Vacant Sky-Volume 1:Contention
« on: March 26, 2009, 12:43:26 AM »

Okay, this isn't "mine", but I was originally a voice actor for it (voice acting got cut for the initial release), I helped write scenarios, and I was a Beta Tester. I'm also one of the repeated gravestones in the game.  ::awesome::

ANYWAY, getting down to the business. This is a game a buddy of mine made by taking RMXP, ripping everything out, building it from scratch, and doing his own shit. I know the majority of people out there who make games through any RPG maker suck and don't know what they're doing, but this really is a top notch production. It's not perfect, there's some quips even I had with it that need to be fixed in the future Volumes, but it's addicting and well written enough to keep you coming back for more. I hope.

I'm giving the link to the project's forums so you can get all the info for Act I and all that good stuff and screen shots and the like.

Nice flowing dialogue bro.


Still, I'll give it a try if some other Slackerz vouch for it, I don't trust downloads coming from random people.

That's understandable, that's another reason why I linked to the forums so it's not me just linking to some random download and going "LOLOL TRY IT OUT GUYS  ::insane::"

I would test it for Domdog, but I had a massive laptop fuck up last week which is probably due to me doing stuff like that. So I'll have to wait until someone else DL's it first before I give it a shot.

Looks not bad though.

That's fine. If you need more proof sans a Slackerz member giving the thumbs up, here's the official topic on RMXP.org

I'm not trying to force it, but he's really on my ass about getting support for the 2nd Volume.

Uhh... I'll try it in a bit, would still like a slacker to back me up on this but, I'll give it a try if they don't.

Be warned though, I am not very found of J-rpgs and its horrible overuse of cliches, and this game seems very much like that.

So this is a game? Do I need to download anything (aside from the game itself) to play it? If not, I'll give it a spin.

You don't have to download anything besides the actual game that's in the download link, no. It's self contained.

EDIT: Even though it's simple, I guess I'll give the directions for how to get it to work. Download the zipped file. Open it up, and there'll be the compressed .exe. Uncompress it to somewhere easy to get to (mine defaults to some extremely obscure folder for some reason). Open the uncompressed folder and there'll be a file called "GAME" with an orange icon. Just open it, and it'll start.

I know! They made those things so fucking hard now, with interlacing shadows and shit. I don't understand it! I know it's to keep bots out, but wouldn't just regular letters do the trick? Why these shadow ninja letters?

They keep getting harder because there are people like me who can make programs to read the pictures  ::almost::

Is there anyway to set this up so I can play it with my controller instead of the keyboard.
