I am making an Rpg from scratch, it is going to be a prequel to a bigger and better Rpg, this is just helping me learn how to make one.
The basic plot is a man is kidnapped, and taken away from his home town. During the journey the carriage is ambushed and he escapes. he must now find his way back home, over coming perils as he goes. This game will end as he reaches his home.
sound any good?
IsmAvatar spellcheck: a way = away, carraige = carriage, was = way

its okay, but you should make it so that in the begining when he is kidnapped, that you can play there as well.

eg. the bit that explains all the controls.

Sounds okay. It'll be interesting to see how you're going to pull this off.

yea, a bit of a bump in the releasing of the demo, i decided to refine my game(deleting objects, merging them etc), and have found loads of errors and bugs. I am trying to keep this new way, but am finding it hard getting rid of the ugs, more info soon tho!

I love debugging. Just track down every error. It tells you exactly where to find them. The ones that are the most annoying are ones where something may cause an error later on in the game, but isn't detected until that later on, so it's detected somewhere, but not in the form of what is causing it. Ok, that was confusing.
Arrays can't be negative, so you can't have global.item[-1] = 0. now, if mm = -1, and i say global.item[mm] then it'll give an error in the global.item[mm], where the real problem is that mm is negative.
Anyways, good luck debugging, and don't give up.

i know exactly what you mean!
if you have a long if statement, and miss a }, the the error will say it is missing one at the end, but it is really missing one in the middle!
anyway, most of the bugs are sorted, and a lot of help was needed(although none gotten!), as you may have been able to tell be the q&a posts.
A demo should be ready by monday! it will show the basic engine, with a shop, and inventory, and a battle engine. The dialogue may be running, if I can get it sorted! None of the sprites will be the ones used in the real game, as i haven't made them yet.

ok, basic engine is 30% complete, and i have decided that i am not going to release a demo until I have made sprites and the full engine, this would be a more professional approach!
