Panda P.I.'s RPG Maker community game: polls, suggestions, and status

Current progress:

- Finished porting the game to RPG Maker MV.
- I am now updating the maps with parallax mapping.
- I am also putting the story in the game, but I won't show that until its nearing completion.
- http://i.imgur.com/g341gO3.png (I distract you from my delays with something shiny)
- Fancy lighting/shadow effects didn't survive the transition to MV and I won't be adding them back into the game until after the story is complete.

Sorry for there being so few updates.

First two polls have closed and third poll is up.

Easter egg ideas from groupees chat:
-Hidden package(s) with a black mark on them. (Reference to user black mark who dropped keys in chat)
-Green cat follows Jonny around

we need someone who stand next to a "painted on the wall door" who keeps ranting about needing keys
maybe have a green light be over the wall

Definitely digging the club song, Panda! Keep up the great work. :D

As for some input for my tastes:

I'd probably make the city looking areas (1 and 3) a little more "busy" That's going to depend on the vibe you're trying to give off, though.

I really like that building in your 4th concept, but for some reason my brain doesn't want to look at it for more than a few seconds. I'm not sure if it's all the different colored patterns (dark grey and grey checkerboard with the green and dark grey diamonds, and then the black and green hexagons on the back combined with the different patterns on all the furniture), or if it's just my weirdness. It's frustrating because I like the design, but part of my brain is going "Wai u do dis!?" Granted, if it's one of those clubs, then that could be your intent! :D

The 2nd concept is awesome. It's very fitting of the type of environment it looks like you're trying to make for that part of the game. Gives off a kind of sterile laboratory feel.

I'll make sure to keep checking back for updates whenever I get the chance!

Quilliano Dec 24, 2014 @ 10:40pm

Voted, nice ideas, can't wait!

Tyler Dec 26, 2014 @ 3:57pm

4th poll has ended and 5th poll has started. VOTE!

I like the Demo3 track very much!
And the Idea in general... I love it!!!
Thanks Panda, you're the king!

An idea: You can put the community bundles artists (from this and previous bundles, may be...) as NPC. I think it would be nice to have Noah T or J J Mekes as a character. (I'm Lanark, so may be it's kind of an ego suggestion, hehe)

Uploaded and posted a fourth soundtrack bit.

Uploaded and posted a fifth soundtrack bit. This one is a bit more whimsical and some of you may recognize it as a remix of a tune off my Mermaid Adventure OST.

#14

Tyler Dec 28, 2014 @ 8:54pm

2 more soundtrack demo tunes added to the OP.

I still haven't come up with an idea for a 6th poll yet. I'm just going to be hammering away at this game now I guess unless someone can come up with another good idea for a poll.
