/indie/ - Indie Games General

Oh wait, I see the problem. I installed Hell mode instead of Arkantos. I hope this doesn't mean I have to restart.

I got the new Humble Bundle, the hell is Choice Chamber?

Looks like a game that takes full advantage of Twitch. That's actually kind a cool idea. I think you can play it without twitch but I don't know since I've just barely looked it up.

Anyone making a game?

I was looking though the RPGmaker ace tutorials in hopes of making a Joyful mod one day (so I'm just following the steps to make a basic barebones RPG, but I put it aside for the moment because I wanted to try the Arkantos mod.

Question: That whole killing the warlords to get to the top of the list thing is just a means to an end (getting her freedom to explore the world as she pleases without others placing rape and/or control her) so this is just a "what if" type scenario where Buddy decides to form her own pressgang/army out of the warlords instead of killing him. I was pondering how that might affect the story. For example, do you think Rando would still have left Buddy in the middle of her quest if she allowed Vega, Lardy, and Mr Beautiful to live? Or would he still leave because she still had to slice up a lot of their goons?

I was thinking maybe he'd stick around longer, but still get killed off at some point. I was thinking of redesigning him to be somewhat like Tellah from Final Fantasy IV: Strong at first, but gets weaker and lags behind other party members as time goes on. In FFIV, Tellah's stats actually go lower each time he levels up. I was thinking as Buddy got further along her quest, Rando's condition would deteriorate due getting the beat down from Brad, to the point where he sometimes coughs up blood instead of attacking or falls asleep in battle due to staying up all night watching Buddy. I haven't messed around enough in RPGmaker to see if any of this stuff can actually be put into the game though.

Oh man, that sounds really cool. Wasn't there a mod like that being made, or at least something sorta similar with like Buddy and an OC girl?

Nah you can continue from a Hell Mode Remix save. I don't think I changed anything before Arkantos itself.

Oh, I also forgot to mention a bug I found, although it's from hellmode, not Arkantos: You can level Gary up to level 70 (he starts at level 69, very mature BKD,) and he gets two new moves. However, they're not flagged to "Battle only" so you can use them outside of battle. However, since they stun and burn enemies, it does nothing outside of battle except waste SP.

There are (were?) two mods like that: One was being made by this guy:
boards.fireden.net/vg/search/username/JoyfulButWithAnActualParty-Guy/
You can look though the archived posts to see what kind of stuff he's came out with like this Lil' Lincoln.

I think the OC girl is from Arkantos, which is already available. There is a link for it in the booru forums.

There are at least two canceled fangames: The Terry the Hintful fangame, and some sort of different game starring a new character that too place after the flash, but before Olathe went full Apocalypse (you could see policemen, priests, etc.) I think it was called Lisa the Spiteful.

Other people are working on mods, but are generally keeping things low key after seeing those two canceled games get hyped up and then come to a disappointing conclusion.

I found this though:

I think there is another video of the mod where the main character finds a girl hiding, and she asks if it's same to come out. It seems to be unrelated to Brad's and Buddy's stories.

Pruf actually made Gary and Hell Mode itself, which is named the Joyful Gameplay changes and additions mod. BKD only expanded upon it.
That mod is by RhytmCesar and his self-insert buddies. He also posted a Columbo fight, which shows most of his potential. Overall, I think he's kinda lazy in mod making, but has the potential to be a good mod maker.

Also some random mod made for a streamer:

Oh ok. I was wondering what ever happened to that one Buddy mod. I thought that the lil Lincoln mod was part of that mod though. Guess I was wrong. I'm surprised there's not a crossover mod between Lisa and some other game honestly.
