Like I said, the Preview version was just to give you guys something to look at since this project is taking so long. It's not meant to be jaw dropping, it's just meant to show the player how things will operate.
And even then, a lot of things from that Preview have and will change from the final product when it's completed. Not much longer now...
Luckily i will do the complaining about the beta "OMG THATS SUX"
and stiff like taht
However I won't be able to complain about something wrong with the story, because killer memorized the entire game... litteraly! He helped me play half of the first disc of the real FF7, then he got busy and I went to GameFAQs :/
That is crazy, that game is huge.
Wow nice shots of the map! looks good. As a big fan of ffa serie, Good job to you, if you need help playtesting i would be more than willing to help =]
CraigIts not diffacult to memorize the whole game... Althou ive never played it it should still be easy to memorize if it is such a memoral game
I never enjoyed it that much, it worked too slowly for me. And i didn't enjoy the plot.
WellMad there's only 2 slots to be played, killer is obviously going to play the map. And I'm a beta tester... so I think were good
You could get another team together once it starts to look less Alpha Beta and such, and slowly expand.
I plan on having a few teams beta test it and report back to me when they find any bugs and such... Some bugs might require me to see for myself so I can diagnose the problem and fix accordingly.
This is multiplayer only or able to play in Single Player?
No way it would function with Single Player. The center view lag would throw a lot of the scenes off.
But if you mean Single Player as in one player then yes. It can be either one player or two players.
How likely is it for bugs to effect the game from now on? Are they at the level where it ruins the game, or just gives unfair advantage, disadvantage?
Killer you said the majority of this map is text right? So there shouldn't be THAT many bugs.

No. I said you will spend the majority of the time READING the dialog because there's so much. There's a lot of other game functions, and stuff that happens behind the scenes from what you really see, I expect to see many bugs in the first beta.
Personally I'm looking forward to the dialogue and the cinematics... that's just me though.
How many strings does one Transmission trigger take?
I thought it was 1 for the sound file, and one for the unit name selected, one for the text...
John it doesnt work like that. The sound takes up one single string in your map. When you change a unit's name it takes a string. Each text message takes up a string.
So killer has become a great speller
Wouldn't it suck if one of the characters said antidishtabli
erism
and he spelled it wrong?
Was playing, got into a battle and my guy is now missing...man u gotta debug previews or it gives people a first bad impression that the entire game will probably suck.

Yeah well, the preview was meant to show you guys what the gameplay and mechanics are gonna be like, and even then it doesn't show you everything. You can expect bugs because it's not meant to be perfect, I didn't go searching for bugs I just made sure it was playable. If you think the preview reflects that of the real game's quality then I feel sorry for you.
As for the game's progress, I'm taking a little break from mapping. Been playing Need for Speed Underground 2 lately and it's got me hooked in. Once I get bored with that I'll continue the map and finish it off.
This just keeps getting better and better well done.

Heh killer needed a break bad. Every time i was on bnet he was working on his map. Hash and I yanked him from it maybe twice to play with us =p.

Hohoho... Good luck there because I got it saved as an ISO image mounted on a virtual drive so you'd be better off shooting my Hard Drive
I'm almost done with the game anyways so I'll probably start on the map again tomorrow.
*Distracts Killer with a limited edition of FF: Advent Child. WHich makes him go outside. I take his Broodwar Cd and blow up his house*
[CK Edit; Save this stuff for the RP forum i'll force them to make!]
