Elysian Shadows

Discussion of new two-man project. (JS Lemming Wutai)

Uhm... What is there to discuss? Gimme some beta screenshots dammit! Tell me about the gameplay. Show me some graphics. Tell me about the mechanics. What're you working on? What is JS Lemming working on?

I've got a few pages of info, but I don't know if I should spoil the game for you, maybe I'll just give you the hunting info.

This "hunting information" will play only a small part in the game, but here it is, straight from my computer.




your main source of life healing items comes from hunting and eating animals. small animals, such as birds, heal less than a larger animal, such as a deer. Some animals such as certain snakes, are poisonous, and will hurt, and poison snake, and depending on the animal, he will lose health fast or slow, until treated with proper medication.

Below is a list of animals you can hunt, they are in order from most healing, to most damage. Animals that heal you will have a + by their name, animals that hurt you will have a - by their name.

Deer +
Large Bird +
Rabbit +
Fish +
Squirrel +
Frog +
Snake +
Brightly Colored Snake -
Brightly Colored Frog -
Different Brightly Colored Snake -


The snakes will attack you, if you get too close to them without killing them first.
If you stay away from them, they won't bother you.

All animals will attempt to run from you if you get too close to them while they can see you. A wounded animal will run away, even if it couldn't see you, although it will die in only a few seconds, and you can find it, and save the meat.
An animal will not run from you if it cannot see you, or if you make no noises, such as shooting a gun, or stepping on leaves.
Different animals can run at different speeds.
Below is a list of animals, in order from the fastest to the slowest.

Fish
Rabbit
Squirrel
Deer
Large Bird
Brightly Colered Snake
Snake
Different Brightly Colored Snake
Frog
Brightly Colored Frog


Some animals can be killed, such as dogs and crocodiles, but not eaten.
Although crocodiles can be killed and used for a disguise, a crocodile
costume, if used properly, and in the right place, will scare a guard, although some may try to kill you, or the... erm, crocodile.


if you kill an animal, and do not collect the meat before leaving the area, it will disappear. Once you kill an animal, it will turn into an item. only a certain amount of each meat can be carried at a time, so if your load of meat is full, you will have to either eat some of your food, or drop some. before you can collect more.

Animals will only respawn after ten real life minutes after it was killed, AFTER you leve the map. All of this means that you have to be out of the map for ten minutes after the animals death before it will respawn.

Certain animals are more plentiful in areas that fit that their needs the best, so more deer would be found in a grassy area, and more frogs would be found in a swampy area.

The amount of animals in the maps will reflect that of real life, so animals will not be found in great numbers in any particular map, with the exception of frogs.

That sound pretty koo. How much do you have done? Will I get a free copy?
I'd like to play it.

The only programmed material that I know of right now is the level editor that JS Lemming is making for me to use, and because all that I know is RM2K, it is going to be layed out alot like the one in RM2K.

But I do have the story, hunting info, stealth gameplay info, weapon list, item list, and some graphics for the game.

And of course it shall be free. Anyone can help, because we are actually using only MIDIs, and we are using RM2K sized chipsets and charsets.
I cannot insure you that your help will be accepted, because we actually want this game to be considered quality.

Expect some of your favorite games combined into one. Unless one of your favorite games is SSX, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Sonic,
Metal Gear Solid (Just Kidding), Pacman, Devil May Cry, Dynasty Warriors,
Monopoly, or Chaos Legion.

That game sounds cool make sure you tell JS lemmings to get me a copy to play your game.

How is sonic and monopoly going to be incorparated?

I said, "unless one of your favorite games is SSX, Tekken, Virtua Fighter, etc."

So Monopoly is a game that will NOT be in it.


JS Lemming, you really need to stop skimming over messages.

ind E. d.

So much skimming, so little time. :D

HA HA HA very funny

Still i think you should finish up your level editor amd other things like that

Yeah, do you think I should release a universal level editor? I would just have to slightly modify my old one. Of course, some games require different things. My old level editor only has 2 layers. The one for the metal gear game has 3. It all depends on what kind of game your making.

OOhhhhhhhhhh...
Which one do you recommend for an RPG???

you should release a univrsal level editor.

See me phucking her!
