Aptos Adventures 1: Complete, Chapter 6.
Well it's been a year since I started working on Aptos Adventures 1: Complete version. Not as much progress done as I'd like. Aptos Adventures II has been on hiatus a bit. I've finished 20/100 enemies in clay. I'm adding too much new stuff, chapter six is going to be a little different from the original.

BEFORE


AFTER- Yes, those tanks are ripped from Contra III. and the hovercrafts are a palette swap from Crono Trigger

You could have an option in the menu for walk speed. If you need someone to test the game shoot me an email at [email protected] when you're ready.

Nope it's dead

Pretty cool. Hope you can finish this!
As soon as I switched to Active and entered a battle the game froze.
Also you should make the walk speed faster or have a run option.
I liked the option of pressing shift to see the exits and Cloud's location.
Graphics are nice. Once the MP3s are in you should make it default to mp3.
I don't know anybody in their right mind who would prefer midi

Clay enemies I've made so far. I used the flash on my camera on the bottom ones, that's why they look better. Unfortunately I took apart the earlier ones so I can't redo them :/ I can change the contrast to make them brighter though.

Calunio that looks really....unique. And awesome!

Aptos Adventures 1: Complete. More clay enemies, these are actually the two main baddies in the game:




Welshbon's beard was way too huge so I had to use MS Paint to fix it, you can kinda tell.... also fixed his glasses and eyebrows....I don't know if I should redo him.
The top guy, Goobindos, his cape is actually a cut up towel lol

Yeah but that only makes the one using the skill disappear

It worked! in the battle events, when the skill is used it inflicts a temporary condition that turns the other twin invisible
and then turns them back! But now I have to separate the twin category to just these skills (before under this category they had their own unique skills as well)

In my game Aptos Adventures (Rpgm 2003), a pair of twins can do dual attacks.
What I want is to make it so the other twin's battle graphic
disappears when this skill is used (the one who uses it
disappears as the battle animation of them attacking is shown).
I guess I could do this with classes but how would you trigger
it when the skill is used?

Making progress on the demo with the help of Todd Audas who's doing a Let's Play of the Beta DX version. Check his Youtube channel toddfuckingaudas.
Hopefully I'll be nearing completion by summer. Then I can work on Aptos Adventures 2 again!
I made a Xmas '10 tech demo walkthrough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg1zrphbIYc&feature=channel_video_title

Barrel graphic on the right is messed up. Ugh there's no savepoint by this boss, got my ass kicked after two turns

That pink woman is locked to face right

Is this intentional?

Thought this was RM2k at first
I like that you can repel enemies, but if you've surrounded by enemies the message keeps appearing until you can get away. In Aptos Adventures I make the enemies walk-throughable when you escape, kinda like in Mario when he gets hit he's temporarily invincible

In the US everyone has to take at least two years of  foreign language in high school, and in college there is the option of taking a foreign language class but I think any communications class fulfills that requirement as well.
Speaking from my experience most people do not continue with language study after that.
I took an interest to the Japanese language and stuck with it, by chance. I have never been interested in anime like 99.9% of people that want to learn Japanese. Unless you live in a bigger city Japanese language classes aren't offered at most public schools. I was lucky because I went to a college prep school and they had it there, but I transferred to a public school my sophomore year so I resorted to taking classes at community college.
I was also lucky because I had a good teacher who pushed me to study, and because she also taught at community college I took her classes over a period of five or six years, so I guess it helped that we knew each other well.

Most Americans don't have to learn a foreign language because they don't travel. Most people don't ever leave the country, many don't leave their state, and some don't even leave their city (for financial reasons)
But even people that do travel assume people speak English everywhere, which is true to an extend but it pisses me off.

These are generalizations but I think most people would agree, even Americans.
Of course there are lots of people that get interested in a language or culture but it really comes down to having an interest or actually needing to know the language.

Since I've lived in Japan for a year it was necessary to know the language to survive and make friends. I mean you can get by in Tokyo to some degree if you know basic Japanese but it's really advantageous to know the respective language of that country. The people in my program that didn't know that much Japanese couldn't make many Japanese friends
