Something Stupid IX

[Draygone]

EDIT: It has come to my attention that some people are unable to play the demo. I am currently figuring out what the problem is, so please don't get discouraged if you are unable to play it. /EDIT

Not that there are not eight other stupids, but I figure I'd add the number anyway.

This is a game I'm creating for RPG Maker XP (yes, I own a legit copy), and I have a demo out. If you want to play it (or just want info on the game), you can find out about it by clicking on the link in my sig and clicking on the Something Stupid IX topic.

Please note, you don't need any special equipment or RMXP itself to play the game.

Why not post all the information here? I'm just evil that way.

Important edit in first post!

Okay, I downloaded the RTP off of the Japanese website and ran Something Stupid IX. It is just the town? I tried to get to the castle, but there was no way to leave town.

Very funny stuff. I played around with it and found lots of little side jokes like sleeping in the wrong bed and the horse wisher. Funny stuff. I can't wait until you get this finished.

[Draygone]

Yeah, it was just the town. I hope I can keep up with the pace with the jokes.

And I'm glad you were able to play it. I kinda figured playing it required one to download the RTP, but hard to find that out without uninstalling RMXP.

Could someone post a link to the RTS file you spoke of? I'd like to check out your finished game, but I can't even read the Japanese website on my computer, so I have no hopes of finding it there.

Here is the link to the page with the RTP on it:

and this is the link to the file:

Unfortunately, I could not finish it in time for the contest deadline. I tried finishing it in a hurry yesterday, by cutting out a huge portion of the planned game and skipping supper, but I missed the deadline by an hour and a half. I'm taking the loss well, and taking advantage of the oppurtunity to finish the game like it was supposed to be. So, it's not finished, and may be a few weeks before it is, depending on how much I work on it. More than I have been, that's for sure. There were some days where I didn't even touch it, others where I didn't work on it for much longer than an hour (if that).

And just be glad that I'm taking the time, because the version I tried to finish for the contest is absolute crap beyond the town.

[Doan the Nado]

Well, thanks for the links, DW. Sorry you missed the contest, but like you said, that may turn out to be a good thing. I look forward to trying out this game, especially because I'm interested in how it will play out on a CPU.

[Doan the Nado]

So what's the deal? Is this one done yet, Draygone?

[Draygone]

Oh yeah, I forgot about this game. Hmm... I need to get back on it sometime.

EDIT: Sorry to say this, but I won't be working on this for quite some time. I have decided to revive an old project I've been wanting to finish for years, and it will require nearly 100% of my game-creation attention.

Hey Dray, I was going through some old files in my Program Files and I was like, "Hey, Something Stupid IX". Anyways, I opened it up, played it, and loved it. There's really nothing there yet (except for some great comedy), but I still found it very worthwhile, and I was smiling/laughing several times per minute. There were so many great touches, and I don't want to spoil it for everyone, so I won't say exactly what it is I liked (but I can't resist: I loved the weapon shop, the inn, the house beds, the tower, the mystic, the prank, the clock, everything). Suffice it to say that I examined everything (as far as I know), and every single thing was funny.

At any rate, I hope you someday decide to finish this game. I would love to see what else you do with this idea. Would you like me to host this on my site? I am currently hosting HolyFlame's game on my site in a zip file that includes the necessary RTP file. I would love to host yours the same way.

[Draygone]

Personally, I'd have to wonder how long I'd be able to keep things up. I never planned on making the game very long, but even at the short length, it'd be hard making enough funny stuff when about every object is made to be funny.

Anyway, I'm not really interested in it being up anywhere at the moment. No point having a demo of a game that's not in development. I do hope to bring it back someday, though who knows when, and when I do, I'll be sure to show off the demo again as I work on the rest.

[Doan the Nado]

Okay, well, good luck with it. I really do hope that you get back to it eventually, though...
