I hope Bob has more interesting things to do in his game besides wandering around the mall.
The concept is pretty impressive though. Looks like something someone could have made on RPGmaker, only he created it all himself. Good for Bob.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
well, if you read the caption....the video is supposed to be of an asset demo.
But yeah, Bob is paranoid and is hesitant to show significant gameplay footage.
I'll mention if anything new gets posted though...

well, tell your bob-friend that mindless level grinding dungeon crawling is half the fun of any RPG...
still, looks decent, I hope it won't end up as "it's friday today, so wait a few hours before you can find the next quest character, go read a book or something until then".

You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I think bob's game video is on youtube so I can't see it, but I hope he stays with it and makes something worthwhile.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
It look fun and nice, but, is the game available for download anywhere at all?(And put it on a flashcart for DS)
Or is that just a presentation to say he's been working on a game for 5 years now?
Also, does it make use of Both screen? (Like bottom screen for inventory with touch screen capability)

It says he's looking for a publisher, so I don't think it'll be available for download. Don't quote me on that, though :O
Nope, not available yet. A lot of it is still secret too.

Awe. A easier button pushing experience. Brilliant.
Assertn, if he manages that, then he should be kidnapped to any DS producing company. decent mini map travel is impossible to find.

Looks pretty good especially for a 1 man job. Too bad he wasted 5 years on the ds, he could have done so much more with the psp.
Is he doing it for fun or does he hope that someone will hire him after seeing it?
Darkshadow below: I'm not saying that the Ds is a bad console, but with all the homebrew and software development around the psp nowadays he could have probably done a better job in less time.

keep your bias to yourself, the DS is an excellent platform and he didn't waste anything.Originally Posted by The Archangel
Let's not forget that DS homebrew is much easier of access than PSP...
You need a flashcart and... well... that's it... No need to fuck around with firmware and other bullcrap like that just to play homebrew/backup games/etc.. and the risk of bricking your DS with a flashcart is low (pretty much impossible) compared to PSP.
But let's not go there. There's already at least 1 billion threads on the Internet of DS vs PSP so let's not turn this thread into one too.
Do you think your friend could release a small demo or something? (Like 1 pre-made day?)
He's been discussing the game in more detail here:
http://forums.somethingawful.com/sho...0&pagenumber=1
I'm trying to get him to release more vids or something to show actual gameplay, Mayybe he might put up a playable demo, but I wouldn't count on it. He's pretty excited that he's getting some attention though

seems he got some kotaku exposure, he is now officially famous ;o

So much characters... so much to read.

The demo was quite fine. I had some fun playing it.
I am training in the shadows.
Currently playing: All of your games, probably.
Lol, I found the warning screen and subsequent "Licensed by Nintendo" splash screens pretty humorous.
As for the game itself, the dialogue between Yuu and the rest of the family was pretty good. Overall, it wasn't too bad, I wouldn't mind giving the full game a run through.
