Tales of Thyilos – Public beta demo

Posted by Seamus on

The Beta Demo for ToT has arrived. This public Beta is to allow, well, the Public to take a look at the game, outside of the testing group. Of course there’s still the possible error and odd finish that is clearly unfinished, but, the other part is there and that’s hopefully over an hours worth, which is pretty good for a Beta Demo I think. In the next month, a FULL Demo will be released, but between here and now, the public may play this and have the chance to take art in a rather critical part of the games development! Which as the head developer of the game, I think that’s pretty important since in the end this game isn’t just for me to get a story, or for our artists to get their work more open, but so that the public can enjoy a game and get somewhat immersed in a world other than their own.

So, without further rambling on, here is the Beta Demo!!
-LINK-
(note: there’s been a problem with the customised configuration not going across via the engine’s settings. Go figure! Needless to say, we need to either configure everything to the game default, or, find a script. Until then, we apologise, but you’ll have to manually configure the keys to fit this image provided. You can access the keyboard config by hitting F1.)

Unfortunately, the Thyilosian Lore Book is currently unavailable. Story is a priority, so a document that is relevant as such is VERY important. So the Beta version of the book that I promise will become available within two weeks, which will include original concept art, and a painted version of the Four Kingdoms; as well as information about the world of Thyilos you would not have otherwise discovered.

NOTICE!! To ensure a safe download ONLY download via the link I provided, or, via a link on RPG Revolution, or Studiowisp.com, or blacknekosstudios/planetindie

Seriosuly, if you see it anywhere else, report it, because it IS a fake.

4 Days till Beta

Posted by Seamus on

The Tales of Thyilos Beta Demo will be released within 4 days! With luck, it’ll be clean and functional, so any player can pick it up, get into it, and play through without encountering any bugs. The system may not be perfectly balanced just yet, and there may be a re-write of the system later into the project if things start to seem unbalanced and unfixable later on. But I wont hide that the team and I hopes that all those how play can provide helpful feedback!

Will post up some concept art, hopefully tomorrow.

Have a good weekend, everyone!

BETA Release for Tales of Thyilos

Posted by Seamus on

The BETA Demo for Tales of Thyilos: Heroes of the Four Kingdoms will be released this month! At the rate its going, it’ll probably be on the 30th, which is still fortunately within the timeline I scheduled it!

And exclusive download of the BETA version for the Thyilosian Lore book will be included, which will have all the background behind the world the game is set on, and perhaps even help with a little secrets otherwise left hidden! This book when finished will be fully released as a free e-book or in the least a PDF. If it can be done, limited hard-copies of the book will be released.

SoT update!!

Posted by Dark Rosa on

Okay!! ^^ I have a small update, but still…at least its something, right?
lol Anyway…I have a few screenshots of the interior of the houses, and the town itself. RoseReveries, the creater of KoT,  will be mapping all of my towns for SoT.  I’m still a little shaky when it comes to mapping, and I found out that me and towns…well…we’re mortal enemies.
To view the images, click on this symbol:  Oh! before I forget…the symbol that I used is the Time seed in SoT, it has a major part in the game. HuskyHeartMedia’s EmilLowell created this icon for me.

The one all the way to the left is the town itself. the 6 beside it is the interior of the houses and the shop.

I have been working on this for awhile now, and I’m just now able to start making it, but hey..at least now it’s being created. So far, I have the first map down, and I have a cave, but it’s still a work in progress, so I will not be showing it just yet. I have almost all of the storyline done, so there might be another update soon, might not. lol

Well, thanks for reading all of this rambling of mine ^^

New Concept Art – Tales of Thyilos

Posted by Seamus on

There’s some new concept art now up for Tales of Thyilos, and there’s more soon to come.

Linda: Our lovely Linda, now looking more adorable. Her appearance and facial gesture relfects her bubbly and playful nature.

Jaden: Looking as determined as always. Never fear, he doesn’t always look so serious.

Eric: For those who’ve missed this part of his profile… Eric suffers from Arachnophobia. But who wouldn’t? Just look at all those legs and eyes! (I’d like to take this moment to highlight none of the ToT developers are afraid of spiders. Or at least, I’m not).

Progression on Tales of Thyilos

Posted by Seamus on

I thought I’d post an update so people knew where the project was at:
So at this point, the majority of bugs and issues in the Alpha DEMO have been fixed. With luck, everything will be good to go for the BETA Demo (hopefully coming out Early December).

I’ll be finding time to make the animated intro, which will replace the boring evented intro at the start. This animation will hopefully contain a custom track made by the Music/Sound artist.

At the moment, the only new mapping being done is a scene which follows shortly after gaining the next two party members, Carol and Bruce. Without giving away any major spoilers, I will say that you need to escape from captivity, but not before obtaining a key item that is needed in order to obtain another, very important item.

That’s about it for now though. Just fixing things up and doing some more mapping and eventing. Hopefully everything goes well and we stay on schedule!

Music/Sound Artist

Posted by Seamus on

So after a spontaneous meeting today, Tales of Thyilos may now have a permanent musician.

We are quite stoked for seeing how things go, and hope all works out. The pre-sets for RPG Maker can only work for so long, before they’re overheard and boring, and for players who play games created on RMXP, 2K or VX, you’ll probably hate it. A capable musician is a welcome addition.

BETA Testers for Tales of Thyilos

Posted by Seamus on

So as promised, I said I’d have something of a Closed BETA test ready by the end of this month, which means it has to be done, uploaded, and ready for those who wish to test, to download and explore what there is in the world thus far.

The BETA will include:

  • The ability to explore up to 60% of Verdok, the first Kingdom you have access to.
  • Two side quests
  • Three story based quests
  • A boss battle

With any luck, I’ll also find time to construct the cinematic I wanted to have at the start. Depends if I find time for sketching, and audio recording. If not, then I’m afraid it’ll have to be the standard story opening.
Most maps will also seem empty too because I rushed through a basic construction of them in order to be able to get to the eventing part.

I do ask for those of you who do opt to play the BETA Demo, to report any errors you spot, such as terrain that you can walk-over when you shouldn’t, events that may not have played through properly or stopped/looped unexpectedly, and the odd portion of missed code or grammatical/spelling error, in which I’m sure I’ve missed a few at least.

I also invite people to make suggestions about the game. The best one will hopefully not only be successfully implemented, but the one who suggested it will get a NPC version of themselves in the game as part of a random side quest later on.

If you wish to be a BETA Tester for us, then please e-mail me at smeadth.studiowisp@gmail.com with the following~

The e-mail you wish the Download link sent to
The potential name for yourself
Application detailing why you wish to take part, and please treat this as a proper application (we are sorry about asking for an application like this, but please understand that this is a closed BETA for a game in progress, and we working on it are the owners. We will be putting much trust in those we do send a BETA to be able to play it, without ripping it off, stealing work from it, or attempting to distribute it as their own. Doing so is theft. Also, since the majority of graphics in the game are still pre-sets, Enterbrain owns much of the rights, so if you steal from us, you steal from them too. So please be respectful).

Closing date for applications is 31th August, 10pm AEST

Thank you. ^_^
