Before I get started, I would just like to say I know, I know. "Hey bulldozer, what's holding up Felix The Cat 2? Are you EVER going to get back to work on it?" FTC2 will resume active development as soon as possible. SO QUIT SPAMMING MY INBOX ABOUT IT! My goodness... ----- WARNING! CONTAINS SPOILERS! ----- We know you love Ib, Mad Father, The Witches House, and Misao, but since Bella's Mansion has been rated T 15 for ages 15 and up, be sure to get your parents permission BEFORE you play it! I know many people have played and loved the RPG Maker survival horror games ( such as Ib, Mad Father, The Witches House, ETC ), much like myself. In fact, I loved them so much, I decided to throw a new game into the mix: Bella's Mansion. But let me tell you, it was no walk in the park by any means. Even though I was already very familiar with RPG Maker 2003 ( I had used it pretty much since RPG Maker VX launched ), I had NO IDEA how to go about doing a survival horror game in the same style as Ib. So I had to experiment with many of the software's functions in order to figure out how to do what and when. One of the most challenging things for me was using the "Common Events". I had never before tried to use them, so this was a learning experience for me. But since I couldn't use the in-game pause menu, I needed some way to display how much health you had left. Common Events play a pretty big role in this game, since they are responsible for displaying your health meter in the upper-left corner ( which was inspired by Resident Evil, GO FIGURE ). During development, I managed to add two things we probably have NEVER seen before in an RPG Maker survival horror game: A difficulty The difficulty The sprites of Bella and Super were a bit difficult. But luckily, I managed to find a base on deviantART which I used to make Bella and Super's sprites, making the job much easier. If ever your in doubt about making sprites, go to deviantART. They got you covered. Most of the music and sound effects were taking from Freesound, which was alright, since I managed to find an online audio converter to change their file type to meet RPG Maker 2003's requirements. I had to use an online converter to change the file type of the videos that contained the credits as well. And there being two sets of credits ( one for the EASY and NORMAL mode ending, and one for the HARD mode ending ) didn't help matters at all. But then again, you gotta do what you gotta do, right? In the end, I loved making this great game, and I do hope it will live up to the standards of other games such as Ib, Mad Father, and The Witches House. Although it kind of got on my nerves for a while, I had a lot of fun. And I bet Bella had a lot of fun with it to. And yes, Bella is somebody I know in real life, but since I wanted to make something special for Halloween, and I needed a main character for the game, I decided to have her be the main character ( which made her very happy ). If you would like to speak with her, look up Bella16900 on ROBLOX ( that's her in all her glory ). Just try not to plug her with TO MANY questions. She gets annoyed easily. The game is now finished, and is ready for download. So if you love RPG Maker games, survival horror games, or, well, BOTH, go download it and enjoy the bulldozer out of it! Links to everything are on my profile. Well, it's getting late, and I have to get back to work on Felix The Cat 2 ( good gravy, people want that game SO BAD! ). Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the game! Image upload: 217x82 totaling 4 KB's. FTC2 will resume active development as soon as possible. SO QUIT SPAMMING MY INBOX ABOUT IT!

bulldozerman185 : I don't know much about what you're talking about other than what you pointed out, but these games sound cool enough. Therefore, I feel like you should be congratulated. |
