So this is a game I'm developing since 2.5 weeks ago
And big thanks to David Goncalves for teaching me a lot, despite being new friends (now not new anymore) . Much respected as a very patient and humble teacher .
Well, OK, here's what SF is. It's a Visual Novel combined with a Tetris-like game. Just try playing the SF Example and you'll see exactly what it is. Well, it's just a very simple one. You can really create much more complex levels, with garbage lines coming from the bottom, strong lines, or randomly removing tiles, rows or columns (more features will be added in the future). The backgrounds and story are poor, but this example includes most important features.
The thing is, the whole story is based on everything written inside the data folder, which is completely modifiable with just Notepad++. So by posting this stuff here, I'm hoping some of you guys (even one is good ) are interested in writing the story (e.g. fighting against a dragon which dies when the player clears 100 lines lol but seriously any story can be interesting).
If you would, you will be writing scripts. You'll have the power to display any texts, choices, character images, backgrounds, music, (no sound effects yet though), and of course, to call a game and make a conditional branch based on win/lose, or even based on game statistics. (the update two days ago actually allows us to use variables in our scripts if needed for more complex events).
I also provided List.docx and List.doc - they are the same: a guide to writing your story. I'd recommend you to read the Story Mechanics part first. Then, try to open and understand the occasion files in the SF Example by referring to the list in these documents.
I'm still developing the game, it still needs some more game-features (such as spawning giant pieces ). If you have a suggestion, I'd be glad to hear. Well, I'm also trying to write my own story ^.^ although it's hard for me to make it any interesting ._.
Oops, almost forgot to provide the download link. SF v1.0a (5.53 MB)
(run Sevenfour.exe to start the game)
SF Empty is same as SF Example, except it has no data.
note: all images must be 24-bits bitmap. all sounds/musics must be mp3. game might not work if you're not on Windows.
PS: any reply is appreciated :P .
