Aevilia - a RPG made from (nearly) scratch

Hello people !

I've been programming a game for a while, so, I thought it would be nice to post it here.
It's a RPG… unfortunately as of right now there's not much of a scenario ; it's more of a demo of a game engine.
I'd like people to test it, and why not, tell me what cool features I should add !
(I am working on the scenario, world & character design with a friend)


Non-general stuff follow - enjoy anyway - this game is a work in progress so i am not responsible for any damage caused by the product to your computer, keyboard, mouse, mental health, house, or planet - © ISSOtm 2015-9999999999whatever - do not copy or else i'll kick your butt - wow seriously you read the EULA ? Cmon, you're a cool mon. Sorry for the pun.

~~ Version 0.3.0 ~~
As of right now, the game only exists as a Linux version, plus it is in French, plus it requires you to install a graphical lib.
If you want, I can give you the source if you want to compile it for Windows (and if you do, I'd be very happy if you sent me the exe)
For those that don't care, here goes nothing : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54952583/Aevilia.0.3.0.tar.gz
For those wondering about size'n'stuff, the tar file is 116 Ko large, and the uncompressed data is 952 Ko large.
You'll need to install the SDL2 lib ; to do so, run the following command in a terminal as root :

apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0

Enjoy !

PS : If anyone asks, I'll try to make an English version. However my English isn't perfect, as you'd guess, so… :P

I could fix any mistakes made if you do your best to translate it yourself. I'm a grammar/spelling nerd, so…

'Kay, I'll be releasing a translated version.
You wanna get teh source or teh exe ?
Still Linux-only, huh.

Source. Tarball preferred, but anything works.

Welp, here goes !

I didn't translate the function names (too much of a hassle), just the strings.
There are a few mistakes, plus you may crash the game if incorrectly using some of the DEBUG features.
Enjoy anyway (but install libsdl2-2.0-0 before).

I'll do my best. Quick question: Does it have line-format syntax (a lá Pokémon)? I have no Linux towers and VM software currently hates me. If it does have syntax of that sort, I'll have to RUN it, so it'll add like 2 weeks…

No idea what you're talking about.
Sorry :/
Could you exploit ? I guess I'm just a noob.

(Explain, not exploit.)


In PKMN there is a specific byte to scroll down and designate a new window. There's also one for moving text down a line.

I got it to run under Windows. Kind of.

It perpetually sends me back to the main menu after I try to select anything.
Nothing interesting shows in the log files, and I don't want to go through the pain of reading someone else's code.

I'm gonna have to remind you of the DebugYellow ASM file. As many put it, "Excuse me what the fuck?"
It's like that with your stuff too! :P

Aw, smash. None of the options seem to work, then ? I wonder why.
Does the FR version work on Windows ? Otherwise this looks as an OS compatibility issue :/

"Aw, smash" should be "Aw, crap". "looks as an" should be "looks like an".
Just helping you fix your English.

I have a question about this RPG, what type of battling there will be?
Pokémon styled, Final Fantasy styled, etc.

Right now,  I haven't decided. There are two lines of code to set up battle data and restore previous map header data.

I guess I won't be making Pokemon-style battles… even though I'M potins her***INCOMING TON OF IRONY***

ISSOtm I always found it very sweet you made the protagonist me. I've shied away from this a lot due to stress, how is Aevilia going?
