That is looking very cool, you know! But I have some comments. You won't mind, right?

~ The art things are very cute, but their style doesn't really bend well with the background and I think they stand out too much. It may be because of their too cartoony style.

~ I loved seeing the logo I made there! But perhaps removing the white thing could make it look better? It's just a little suggestion to make it bend in more. :smile:

I think that's all. Thanks for listening! ^^

oh well the logo kinda doesn't really have that nice look to it without the white, and the art things are the best i could do >.< I guess I could go over the shading with gimp and something called a smudge tool, but it would still stick out, I guess it's a good thing that they stick out because they are supposed to attract attention.

Thank you and have a nice day!

This is basically all I got right now, I had to change it because I figured out that I used horrible graphics for the title screen, I need some ideas on how to tell the player which option is selected, any ideas are welcomed.

Thank you and have a nice day!

As I said in your other thread, that looks tons better, I also gave an opinion/idea of how you could show option selections, but I'll say it here too;

Use the leaf from the D (The one to the right which is hovering over the y) as a pointer, and place it to the left of the selected option, personally I think it'd look good.

 

[zchin]

Yeah, it should work out, I'm probably going to have to remove the drop shadow when I take the leaf off the logo... I'm probably going to put in the drop shadow again though...

Thank you and have a nice day!

I'd make the options text thicker.

Or perhaps the writing becomes bigger when you select that option?

 

[zchin]

Ahh, well the options are supposed to look like someone carved it into the tree, making it thicker might not complete the illusion though... Same with making the text bigger when it's selected... I think I'm going to go with the leaf selector... But it's actually rather hard to make it work, I'll update this post soon with what I can manage... Thanks for the suggestions and all.

Edit: Managed it, but it still looks a bit odd... (Don't mind the only one option thing though...)

Comments?

Thank you and have a great day!

i think it still looks nice. do you use photoshop at all? i think there maybe a way of getting the etched/ carved in effect.

They all look tacked on though.

 

[zchin]

Ahh, i guess so, but I'm limited to paint.net, Gimp, and gale so this is the best I could do... But I think it's passable.

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

[luv_kitty12]

It's looking very nice in my opinion, but one thing bothering me is the little blue border around the letters and cursor. ^^; As for the letters carved in tree, it's looking nice but it needs to flow in somehow. If you need help with it, I can help! <3

 

[zchin]

Ummm, sorry, but could you repeat that? Or explain it a but because I'm totally lost at what you said :crazy: sorry.

Thank you and have a nice confuzzling day!

 

[luv_kitty12]

Haha, sorry if I was too fast! xD If you check the screenie, you'll see that there is a thing blue border around the letters and cursor. It's not looking very good in my opinion. And I was saying that if you needed help carving the letters in the tree somehow, I can help since I have PhotoShop. ^^

 

[Jason]

That's not a border around them, there's just a slight gap between the logo and the drop shadow, and what you see is the background showing through, it doesn't look bad to be honest, it sort of helps the logo pop out so it doesn't look like a flat image.

 

[luv_kitty12]

Ahh I see. It just stood out to me, that's all. ^^; It's not looking too bad but somewhat off but that's just my little opinion. <3

 

[zchin]

I personally like thee blue border, and I don't think it needs to be changed... If you want to try and make that etched on effect with the text then your more then welcomed. Just tell me what is necessary to make it.

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

[luv_kitty12]

Ahh alright then. ^^ I was just giving an opinion, that's all. ^^ As for the text, I am going need the layers to do so if you'd like me to help you. ^^;

 

[zchin]

Okay, I sent you a pm.

I've been working on the Korina battler because I finished the Coe battler, I'll need to make Korina's battler 4 times to include all of the weapons:
Axe
Knife
Spear
Bow
So it's going to take a long time...
here is her idle pose for what looks like 3 of the battlers.

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

[zchin]

Ok, so thanks to luv_kitty12 the title screen is finished...
I should start making a credits piece to the thread, I'll work on it and then post it here soon.

Also, I'll send some more screenshots coming your way soon, hopefully, very soon.

Thank you and have a nice day!

 

[zchin]

I was working on the intro and I just figured out that I can't have any wood in my fort place, it's got me totally stumped on everything now :crazy: , my map looks utterly horrible without trees and wood... Does anyone know of any other alternative?

Thank you and have a nice day :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:
