Ðоııу":7geqvz1c said:There was no real need for specifics when it's substandard in every way. Whether you drew it or not, whoever has drawn it has given you a load of ill-proportioned, terribly coloured bad-ime characters, which for the most part look like they've recently collapsed a vein shooting heroin.
Even, then, you can't dodge the criticism bullet by saying "she does it for free I can't afford better whine whine". Firstly, if you designed the characters, you are partially responsible for how bad they are. Second, her doing it for free, and your not getting offers/not being able to afford otherwise does not mean they are exempt from being bad. Third, do not try to debunk valid points with "it's art". Any japfag without an iota of talent can scrawl ^_____^ on paper and call it art, but that doesn't quite make it so.
They really are bad, sorry.
The first screenshot is ok and I could play a game in that style. The pallettes are nice and the lineart is good on the tileset. The shop scene is also really well laid out, though the girl is a bit misproportioned and there are odd lines on her. She looks incredibly annorexic (if not a skeleton wrapped in clingfilm :cute: ).
The other screenshots however... well, they aren't as good as the first, I'm sorry. The grass is way too saturated compared to the first screenshot (you'd do yourself a huge favour sticking to one style).
After looking at the images nothing really matches, like it's a completely different game. Nothing fits colour-wise.
The story is good, I've read it before, but the only thing that would stop me from playing this game would be the due to how it looks. The girl sprite looks like she is 7 years old, but when you look at her in the HUD and other various places you can see that she is far from a child.

oh jesus. hi, bob.Hello, honestly since the DSi only came out weeks ago, I can't say I know more than the next person.
a) you're right, there are a lot of people out there with bad taste.A generic game in your eyes may be a masterpiece to another(a), so I'm not even going to fight on this subject as it has nothing to do with my game. We all know over 95% of all the games developed on RMXP have not seen the light of day outside of RM forums and a select few who got lucky and have their games well known over the internet. I realize Nintendo won't jump on things, but if you look they are expanding their markets towards adults, thus more mature games are being released along side teen rated games. I'd likely look into a third party company before I jump on Nintendo, I was using them as an example of a publishing company.(b)
they are not either of those. they are flat and inconsistent, and with your shading most of the sprites just look like they were drawn flat on the ground.I personally do like the color choices, they are supposed to be vibrant and semi-saturated.
you are the person who is making the game of course you think they're fine or you wouldn't have put them in a screenshotI think they look fine.
Agree. The shading really needs some work, maybe you should check out rips on how they do it?they are not either of those. they are flat and inconsistent, and with your shading most of the sprites just look like they were drawn flat on the ground.
Epicyou are the person who is making the game of course you think they're fine or you wouldn't have put them in a screenshot
I know this comes off more as an attack than anything else, but really I just want to know you've thought this out and maybe change your plans if you haven't, because right now I don't see any of this happening.маwк":6aygot7s said:a) you're right, there are a lot of people out there with bad taste.A generic game in your eyes may be a masterpiece to another(a), so I'm not even going to fight on this subject as it has nothing to do with my game.

b) did you read my post bro
- what does your game being "mature" (i.e. oh no there are swears) have to do with anything I said?
- you're misunderstanding the concept of an indie game that makes it big. very few indie games really make it into the market, and those that do had either tested around and guaranteed that there was a decent market for their game before pitching it to the companies, or developed a cult following beforehand and consequently a good market (Cave Story.) even the few rm games that do make it big would never be considered by any sane company for a console port. rm* is a niche program with a worldwide reputation for the shitty games it invariably churns out. you have a slim chance of becoming an internet sensation, yeah, but virtually none of getting published unless you take steps to make it look like a money maker (I'm talking "show the prospective publisher that there is a guaranteed market for it.") you've got dreams, yeah, but you don't look like you know too much about making it happen
respect for not actually making this a bullet point in Features. I mean, it's in there, but it's more a supplementary point than anything else so!Every character has their own personal struggle, personality qwarks, and ways of talking. I've sat down for hours to days at a time writing dialogue scripts that improved on the story I spent 4 years developing already.

Few things though. I REALLY like the Cool Rush Cave screenshot. It seems soo original, crisp, clean, and just has a unique touch to it. Also, the ABS looks awesome! I really like the HUD.
If I were you though, I'd look into getting an upgraded version of the Minimap. Seems too 2D and bland for the game itself.
Best of luck getting Nintendo's attention! I know how much time you've put into this, 7 years is a major commitment. :thumb:
