I hope you know that in Norse Mythology, Ragnarok was the event that heralded in the death of the gods. It's not some RO exclusive term or something.
Samurai Ragnarok

Yes, I know its a mythological term implying climatic battle between good and evil. However, my point is its an obvious name rip off. Its like saying. Samurai final fantasy, because the original is just called ragnarok not... something ragnarok. So you're wrong. Well it's my opinion on the matter, no need to get hiped up. Plus I see no huge climatic good v evil in the storyline either, thats just the general definition, the real definition is this: Ragnarok ("Doom of the Gods") is also called Gotterdammerung, which means the end of the cosmos in Norse mythology, and I dont see that I'm sure. Plus samurai ragnarok technically makes no sense.

Hah, well in the end, it's his game and he'll call it what he wants to. That's pretty much the final word. We can 'complain' all we want, nothing'll change unless the creator wants it to.
The game looks sweet so far, the newer battle system looks excellent. And to availer unless it was Samurai Ragnarok Online I don't see how the name Ragnarok should always correlate with Ragnarok Online. I mean I'm sure their are games out there called X Fantasy or Final X however that doesn't mean that they have anything to do with Final Fantasy.
Anyway keep up the good work, and one other thing, maybe you should bold the font (on http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/ ... late-1.jpg)because the text is hard to see.

Great game, i remember posting in the threads at rmxpu and CA. ^_^ The sprite work is great always and the art style still catches my eye ^_^ keep it up.
The battle system screenshot with the 71 chain text on it is awesome. Hopefully, you do resume with that one. What were the arrows for in the top right corner? move select?
@availer: seriously, ive seen you in three project threads now basically slagging off their art or in this case the name of the game. Does it even matter about the game name? RO doesnt own the word ragnarok. you're reasons are pathetic tbh. Your game's name isnt exactly unique as its already been used for a game.

Slagging off? I'm basicly trying to improve their games. It's not going to be beneficial if I just say, Cool, looking good. Infact, I'ld rather them do well, and I'ld see to this kind of critisizm if I got it as a sort of blessing. And besides, they are my opinions and my thoughts, slagging off is worse when it comes to critisizing peoples opinions. Furthermore, I haven't yet seen a game called Haven.
Heh... well i don't know if i've ever posted this here before.. but the story is kind of vague at this point because i don't want to spoil to much of the experience in the game. I'm working on a description for the game that will be in the manual as well (Manual being HTML ^_^)... But Ragnarok in the definition i've seen is Twilight of the Gods . So essentially... Samurai Ragnarok is a Japan-esque twilight of the gods... it may not seem like much now... but i'm still working on myths and legends to bring to the world. I presume the next thing to work on is more graphics and finalize certain items about our menu...
We currently are under the debate on which battle system to use... but we will use both, just only one of them will be appearing in samurai Ragnarok... I apologize about the confusion about the Samurai Ragnarok name, also i'm looking into re-defining the title art (cause i actually don't like it all that much actually, feel i can do better... ^_^)...
@Availer - thank you for the helpful critiques, and i have taken them into consideration. however, this game has nothing to do with Ragnarok Online... nor was the game title though of with the mere idea of RO... but i do thank you for the advice...
@Dasparov - We actually are abandoning that menu skin, and looking towards the new streamlined menu skin below it...
Thank you for everyone supporting us, it's been hard for me to keep in full contact with my team from time to time... but we are still working on this game... i'm still looking for spriters if anyone is interested... *looks around*... don't be afraid...

Beautiful work 
Ok... so i've been on a bit of a break as of late... but ive decided to post this early... it's unfinished... but has 3 key animations and the one i'm working on now... The battle system will use 6 frames of animation for each line in an attempt to make the sprites look more fluid in the battle system...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/ ... telina.gif[/img]
1.) Ready Stance
2.) Item Usage (completely turns and checks into pouch that player cannot see..)
3.) Attack Evasion (She does what is now known as the "replacement technique"... fitting for a ninja)
4.) Struck (Basic animation for when Katelina gets struck by a weapon... this is the non-critical version) *not done*
These sprites are 100% custom built from scratch and have alot of time and care put into them... please don't take my hard work...... and also, Please Leave Crits and Critiques... i need them to improve... no excuses...

power. Otherwise, the art is good and gives it a Unique artistic appeal. Sprites and battle system look promising.
This is Sasuke...

Tansred:
what sucks is... Hyotachi has had this new outfit of his since 2006. But since i am a meager artist with no name... i cannot claim that as such... hopefully through character development, will Hyotachi be differenr...
TokyoKenshin:
Your deduction is correct... this battle system is very close to Valkyrie Profile...

The game looks great, I was just wondering with the tile sets. Just how they should be made, I know you want them cel-shaded but the proportions, locations and other details would be great. I know you wanted people too PM you however I don't think I could be a reliable source too continually create tile sets but would love to attempt to create a few.
i have a few... the are typical rpt sized...
but the main one is a japanese-esque slum town... outdoors and indoors...
outdoors to have bridges... lantern posts... signs and planks... sliding doors... dirt roads... and then dirt roads with stones embedded...
indoor.. knapsacks, um... sandals... scroll holders... that's all i can think of.....?
