The Screenshot Thread

[Diegoale2000]

Finally got a Screen Recorder that works with RMXP.
SO here's a VERY, VERY laggy video of Dreams :D

[Lust Dragon]

Laggy indeed but those really nice Diedoale2000. Hope you can show us the battle system :D

 

[Ellie]

Wow, that's great Diego! (A very unique way of showing a screenshot too )

 

[Adrenaline Rush]

That shit is freakin' awesome :Y

 

[Arcanum]

I've gotta say, Diego, that is awesome. Who's your artist?

And aside from the beautiful artwork, I'm curious what kind of story Dreams has in store... care to divulge a little, or is it a secret for now?

 

[Delmaschio]

Wow, Diego that is fucking awesome!!!
I can't wait to see more of it!

 

[arev]

Nice enough, Diegoale. Use a multicore processor next time :D

 

[Sicarus]

Of what think you of this temple?

In passing, that think you of my interface in the left high corner?
(It is not adapted has a keyboard QWERTY, but of which think you of the idea?)
And my CMS when you push on "Shift"(already in the left high corner)

Diego's picture reminds me a bit of the graphics from Tales of Legendia =)

 

[Delmaschio]

Sicarus, your screen is really nice, is this tileset custom?
Who sprited it?

 

[Sicarus]

This tileset is custom but I am not the author (I have the agreement of the creator)

 

[ccoa]

The perspective on the circles on that tileset are off. The RTP has a top-down perspective, so they'd be more oval. Like the circles in the cobblestones or the bricks around the tree here:

[craybest]

actually I think they're right, rpg's havwe always used a pretty fucked up perspective in my opinion, but if circles should look like ovals, then the squares of the ground should look liks rectangles, which isn't the case.
As far as I know,in most 2d rpg's (at least the old ones) the perspective shows horizontal stuff AND vertical stuff without distorting them, wich is pretty flawed as a concept, but we're used to it by now.... In some cases like the circle of stones around the trees, the ovals look okay, but in larger stuff, like those magic circles, which have under them a grid made bu square pieces. It would look odd to have an oval against a perfect square, it would make the circles look distorted...

@ Sicarus: ooo.... i could have swore ive seen that tileset somewhere >_< uhg. now im going to be racking my brain, anyways, its cute, good job.

i dont really think the persepctive thing matters, it doesnt look bad, and you dont get the feeling that you have 2 perspectives. well, at least i dont.

 

[Calibre]

I cant help thinking all those symbols need to be a little transparent so the tiling eblow shows through. At the moment it looks like a sticker stuck to the floor or something.

Diego, that does look very nice like that, sprites looks clear too. Wondering how much you actually have made of it now working like that?

 

[arcthemonkey]

craybest is right. The circles are square with the floor-tiles, so if anything is messed up, it's the floor-tiles.

Sicarus ?! What a surpriiiiiiiise^^

Ccoa : in fact you're right with intuitive perspective sense BUT the main wiewpoint used for graphic resources of RMXP is something like an false isometric front wiew(Huh ?! can I say that ??!). I tested it with Sketchup (an architectural log that allows you to build what you want in 3D) and when isometric wiew is used like RM, a circle stay a circle, everything is warped and far object seems to be gigantic...

I am the creator of this resource and those circles are supposed to be animated (they are in final version^^), so with an oval... hum...

Oh I forgot... here is a screenie with the final version of this resource. All effects are now implemented directly in the chipset, so if I want to place a flare around a lightsource, no need to use any event.

The animated stuff is visible on the low corners (golden things). And as they move, the whole place is affected...

I think you need to look at your software a bit more, as that assumption is rather wrong. No matter where, if you don't look at an object that's right below you, it'll be deshaped. Of course, you could pretend that the shapes originally are oval, and turn into circles with the perspective turned on

 

[benben]

Maybe I forgot to say that a circle is not warped when I turn the perspective off. Of course it becomes oval when wiewpoint change with activated perspective. But as it is said, the pattern of a RM tileset is squared... everything lies there^^ (but is it really a problem ?! I don't think so^^)

 

[Prexus]

The perspective that RMXP uses can't be replicated in 3D.

Surfaces, parallel to the playing field, are at an Eagle Eye View. That is, you are looking at them from 60' up from the ground, not a Top Down View (straight down.)

However, walls and objects are seen from a face-on view. They aren't seen from any angle.
