I knew that. :P *whistles*

I actually have an oval rug, but I liked a square one better in the room so I made it an autotile. xD I'll remove the top and bottom tile of the rug, though, so it looks more natural. Thank you. ^_^
 
Twin I really like everything about that shot. Really catches my eye. I seemed to quickly notice there is a bible near the pot. Hehe...ahhh the wonders of saving time by reading while...well you know. =D
 
Damn... a lot of work went into this. The battle background, as well as the battlers, all took quite a while to make. Not so long as to be a bad idea, but quite long nonetheless. Anyway, tell me what you think:

And this is the tileset I'm working on to go with the battle background:

Of course, after all of this, I'm still nowhere near having a demo of a substantial length... that's the problem with original graphics. It takes a damn long time to make a significant amount for a game, especially with a one person team.

Those screens look great, Arcanum! I really like the character battler in the first screen, as well as the background. The snakes look good, too, though I'm weirded out by that random black triangle on the one on the right. Is that the game cursor?

As far as the tileset goes, it looks fantastic as well. Very detailed in terms of textures (those walls look great!). I'm also digging the stalactites on the ceiling. I can't say I've ever seen anything like that on a tileset before. Nice touch. My only concern is in regards to the cavern walls. Will you be adding floor shadows for them later on? Right now they're lookin' a bit floaty to me. :P
 
Hey Arca, glad to see you're still working on that game of yours. It's the game with those bodies/entities, right? I remember one of the first was this blue gollem looking monster.

The battle background looks great. The snakes and Arcanum look a bit too simple, though. Unless it's the style you're going for, I'd add a few stripes here and there, even if it's without new coloring. Maybe some on the snakes for when the skin folds, or add some random dots. I like Arcanum's face, but the legs could be a bit better. Maybe it's because he's wearing (awful xD) short pants, but it looks like he doesn't have any hips. :P

The tileset, on the other hand, is superb, imo. I love the way you made the little rock 'bridge' on the ceiling, below which the player can walk. Does that mean the outer cave wall isn't an autotile? Or did you place the rock 'bridge' on a layer above it, and add black with it to cover up the autotile on both sides? By the way, it would look good, imo, if you added some stalactites (the little V pointing rocks hanging from the ceiling) and made an outer cave wall border around them, to show that they're actually hanging from the ceiling. Just a thought. ^_^ My only complaints are the main floor texture and the sand at the bottom. What is that at the bottom anyway? It's colored as sand, but the sand is so clumped together it looks more like rock. As for the floor texture, there are a few stones in the middle of each tile which are highlighted (I believe there are 4-5, in a reversed C). This makes for a rather odd pattern. Perhaps it would be better to leave the highlight out or give it to all rocks. I always find it a bit annoying to see the same pattern of something that stands out in each tile. :P

Looking good Arcanum. I've watched your style grow, and it's starting to look very good. I like everything sides' the the cave battle back... It looks like your fighting in a poop cave. Some more texture should fix that though. ;)
 
I have no idea if this goes here, as this is a layout to my battles rather than a map. But, it is a screenshot, so I guess it should go here. Anyway, what do you think of it:

The Beginning of Battle

Attack, Skill, Magic, and Item. Notice how the skill/item/magic selection replaces the action selection.

Change your weapon in battle! An edit of DerVVulfman's Script. (Still need to do some edits, though)

Battle Result! Again, the action selection is replaced.

Also, please realize almost every graphic (Including the green/blue background for battle) is a placeholder.
 
Well, I don?t know how this forum "works" but Lettuce told me that I needed to advertice my game in this topic with screens.

Does the academy looks nice? I think it looks really bad :S
 
Arcanum: Awesome man, the battle back and of course the battler are really nice! I can't help but notice the word health is all smushed though :)

Sapphire..very interesting..nice stuff..although mixing of art styles sorta stands out weird a little bit.
 
Sapphire, it's 'gesamt', not 'gesammt' :p Other than that, the forest looks really good, with the couple of different trees in there... just the bright tree stands out (the one that's directly above the dog, as well as the others of that kind).

And like every other non-English game makin' guy, I'll point to my Multiple Language script... share with the community! ^^
 
im confuse, there are 2 sapphires... (Call me Sapphire_pt pls)
who gave opinions about my maps?
btw, i was sapphire in the counter strike games so i keep it in here too.
