Awesome Bro

Reaper that fog isn't doing that map any favours. The tint is a little too bright stale :(

Try making it a little bolder and see how it looks :)
 
Just as long as it isn't like freakin' Golden Sun. "Oh, awesome, I can transfer all my data over to the next game! Hmm... well, Gold-level transfers everything so-- oh, what the fuck, SIX PAGES OF GIBBERISH?!"
 
You know, reives, I've gotta say...

I think that your lighting effects look bad :(

It just makes the scene so illogically gloomy. I mean, seriously, three open windows AND candles and it's still just plain gloomy in such a small room?

Honestly, I find it hard to believe that the room would be that dark even if the windows were closed and the three candles were the only light source.

Edit: You know, now that I think about it, my bedroom has only 2 windows, is on the east side of the house in the late evening (hint - no direct sunlight) there are no lights on and my blinds are closed. It's brighter in here than it is in that screenshot :(

Now, as y'all can see, I've gone back to A Wayward Dream.

And, Malick, can you stop stealing from Nadir's Canon if that is what you are doing? Cause, you know, those couches (from this screen: http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9407/atnighttg3.png ), they aren't really released to the public, and unless you have some ungodly ability to copy tiles, you probably ripped them from Nadir's Canon or even MV. I already know Euphony has been asking you to stop using his tiles. So, please, STOP USING THEM if they are indeed ripped. And if they aren't, mind showing me some WIPs? Cause, I really don't believe they aren't ripped. I mean, your game already looks like a rip-off from Nadir's Canon since you are using the old sprites. Don't you have your own you know, ideas?

So please, if you are ripping them, stop. If you aren't, can you show Euphony and I some WIPs so we can stop thinking you're ripping some tiles? I mean, it's really mean, since you know, they aren't released for a reason. I know, makes us sound snooty, high and mighty? But, come oooonnn.

Just tell me if you are or not. Cause your game would be much better if you had some originality rather than leaning on NC so much.

Heheh, I actually do see what you mean, and have thought about that. I guess I had the "room with some visible rays shooting through the window and a mysterious guy standing with his back turned" from the movies in mind. :p

In fact, I very much agree with it, which caused me to change my interior fogging styles about a month ago. The new style might be bad in other aspect, but it's easy to do and much brighter, but its main difference is more subtle I believe, as reminded by ccoa. :> Here're two samples from the Aeria city demo:

I think they're better in the lightness aspect. There are a few wrongs with the two screenshots ^ that I can think of right now, but I'm valuing a mix of time consumption and relative quality at the moment. Any suggestions/feedback welcomed, but I'll probably just keep them in mind for future works. :) Thanks in advance.

(Speaking of which, I do have to go back and fix the old ones sometimes... Part of the reasons why I asked for the screenshots to not be commented was the not-so-proud fogs back then, heheh. But I still felt that it was better than no fog for supporting the point back then. Let's just drop that one though. ._.)
 
Rye: Me and Euphony have already discussed the character situation, so you can stop bringing that up! I have my own ideas I'm only using his fucking charsets for a small part of the game! STICK YOUR FUCKING NOSE OUT OF IT!

And yeah I do draw my inspiration for my tilesets from NC and so what!? You're not one to be talking. MV's is very similar to NC's also!

@Reives:
They look really good. I like your choice of vibrant colours ^_^

Man, sorry Malick if I don't steal from Euphony. Sorry if you stealing from him is wrong, and stop being a dick head. I do art for Euphony to use his stuff, and at least my characters don't fucking look like his. Grow up and make your own stuff, it will look a lot better than ripping from Nadir's Canon. And fucking sorry if I was doing Euphony a favor for doing this. He ASKED me to confront you since you are so dense and not listening to him. ORIGINALITY is your friend. I don't fucking care if MV is ripping from him too, but at least I EARN it. What do you do? Rip his charasets and tiles? And color scheme? Real big man aren't you?

And if you want to yell at me further, please do so by PM.
 
Ok I ripped the bloody couches! It's not like you didn't know that already! Everything else is recoloured or made by me except the clothing which Alania wears at THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. Euphony has already allowed me to keep Ferns clothing for the intro and some parts afterwards.

I have my own ideas, I've made Alania new clothing for AFTER the intro. I know ripping the couches was "Wrong" I liked the way they looked so I took them. Sure it means I have little to no morals but that's really my problem isn't it? And again, I've made several sprites for AWD. Apart from the tileset inspirations and the use of Ferns clothing A Wayward Dream is NOTHING and I repeat NOTHING like Nadirs Canon.

Yikes..that was a little immature :( I think Rye put it pretty nicely...no need for cussin and yelling and stuff... Sheesh. I actually think Rye has a good point assuming they are ripped... I've had my stuff ripped right out of my screenshot posts countless times so I know the feeling..

Anyways..the screen is dark I can't see much.

Edit://

So you admitted it...yay.

But wow you're a lil cocky eh.. *sigh* Oh well.

You didn't ask to rip the fucking couches. And it isn't about that, it's about you not being able to make a damn atmosphere of your own for your own game. What do I see when I look at your game? A big fat horrible rip-off from Nadir's Canon, graphic wise, not story wise. SO GET AWAY from Nadir's Canon, it'll do you a world of good to make your own damn game instead of relying on Nadir's Canon.
 
Now forgive me if I'm wrong, but does that count as flaming? I respect that you confronted me for Euphony. However, he seems to have underestimated me. If he wanted to discuss the couches, he should have just talk to me himself I wouldn't just simply ignore him. I would try and make a comprise like we did with the sprite issue.

And you do know that every time you add a smart comment at the end your post you're only worsening the situation.
