The Screenshot Thread

[Ellie]

Everyone's really pushing the boundaries of RMXP now. Every day a better game seems to come out that's competely different to any other RMXP game

Looks awesome, mega. You should make it isometric or something like, such as in the game... that guy is making. (I'm not gonna attempt to pronounce his name as I know it'll be wrong Begins with an A and has papo on the end.) That way it'll be completely different to the RMXP cliche.

cheers guys. yea , i`m making thise graphix by myself. there will be 8 directional movement in game.

Prexus how do you make your maps this good in opacity?

I can barely make them dark and i can't find a tutorial on this site about opacity.

I use Cosmetic Fogs.. Essentially just a picture or fog that overlays the map that I made in Photoshop to emulate lighting effects. It's only for the one area, and it's supposed to be really dark. Most people don't like how dark it is, though.

megatronx - Despite how cool that screenshot is, there's something about it that's making me cringe.

I don't know where to put my finger, though. I was looking mainly around the hill area on the left, and the tree before it. Something about the two make the screenshot a bit skewed.

I personally don't think that it's made in XP...though don't get me wrong it looks good, but it just doesn't sit well with me that's all....

You can... I'm using pre-rendered maps in one of my projects and although it's a #$%&! to make all the maps and import them as tilesets, it's very much worth it in the end.

Ok thanks prexus i'll try that way you could make another picture to make it sort of light for the darker places

 

[Reives]

@Reaper: There are two cosmetic lighting tutorial in the tut forum section I think. One by Calibre and another by fooflex (sp?).

Just thought this looked like some sort of cheesy CD cover, heh:

a small project i started a few days ago. it has a active battle system, and the mood is like a castlevania game.
PD: I have yet to change the HUD a bit though.

 

[Munkk]

That looks pretty cool cray.

Ya know, Making chars in the syle, (to my imagination) seems easy. but I was wondering. Are the graphics seperated by tile and made into a tileset or are you making each area and putting it in a tileset. This seems like a hard task either way. Especially with the awesome texturing your putting into.

 

[megatronx]

thx for all opinions

Right now i`m keeping an idea of panoramas. thats why i don`t have to cut everything in to parts. there is view things on a tillset. there also will be light and shadow efect made using fog. i`m trying to keep it nice looking even if there might be some bug elements misseed by me. it`s becous all panoramas r verry large.

 

[Makasu]

Is it just me or are some of these people just wasting their time making games on rmxp? With talent like megatronx and some of the others I mean it'd be best to just head for a big name company. :/ I'm just saying, thats how good the stuff is. But either way great screens peoples! I'm impressed.

@Craybest: I really like what I see. I just think you should put in some bars behind the "HP" and "SP" and maybe ditch the RTP icons for something more flashy. Just a thought but great screen none the less. And also why is that tree on fire? Just curious and if it is, you should also think about putting some dynamic lighting in on there as well.

Yes Reives there are two tutorials but one of them doesn't show pictures of the fog's and the other one i don't have any program that somewhat like photoshop i only have paint.

 

[craybest]

thanx for the comments, as I said, I'll try to change the HUD, so far it's just the one that came with the script I'm using. I'll try to get some HP/SP bars, it looks better than numbers IMO. maybe I'll make new icons, although it depends on the amount of effort I put into this (I'm trying to just edit graphics instead of making them) that way I'll be sure to actually finish this one, I tend to make games with custom graphics and music, but it takes too long to make a game like that alone, so I'm sticking with edited RTP and frankenspriting for this project.
the tree on fire is part of the environement interaction (in that stage, at some points lightning hit some trees, and set them on fire, and if you came to close to them you take damage)

 

[Calibre]

Yes Reives there are two tutorials but one of them doesn't show pictures of the fog's and the other one i don't have any program that somewhat like photoshop i only have paint.

Download GIMP then, it is pretty much like a simple version of photoshop and free to use.

 

[Xathia Vastar]

Megatronx: best screen ever...

 

[Reaper*]

I'll try gimp thanks for the help Calibre

Do you have a link for it so i can simply download it?

I think i found it is it http://www.gimp.org the site?
