The Screenshot Thread

@Munkk: You need to move those stairs down man. It doesn't really make it look like an elevated platform. But more of stairs put on a wall y'know? Or just different colored tiles. I'm not to sure of which. Hahahaha either way not bad looking and the things on the wall look like some sort of alien. Not to sure if you were going for that look or something.

@Draken: Not bad, but a tad bit dark. Had to squint a little just to see the trees. But I'm interested in seeing how you're going to do that. All in all though not bad.

 

[badmonur]

also, maybe try having more than one down pose?

@Draken

Maybe it's just my eyes, but I didn't realize there were any trees until I read Makasu's post O.o So please reconsider the brightness (or lack thereof...).

Spoiler: First Screeny for my new game

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c284/arctrooper48/screeny.png[/IMG]

First screenshot of my new game (along with the assistance of Envelope).
Still working on the panorama and tileset, so more (and detailed) screenshots will arrive soon!

The battlesystem is all events too, and the enemy bounce around and attack.

 

[Makasu]

I actually like that Arc. I love the art style and the sprites look amazing. My only complaint would have to be the red boxes at the top. Need a HUD there man. But other than that it looks ace.

Little vid of my game. It shows off one character, Lynn's, skill Zantetsuken. When her Bounty rating is higher than the enemy's, she can slay them instantly. You can also see my collapse script where the enemy sprite is disposed like zantetsuken and other abilities from final fantasy (like odin, yojimbo, scimitar, etc...).
The quality is crappy because i'm still looking for a good way to capture but wanted something out there. Expect more within the next few hours and days.

EDIT
Another! The game slows down a lot during Sandstorm, but in the actual game it's minimal--its because of the video capture program.

Anudda!
This one's a lot longer, but shows off a lot too.

@Kicks
I think you should work more on the user interface. The system, on the other hand, is really really interesting! Once the game's done, I'm sure it'd require players to think in order to win the game

It's been a long time since I've opened RPG Maker, so I thought I'd practice mapping for a change, and here's the result.

I think it needs some kind of improvement, but I can't put my finger on it...

 

[HarryE]

You can't have an open map, but a non-existent roof.

And where is the water coming from?

 

[Freyr]

It's coming from the sky, duh.

 

[HarryE]

It's coming from the sky, duh.

Does water generally fall like that from the sky? Is there areason for it in your game, after all, there were waterfalls like that at the end of Zelda: Wind Waker.

Here are two screens of my project.

The language is German.
Beginne das Abenteuer means start adventure, Setze dein Abenteuer fort means continue adventuer and Verlasse Kargath means Leave Kargath.(Kargath ist the land, the game plays in)

And here ist a screen of the intro:

I hope you like the screens!

There is no particular reason for it, I just like the idea of water pouring from the skies like waterfalls. And it looks pretty good, might I say so myself.

@xsebi: Looking pretty good there. Your title screen is awesome, and the world map screen isn't bad either. I could suggest you to change the screen tone to make it look more "chaotic", since the town's burning and all.

 

[Draken]

The waterfall would look better if it were transparent, if you look carefully, you can see the cliff wall behind it, as it is intended for that cliff wall :>

Edit:
Considering Makasu's and Hevendor's comments, I don't see the problem myself. It looks fine for me, and I can see the trees quite clearly.

 

[Freyr]

Ok, here's a fixed version.

[Draken]

Much better! Your mapping is fantastic

 

[Hevendor]

Eh, maybe it's just me, but I really really liked the atmosphere of the first screenshot. Even with the non-existent roof... Great mapping though.

 

[HarryE]

You've forgotten to tint it.

I don't think the waterfall is a good idea. Don't take it personally, but it just seems so illogical to have great streams of water coming from the sky.

 

[sandgolem]

Freyr, I love your screenshots. Very original/interesting feel to them. The waterfalls look gorgeous, don't listen to the haters. It's fantasy after all not real life - use your imaginations people.

Whoever posted the youtube videos, you've got nice cursor sound effects. But umm don't market showing off 0 damage skills & battlers flying in the air.

 

[Nickster]

@ Freyr: love the waterfalls <3
