@Skie Fortress: While your screens are very nice looking I'm not feeling the use of the default White Ties Sprite. I believe an edit or a complete redo altogether would be best. And the menu screen I don't really like the colors is all. It looks nice [[kinda empty]] but the colors are blah :p

Heh, don't worry about it, I'm not going to attack you for providing valid criticism. Allow me to address your 'worries' though'

- I'm not using the original White Ties characters, those are placeholders. You see the mockup down there? Those are obviously the final characters, so you can breathe a sigh of relief. Heh.

- The color scheme I've chosen for the game is a sort of wild west faded yellow/brown. I like the look of it, but would you have a better color suggestion?

Anyways, thanks for pointing it all out.

OH HAY hes back.

Guys I'm thinking its a bit too dark. Is it?

 

[Despain]

it's more than too dark

it is too too dark and the blue hurts my eyes

seriously it seems like every other fucking screen in this thread is disgustingly dark. Chill out on the screen tones people. You really don't need them at all.

@Elias
I don't really like the blue. Not really too dark, but the blue kinda ruins it =(

I don't like the magma lighting there. Managed to mess it up somehow

 

[Rare]

Okay I'll fix that! Thanks guys!

@Des

I do need the screen tones D=...if I don't have them the lighting doesn't work in the house.

then you suck at editing chipsets

 

[Kicks]

@Kicks: As usual I'm impressed with your screen. Not much I can really say on it except lose the backdrop. I think it really clashes with your sprites and its always kinda bothered me.

You're tellin' me... I've been painstakingly working on a single battle background, but everything I make is garbage. Guess I just have to keep grinding 'til I get better.

then you suck at editing chipsets

And you suck at criticism... I don't think that helped anybody in any fashion.

@all dark screenshots:
I too find it funny how there are a lot of them. In their defense, however, a few weeks ago i was working on a painting in photoshop and the guy's suit was a really dark brown and I just had to stop because it hurt my eyes too much. The next day I was showing it to my girlfriend on her computer and the suit displayed very nicely with much more contrast and all the flaws and rushed-ness of it became very apparent. The reason for this was her monitor. Not much else was brighter or more contrasty or anything... i think different monitors display things differently.

fuck editing tilesets. why waste my time using photoshop when rmxp provides a feature that helps you?

That's because every other screen is from malick. :D

Is that better? D=

 

[Malachi]

@Plaid:
......I've seen darker screenshots!

 

[Skyla Doragono]

I believe your last one took the cake, Malick.

And Elias, that looks much better.

 

[Malachi]

They aren't dark at all! They're not light, but not overly dark.

From my game...Angel of Death...what do guys think?

WeaponOD-
CAVE- Near the ladder there is a corner with the ground which is not how it's supposed to be. The lily pads are supposed to be on water. Overall it's ok, bit empty though. Try a fog.

FOREST- Picture instead.

[WeaponOD]

Oh yeah the tree's....whoops. With the mushrooms and the plant on top of the tree I did that on purpose, because things always grow on or closely to tree's.

Oh and with the cave i'll try and make it look better, thanks for the analysis. :thumb:

@WeaponOD: The second one's nice, but the first one is a little too purple for night time. I think someone somewhere put up a good screentone setting for night somewhere... I don't know where though. Might wanna try the mapping academy threads or the mapping improvement thread.

Malick, they might be too dark for you, but you should really consider other people's monitors. Instead of debating shit like this, accept the truth (they are way too dark, and I have bright monitors) and change it. It might be fine for you, but you made them on your monitor AND you already know what's going on under the screen tint, so you're at an advantage. If you want anybody to play your games other than yourself, then listen to the shit people say.
