The Screenshot Thread

[mawk]

and my point all along is what content? you've given us an image. no context, nothing but "HEY REIVES IS MAKING A GAME I BET IT'LL BE COOL."

whatever, bro. you're really TRYING not to get what I'm saying and

ok!

now personally I like screenshots they come in many great flavours and are an excellent food for at home or on the go how's about you

Look someone's making a game that's pretty cool. There are people standing on a cliff and doing stuff. The map is the usual RTP snow map, I've seen it too many times so I didn't really focus on that. I suppose tension is building between those people.

Look someone's making a game that's pretty cool. There are people sitting on a log playing and stuff. The map's the usual Reives-styled cluttered map, I've seen it too many times so I didn't really focus on that. I suppose those two are sweethearts and are cuddling.

NO MORE. SCREENSHOTS. NOW. OKAY. THANKS.

 

[mawk]

way to go straight to a vanilla screenshot-hype post and ignore the ones that showcase something unique to their games. that's the point I was making all along -- you can do better than vanilla, man

also yes I don't think this argument is going anywhere so let's just stop bitching at each other and pretending we don't understand.

 

[Reives]

Heheh, just one little problem: You weren't arguing whether or not my screenshot was "vanilla", but arguing that it didn't belong at all in context.
Edit: Wow, that's fast edit dude.

P.S. Gradually going back on-topic:

Bringing attention back to where it should be.

 

[Luminier]

Cool down. Both of you. Seriously. :|

One more and I'm locking this and yes miek i know you can unlock it i'll have a lock war with you if i have to :|

 

[mawk]

no? "basic screenshot with no context given" was a part of it bro, the whole idea was that you're not showing us anything.

and don't go "hehehe"

p.s. wyatt I hope you're actually going to use that platformer thing in something

and before march

p.p.s. lumi I don't plan on continuing it past this point but you can lock it if you really wanna

@Wyatt:
I just remembered; have you played fox's Christmas Santa Mario game? If so, are the mechanics of the jump function in that video the same/feels the same?

Edit:
What the- those top lines up there weren't there when it was first posted. Sure, I'll mirror the "last one from me too" if that's what you're going with:
You were, however, arguing to the extent that it did not belong to the thread - relative vanilla (which is highly arguable, hence a large part of the back-and-forth) or not, it was not a part of the specifications. Frankly, this has pretty much about whether or not there was actual content in the screenshot in question; and somehow to both of our surprises, it appears to be subjective.

Impasse.


P.S.
@Muka below:
Looks pretty pleasant. The symmetry threw me off slightly at first, but there do exist many houses that are that symmetrical in real life. I think it'd be better if the ornaments weren't symmetrical as well though, like the flowers on the tables on either side of the doorway to kitchen.

Seeing as to how we're back on topic after such a wonderful yet fruitless arguement...

RMVX is known for it's cartoony or anime-ish mapping, but how does this one look?

 

[mawk]

this is probably vx itself, but it looks like the tables are standing too far from the walls. if you wanna go realistic they should be hiked up a few pixels so that it looks like it's right up against it, but vx is pretty crazy about this grid stuff so idk.

 

[MukanshinBlack]

Heh, yeah. I should make tables that aren't autotiles. I did that for the carpet there by the floor, because it was the ONLY way that it'd look the way it did. To tell the truth, I didn't even notice how strangly the brown tables are from the wall. Thanks for the insight.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not gonna do anything about it. Least not anytime soon.

 

[SolstICE]

I don't like how the roof looks. sure more realistic with the rooms in the back but,, looks weird. imo. maybe try putting a different roof tile in the middle area parts of it between the outlines?

or maybe even use the tileb shadow tile on all the parts that arent directly room connected

...but what took my attention is the artwork/sprites. Are they original?

Yes, the artwork, sprites, and tilesets are original.

Just to clear up misconceptions, I think he means that they are custom. Not "original characters", since Suika and Marisa are characters from Touhou.

Still, it's preety impressive. ^^
That's a game I would like to play... and I usually don't want to play RPG Maker games. :wink:

SEE YA!!!!!

You would be correct. Though to me, custom and original are pretty much interchangeable in terms of graphics, which is why I don't bother to differentiate.

From my Rockman DASH fangame.

I started this before I knew pretty much anything about scripts, so I tried to get a little creative with the standard battle system.

The game switches back and forth between overhead and sideview. Unfortunately I have no overhead maps finished.

 

[arev]

Damn, this is great. The graphics are a beauty, really, but you surely know that by yourself :]
The characters are begging for more animation frames though. I loved the cutscene, when the monkey showed me a finger :D It was really funny. Good luck on the project.

 

[brainstorm]

you forget to shade the tails on thse p-p-p-p-pigs?!?

On a more serious note, I do like this. I really like how you use a play off of the pointer cursor... but I dislike that it's a fangame. You should really do something original.

Wait... is it original? I can't tell.

I'm really liking this style you've got going on here. I haven't seen anything like this on any rpg maker. How far along are you? Is this playable at all?

Well... Here's a map I've been working on for about two weeks now. >_< This is the fist town that Jian(main character) makes a delivery to. On his way there he gets mugged by some sasquatches and they steal his package. Crazy huh?

As you can see very little detail has been put into this yet... It's taken me awhile to get the water done. It's 16 frames of animation! >_< Isometric just takes SO much longer. :scruff:

 

[Lishy]

Wow, that map looks beautiful. I'm really looking forward to the Lunar DS fangame
