The Screenshot Thread

[Xilef]

@Xilef: I think the characters are moving slightly to the right after each attack. You might want to fix that.
Also, because there are no animations the movement looks very mechanic...

I need an animator/spriter D:
I'll fix the jerking back into position, the reason that happens is because of some old prediction code.#

EDIT:
Here's the bug fixed with a lot of new things thrown in

Numbers to indicate health, file-loaded player data, working defence recovery, different temp graphic for test enemy, removed debug data, smoothed animations, fixed prediction bugs, repaired the initialisation process

Looking better with each update!


I'm converting some Mack VX tiles to XP, and.. it is a pain

 

[regi]

Hey, not bad! Some of the tiles still have the clunky square VX feel (mostly autotiles) but everything else is very nice.

@xelif
Looks like its coming along good. Are you coding that in XNA? or is that some hybrid ruby junk?

@action
That looks pretty good. Obviously from VX though as regi had mentioned. But a little more editing should clean that right up. Looking great.

Replicating Pokemon's Secret Base. It has functionality but it won't be done for a few more days.

Its in pure C++ with the allegro game library, a library that gives drawing primatives and sound mixers as well as some timer and gpu access

@game_guy: that's awesome! Can you still interact with the objects you place? (i.e. place a bed that you can sleep in)

another from me, pretty much the same thing but with updated graphics

 

[game_guy]

@Dr. Funk: When customizing the script you have to setup each object thats placeable, what I'm planning is that you'll be able to use commands from another event for an object. The configuration will look kind of like this for one object.

Object[item_id] = [character_file, character_hue, terrain, anywhere, direction, pattern, map_id, event_id]

The last 2, map_id and event_id don't need to be set. It'll check if the values exist and go from there. It'll be a little bit of work to configure some placeable objects but it'll be cool to be able to have a feature like this in a game. By the way, I love that screenshot. The graphics are awesome. :D

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I agree, those graphics ARE awesome, Dr. Funk.

Here is the skill menu for my game; to get the ball rolling here again. ^^

 

[LegacyCrono]

@Strawberry: Nice! Reminds me of "Tales of..."
The only problem is that the life and mana bars are misaligned. That sword icon could use some shading on the blade too... Also, is it supposed to be spelled "Abitlites"? :P

@Dr. Funk: Wow, that's pretty great! But the lampposts are on the road? o_O

 

[The Law G14]

@Strawberry: Very nice! I like the graphics you used for the background

@Dr.Funk: I like the custom graphics, they're very original and it looks put together real well!


Here are some screens from the only accessible town in my game:

Shop:

Spoiler

Restaurant:

Spoiler

Town:

I realize there might some problems in the next map. I'm still not to comfortable with it, I feel there's a lot of negative (or useless) space that I need to get rid of to make it have a better "crowded town" feel.

Spoiler

 

[regi]

TheScripter, you should head on over to the Mapping Workshop :thumb: The plainest problem here is cutting down on empty space, which said workshop should easily fix. As for the city, apart from making the walking paths smaller, fill it up with NPCs! Not all need to be interactive, but humans and animals who seem to have a purpose (e.g. walking from home to store) make these places all the more livelier.

 

[The Law G14]

@Regi: Thanks! However, I already have a lot of NPCs in there (like over 30) I just forgot to include them in the screenshot :/ And yea, I'll head over there, thanks for the suggestion

@shiwt

Those recolours are beautiful looking. What tileset is that?

 

[MarioSuperStar]

@shiwt: Just curious, but why are there boxes in middle of nowhere? :/ It looks unnatural to me. Other than that, everything else looks great.

I hope it's game-play reasons

It was heavily based on Tales of series, that's probably why. Also, I told my fiance, Star, about what you said with Life and Mana, but he said he did it on purpose and won't change it. I changed the menu some and the icons. As well as "Abitlites" to Abilities. :D

 

[Jason]

I really like the colour change to the green, and the new icons look a lot better too. I also see you've corrected the spelling mistake :thumb:

\(^_^) Hi! I got bored and decided to play around with some graphics. So here's a screenshot from me. o.o Not sure about the one window on the top with the shutter slightly open. .... The rest of them look pretty good to me, but that one, not sure about. Anyway, I know the left side is a bit open, but I haven't found the right trees to go there, or what to put there. I imagine this is a ranch, and I... don't or haven't EVER visited a ranch. @_@ no clue what to add, besides chicken houses and such. There IS an error on the house, but I need another graphic to go there, and haven't finished it YET!
