The Screenshot Thread

[Batman]

Hey thanks man! I don't have much yet but, it's getting there Here's more screenshots:

Fully working custom menu:

If anyone wants to help out with this project please let me know! Any help is welcome, it has no storyline or anything :P Its basically brand new...lol

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Just wanting more opinions on the icons in these screens (since hardly anyone says in the actual topic):

 

[Batman]

What are you making this game in, Bats?
It looks like the graphics were done in Flash, to me...
I like it though!
The tile needs work on its...tiling, though!

Actually the tileset is made in Adobe Photoshop along with charactersets and other stuff. I'm making the game in RPG Maker XP! And Strawberrii that looks AWESOME!

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

And about which icons look better...?

 

[Batman]

Probably the second one. Yellow with a white outline doesn't look too great in my opinion :P

 

[LaDestitute]

-snip-

What you're working on looks nice, Gerrtunk. Quite nice, actually...

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Oh my, all of this is really good! I feel sort of like I'm a newbie posting in a professional board, I cant hope to compete, but maybe I can still entertain you all with this trailer. Some of you aren't even using RPG maker, or if you are, it could have fooled me!

I feel like a noob for using VX Ace. :B

Batman, I like that you are making custom graphics, it looks really gritty and down to the grim soil of earth and I really like that. I really enjoy making custom graphics as well, tilesets haunt my dreams though. :[

 

[Batman]

Haha thanks dude...I do this on my spare time down in the Batcave when Gotham doesn't need me, Alfred showed me all I needed to know.

However your trailer was excellent and I can't say anything about VX Ace because I haven't use it...I think most of us still use XP because it's what we're used to haha :P I tried using VX once, didn't like it much so I went to back to XP. But still, you're doing awesome work so keep it up!

The bat is out.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

To be fair, this site was called rmxp.org way back in the day, so the assertion that ya'll are fairly used to XP isn't all that uncommon.

Thanks for the feedback too, I've gotta sleep now but I'll just leave this here, Item tooltips, woo!

@Batman: Nice art style. Work on the vertical tiling on the cobblestones. The outline on the character sprite is thinner than the rest of the style, but it should be consistent. Maybe add some shading. You've got great atmosphere.

@Strawberrill: I think the single icon colour looks better but the yellow/white is pixellated and the outlines don't look good. Do you have photoshop? I know how to give instructions for Photoshop and what I'd do is put all the icons in one file and do Hue/Saturation, Colorize, change hue to yellow, then maybe mess around with brightness/contrast and layer blending options > outer glow/inner glow for outlines.

I have just too many of these silly vids, here's one displaying the alchemy system.

People think that one looks good, and that the colored ones look good. D=

No, I don't have photoshop, and I don't plan on getting it either.

It's pixellated because it's a pixeled icon?

 

[BizarreMonkey]

I've found that generally things like pixelated icon outlines most fellas don't even notice, What jumps out at me is the font, actually. I'm not sure its probably just personal preference but I see the font used in the item windows and it gives me vivid imagery of killing things.

There's probably nothing wrong with it, it just seems jarring to me. :I

Also, another vid, much shorter this time, this is the skippable splash screen pre-title.

Enjoy. :3

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

I don't care about the font, as we haven't even decided on what to use anyway.

I care more about the icons right now so I have something to do.

 

[Xilef]

Did you try it with the style I suggested? High colour with white comic outline?

 

[StrawberrySmiles]

Right now, it's half and half on whether people like one or the other, so I haven't tried yet, lols.

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Well shucks, I can't help much with the icons thing, since I don't have a very good pixel eye and in general it isn't a thing typical fellows notice, if it makes you feel better my icon looks like rainbow barf scattered all over.

Anyway, I brought this.

It's from my VX Game, Intelligence, and is currently all I really have to show for Act 3 (Patch 1.2), but shown within is the power events can have even in a limited engine like VX.

 

[Toams]

Yo bizarre monkey, your stuff has a nice flow to it, it doesn't bore, even though that's a hard thing to do with rmxp, good job on that!

 

[BizarreMonkey]

Hehe, thanks. It isn't RMXP though!

Its RMVX and RMVX Ace, I've opened my copy of XP probably once, but I'll take the compliment instead of being an asshat about which engine I'm using.

For once it seems I'm fresh out of thing... oh wait.

Literally just made a new title screen for Menagerie.

All by me and a few small tricks in photoshop, the only thing I can't take credit for is the Font, but that's fine.

 

[Toams]

you are taking the zodiac literally?
