The Screenshot Thread

[Tindy]

@KieraP: Well, word to the wise (if you're happy with it, ignore me ^_^; ) - It'd be Akyo-su (no double vowels, use a dash) - and if you want it to sound more like Aqua'os, it'd be Akya-osu, or even Akwa-osu if you wanna use weird radicals. (Ignore me, I've been taking Japanese for way too long. XD)

 

[SakuraPhoenix]

Naw I won't ignore you. ^^ Much to my obasans chagrin I've not paid any attention to proper japanese grammar (or to it as a whole, Just KNOW that statement gave her a small heartattack) so I lack greatly in that area -_-;

 

[Jstreet]

What's up with that little water puddle? Is that an autotile or jsut a loose piece of tileset? You've used it in all of your tilesets.

@kiearaphoenix: It looks amazing! I love the palace in the second screenshot. It has a sort of magical feel about it.
@durdadan: Well, he did get a sunburn (*cry*), so he went to the snowplains to heal:

Here a renovated status screen experiment for my game.

Basically needed to make more room for other created attributes.

So any comments.

FINALLY! the Custom Battle System!!!

NOTE: the icons are just placeholders, i know they totally clash and have nothing to do with the actions, but thats what i had at the moment..soo

NOTE2: The Windowskin is also not final, I can;t seem to find a style of windowskin that will match the style of my game...
if anyone has any idea of one PLEASE contact me.

 

[Prexus]

I don't think the Windowskin is too terrible.

Are you having the action on the left of the screen the entire time? Maybe having the battle pan-out and center whenever the menu is down (during animations/etc.) would look good.

 

[Diegoale2000]

The battle Maps, are NOT 640x480, they're larger, allowing the characters movement , and the camera to center and move around when needed.

 

[Scribblette]

Diegoale: I wouldn't obssess over the window skin. Let the game come along more and it'll come to you. I'd love to know more about how the characters were designed - what sort of resolution they were painted at, for example, and whether each new frame was painted from scratch or modified from the existing frame, as it certainly doesn't look like mere pixel art!

 

[Diegoale2000]

yeah the characters are not made with the common pixel art tehcniques, but in fact painted, i think, in photoshop.
i'm not sure about the resolution, but there are frames that are made from scratch and others that are edited.

 

[Twin Matrix]

@Myonosken: Yea, they will. Once I finish a few more tilesets. I want to get at least a desert village, forest village and the steam-punk city done.
@JStreet: Was that at me? o_O
@durdadan: xD
@Diegoale2000: Breathtakingly beautiful! o_o Who designed that gorgeous bird monster?

 

[Diegoale2000]

the same people who did the Rumi sprite there. It's a studio of I think 4 of 5 people.
We started working together earlier in the year, and things are going so quickly that I'm going to have a demo earlier than i thought.

 

[Jstreet]

Yes Twin, that was directed at you.

 

[Twin Matrix]

I don't .. have any puddles in my tilesets?

 

[Jstreet]

The little water hole on the bottom of the map by the tree.

 

[Twin Matrix]

Ah. That's just a hole in the ground. No water or anything. I have a few holes in every tileset. ^^;

 

[WeAreSuperhero]

Diagoale, thats sexy =]

 

[Sailor Taurus]

That is an awfully nice screen Diegoale, but how come the backdrop is anti aliasing OVER the bird's feet?

Um, I think those are the birds toes...

Also, that's a wonderful screenshot Deigo! *_* It looks more like art than a game (in the good sense).

 

[Roman Candle]

Diegoale, the new characters fit perfectly with the maps ^_^ Which is a lot more than can be said for the old ones :p

 

[Selwyn]

wow diagoale, it looks wonderful.
And I, for one, like the windowskin it's simple but still looks nice.

I'm testing a teleportation/location script for my game. It's functionnal but for the teleportation which I didn't had the time to work on.
The bg is a temporary one. But when it'll be finished, the bg will change accordingly to what location the the player selected.

When you hover the location list with the mouse, the windows scroll on to the screen and become semi-transparent :

and when you move out of the windows, they scroll back out of the screen and become opaque :
