The Screenshot Thread

[Ellie]

LF screenies:

Tilesets: REFMAP
Facesets: REFMAP

Notes: The Hud is part scripted part mock-up-with-pictures until i can get someone to help me with it. i know the face doesn't match the characterset but I will be changing the character set as soon as I have a working character creation script =).

The first screenie simply shows one of the people in Tiben Town. it is a walled town with guard-towers and it's own lot of guards (Tiben guards wear red). The person the hero is talking to is a simple NPC who can give helpful hints and so forth, she doesn't actually do much though. When you talk to her normally she will say one of six random messages, purely at random:

When you talk to her after starting the first of the Priest class quests, called "Searching for Zarmin Flare", you get one of three random messages to do with Zarmin Flare:

I haven't done much mapping in a while. Obviously the events are missing as well as a few objects (mainly in the north east corner and south west of the town square).

Prexus, that looks quite impressive in layout and style, it's a nice compleation of tilesets too. I've compiled a list of what I like and what needs improving, you probably already know what does though.

PROS:

- Good layout
- Good mix of tilesets
- Good use of shadow
- Good use of grass, and greenery, trees e.t.c.
- Nice mix of floors
- Good idea to use banners.

CONS:

- Streets are quite empty, put some barrels, boxes e.t.c. around
- The shadow looks very fake, there's a shadow autotile that ccoa created that works briliiantly to make it look realistic,
- Streets are quite wide, yes this is a mistake I often make too, but it's one I'm trying to over come, streets are better compact when they take up less space, 3-4 tiles max is best.
- The houses shapes are all very generic, make some with two flat roof tiles, others that are a little higher, perhaps some in the L or W shape.
- The banners are great, don't get me wrong, but you should stick to one colour so that it seems like that's the colour of that city/country.

Well that's the list, but otherwise, nice work. Keep it up, I'm willing to help you out as much as you need.

That's not a shadow, it's to show that you don't see that part of the map in-game.

A town without alleys or houses with character... nothing in the water... the temple + square goes rather nicely together, though.

Ash wakes up in a pub... but why are there only male guests?

Another LF screenie. In this one, there is the generic Tiben Guard. He says one of 10 random messages. He has a bad temper, will often insult you, and he also has a crush on the apothecary and cannot help speaking his mind about her.

Oh and noone commented on the last ones so:

What happened to the custom graphics?

 

[Ellie]

People said they were crappy and lame, and I couldn't get anyone to help me with them...

Edit: Plus I just didn't have the time or the skills involved to do everything custom made.

I figured i'd try out this screenshot thread. That looks good wyatt. Looks like a complicated system. But here is my first screenshot of a mine room. I have not put any stuff in it but is the basic layout good?

[Mr.Mo]

@wyatt, the graphics look kick ass now. Way to go!

@Sapphire; is it a gay bar?

@Sapphire; is it a gay bar?

Exactly.
I made some new stuff for it... I don't know the english words for the two things I made new, but you will see... :D

[Draken]

Those stools are waaay too big. They are almost the same size as the actualy characters XD

 

[Sapphire]

you are right. i made them a bit shorter. but those "stools" in real bars are pretty high, though. but you were right. they look better smaller.

 

[Mr.Mo]

@Sapphire
I just saw the posters and XD.
And saw your game's post so, the waking up in a gay bar thing is something original.

[Showkaizer]

Tactics Ogre/ FF Tactics art style. You win dude =)

 

[ryanwh]

Indeed. But Im hoping that background is a placeholder.

 

[Euphony]

Very cool art style, Kest. Immediately reminded me of FFT. Do you plan on recoloring your charsets and tiles to match the faded color scheme?
