The Screenshot Thread

...Is that really Canary Wharf? Looks nothing like any of London to me. But yeah, in games it's important to exaggerate details of locations. If I was to play your game, I'd be distracted thinking "This really is nothing like London". A good example is the Arabian tileset- how many Arab countries are like the tiles in that set? But it exaggerates the stereotypes and means you immediately identify it.

I suggest looking into images from some of the more common London areas (Whitechapel, East End >)) or upper-class bits (West End, some parts of Notting Hill).

@ Roman Candle "So? It still doesn't look like London" lol obviously you've never been to canary wharf or you don't know what it is. Roman Candle So? It still doesn't look like London For the sake of not cluttering up this thread I'm not replying to any further posts you make. Hohohohohoho.

@ Malick: Love the pissed off emote.

@ Kaze: lol, dialogue reminds me of 300.

Dreamwind, he lives in friggin London. Of course he's been to Canary Wharf. Anyone in Britain has been to London at some time or other.

Read that again in a few years and maybe you'll see how devoid of logic that statement is.
 
Okay, people. Let's try to keep a bit on topic. A few replies on a screenshots are okay, but let's not get lost in a useless discussion whether a place used in a screenshot is really London.
 
Welp, I haven't anything in this topic in awhile....

Just random stuff I was working on...

First, I made a test screenshot of how well my cel shaded sprites blend in with a recolored tileset.. I think it works... (don't mind the poor mapping... I just randomly threw it together)

Second, I was messing with Tana's battler template and applied to be used in a cutscene similar to this:

@JD: Reminds me of Stevo's stuff... still different, but great nevertheless.

@Shadow: While I pretty much like the straw-colored straw roof (and'd like to use it... you gonna submit it?), I think the green one looks strange... can't spot anything else non-RTPish in the screen, but that might be because I don't use RTP any often :P
 
BlueScope: Im not gonna submit it. I ned the creators permision first:(
The reason why you don't see any non-RTP style is because the Forgotten Chronicle series is based on RTP graphic( exept the main character in the first game. This picture is from the second game) Another reason is because Im pretty good with using the RTP tilesets, so Im gonna stick with them:D

Here is an exampel of the world map system.

Bluescope, the shacks are from Angel's tilesets. She released them a while ago so they should be somewhere on these forums. If not, I'll upload them.

EDIT: Angel's name on these forums are Angel. Do a search for Angel and then check her topics. Should be around here somewhere.

Then hurry up and ask him :P (please ^_^ ) [EDIT: @Lene: Oh, nice... I'll search for them... [EDIT: Man, not knowing who Angel is at all makes it kinda hard to find something from him/her... XD Could you point me into a direction?]]

Now that you mention it, I can remember someone posting this roof in IRC a few days ago... too bad my IRC log is about 2MB each week, which is too much to raid-through... XD

Also, that worldmap is nice, but it seems there are only two kinds of terrain (the bright and the a-little-darker part). You should include a little more diversity.
 
The red background for the enemy is kinda okay, while it distracts the attention being behind the party actor's name, too. Better choose no background but the empty one and just change the fontsize to white/that gray color you use there.
Pretty nice stuff, by the way...
