Nethera is swinging the LB on the titlescreen, nice. I like the feel of the title. It needs to be very gameplay heavy with that title though.

Logoes aren't spaced out that big. Also, they usually contain a memorable image or word combination unless the logo is sophisticated (But even then they still do it).

If the actual things move and all, then it just turned epic.

The transparent thief and Arshes don't fit at all...Make some way to get them there or remove them...(Resize?)

[DeathLock]

Oh look, its my giant slime. =D

Though, its too much if its only a logo. :\

[G_G]

I said logo or title screen for something

A title screen of something maybe my logo for my game company.

I ...err...I don't know where to start
I'm sorry, it's just terrible

qft.

logos are simple and sleek, designed to be extremely memorable, so that when someone says "Nike" you think of their logo, or when you see their logo, you recognize the brand/company.  What you made..is...well it's not a logo in the least.

[Zylos]

Yea- no. Just no.

Sorry, I'm usually very lenient, but I can't even call that a good piece without laughing. You cut the RTP battleback in half and put the sky panarama in, then spaced out a logo over it after adding in some sprites. If it's animated, then I can forgive you a little for trying (you'll need a lot more happening in the scene to make it interesting, then should probably fade out the background and just focus in on the name if it's a logo). If it's not animated, just scrap it and try something simpler. Center the "RPG" over the "Adeventure", put them in the middle of the screen so they can catch eyes a little better.

Well I was trying to be nice with my post, but I think I should be brutal, all the cool kids are doing it.

Your titlescreen could use a LOT of improvement. Like blizz said, all you did is chop up a few of the default RTP things for the background. The position of the text is just weird, this isn't a modern poem, it's a titlescreen. If you want it to be left aligned, at least don't have that giant space between the letters (I think it really should be center aligned though). The random sprites on there feel, well, random and out of place. I say spend a little while thinking about what kind of message you want your titlescreen to send, and then find ways to send it. Just randomly patching together images neither looks pretty, nor sends a good message about the rest of the work you're presenting.

Thought it does have one saving grace, Nethera and the Legacyblade are on it

Never was good at making T screens. ;__;

New screenie to make up for it

Zylos said that, not Blizzard.

[legacyblade]

Oh, I thought it was blizzard, his avi looks blizz like.

[Sally]

Title logo?

Spoiler: ShowHide

that looks very awsome and well made.

[Blizzard]

Oh, I thought it was blizzard, his avi looks blizz like.

I was like "When did I say that?! O_o I don't even remember. Oh well, I probably did." when I was reading your post. xD

Wuzup take a look at my maps, they all are ripped isometric images.. but first heres the logo of the "company"

Spoiler: ShowHide

And then my title screen (used MOG script):

Spoiler: ShowHide

The game will be vaguely based on a very old dead NES title wich i loved 

Spoiler: ShowHide

it was not as easy as "copy paste" since you have to be very carefull when cutting the images so theres 0 mistakes, if you screw up whit a single inch the whole map will look glitchy

Spoiler: ShowHide

Then after i got all the layers i want compiled in a long tileset .png i paste them in the editor, the 1st layer, then the second layer.. that was the easiest part, now i must set the priorities, passeable tiles, wall tags Etc.. wich is the real pain in the ass since you gota do it individually on each map xD and Step3 is to cut and reduce pixels on second layers using photoshop.. on this image you see a very neat library

Spoiler: ShowHide

And finally the Roof, where your first boss will appear

Spoiler: ShowHide

tadaaaah!!

[Starrodkirby86]

I sure hope movement is not botch-like and all. Pixel Movement might do wonders...Chances are you have that though.

This would look good, but generally very time-consuming. Did you rip these images, or are these original creations by yourself? (The tilesets and all basically)

[OracleGames]

I ripped the images from a very old PC RPG, using various modding tools (wich im using to extract sounds, animations too).. then i made a template to paste its parts in it, rezized the images to 65% of its original zize because they can weight up to 30 mbs =S and then very carefully cut its parts and arranged them inside the template, for each piece of map i placed another one to be the second layer..
then i put them in my game, simple draw them and then all the hard work wich is chosing passable tiles, and priorities.
After all that i open the file again in photoshop and cut around every object, arcs, statues in the second layers..
depending on the map zize it takes about 2 to 10 hours to complety finish them and make them playable, but to make them complety bug free takes some more time, and testing whit the character itself
and mm im trying to use "Passabily direccions" as often as i can specially around small objects and such..
i would hate a botchy map too haha so dont worries xD

Will relase a demo soon  of the first stage if i can.. once i can solve some ridles whit the Blizz ABS o_o..
It consumes alot of time indeed, but beauty and visual awesomnes has its price xd

[Stealth]

...wait, has it been that long since BG2:SoA/ToB came out? Dang.

Anyway - love how it looks, Oracle.

[Blizzard]

Great use of Blizz-ABS. I hope you post the game soon and finish it as well. I have seen many promising games that were abandoned at some moment.

[OracleGames]

...wait, has it been that long since BG2:SoA/ToB came out? Dang.

Yup BG2:SoA was relased in 2000 so it has been some time by now xP.. the artistic work is very good tough, i even have the chance to animate the maps (ieportals, liquid surfaces, torches, fireplaces, fishes, fans etc..)

Great use of Blizz-ABS. I hope you post the game soon and finish it as well. I have seen many promising games that were abandoned at some moment.

thanks mate i hope so too, i may need some help after the demo.. people often leave good projects because they try to make them too complex for one person alone..

[Sally]

Wow, that looks amazing.

Great use of Blizz-ABS. I hope you post the game soon and finish it as well. I have seen many promising games that were abandoned at some moment.

best of luck, and it sounds like a bitch to make one map...
