Post by: Nortos on January 08, 2008, 02:24:04 am
Hey guys, I just thought might be nice to have a screenshot thread, as we can all help each other with any maps and admire each others
I'll start off here's some my CBS and a cave map
CBS (http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7034/cbsnm9.png)
Cave (http://img78.imageshack.us/img78/4508/cave1copywa9.png)
Oh and ty for comment on old forum Blizz  :) first cave I've ever made
Also with that pic where Lilith is inverted, is't because she's dead?
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on January 08, 2008, 07:55:09 am
Yes, it's because she's "defeated". mumerus gave me that idea when he asked for a "dead image" script. So I simply edited the code I made for him and use negative images for defeated actors in CP. :)

Here are the screenies from the old forum, BTW:

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on January 09, 2008, 06:50:22 am
Spoiler 4 battleback is the RTP mine battleback.
And it's not really a fog of war. It's a big image which I move around according to Jason's position. The thing is that the room has a slippy floor. When you slide from one walkable block to another you can "fall into the water" and have to start over. Since you would see where to slide, I simply made that image that follows Jason so people actually can't see where they can slide and have to try out. It's way more interesting that way.

Yeah, I noticed them long ago. In fact, the "- found Bladed Knuckles" was changed to a format I usually use in the game like "Bladed Knuckles found". And yeah, it's theatre, I know. Why do you think I screenshoted it? It was a debug play of the complete game, remember? xD

Ccoa's weather script, awesomeness,  agree with Nortos. I want rain drops spattering on the ground though, tried scripting that but got too lazy.

Screen looks good Nortos, except for the purple flowers as Bliz said :)

:P it's cool, all that was actually on topic, also I would <3 rain drops spattering on ground, you would do it with terrain flags right???

Anyway I'm deciding what colour to make the purple ones maybe organge, blue or just more white?

None of these are actually scenes from my game. They just show some of my tilesets, characters and animations (which are all my own). All of my character sets are animated (ie: in the first screen, the rightmost character drinks from his mug), as are my battlers. And yes, one of my characters uses a guitar gun in battle. :D

[Note: the animation in screen 5 didn't really translate all that well into screenshot form. The white thing is basically a spark. The character is about to explode]

Feedback appreciated. Positive or negative.

Definitely. I'll probably be making them using the tilesets themselves.

I've just realised that there's a chair missing in the first screenshot, so there's a shadow being cast on the floor for no reason. My mistake. :D

Fantasist: will do. Cheers for the work you've done so far. The battles look a lot better now.

Well, guess I should post this here - this is my current working version of the CCMS. Tell me what you think - It has a gold window, playtime window, and real time window in the bottom that I shrunk down to get to work, and the command window at the top has mouse input capabilities (I'm probably gonna have to edit my Mouse module a little more so that the mouse icon always stays when it's in Mouse input mode.) I'm also planning on allowing the majority of this script to be configurable. Enjoy!!!

Yeah, and it also does weather effects and stuff like that at the same time. I just hope I don't do anything to screw it up. Right now, I'm working on adding drop-down menus for the top thing, but they're gonna take awhile to get positioned so they look as good as the rest of it.

And here it is with drop down menus. Please tell me if you think it needs any editing in size, positioning and the like.

You mean in the CCMS? I'm just using Tahoma instead of whatever the normal is, resizing it and giving it different colors. No special script for it, the only special font script I have is my personal shaded text, which has extra faded shadows. I just now got ToAO's in my script test bed :P

it was actually Darklight's pictures I was thinking about.  Sorry for the confusion WcW.

I was wondering what he was using for the text because I really like how looks, and as it is right now the standard text window is just.. well..  obnoxious half the time because it occupies like 1/3 of the screen.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: fugibo on March 13, 2008, 08:02:56 pm
Looks to me like he is just using a special font with an outline. To do the outline you could just use a simple script:


alias draw_text_outline_later draw_text # DO NOT USE WITH SHADED TEXT UNLESS YOU WANT TO SCREW YOURSELF OVER
def draw_text(x, y, width=0, heigh0, text='', align=0)
  if x.is_a?(Rect)
    rect = x
    text = y
    align = width
  else
    rect = Rect.new(x, y, width, height)
  end
  old_color = self.font.color.clone
  self.font.color = Color.new(0, 0, 0, old_color.alpha)
  draw_text_outline_later(rect.x-2, rect.y-2, rect.width+4, rect.height+4, text, align)
  self.font.color = old_color
  draw_text_outline_later(rect, text, align)
end

Hi guys! Thanks for the comments. I oughtta make a project thread so I can show people a better overview of my game. It's really good, I promise! And it's not about saving the crystals, either :P

As for the text, it's not a script, it's a special font I'm using. I really wanted that old-school text feel. As for the outlined text, it's part of the custom message script. It's nice cuz it actually fades in the windows without adding any lag. It's derula's re-hauled version of DubeAlex's Advanced Message Script [AMS+ v1.8]. which I got from Creation Asylum.

I've posted the font in my resources thread, which I need to update with some other stuff I've made :) I've decided to rehaul my tileset to give me the most flexibility in mapping, like an underground city that combines stone walls with cave walls. Right now just the interior map is 256x27594 px, and it still looks like I'm about to run out of room. The other advantage to this is all I have to change are the autotiles, which should shrink down my project size quite a bit. I can also just select 'use tileset for event image' which reduces the number of files in my /Characters folder.

The problem is that I have to re-map everything I've already done, and I have to set the passabilities for everything :'(
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Phasedscar on March 16, 2008, 04:22:05 am

For anyone who wants to read through the version changes and derula's original post, the CA link is here:
http://www.creationasylum.net/index.php?showtopic=18316
I'm the last person who broke his script :P

It's broken into 5 parts (you can still combine them in the editor), here is his website:

I've come to the thought of making a completely pre-rendered tileset.  It wont be flexable but it'll look sexy.  That's kind of a different thing all together and it's what I'm going to be doing in my own game (most likely).

Oh, I'm going to have the tree tops be flexable and I'm working on different types of platforms until I find something that works right with it.

The whole stone/tile doesn't really work with it all, and I'm thinking of trying out all natural materials and several pre-rendered huts for you.

The good news is, I figured out how I'm going to do your treetops so they're flexable and good looking, and it shouldn't take long.

@ Susys:  I got like 6 frames of animation done but I haven't found a good program to compile them into a good, working .avi.  So that's why it's not animated yet.  I mean, I can see what it looks like animated and all, but the program I was using was making 500mb .avi files for some odd reason I can't really figure out...

Most probably you will start wondering what that is. First off, the "Message Arbiter" is that animation that hovers over the currently speaking character. But what I wanted to show here is actually the connected miniface feature. The system is rather simple. When somebody starts talking, I simply check who the arbiter is and get the character spriteset filename from him. Then I just load the central top 32x24 pixels of the upper left character in the file and display it. It will need some adjustment with non-regular character spritesets though. <3
The actual best feature of both systems is that they are fully automated. Same goes for my new icon display system. It displays icons when finding items, learning skills, etc. It's fully automated, all I have to do is type the item's name in the message, the system will do the rest. Even the item name's text will be displayed in blue color without having the need to be defined it in the message. <3
The Arbiter System even changes the window position so it doesn't appear over the currently speaking character. <3 <3 <3

It's not, "Does it work good?"...It's "Does it work well?" Well. Something can't work good, it has to work well. Okay, I might as well feel a little lightheaded and wheezed up at night.

And to be comment on the rest, Memor, I really like those cliffs there...The first screenshot is really generic and cookie cutter like, but if I say that, you'll kill me, so I'll consider it canon and we'll be happy and harmonious. The sprites are offsetted, but you noticed that most likely. I don't mind graphic inconsistencies, oh wait, it's Black Cat...or what I think it is because of Train...Choo choo.

For Sion, where's the shadows? :< Other than that, it is some nice eye candy right there...Not like I have any other comments to say, but it's not bad. The other image back there, quite a while ago was pretty interesting.

@ Memor-X:

Criticism: ShowHide
Well, I just need to point out that the castle city map that you have made doesn't look very good. It looks too plain, the lights blending should be "add". The houses are too small, and I don't think everyone is awake at the night. Somewhat, I looks really strange.

The mountain forest, is too plain, you should add a little more plants, tree's, etc. I would recommend looking up a tutorial on the mountain tileset.

The first battle screen, don't use the RTP I recommend using other battlers. The battlers for the players are just strange, they aren't clear. They don't even match, which isn't a big problem, but you fixing them to make them clearer.

The second battle screen, as of again not using the RTP, the battler doesn't look that bad. For the grammar corrections, just use it like this: "Shit, I'll need back up!".


You can decide to follow this criticism or not, but don't get upset I'm offering help.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Memor-X on May 26, 2008, 07:57:03 pm
well the first screenshot is of the first city, Mira, last year i started Black Core but this year i started it again but with better mapping, so Mira didn't chnage at all, apart from the fact that now it one map insted of 6 or 7

@Starrodkirby86: ShowHide
the sprites are offsetted? i don't know what that means really, don't know what you mean by cookie cutter for the first screenshot but i won't kill you (unless your real name is Luke Mathers, personal reasons), graphic inconsistencies, well Train Heart (the guy in black) could have some more work done on him, Eve (the little girl) might be a bit screwy because i could never find a good scene where i could get a normal Eve in volume 1, i'm checking volume 2 this weekend after my date for a better battler and once i get one, i'll fix up the sprite


@DeathLock: ShowHide
well like i said above, my first map, i had shit all mapping skills, plus Mira (that city) is houdned by thugs and goons since the start of the game so everyone keeps their light so the goons and thugs can't break in, and you can't go into any of those places but thanks for pointing it out, i'll fix up some of them, the battlers, can't find too many monster battlers on the net that i can use as normal monsters insted of bosses so i use the RTP, Troy and Train should be fine since i cut them out from Volume 1 of Black Cat (Train from the DVD menu, Troy from a part where Sven is in the park), Eve i downloaded from the net and the image was bad but like i said, i'm in the progress of working on her battler and sprite, the second battle, i did get a better version of Angel 4 but then she would match since she is a bad guy and one of the good guys is her twin sister (Angel 3) and even if i had the better version of the battler, the one i have which is an edit of the RTP has that dam violin missing which is good and it was a pain to edit it out from the rtp at first anyway, and yeh, i need to fix up the text but the angel (Meril) is supposed to say shit 3 time to show just how bad of a situation she's gotten herself in, i should add some comma's shouldn't i and finaly, those lights at the lamp posts, normal blending, i made them like that in Fireworks, trust me, took me ages to get the sprite set up so i could create a lighting affect that wasn;t too large to make it look like a becon but not to small to make it liike like a firefly, i try using the add blending but it really didn't go real well when it switched between day and night


@Dark Angel Sion: i wanted to comment on your screenshots, i like how your doing the message boxes, you doing that by events or by scripts, also, that scene you have, if you made that yourself, that's real good, but no offence, but it kinda looks like a screenshot from an anime, but i won't hold it againt you, cause i do the same with scenes where Chronos is talking to Creed and Troy's memories of seeing his persents being killed and a man who killed them about to kill him

i'm supprised no one said anything bad about the battle in the second battle cause all id di there was rip out the eye and made them red, got some wings from a sprite and resized them to fit right, since no one said anything bad about it i say i actuly did a good job on it

The sprites are uneven, they aren't in the same sort of alignment with each other. It's sometimes unprofessional, though it's a small issue. Let me dig up that screenshot again.
(http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j14/Memor-X/Project/Black%20Core/BC-005-1.png)
Yeah, right here, I don't know if my eyes are playing tricks on me, but the guy in the white hat (I don't know names :<), looks like he's one pixel too much on the left direction compared to the girl. It may be pixel movements, but I doubt that. The cookie cutter style I meant is that you simply slapped what was from the map without any creativity, as of having more width or length with the houses or something.

I would say something about the battle, but I didn't want to disregard your type of writing since it was a matter of personal preference. What I was about to say wasn't about Eve, it was rather about how it was all lowercase and there was no period at the end. I highly dislike the casual Internet style, especially for a game...it nearly sickens me. Though I can tolerate it, that's why I said it nearly...

Dark Angel Sion, those images make me croon. Those anime-esque pictures, I wish I can say they're inconsistent just for criticism, but they're not and I know it. They look very beautiful. I suppose the mapping can be a little better, but I don't know how, maybe if those mesmerizing pictures were erased I can comment on that more, heh.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

Actually what I see on the pic is that the girl is one pixel too far on the right. xD The guys in white and black match if I'm not wrong.

It's been FOREVER since I posted a screen shot.

This isn't a completed tileset since it's highly customized, but I want to give an idea of what my game's art style is headed for.

Right now I'd say this is with a 5% completed tileset, and really the only one I've had time to work on.  But it's starting to show how the game is going to look.

Lol, thanks Blizz!

It's the art that's taking me forever, the events, mapping, and programming are all relatively quick. Over the summer I'll have quite a bit more time to work on it, and I'm expecting to have a demo ready by August (don't hold me to it!  :-X)  Right now because I'm still working on the tilesets the mapping is still more on paper then in 1's and 0's.

!Demo spoiler!
Spoiler: ShowHide
The demo will consist of the introductions for Allynia and Duran, 2 of the 4 main characters.  The expected play time of each intro is going to be about 25-40 minutes so they are fairly involved.

Allynia's starts in a mountainous, frozen landscape, involving her trying to protect the barrier hiding her people from the rest of the world.  She sets out searching for the 4 pylons representing a prayer of her people.  She must meet a task at each pylon in order to reinstate the barrier protecting her people.  When she reaches the 4th pylon, Crystal Hedge, she finds it distroyed, and a stranger overlooking the ruins.
Elinrue, the town where she grew up, will be the center staging area.  It will consist of 20 maps, 13 of which are field maps where you will be fighting monsters.

Duran's starts in the dry, desolate barrens.  He seeks medicine that the local doctor of Dustwind, Malcom Roland, was incapable of helping him with.  When you explore the town you find out that the Gypsies that had passed through recently may have rare tinctures that can cure his ailing family.  He sets out in search for them.
The Broken Caravan will be the center staging area.  Though Dustwind is the nearest town, they are wary of outsiders mainly due to the tribal nature of the wastes.  The intro for Duran will consist of roughly 21 maps, of which 12 are field maps.

Caro Ru Lushe...
I'm not digging all of that brightness in the red. I would make the red a tad bit more adrk, but then again that's just me...

Magic2345...
Add more detail. It is a forest!! Forests are the essence of nature. Nature is unpredictable. You need more flowers and stuff all over the place. The map's construction is very good. You just need more crap to fill it.

The Forest...
Lol, yes crap!! As in more small tiles.
32 x 32 objects. Leaves, flowers, stumps, and even more crap!!

The House...
If you are looking for an "empty and quaint" feeling, then make the house "empty and quaint!!" Make that house even more bare, and remove more objects. Add more objects to every other house in your game to aid this feeling. More contrast appeals to the eyes better.

More objects placed in every house by default will contrast with barren or "empty" houses on a whole new level. Try it out...

I'll just give you what I see that is unsual:-
- Jason's SR is 133,2%. Don't know if it is possible in the game, because I think 100% is maximum.
- Molasta Pass, as in molester? Ok, this is obliviously wrong. XD

This is really confusing... o_o

Molasta is spelt wrong on purpose so that it's not "too obvious". xD
And yes, 133,2% is the unusual detail. That is because of this here:

How did you manage to do that?? Did you draw it and then edit it in the computer? Or is it purely made from an image editing program?

It's digitally hand drawn...  meaning I make it all in the editor but in the same manner that I would a hand drawn image.  The water that I have there right now was for an older project (which you can get at my Icons and Tilesets studio in the resource section), I plan to edit it a little so it's more rounded, but until then that's my placeholder.

Probably over a year...  I've been doing everything on a solo effort and it's been time consuming.  Simply put though, I've already put well over 200 man hours on my project as is, but there's so many things to do still that I simply can't finish it quickly.  I'm trying to reach out and find someone willing to use my custom sprites for my main characters to make battle animations for Blizz-ABS.  Though I can say once I get the artwork finished the rest will come quickly, right now that's about all that's holding me back.

That and I want to make sure my game is well rounded and polished when I finally finish it.  Going to quality over quantity.  Trying to go for a deep, unique, story and fun game play.  Those all take time to accomplish.

The good news however, the final story is drawn up, all the concepts are done, the database is completed, and it'll just be a matter of doing the artwork and the eventing / scripting before completion.

Oh no, someone else using Hot Toke for their game. You know, I think I saved that image too in my Monster Database...*First Screenshot reference*

For the other patch of screenshots, I love the new sleekness of the game. It makes it look more professional. I however do not like the character set as face-sets...It looks cute in a way, but it's kind of strange at the same time...Any way to optimize that look or you're going to stay with that?

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on August 31, 2008, 08:41:14 pm
I have a big message window and the facesets I usually use are 64x64 which is just too small in comparison. And besides, I don't have to make a faceset for each sprite, they are automatically cropped from the sprite and that faceset feature gives it a little bit of cartoonish touch which serves its purpose but still draws the player actually more into the game as a contrast instead of being inconsistent. I cought myself a few times being like "WTF, since when do I have that sprite as... oh yeah... *smacks forehead*" That happened when I tested the first scene with Ariana appearing in the dress.

The carpet is just a placeholder for now, I'll get it replaced with one that's customized specifically for that tileset.  The color will be roughly the same, but a blood red instead of bright red.  I mainly wanted to show off the lighting aspect of it so far.

I haven't gone as far as atmospherics or anything like I did in the snowfield as well so that's detracting it a bit.

@Caro:-
1st Screen: Art class, nice. But seems a bit empty to say the least.
2nd Screen: Swimming pool, but the shadow seems off.
3rd Screen: Houses look tiny, don't know if it suppose to be like that. And the RTP door doesn't fit the small houses, they are much taller.

The shadows of the trees are too intense. I had the same problems with my own game. o.o There's also a small error in the center at the very bottom at the wall. It also looks a bit weird in the center where one part of the wall is higher than the one next to it. It's really clear from the mapping that it should be higher.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

And it looks like winkio's HUD is pretty popular around here in Blizz-ABS land. Those are sweet shots, though the walls in the Earth Temple look so strange with the holes there. No mapping errors, no no, just something that makes me go, "That looks like a face!"

I looked at the screenshot without reading your post, and I suddenly went "hey, those shadowed dudes look familiar...ZOMG, It's the BLOODLUST SOLDIER". I like the map too, though it's a little to dark for my personal taste, makes it hard to see where you're going. (my monitors are darker than most, I think). I can't wait to see the game, and I always get really excited when one of my sprites is in someone's game. Looks great!

(btw, if you're making bloodlust soldiers the same strength as I am, I'm really not looking forward to fighting my way through that map, XD)

Yes, I meant that. But this isn't the case here. xD

Leximus is using a charge sprite animation featuring his stance, the weapon and the glowing energy thing on the tip of his sword. The energy flow around his body is an animation that is used during his charging. Yes, I use sprites and animations. ^_^

Rivy on the other side has already fired his energy projectile which left a burst behind his body as you can see. Also you can see the light from the energy projectile reflecting on Rivy's front. ^_^ And obviously he's holding his scythe in his right hand.

That's not particularly bad. Though it's probably asking or yearning for more, you know? There's a bit of the dull square uniform look around the lower right area of the passage; I can even say the whole right side of the map is pretty dull-looking. I wouldn't see too much good use for this room except just for traveling around, which might be a total bore or a drag. It's okay though...

It's better than before, I think I can say that. (By before I mean that mountain map)

I think I just wet myself.

Seriously, Blizz, that is a sexy looking HUD you've got there. My question is: What are all four bars for? Is it HP, MP, SR, and EXP, or are you going with something else?
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Shadonking on March 29, 2009, 02:23:55 pm
that is really cool blizz, i like the way the hotkeys are shown.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on March 29, 2009, 02:32:07 pm
I'll explain it.

RED: "Energy" in %. It makes it more interesting if you don't know the exact value. Also, the battles are so fast paced and heated that you don't have time to think about numbers. Just seeing the bar shortly you will realize if you need healing or not.

GREEN: "Lexima Power" which is something like SP, also in %. LP are being recovered with time and are needed for skills and the such. LP are also needed for charging up attacks. i.e. If you plan on attacking an enemy with a charged attack (yes, you can use normal or charged attacks), you simply hold down the button. LP is being consumed until the maximum charge power is reached or until you run out of LP.

YELLOW: "Combo Efficiency Charge" in %. When you use a combo, the bar is being filled up with each hit. The more the bar is filled, the more damage each hit does additionally to the base damage. If you get hit by an enemy, you lose CEC. each attack from enemies takes away a specific amount of Energy and CEC. Of course there is a divergence so it's not 100% the same each time.

BLUE: "Battle Style Charge" in %. The better you fight, the more filled is this bar. Executing an action twice decreases the BSC. Getting hit decreases the BSC. Being interrupted during a combo sequence decreases the BSC a lot. Having it filled as much as possible is necessary because it multiplies the weapon EXP and skill EXP you are getting up to 3 times (full bar).
I'm still thinking if I should let the player start with a half filled BS bar and if I should make it so it decreases with time as well. I'll see.

Blizz was right, and yeah I do need to change the equipment names... however.
Those houses are shaped differently but they're both too huge to be seen in one screenshot.

Also.. DMC is super cheesy. "I SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE TO TURN YOUR DARK SOUL INTO LIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!"
I gagged through the whole game. However.. the battle system? Delicious.

I could guess that whole scenario at that one bit of dialogue... but I'm pretty sure the battle would be delicious.

Generic enemy started a fight with a generic hero

back to back scene commences with too much talking  and one liners are thrown like pokeballs

"Lets do it! I got your back man!" "*"cool one liner inserted here"

Generic enemy sends plithera of enemies to kill the two but somehow the enemies ALL get their asses handed to them.

Generic enemies rub it in.. and probably go for the main boss if she/he didn't disappear.

With that said.. I'll have to try a bit harder on my game. Even I want to play your game.

You can see a boss fight between Rose and the Lord Knights here.
I messed up on the recording process so it's a bit glitchy. Watch it in fullscreen if you're really intent on seeing it closely.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3A8rZ1cEMg)


Off the record.

Desperation - the first skill on the HUD does damage depending on your health.

I.E. if Rose is at full health it does 200-300
if Rose is at 1 health it'll do 500-700.

You obviously haven't seen Anamei's work or SkieFortress. Those guys are on a different wavelength. Soul Reaver isn't bad but it isn't good..  Sacred Bonds?

Hmm.. this map needs to be realistic.. BIRD!.. BUNNY!
I understand birds are part of nature but.. fuck..

When is the last time you've seen a wild rabbit walk around a domesticated area? Yeah I just went outside and BAM brown rabbit just hopping around in a circle all willy nilly.

I would say the bunny is running away from the character, not to mention the setting fits an 'abandoned' area rather than a domestic. @__@ Thou I can't fault on that, it means I have to fix the tileset itself to give it an 'abandoned' look.

There's a few cliffs sticking out themselves that look plain awkward. I also really don't like how the cliff in the background just merges over as a higher cliff to the main middle one there...looks somewhat unnatural. But what do I know about cliffs?

There are also not a lot of events on the map. Take this as something; I'm not aiming it to be an insult or complement.


You should have poses for the sprites, especially if that's how your Mercenary looks like. He needs to look badarse when doing his killings.

I suggest you take a look at your title screen, after all, it is "The Mercenary of Death".

Ahh... Your right Star! *Facepalms*

Like I said, that cliff map is still a Major WIP, took me about 2 hours on it as it is.
I haven't added events in there(Besides map settings) and those guys are just there for testing some skills and Aqua's SP system she made me lol
I have poses for the sprites, I just haven't turned them on yet because I still haven't made all the weapons yet.
Although I still have to make poses for the enemies and for some cutscenes.
I'm trying to make this as easy as I possibly can as I need to finish it in 20 days o.O

Starting tommorrow I'll start animating cutscenes for Mid Autumn Garden in Flash... Yes I know how to animate.. I was a flash animator before I started rmxp. For an amature anime label.

http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=graphic6zs.swf


I would like to note that I hate anime and jrpgs with a passion.  I hate anything that lacks thought and a contains cheesy overdone story.. with archetypes and ... let me put it like this.. before I animated or tinkered in rmxp.. I wrote novels. Yeah..

P.S.

Wouldn't be much of a screenshot thread if I didn't post a rpg maker screenshot. Cemetary in game where my sister is buried.
I would say Rose's sister.. but since I'm Rose... yeah.

Anywho.. I spent a year or so working on not improving mapping but improving perspective.
While people wasted time throwing birds and rabbits in their maps I tried to find some way to apply a pseudo camera angle of sorts to rmxp. While this may seem foolish since the pov is almost consistently birds-eye view.. I have found loopholes in many occassions. However magicians never reveal their tricks.

Ah yes, forgot that CP isn't familiar with Midnight. Last year I had made a somewhat decent survival horror game called Midnight (with a system rather obviously inspired by the Resident Evil games), but due to technical errors with the ABS I had made and some serious lag, it was scrapped before I finished. In the time since, I've been learning some tricks and improvements for a remake someday, and now I've decided to take a second stab at making a Midnight game for the BlizzABS contest. It'll be a short non-canon game, but it should be fun. :3

I didn't miss the point at all. The colours are watered down because that's the look I was going for. Increasing the saturation does little to the majority of the tileset (all the greys), and makes the grass and double yellow lines too bright. I don't want that.

I started out with square looking maps like anyone else but later learned the basic rules of thumb, this is my first outdoor map:

And later I started doing ones like this:

Maby still a little open ended, I'm having a bit of controversy over the keep everything close rule, but since rmxp is at a much higher resolution then most 2d rpg's it feels more natural to spread things out a little bit.

My first outdoor town, very crappy lol

And here it is on my second try:

Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o296/MightyLink/som_e309-2.jpg)


Its scaled better, the ground is more detailed, I followed the rule that areas people are likly to walk are more worn, I added thicker grass patches and bare spots and the house is scaled better.

I think I have improved a lot and I still got some more improvements to make, practice practice practice!

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.

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.

Post by: Zylos on May 08, 2009, 11:11:38 am
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.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: legacyblade on May 08, 2009, 06:50:31 pm
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 :P

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)
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: OracleGames on May 10, 2009, 11:51:07 pm
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 :P
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..

Well I want it to have consistancy or something so each skill has the same icon for levels.

Believe it or not but I only had to make 5 pictures. 1 for each level.

But I want something that looks not like stars or anything. I've been looking around for something good but I havent really found anything I wanted for icons as levels for skills.

Anyways does it look good right now? With each skill at a certain level and whatnot gave it more depth than just one skill being at level 1.

Make sure that people will know that's the experience bar. Perhaps a very transparent 'EXP' sort of thing appears on the center of the box? Or it appears as the background, the gradient being the foreground?

Make the skill icon more centered unless you can have the capacity of two of them there.

Are you able to enable/disable such parts of the HUD? Some people may find it annoying or might need to turn it off for a little. Or perhaps have a choice between translucent, transparent, and fully gone?

Great work so far.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on May 30, 2009, 01:09:06 pm
Alright, I'll add a small exp text above the bar.

There isn't much buttons on the keyboard left atm, I just have it where you turn off the hud it will turn off the other stuff. It's not hard at all to add it where you turn individually things off.

Maybe have it where you press B it turns off the bottom map name/gold and the equipment?

@Blizz: I recently downloaded the latest version of XAS and I liked it, but when I actually tried to do stuff with it, I couldn't figure anything out. So I switched back to BABS of course. Just to try XAS out.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on May 30, 2009, 01:30:33 pm
I tried XAS myself once. People were all like "OMG, IT'S SO AMAZING". I was very disappointed in XAS. It is powerful if you script a bit, but on the other side Blizz-ABS exceeds XAS even without scripting, not to talk what you can do if you script a bit for Blizz-ABS. *points to the few SMALL plugins that enrich Blizz-ABS a lot*

@Landith: I don't care too much for the screen tone,(you could get better shade) and the equipment display is 'empty.'(only word I can think of to describe it) Everything else has boxes and shit like that to help the aesthetics, but the equipment area is so plan and has so much extra space between all of the material, that it falls out of sync with everything else.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on May 30, 2009, 06:27:33 pm
Yeah, I see what you mean, I moved the equipment stuff up so it's on the top right corner now.

(The map was just a test... It's my test map where I test scripts and stuff, I'm not actually using it in-game)

Final Version:

Ignore the red box by the hotkeys, that has nothing to do with my script. It's Blizz's Stat Distribution system.

Post by: Calintz on May 30, 2009, 06:54:29 pm
Way better than before, but maybe you should move the equipment window over to the right a little more. Make the distance from the top edge of the screen to the text the same as the distance from the right edge of the screen to the text.

That makes for perfect corner justification.

Just a suggestion, but the entire layout look much better now.

Change 'Enemys' to "Enemies". In a word that ends in y, if the second to last letter is a consonant, you end it with an 'ies' and replace the appropriate areas. If the second to last word is a vowel, then you add the s and make no changes.

I think you should rename 'Number of Characters Killed'. I'm assuming you mean people in your party that have died.

This is very nice looking. Perhaps you should get more screenshots? :3

Now I'm using BlizzABS ^^ It has everything I need and even more^^

Atually, the amazing thing of XAS are the graphics in the demo (especially the animations), and these can easyly be used with BlizzABS.

Caro, those screenshots are way too dark. Even on an LCD display I can't see a thing. ._. I doubt that your point in the game was that I keep hitting walls. For somebody who doesn't know the maps from memory it can be very frustrating when he can't see at all where (s)he is walking. That's like playing a game with closed eyes or playing a game while looking at the keyboard/controller all the time. :/

Well I'm not trying to bring you down, I'm trying to help.

Edit:
I just think it's way too open. You have too much space which causes the empty feeling. Anybody who was building this tomb(to break someone out of jail) wouldn't care what it looked like. I'm not saying the place wouldn't be shapely, but it wouldn't be THAT wild if it was hand dug. It would most likely be straight-forward for the prisoner's escape.

The path IS pretty straight-forward in your map, but I highly doubt that the witch-doctor's workers would have dug out so much just for the escaping prisoner.

Haha, it has the generic atmosphere of a great RPG Maker game. Pleasant to see something like this come out. On the first screenshot, is it really needed to put a window on a back-wall?

I see a lot of the dialog is pretty nice too...to an extent, if it needs work, haha. Though usually I would figure youth and young ones are to not say their contractions fully, like instead of they are, they go they're, you know? I seem to see a lot of opportunities where you can shorten it with apostrophes. That can help in some dialog cutting.

Excellent overall.

The shadows in the last screenshot look a bit weird. Maybe you should set the priority the walltiles to a higher value. 2 or higher should do it. As for the rest they look interesting.

BTW, have you thought about using a smaller line height in the message box since the font is significantly smaller than the default?

Haha yea thats one of the things I need to work on. I'm a one man army, so grammar will always be an issue with me. Thanks for the input, i'll be sure to try to shorten some areas.

I been trying to fix that shadow problem for ages, that might work. Thanks for that. As for the line height, i'm most definitely trying to shorten it, but as of late, I kinda changed the font size. So it might be fine the way it is now. I'm not sure
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

It should be fairly simple to change the line height. You probably only have to change the coefficients for line height and message window height in your AMS. You might have to change the code yourself if there is no special option provided for that.

The sprites look awesome. You might want to use a more detailed wall tile, though. Maybe a slightly darker color to distinguish it from the floor better would do good.

You probably just dumped it into the file, not the array. What script are you using?

I made my own script. Its an update for my augment system for fable. In my old one when you augmented a sword it made every kind of that sword augmented.

So this way if I can figure out how to dump weapons into Weapons.rxdata then it wont change every weapon.

Marshal.dump(array, file)

This shouldn't corrupt data. Maybe you did a mistake in your script and it got messed up. ._.

I can't see a real reason for more than eight enemies in a troop at a time ...
The only time I can see fighting more than eight enemies in a single battle would be like ... as some die ... new enemies come.

Edit:
I suppose if my idea were to be incorporated, this would be needed wouldn't it??
The way the database works is that you have to hide the enemies that would appear later, and reveal them as they died, eh??

In that sense, I guess this would be interesting ...
Not something I would use myself, but it could make for some kick ass boss battles actually!!

I have seen this done in many games.

Examples:
Final Fantasy X: When you battle the huge machina in the snowland. The one that uses mana beam. He "deploys" those little things that cut off your ability to cast mana.

Final Fantasy Crisis Core: Same basic idea here. There is a machine that deploys little floating things that attack you. If you kill them all, it can deploy more.

Pretty nice!! Could use some more floor detailing.
Use the dark grass autotile and add some foliage too.

Actually, it's a pretty damn good map. I approve, but look into adding more ground detail.

Update:
Get some more lilipads in the water too. Maybe put some leaves in the water also. Add some mushrooms to it's border ...
I don't understand the map's tree border and panorama though. Granted, it provides a pretty nice effect, but it's weird ...

Wow... you didn't look at them did you? If you look at the girl in the picture thats using the skill you should see the size of the character exactly. The RTP the girl is smaller than the skill animation, in the more defined one the girl is larger. The trees are more of a 2.5D  in the larger tileset while the trees in the other one is more flat.. the graphics are still being worked on but soon things will be more custom

The characters and tileset are not RTP for one, they are far larger.

Those lines kind of look too big.
Most crosswalks I know of are made of skinny diagonal lines from one point to the next.

By the top headlight, your tileset contains transparency that you need to eliminate or place something under. Look for black pixels.

Post by: Zylos on October 23, 2009, 11:30:27 am
That is an amazing map there, FAX. Definitely a lot better tileset than I was able to come up with for any of my modern pieces. My only very picky gripe (aside from the gap in the tree) is the way the road seems to change suddenly in the part one tile left of the stop sign. The road gravel seems to be going horizontally for the most part, then suddenly looks as though it's going vertically. Or is it just me?


Anyway, I'm currently working on two projects, but here's the one most taking up my time.

Spoiler: ShowHide
I started a game in a week contest and began work on a quick shooter game made entirely with events, in light of the upcoming RMRK awards and my big big hope to earn 1st place in the eventing category again. Alas, school and general life drama did not play fairly, and I didn't have nearly enough time to complete it... until now. Last year I made a test system called Star Quest on VX, to explore the possibility of a "first person shooter". This is it redone in XP with a revamped system, graphics, and story.


(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/SQ-SS1.png)
It's time to get them guns a blazin' and pop them damn balloons in the middle of the effin' battlefield!

The concept is pretty simple. Aim your crosshairs and shoot all of the enemy ships until they go down. Each laser shot costs 4% of your maximum energy as shown in the bottom right hand corner. Every now and then your allies will send you some supplies in the form of a random balloon. Green balloons repair damages to your ship and raise your auto-shield by one, while blue balloons restore your energy booster to 100% maximum capacity.


(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/SQ-SS4.png)
Oh god, another character named Angelo? Can I shoot him please?

There are two main characters and two differing (but interlinked) storylines to choose from. You select your main character at the beginning of the story much like you would select a difficulty on an arcade shooter: by shooting your selection. I could have sworn I had more to say here, but apparently I don't, so moving on...


(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/SQ-SS2.png)
Danger, Maria Robinson, Danger!

You can't just shoot at someone and expect to get away with it, the enemy forces are going to be firing back with all of their might. The warning signal in the top right hand corner will alert you when the enemy is attacking, and the ship will start to glow red just before they fire at you. You have three auto-shield units, so if you lose all three and get attacked, it's game over. There's only two ways to avoid being hit once you're locked onto; One, you can destroy the ship before they can pull off their attack, and two, you can raise your manual-shield up in time to defend yourself. Whether to deploy a better offense or defense is up to you.


(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/SQ-SS3.png)
Imma charging mah laser!

If you're out of energy in the heat of battle, you're screwed. There's only two ways to get your energy back in time to save yourself. One, you could shoot down a blue balloon pickup and get a whopping 100% energy back, but balloons won't always come when you need them. The other way to get your energy back is by holding down the charge button and letting your energy come back manually via solar energy. It'll come by in increments of 8% per 2 seconds, but you cannot fire your laser or put up your manual-shield while charging, those two seconds can be quite tedious, so use it carefully!


(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/SQ-SS5.png)
Oh shi- fox in space. DO A BARREL ROLL!

Your manual-shield is an outer shield you can pull up in a moment's notice to block almost any type of attack save for crashing into a mountain. It costs 4% of your maximum energy to put up, and will be your greatest asset right next to your trusty cannon. Of course, there are those secret weapon pickups that might be more useful, such as the Shortwave Barrel, the Needler, and of course, the screen clearing Super Nova.



This is just a quick short term almost finished project meant for the purpose of getting people to go "Oh cool!" and remember me when it comes time for voting next month on RMRK. ^^b

In case you think you've found an error or two in the map, you haven't. Remember that the editor doesn't display priorities properly but instead it displays by layers. If something is on the 3rd layer and something else with a higher priority on the 2nd layer, the 3rd layer tile will be visible in the editor above the 2nd layer tile, but not in the game. In the game everything will be fine.

Have you seen big hallways? There are hundreds of m2 of free area without any support except for a few really big pillars. Also, have you never seen huge windows? The windows cover the entire wall. It's like a room with a completely open area on one wall. And not just that one room, it's like that on every floor for dozens of floors. And yet the building is completely stable. I don't know what you've been smoking, but it doesn't even "seem" to be unstable.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

There are some differences. Like, you know, all the buildings you list aren't towers, meaning that the bottom floors don't have anywhere near as much stress on them. And a window-as-a-wall isn't the same as a hole-for-a-wall, and you know that.

Agreed, but people can just get schizo over the realism sometimes. I was just saying that things like that might be what's annoying Calintz. >>

Of course, I just don't like the cracks in the floor and the carpet because I prefer dark-and-gloomy towers, plus I hate the RTP's anime-style graphics. But that's just me, I don't think the maps are bad because of any of this.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Calintz on October 25, 2009, 12:25:06 am
Nah, for me it's mainly the carpet placement in his towers.
The only maps that really bother me in Chaos Project are the towers.

While I despise large empty areas in RPGXP, even Blizzard's towers don't seem too empty. There is a lot of unused space, but it definitely bearable. Like I said, it's mainly the carpet. The way it interacts with the corners as they cut angles just is unappealing to me.

I have yet to really see a map in Chaos Project that I thought was created half-assed or poorly.
Especially that one you just posted Blizz. The lava dungeon is orgasmic!! I love that demon!!

@Blizz:
This is what I mean ... notice the blue square.

There is no defining pixels to show that the wall is ending. Looking at the default indoor tilesets; you can notice that they have tiles with solid borders for the edges of the indoor doorways like that.

It's not a tower. I'm using an interior tileset as an interior tileset. This one's good because it has diagonal walls.

@LF: The cracks in the floor are there because it's old and deserted, it's simply a very old building.
And the stress that windows take away is relatively so small that it can be ignored. You're jumping to assumptions again.

@Calintz: I did all doorway like that so I'm staying with this. I'm not going to change a hundred maps (literally) just to "fix" something's that' relatively ok into something that's not really much better. Unless I am provided with a very, very good solution on indoor doors, I'm not going to implement it.

EDIT: Improved monster battle arena. :3 In this screenshot you can also see the completely new damage display from Chaos Project RC.

It was intentional. It's a snow city so the windows being white is supposed to make sense. o.o;

As for the monster arena, well, originally those were supposed to be chicken. xD I'll make the other arena's fancier. I could explain it here that it's a small village and the people put together what they could to make an arena so it kinda makes sense that it's ruggish I guess.

@The Niche, 1st, please don't use the tree canopy. It looks ugly. :P Most people agree with that. Take the time to play around with layers to make good tree clumps that cause a similar effect. It'll be worth the effort. Furthermore, your map is rather empty. I mean from the looks of it, that's supposed to be an overgrown forest. You need more shrubs. Even if it's just a foresty meadow, you'd need more than that. Vary the grass color a bit, add some more plants, maybe a few little piles of pebbles, overgrown grass. As it stands now, it looks rather empty and boring.

And not to be nitpicky, but the default blizzABS hud? x.x

@nathmatt, I think he was referring to the line "where am I" and assuming what your plot was.

Your maps are pretty good. I really like the dark atmosphere. One thing that jumps out at me is the trees in the first screenshot. They look great, but they look like 3D renders. It's a totally different art style than everything else seen in any of the screens. I think you should recolor and touch up the dead RTP trees. As it stands, they really detract from the awesomeness that is that map.

Also, I think the bedroom shown in the last two pictures is a bit too empty. Now since it seems to be a creepy house, it works ok. I just think it'd look better with some of the clutter and cobwebs seen in the previous map (unless you're having it clean for the purpose of creepiness. Then ignore what I just said)
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: nathmatt on June 22, 2010, 05:07:23 pm
actually the bedroom is only that way when you first start the game when you go back into the room it becomes like the other rooms and i see what you what ur saying about the trees im not really good at graphic design but i will see what i can do about that
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: legacyblade on June 22, 2010, 05:12:54 pm
To make the RTP trees have that effect, you'd just have to darken them in photoshop so they loose that glowing look most RTP objects have in dark environments.

@Leg: Yeah, I know what you mean. It's just that the alternative is sealing off my map with water. Which isn't going to work. Also, the canopy autotiles other than the one I used there, can be used as leafy paths! It's all I ever use them ones for. The one I did use might be a semi decent bush. As to the emptiness, there's actually  going to be a chase scene there, so yeah, but  the rest of the map is waaaaaaaaaaay too empty. Also, you got it right about my plot guess.

And for the little typos:
'Where am I?' <- I is always wrote capital (I instead of i)

other than that, it looks nice, reminded me of some point&click adventures. Only the font looks quite bad.

I agree that the fonts are quite difficult to read; you might want to re-think them a bit. Also, the cobwebs seem a bit too bright and don't blend well with the rest of the environment. Also, in the fourth screen shot, you might want to consider using a wider variety of crack tiles. For the most part, though, your game looks like it will be fantastic. It's possibly the first point and click adventure developed in RMXP.

It's a good idea, but it'll be tough to do. Good luck with it.

The weapons shop looks very nice. Is that shield on the left in any default tileset, which one if so, which one if not?

Why is there a stool beside a suit of armour is my only complaint.

The map's name "Kukkalinna" is finnish for "Castle of Flowers". Not that any of you care.

@OracleGames: The map looks fine but has some weird things in it. Firstly, the "hills" don't look that much hills, it works but not that well. Also the edges of the trees and the ledges seem very cubicish (straight lines).
You can remove the "grid" by choosing one of the normal layers, then disabling the dimming in View->Dim Other layers (or press F4 to toggle it).

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Calintz on October 03, 2010, 03:09:35 am
The storyline of the game will be based from the history and life of Spartacus, and his rebellion of gladiators against the romans. There will be factual historic names portrayed throughout the game, such as the Ludus you're going to train in. It was where Spartacus was trained...In the ancient Roman city of "Capua" lived the "Batiatus" family. They were notorious for their Gladiatorial Ludus where many successful gladiators were forged.

There will be famous gladiators in the game such as: Caligula, Commodus, Titus, and Flamma, etc...(you may even fight Spartacus). You will have the option to name your own Gladiator though. You do not directly play as a famed historic Gladiator.

Oh I know
thats why I asked. I saw Batiatus in the information of the pictures.
pretty good idea to allow to make it an up incomer style to.all the other gladiators had to do that,and starting out as a badass,would ruin the feeling of being a gladiator

but it does lead to a question.will lesser known gladiators be present?
your not just skimming the pages are you?
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Calintz on October 03, 2010, 03:28:27 am
Well I didn't have any real prior knowledge of all things Gladiator until I decided to make this game. This site has been my friend ever since, and contains damn near all of the information I think I'm gonna need to finish this game. But this site really only has the more famous Gladiators listed on it, and so I don't personally know too many of the lesser known Gladiators yet...

That would be something I have to look into.

Anyway, this is the site:
http://www.roman-colosseum.info/index.htm

Edit:
What I was basically planning on doing, since I'm focusing mainly on Capua, Ravenna, and Pompeii (short of Rome); is do some research on some of the famous Gladiators that emerged from those three locations and have you tackle them one by one at set points in the game on their home grounds. After you prove yourself worthy by doing such, you will be accepted to fight in the Colosseum, where you meet the big names.

So, you have to become the champion of Capua. That is the first goal on your list. Then, to Ravenna to compete and conquer their champion. Finally, you can fight in Rome, but only after then conquering the champion in Pompeii (Capua's long time rival Ludus).

well yeah but gladiator business was highly finicky they had to please not only the ludus but anyone the ludus had to impress.
there are plenty of occassions where they would have to sleep with someone,or murder someone.
they dont all have to be known gladiators,but adding missions outside the ring would improove realism.Espeasaly sneaky missions of information and murder.

Oh no I completely understand, and those are my intentions.
I own the first season of Spartacus, which actually spurred the motivation for this game. If you haven't seen that show it's a great portrayal of the Gladiatorial times, and I will use that show for reference. You don't need to worry...I will make sure it isn't just a beat 'em up game...that would be hella boring! At one point in the show Spartacus has to kill his greatest comrade for the amusement of a child. I will implement such occurrences in the game.

great but I will have to warn you,Sparticus blood and sand isnt 100% accurate.
In fact im quite sure that Batiatus' encounter with sparticus' wife was completely altered.

But to more pressing matters I have to ask if theres any 'bl' in this game.

Really? That's good to know. Agreed...the story doesn't have to be all factual, but taking a look around the web to get the actual facts the best I can won't hurt. For all I know...the factual encounter could lead to promising opportunities that may suit a game better than a tv series, so I'll have to run a search on that just to get the facts.

I didn't level you down, and I assumed nothing. I only responded in that way because I felt it was a good tip for any game maker. It will always be in a designer's best interest to do as must research on a said topic as they can, before they actually begin production of something that will be a derivative of historic origin. Now normally this wouldn't apply, because most games are fictional by nature, but because mine isn't it applies here.

Even if you're changing the game a little...it can never hurt to know the facts of how it really went down. This is how Hollywood does it. They pull you in by revolving a scene around factual events, throwing in miscellaneous details that further captivate the viewer. This tactic can and in my opinion should be applied to games if it can.

lol just curious.
though I think accuracy is important,history shows that rome was trying to be a progressive nation.
Ironicaly the religion that swept rome destroyed it and held back progressive thought for a 1000 years.isnt that fucked up.Americas the new rome,except the stupid fake religion ruining us is older then us,not newer.

Rome was dying after Augustus left the throne. Every emperor after him would be surrounded by conspiracy and betrayal. Dying is a long process. And it was Christianity before Catholicism was a term. I go to a fucking Catholic School. Catholic is short for Roman Catholic, a part of the Christian Religion which has it's roots in Rome. Christianity refers to the entire religion, Protestants and Catholics alike.

Christianity as a religion didn't appear right after Christ died either. It's appearance came long after, perhaps 200 years. Before that, it was a cultist region practiced in people's basements and int he catacombs. I'm a 6 year Latin student, a 4 year Ancient Greek one and have read the Bible in English and Greek as well as taken religion courses for 4 years as a supplement to my Catholic upraising. I'm perfectly qualified to discredit your Wikipedia based education.

I forgot what it's called, but after roughly a week of training the new gladiators were matched against the Ludus' current gladiators in a fight to either death or draw to prove themselves worthy to train there. The fight took place on top of a platform that forced the gladiators to move forward, or be pushed back and destroyed. I want to add that platform to the tileset. Hopefully, it won't be too hard.

This are two screenshot of my game Tammuz (I´ll post it on New Projects forum soon). I want to customize all graphic (tilesets, characters, pictures, etc...). On the screenshots you can see the main character of the game, a tileset from a farmers village (working hard on this), and a edit of g_g hud for Blizz-ABS (just added basic stats to the hud).

Okay! Now I like that! Such a defining original design compared to most. My advice though...Drop the bevel FX and do the pixel work yourself...It will look MUCH better because it will follow the natural flow of the RTP. This will help it assimilate seamlessly.

I would love to help you! How about you give me the specifications on your current bevel settings, and I will give you some recommendations? I would love to help. No credit obviously. I just want this to be crisp!

Edit:
To be honest...you should scrap that and start over. Keep the main design in mind, but re-calculate measurements.
I would corner the LVL box in the top left. (Because all other corners have something in them. This will help maintain the flow.)
Then, increase the size of the name box to match the LVL box, and space it either 8 or 16pixels to the right of the LVL box.
Again, using either 8 or 16pixel spacing, drop the HP and SP bars below the Name Box using 8 or 16pixel spacing between them.

Create your connecting pipes at half 1/4 the spacing size. (8 = 2, 16 = 4)
When you bevel them use a depth of 150 or 200% and a size of 1. Select Chisel Hard mode. See how that looks...

Post by: nathmatt on October 13, 2010, 06:43:25 pm
i didn't use any bevel settings i actually just took the color 124,174,224 and made them using 3 different styles the first is whether or not it will be a inner or outer look for the inner i use the router style for the outer i use the Clear Emboss - Inner Bevel on another layer the last layer is always the frosted glass style

Thank you very much.
I added trees to "Scene04 - Part 01" I think it looks better. I'll update the screenshot.

Well,
It's symmetric because it's a man-made building. The design for things in the older days believe it or not, were even more mechanical than today, especially in the Roman empire (the main setting for my game). I'll see what I can do to add more details to the map, but I believe symmetry works well in these 2-D games that run on spriting.

Edit:
Okay, now don't get jealous, but this is where my time went today. New tileset.

Some advice on the square tent.. to flat... have something that shows that there are posts underneath holding it up, and areas with the tent sagging some.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Calintz on October 19, 2010, 04:01:36 am
I added a door to the inside of the tent.

@Taiine:
That would cause serious obstruction to what you can see inside...I don't want to do that because of that reason alone. Also, depending on how tightly the tent is tied it might not sag at all...

P.S. I also fixed the grass in the wall. That occurred with the tile reset.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Taiine on October 19, 2010, 04:33:52 am
I dunno. I go camping a lot, and even with the bigger tents pulled tight, never seen one not have some sag, or outword signs and folds where the posts are set, even if just in the corners.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Ryex on October 19, 2010, 05:15:12 am
I agree, the outside view of the tent on the roof. its completely flat and this isn't natural. it needs some indication of folds on the edges and corners.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Taiine on October 19, 2010, 05:54:54 am
Agreed, the kind of tent you show is a box tent, a post in each corner and maybe (if there big) one in the center or so to hold the center up. Even if pulling fully taught, you will see folds and signs of those posts in the corners, even more so when tight. But honestly you don't want it super tight, wind blows and theres no give, the tent can easily tare.

I tried to find a photo of the tent me and some friends used as a main living tent on a two week outing, it was similar to what you have to show an example, but couldn't find any clear shorts of it.

It's cool! I thought about it while I was laying down for the night, and noticed the same things. Even if a tent were stretched tight it would bear stretch marks across the top. As for the beams holding it up...I have an idea for that might work well. I will edit the tileset and I hope that you will still be here to give more feedback.

I think it looks cool. Though you shouldn't have stretched the health bar but instead extended it properly. It's obvious that the HP bar was stretched as opposed to the SP bar so it looks a bit awkward.

BTW, HUD is an abbreviation of Heads-Up-Display. So HUB doesn't really work, you know.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Taiine on October 26, 2010, 10:59:46 am
It wasn't stretched, they were both drawn separately in photoshop. The SP bar use to be flipped around to go along with the curve of the bottom half of the design, but someone suggested it should match up with the direction of the HP bar's curve so it got flipped and had it's shading altered.


...I still wish you had added an exp bar to that script. >.>;;; I've yet to get my edit to work right, closest I've gotten was for it to show, but even with the update it still wouldn't...update less the menu popped up. same with gold amount... levels about all I got truly working, but it displays below the bars -.-

If you don't like her outfit there is a costume system enabled. She can change dresses, weapons, and hats. My favorite is honestly a tie between her Agility purist armor and her elegant dress. (In this game you evolve Diana based on her stats. If you go Agility purist you'll basically be low def and high dodge/ godly speed attacks. The other paths you can guess how they turn out. Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Agility Purists. The dodge skill is the first skill you unlock with agility path at 100 agi.)

At first I had a lot of problems(I still have some, but not as many), but by looking at the scripts you provided I managed to eventualy figure it out. You provided plenty of features that made it better than I had hoped.

By the way, you said you were using it in remexos, so would you mind posting some of the windows you made for remexos? I'd like to see what the person that made it can really do with it (besides all of the demo windows).

@RoseSkye: The bird system sounds cool, and the HUD and Menu looks awesome! My only thing with the menu is that it looks kinda strange that the character statics are ontop of the menu bars. I think it would look better if they were behind the bars.

@Spoofus, the battle system looks awesome XD. There isn't much else I can say, really. It's pretty cool ^^.

I like the cliffs in the second screenshot, they are really well done.

I would hope so... it took me two hours. It wasn't even all that huge but I kept giving myself harsh criticism. I would finish the map and then go "No, the perspective is off. Remake it and make sure it syncs up next time" and then "No, it's too generic. Delete and remake the map again. If the maps look alike the player will get bored" and then "No, the cliffs don't match up. Even if it's premade you still have to worry about perspective. The player may not know advanced mapping but everyone has a sixth sense that tells them when something doesn't look right." and after all that it was "the map is too empty." and now that I look at the screenies it's "the screen tone seems too purple for a water cave. try to emulate lighting better".

@Tuggernuts: First off let me say that the screenshot looks nice, and is very nicely tinted and fogged to create a nice atmosphere.
However, the bridge on top: Since the camera in Rpg Maker is pretty much exactly 45 degrees, we should also see the cliffs of the end of the bridge, and in this case we don't. So unless the bridge is really, really long (I'm talking about more than hundred meters), there would be the background. Another thing is the "waterfall" that starts out of nowhere. The water would run out very quickly, even if it rained a lot more than it does on that screen, and there wouldn't be a "waterfall". There is also a log out of nowhere on the left, no stump or anything remains but the log is still there.
This might feel like nitpicking, but hard to come up with any else criticism on that map.

It's the RM default bridge tile, not much can be done there.
Also if it's a spring then the water would not run out, mountain springs are common.

If it's not a spring, then perhaps the water is causing little isolated pools to overflow, creating temporary waterfalls.
It looks fine imho.

Springs are underground pools of water (right?) and as much as I know gravity, it wouldn't be on top of a mountain. And I know, it does look fine, but since the map is almost flawless I needed to draw criticism from what I could :)


I have finished another map, and I want to share because this is the real actual castle I've done. The missing shadow on the church is fixed, but I CBA to fix it on the screen anymore.. It has many (and probably then some more) errors on design, since I haven't done structures much, if at all, before. Also the "outside the gates"-green area looks boring because I rushed through it.

So I present to you, a 80x80 castle screenshot, lacking only in NCP's, other events, realism and that one damn shadow.

hey i made a tileset merge which took forever due to the fact that my monitor refuses to display images right in ms paint (took me 2 hours to get it right  :P )

my project takes place underground with modern to futuristic technology
which gives it a unique feel i think(a step away from the medieval theme at least)

i know a few things will be off on in it, remember just a preview sooooo
here it is,it may be small but it is just to show the merge off and how it looks :

If it's just to showcase the tileset: It looks pretty nice actually, you might want to fool around with sharpness, intensity and contrast of the cave-tileset. It looks way too soft there. And just as a tip, Zanyzora (if I remember his name correctly) has ton of cool futuristic resources on his site (should be on google, I'm a little in a hurry now) that you might want to add there.

Springs are underground pools of water (right?) and as much as I know gravity, it wouldn't be on top of a mountain. And I know, it does look fine, but since the map is almost flawless I needed to draw criticism from what I could :)


Springs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_%28hydrosphere%29) very well could be atop mountains.  Ever heard bottled water companies boasting that they get their water from mountain springs?
Quote
A spring--also known as a rising or resurgence--is a component of the hydrosphere. Specifically, it is any natural situation where water flows to the surface of the earth from underground. Thus, a spring is a site where the aquifer surface meets the ground surface.

[map screenshot]


Not bad, though the church seems weird, the tiles on the roof look like the stone path tiles, and the front of it looks like floor tiling as well.  I'd try to make the trees a little less square as well, maybe less use of the autotile, bunched trees look much better than that autotile.

That looks pretty nice. I'd advise making an autotile for the steel wall tops that'll blend with the earthen wall tops.

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

Or you could open up gimp photoshop or whatever. Copy the Rock wall and the steel wall into a new file or new layer. Place the two on two different layers and place the steel wall behind the rock wall.

Grab the lasso tool and make sure anti alias is selected. Draw a roundish curved area over the rock wall and delete it. If you want I could take a crack at it.

Post by: Sase on January 19, 2011, 09:43:47 am
@Rockman: I do know what springs are, but as far as I'm concerned it's not likely that there is a huge water supply inside the mountain that comes out on the top, but this discussion is pointless so no point in continuing it. And about the Castle map; It's actually not an autotile so it's really boring to make it less patterned. I did some fixing now, but it still doesn't look too good. Oh well. And about the church: The roof tile is in fact meant to be a roof tile (at least Inquisitor flagged it with unpassability flag in his demo), but it has the same "texture" as the road, don't know then :/

Seriously, that's fucking cool. One thing that's always bothered me, however, is how exactly you make the bar fill? Like I gave you three pictures, but you aren't using any of them, you're using something in between and I have a funny feeling it's not because you made pictures for every amount of fill.

Back on topic, is this a point and click game? The concept looks amazing and I like the windowskin, but there isn't really much else I can say since there's so little there.

@Tuggernuts: First off let me say that the screenshot looks nice, and is very nicely tinted and fogged to create a nice atmosphere.
However, the bridge on top: Since the camera in Rpg Maker is pretty much exactly 45 degrees, we should also see the cliffs of the end of the bridge, and in this case we don't. So unless the bridge is really, really long (I'm talking about more than hundred meters), there would be the background. Another thing is the "waterfall" that starts out of nowhere. The water would run out very quickly, even if it rained a lot more than it does on that screen, and there wouldn't be a "waterfall". There is also a log out of nowhere on the left, no stump or anything remains but the log is still there.
This might feel like nitpicking, but hard to come up with any else criticism on that map.


Thank you for the compliments.

The bridge on top? It pretty much is there for eye candy I have added in the title system. Example: you choose "new game", he runs across the bridge, to show you the game is starting. I thought it looked nice, and it would be better than total Skyward Sword sky-diving suicide.

The waterfall? Venus(at least in my vision for the game) was a planet rich in liquid methane(it's not water, lol. I still need to recolor all of my water tiles and autotiles.), and as such, is filled with springs that have it emerge from the planet to the surface, which is what you see.

The log? Yeah, that makes sense. I'll fix it.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: ForeverZer0 on January 23, 2011, 12:55:32 am
You do know that methane is not a liquid unless it is under almost 50 times the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere, right?
I had no problem with the well or the bridge, I think they look great, but I may have a hard time buying the whole "liquid methane" thing.

To be honest, your 'new' title screen you made, the text is very hard to read. It kinda blends in with the background and all the decals around the text makes you have to stop and stare a bit at it to make out the letters.

Over all, the text is to busy. Why not try a different font that is easier to read, and maybe arrange the text in something other then a line? Maybe mess with the size some.

Looks a little bit flat. I would suggest not having the top step end evenly with the top edge of the wall. I think you if you shortened them down some, it would help add a sense of height to the wall.

Other than that it looks pretty good. I personally am not a fan of maps where people feel the need to fill every last tile with something, which you thankfully did not do. Being simple and tasteful goes a long way.

Well that is your opinion. I'm not changing it any more then I already had. It is fine, people can read it easily and you see quite a few logos playing with word placements, even in the manner mine is done in.

Look at this
http://brettcisneros3d.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/zestypeppers_logo_small.jpg
That's the same style as mine WAS, with the bigger letters.

Seriously there is no problem with it being how it is, lot of logos play with their word placements-colors-sizes-etc. Now I'd appreciate it if you'd drop it and quit trying to make me change it how 'you' think it should be.

Gee, heavy atmosphere here.

Myself's own opinion though, I'm more personally attached to having the sort of approach where "Bane" and "emons" pretty much trade places (With the exception of that space there). That appeals to me more. Though once I do see the "D", and if I see it first, my eye does follow the trail to make "Demons", and then out comes "Bane"...

I really like the icy effects of it that make it seem a little ethereal.

But enough with this logo stuff (I know winkio, you told everyone to stop, but I wanted to give at least some of my input too xP).

And I'll actually comment on the mapping part of it all. Is the map animated? Does it pan the screen or something? o: I'll have to say that it looks pretty nice. :)

Let's try going in-depth for a bit...

That top-left area looks funky. o_O Is it supposed to be a small protruding lip of the cliff or something? The sudden cliff tile (The lack of a ground-cliff tile rather) was something that threw me off. Maybe a middle ground-cliff tile can help smooth that out?

That's all I can see for now. xD

about yout explenation of how its to be read. your wrong, when you read something, you allways start with the words that begin on top of what you read. just like comics, you will read the top first, the D doesnt say anything. it doesnt make the word go first. because imagen the letters "emons" will become as big as the D, the word "Bane" will be pushed up. ending to be "Bane demons".  

none tried to tell you to change anything, they  gave you simple feedback about whats wrong and whats not. and as stubborn as everyone else, they fought to prove a point. your logo, you choice.

now to your shot, I really like what you did there, since you said evented. is it animated? like you see the water animating in the back?

Looks great! I do not see any problems other than the C and S could use a stronger outer glow.

Despite the lack of shadows, those are literally awesome, though I'm seeing one little place that's not.

The second-to-last screenie of the cave has that ramp thingy, and that looks comparatively ugly. You should probably try and stick something to the sides of that to make it look less like a tile and more like a way up the rocks.

Fishface: Those look pretty good.  My only suggestion is that a lot of the maps look too symmetrical.  Throw some asymmetry in there, it gives maps more life I feel.  If the map needs to be symmetrical (IE inside a building or something), use a few objects or props in asymmetric locations on the map.

It seems to be really popular having a map as a title background :D But I think there is something strange with it. I don't know. It is probably the fact that the color is changing over the screen. You could try remove that.
I also think it would be nice with having like some rain or something like that. Depending on the story, of course.

You want something like this: http://rpgcrisis.net/archive/index.php?/tutorials/article/72-near-fantasticas-light-effects/

You can always edit the script and incorporate different light images.  Much less tedious than doing it for every map, however that would all you more control and everything would be more precise.  You could do the fog method on maps with cutscenes that you want to look really good, and use the dynamic effects script for other maps.

They both look petty good, but whatever one you pick, make sure the black letters in both words use the same saturation. As of right now, the "Chrono" is much darker than the word "Shift".

LOL yeah, I'm not a fan of the big trees, but I really like the little ones. I don't think the char sprites match 100% but I don't really feel like redoing a bunch of npcs/animal/whatever sprites.


These graphics are from Legacy Of Kain: Blood Omen, it really awesome because they are all 32x32 tiles which makes it SO much easier to convert them to tilesets.

Here's a random question: does the size of a tileset affect the running speed of the game at all?

For example, i have 2 tilesets. 1 for indoors, 1 for outdoors both are 256x29984. Does that have any negative impact at all?

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

According to Enterbrain and a few people, yes. But I've never experienced it myself.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on May 22, 2011, 01:52:47 pm
256x29984 * 4 colors means that you game needs about 60 MB of RAM for those two tilesets and it will take some time to load them the first. Keep that in mind because too high loading times can cause a "Scripts is hanging" error.

Yeah, RMXP simply breaks the image into 16 equal parts, no matter the size. The main issue with doing that is it is not smart enough to recognize a larger sprite, and it all areas other than the 32x32 base will be passable, meaning you can have some funky graphical things like the player being able to walk through the sprites sides. :(

Yeah some of the colors I still need to tone down some, and the cabnit is down there for a reason. Sort of 'this person passed on but it's hard to look at their items but don't want to get rid of' sort of deal.

Well, the code generated map looks fine on one side, but the other side is just empty. While the first real map looks good, but still could be filled up a bit, rather than having that empty space. The character creation, could be a bit more attractive, such as a scene or background, etc.

Some screens from an upcoming project.

So, probably no one here knows or at least remembers my first project I started four years ago called Midnight. It was a survival horror game that looked like crap, but had fun gameplay. I made a sequel of a sort called Genesis Project for a contest on this site about two years ago, but always wanted to come back to this again. This is some of the progress:

Spoiler: ShowHide

(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/MSS1.png)

The front foyer as it looks updated. It used to be just a block that was pretty empty, but I think it looks at least a bit better now. Plus the majority of the game is played in darker settings, lit either by your trusty lighter or some flares left by other survivors. You can see that I really like the aura of light effect, too.



(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/MSS2.png)

Just a note, it looks brighter because of the flare from the gun, I caught a kinda awkward moment in the shot. Anyway, uses fast gunplay and tactical evasion just like in Genesis Project. With tighter hallways and more enemies though, evasion will not always be an easy thing to accomplish. I also managed to find a suitable fix for the annoying problem of attacks going through walls, so yay for that too.



(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/MSS3.png)

The knife from Genesis Project is back, and with some actual animation to it. Changes based on the player's direction and the whole works there, but more importantly it's actually a lot more useful in tight situations, such as narrow corridors or driving off an enemy who's got you cornered. Blood looks a bit more realistic too, though it's a work in progress still.



(http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh99/Zylos_2007/MSS4.png)

Fancy that, finding a shotgun in a survival horror. What are the odds? Multiple weapons that you can switch on the fly with the press of a button. So far there's the standard handgun, the quicker but less powerful machine gun, and the monsterous shotgun (which was an utter b!#$@ to sprite), but there's room for one or two more, like hand grenades and perhaps a flare gun.


And quickly...

OLD MAP FROM FOUR YEARS AGO:

NEW MAP FROM TWO DAYS AGO:

That is all.

Thanks Reives, means a lot to hear that from someone I look up to. :3

The animation is not perfect yet, but it's definitely a good bit of progress. The thing I dislike most is the machine gun animation, due to the weapon firing at a fast rate of only two frames between attacks and causing enough lag to screw up the effects.

Just finished a teleporter system that allows you to place a beacon anywhere you want in the game and create a link between that location and your home base. When you interact with the beacon you can also pick it up and place it somewhere else instead

It ended up that I needed a switch for every single map in the game and a condition page that will disable the beacon from turning on if it's already placed on any other map. I will have to do this for every beacon since I plan to allow the player to have multiple teleporters :P :)

If you mean the map in my first screenshot that is the map you start in after the beginning cutscene and it is fairly large. So I am still adding stuff to it and have been for a couple months now. As for how long it took for the initial layout... maybe 4-5 hours?


Here is a screenshot of the whole map:

4 to 5 hours. Thanks for letting me know. I'm working on a modern map and the following took me a very painful 1 hour:
(http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/2766/clipboard01wq.th.jpg) (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/401/clipboard01wq.jpg/)

I have to admit, I never really practiced mapping very much, but it's way more tedious than I had imagined it to be xD

EDIT:
While I'm showing it, I'd like some feedback guys :)
It's not finished, I still have to fill the two blocks in the middle.

Post by: brendan_pr on November 10, 2011, 04:27:22 pm
Looks pretty good for a modern city. My world is dystopian so being messy only helps, yours looks more like reality if that's what you are going for. Still, most cities get dirty, once you have the rest of those squares filled you should scatter some garbage/trash cans around. Get some fog going (or atleast a little screen tint) and some weather and walk around the map looking for anywhere that looks "empty," then fill that spot with something, even if it's just a chunk of concrete on the ground. Also try to keep track of how far apart the debris is. You don't want two of the exact same types of garbage right beside each other



You can also try editing that white ground tile to have a few variations (maybe darker if it's under a fence?). So that you can add dark spots around the edges or around buildings etc. Try and get rid of any areas where there are too many white tiles bunched together. Too much of the same ground tile in one area is never good imo


here's a quick image showing what I mean, the blue side has a different ground texture below the building making it look more seamless:

The guard (part with the triangles) looks massive compared to the grip.

OMG that has to be the biggest map I've ever seen in my life.
Props man, It looks nice compared to my cheap maps lol. I don't know how you put such detail in a huge map.

@blizzard
well it adds more ... "depth" to the game. I can't explain it, but it looks nicer when you only see a certain part of the map, and not the whole map at once. My other choice was to double every sprite size in the game o.o...

I guess the roads can be fixed up one way or another.
Oh, and the tileset was taken from something called Pandora's Box (RMXP Resources). I think it was Game_guy that first told about it in the shoutbox once so i went there and downloaded it.
It's roughly 6Gb of recourses for RPG Maker XP :P

Here is the link to the video that holds all the download links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEbt17X1CBE&feature=my_favorites&list=FLkRQtwCYFoM0WHUPuSKApig
(If you're going to download, read the comments made by me and the replies i got to figure out how to decompress them, it's a bit tricky :P)

Not a bad map but it lacks some details all around. (Apart of the already said squarish problem)

There is several wild grass around this town but not 1 single flower, rock, plants etc etc in the grass? Try add some random stuff so that your map will be more lively :)

You can check my huge map on the previous page to see what I mean on the wild grass being empty.

Honestly, the first thing I thought when I saw the grass over the undulation was that it was a glitch. It's mostly probably because the shade of the grass is the same instead of being somewhat darker.

That looks nice, though the grass in the left corner going over the undulation is too obvious. May want to make it only go slightly over the corners of the undulation only, like it is everywhere else.

If you are able to mimic the shading of the undulation and put that above the grass, it might look better. But otherwise, it's a good thought and with some changes, it might look really good. :)

This button is to switch between monitors (on a dual monitor configuration).

The Dragon sprite is a working in progress sprite (just there to compare with characters size). He will be an static boss (he will be animated but not move, just use breath, magic and melee attack when players get in range)

You should probably add that ABS ASAP just to make sure it doesn't mess with your other scripts.

Your right I'll try blizz abs tomorrow hopefully none of the scripts I'm using gives errors with it. (Specially the Day/Night script that has a very neat hud for showing time and let's me use custom lights during the night as shown in the screen by placing a comment in an event instead of having to make parallel events)

Started recently adding scripts so it was bound to happen. (Tough I got many work to do with creating custom sprites myself and hopefully in the near future some downed sprites for them too.)

Which brings me back to the quality over quantity. You have a lot of maps, but these maps look hastily made. Some feel cluttered, some look like a mess, and others look too bland or empty. I'm no mapper myself, but I feel you can definitely improve. Sit down and spend a good few hours looking over some mapping tutorials and improve your maps rather than focusing on anything else right now. People won't want to play your game if you don't make a good first impression, which is what showing off your maps do.

Post by: djskagnetti on May 21, 2012, 02:12:07 pm
What specifically don't you like about each map?  The first one is a skill shop, each character standing at a desk offers a specific school of skills.  They are all in the same shop because it is set underground and there is only so much room for everything.  The second is the second town set in a small rocky valley.  The third is just the bottom part of a cave where you fight the elemental earth king.  4th is a small room to fight a miniboss to open a door in the fire elemental area.  5th is a large open map called a hunting map, where you can hunt monsters for slightly better gold and xp than average and fight minibosses that will come back after a timer runs out.  6th is just the top part of a large forest, the gravestone thingy leads to a very large cave which leads to another area.  7th is a probably has the least amount of effort I guess, but it is the elemental plane of darkness (one of three that are like this) and is supposed to look like that.  8th is a very large area called Bloo filled with many caves connecting to many different levels of rocky plateaus.  I made a blue fog to go over everything to turn it a haze of blue, the light in the game is cast by the fungi on the walls and ceilings that glow, and in this particular area the fungi makes monsters more docile, so when you are "outside" of caves you are attacked less frequently, but "inside" of caves there is less fungi so you are attacked a lot more.  As it takes place underground, I had to alter/change any battleback that has a sky or sunlight coming through a window, etc. The giant green statue is called the oracle and she etches events that happen in the world into her stonework as time passes.  Maybe a different color would suit her?  Also, the people underground have evolved into all sorts of colored hair/skin over the course of the last 5000 years, many things in their world are not "normal-colored." =)

There is only so much you can do with a 16-bit (or whatever bit it is) game graphic tileset that gives you only so much for options for each set.  Feedback is appreciated, thanks =)

If you where doing the project on vx or vxa I would understand a little but with xp you have 3 layers where you put stuff you can put much more detail in the maps because as others have said theirs many open space.

Ps. If these towns/shops are underground how come they are so well lit?

Those are obviously custom tilesets, any ideas where to find some nice ones?  I like the trees, beds, and bookcases in those pics a lot! =)

It's actually a type of fungi that grows on the walls and ceilings that emits a sort of fluorescent lighting.  In some areas it's almost as bright as the sun would be =)  Inside they use lamps and fires and magic glowing orbs that emit light.  I have added some fogs in areas, but may darken it up a bit in others.

I only map with the given tilesets or some semi-rare tiles of my own.
I also create extremely large maps, and with that given, I can still make some pretty descent maps.

Now, no offense, but I wouldn't play a game with your maps either.
I understand that you are probably new to mapping or just no that good at it, we all have to start somewhere.

A pro tip is to steal with your eyes. Look at other's maps, or read tutorials on how to map better.
It helped me a great lot and I'm sure it will help you too.

Good luck! :)

@dj: I think you need to look into things realistically. I mean yea you can have abstract qualities to your game, but when the maps don't have a path to follow, wrong tile placement, different tilesets combined into one everything just clashes. I would definitely stick to the default RTP tilesets not combined and post in the mapping improvement section until you get the hang of things. Then venture out into custom tilesets/combined tilesets.

Also look at lots of people's maps. They normally have a path that's visible to the eye that you just want to follow with lots of detail in the background of the map. If you make a really busy map your eye will just want to go everywhere and there won't be a set place the player knows to go. Also make realistic buildings. Small buildings have small rooms, big buildings have obviously lots of space to walk around in/lots of rooms. Realistically a river would have waterfalls, animals around it, streams going off, lots of plants around the river and it won't be straight right? Then map it like that. Also look at towns. They normally have one main attraction near the center, with shops and places around there(marketplace) and people's houses are in districts. Normally rich/poor/average neighborhoods. Uhhh deserts are wide open spaces but still create a path to it so the player won't be wondering around... What I do is create cliffs within the desert to create paths that branch off into mazes if you will so the player won't have just a straight path to follow.

Basically what I'm trying to get at is create a path for the player to follow, don't make it straight, add details around the path but not on it so much, emphasize the path, close off things around the path the player doesn't need to get to. Open spaces are bad. If everything is too open then the player will feel bored. Even with enemies and what not it will take them awhile to get where they are trying to go. With a path they already know where they want to go. Also don't make it completely obvious with the path like a random dirt road in a town or something make it realistic. Like dirt roads in forests where there has been lots of travellers but if it's a forest not a lot of people go through then make it subtle like trees around it but have it be the only 'open area' to follow. Just think of things realistically I guess.

I'm way tired and have no idea what all I just said if it makes any sense... Just ask questions if you don't understand what I'm trying to get at and when I'm more awake I'll answer them

I have some quick screens of a map for you guys.

I do have to note that these are not finished, I still need to add more detail and ofcourse events.
So ofcourse, any given input is appreciated.

Big Map

Not at all, just a tileset with the Wall autotile in it and then I just copy the outside map over and guess where the walls would go, the rest is just adding detail and doors and all that.

This way of inside-mapping jumped into my head when reading about people wanting to dim other maps when using your continious maps, Blizz.
In my opinion it works quite well.

Edit : And as for the entering the house, I now have a simple teleporting door. Still need to figure out how to get that smooth, entering-the-house-style teleport.

I see. But I think that somebody actually made a script that can dim parts of the map.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: element on May 23, 2012, 04:01:27 pm
A possible.

Not sure if I want to dim the outside though...

I was thinking of blurring the outside, might give a cool effect. Will probably be a pain in the *** to script though, at least for me.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on May 23, 2012, 04:53:48 pm
It's not the scripting that will cause you problems bug the lag created from blurring. Blurring in itself is a bit of a costly operation, especially if you are running it on the CPU instead of the GPU.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

You don't need to blur it more than once and then just show the already blurred image.. right?

@Mr.Hest: The last of the large images... that map is... amazing. I mean, some elements of the map are just that crazy, missing part-esque style but at the same time it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. It looks really professional. Well done, my good sir.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Vexus on May 24, 2012, 11:36:51 am
@element

1 huge suggestion is use round water, squarish water looks bad.

@Markhest

You have a big habit on making big rooms/maps with many empty spaces you should make them smaller imo it makes them look better.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: MarkHest on May 24, 2012, 11:56:21 am
@Lob & Blizz: Thanks  :haha:

@Vexus: I'm just going to write down my thoughts on this :)

I like empty spaces.
It's nice to have some space to walk around in, right? I personaly don't think that every map have to have a detail put out between every 3th frame and i like when it's open and free. Whenever i leave a place empty i usualy just fill it in with some objekt that you can normally pass through, like a flower or a book or something like that. I don't only focus on what looks best, i mostly focus on what could be real.
I mean, usualy a room have a lot of space in the middle of it so you can walk through it, right?
I try to think on a realistic level more than the normal: "It looks bad, change it so my eyes can be pleased."

I'm sorry, but i am not going to fill my maps with random stuff just because it looks better with less space. I am going to look out my window and analyze how much empty space there should really be and how maps can be more realistic.

-I mean, just because it's unecessary to walk on a specific area(Maybe a big lawn), does it mean i should remove it? Is the owner of the house now allowed to have a big lawn? :(
-Is the town not allowed to be big and leave a lot of space for nature? (As you see in the screenshots. The city likes to leave a lot of space for fields of grass and flowers. It just looks pretty and i think it would in reality too)

Don't get me wrong, I usually listen to critisicm/feedback. However this...
I just felt the need to write this. It bothered me greatly (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29306744/%5E_%5E%20%28drip%29.png)
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Vexus on May 24, 2012, 12:25:16 pm
Up to you, really, mine's just an observation.

Sure in reality outside there is plenty of space where to walk etc but this is a game, maps should be detailed. I'm not saying you should add several things in the middle that block the way or anything but even in the real world unless it's a farm or street there's plenty of stuff around the streets/fields so I don't agree with you.

Also while in houses there certainly is space where to walk I'm 100% sure your indoor map has far too much space in many of your rooms from that last picture you uploaded. Some rooms in particular are the bottom corridors/rooms, the room filled with the red carpet, the room that for some reason has a skeleton and human biology figures in the middle of the room and in particularly the rounded corridor at the bottom.

I sincerely hope you don't think I'm insulting you or saying your maps are crap or anything like that it's just mapping is the best thing I do and I like providing suggestions/criticisms to help people improve since when I needed criticisms/feedback I had people kind enough to help me.  :)
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: MarkHest on May 24, 2012, 01:13:00 pm
No, i never took it as an unsult :haha: . I appriciate that you want to help me and i am glad that people are willing to give me their opinions. I just wanted to state my thoughts because the matter refused to leave my mind :xD: .

But i can understand what you're getting at, i probably will listen to your words and make some maps more detailed. However, i already spent days trying to find the energy to do the town in its current form and i'm kind of worn out on mapping right now.
Cheers man :)

I agree. When mapping I always struggle with overfilling my maps but then not having enough room to do anything in. Its even more important in a BABS game because you need room to fight.

Well yes some space is required to fight but small rooms provide more suspense and more dangerous fights too.

My point was mostly regarding the inside as you can have big open outsides with plenty of details if your confident in your skills, to each their own I guess.

------------

Anyway I need some opinions on some icons and inventory screen layout/style (Not 100% ready yet but the layout is going to be something like that)

These are 2 of 3 icons I currently edited to be shown in my menu:

Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2065/alivemenu.png)


The menu will have only 3 choices:

Inventory
Status
Diary

(Still need to find/create an icon ideal for the diary around 56x56 in size)

And the inventory screen using some edited pcitures by myself (I know it's not that good looking but I tried to make a layout of what there was going to be in it for something better in the future)

Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/824/aliveinventory.png)


There will be 3 inventories that change the size of your bags from 15 slots to 45 slots indicated by the back name over the icon.

So what do you think people? Do you think they fit nice with the game?

Thanks :)

Thanks, and for the grassy stuff, I just followed the rule of blizzard:
Quote from: BlizzardJust throw some more junk on the floor.

I might have overdone it though.

As for the trees, It is true that they are used as water trees most of the time yes.
Not sure about what I'm going to do with them though, I like 'em in the way they're standing here.

Maybe there's some other junk you can throw on the sand instead of the weeds. (They are weeds, aren't they? That's what they look like.) Maybe some of the small rocks/gravel? I think their on a different tileset but you can add it easily.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

I already have a pretty variated tileset.
I played with the maps some more, and made the sand mook more sandy, so without as much of the weeds.
Looks better now.
Though I am gonna keep all the weeds on the grassy part for now I think.

@thallion: I really like the density of trees in your forest map. I would definitely recommend getting a master tile set so you can have more diversity in vegetation, but overall well done. I think there is a tile set that would be better suited to a swamp type of  environment, as the contrast of green and square water doesn't do your concept justice. your final screenshot is pretty nice but watch those stairs something doesn't look quite right there. I see you're a fan of the floating crystal.

I wouldn't suggest a master tileset as larger tilesets increase lag. However, you can combine a few tilesets to get more variaty.

@Thallion your best one of the 4 of them is the one on the beach, it has enough detail to not look bland/empty but not too much that makes it look flooded.

A slight suggestion would be to remove the trees and branches from the deep water, leave them on the first and second level of water depth.

I personally like lots of things on the ground, but it has to be done aesthetically. I like complexity personally, but some people like the clean, simple look. As long as you don't have the same kind of plant/flower/tree placed to many times in a small area, you'll be fine. I just try to mimic nature as much as possible. I take google images of stuff and try to emulate what I see with the tileset I'm working with. Tends to give me ideas.

From experience, on a 2.5 inch screen (e.g. iPhone), you can put 7 menu items vertically and they won't be too small. 8 can work out, too, but everything beyond 8 starts causing problems and pixel-poking.

Ok here's an interactive cutscene screenshot I took...
basically I removed visible tilesets and added walkable invisible ones, then placed a long panorama
and finally replaced the player sprites for crosshairs to give out a fake first person view perspective.

moving the crosshair (player) sprite makes the panorama also move along with it giving it the sense of the player rotating to get a better view.

here's the pic:

also note how in the HUD it says there's oxygen in "deep space" well first of all... no this is not a mistake

in a VR simulation all this time. (you can only get this cutscene in one section of the game im working at)

Ya I see what you mean. I didn't put a whole lot of effort into that corner of the map, because the bulk of it is outside the visual range of the player. A lot of my maps have large incomplete areas because they simply aren't seen in play do to passage restrictions and design. Putting that aside, I have been going back and breaking up the waterfalls that ARE visable in other areas. I add smaller versions of that mid-waterfall island, or thin rock walls to spruce it up.

What I really need to do is make some custom rocks, like stones that can just stick out of rock faces, waterfalls, etc. If I make them taper off to a point at the bottom, I can avoid having large amounts of unnatural perfectly straight columns in my landscape......

City: ShowHide
(http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u499/Landith1/ProspectsTownScene1.png)


I feel as if the Church tileset needs more... I am using Blizz's edited church from CoSLaL, as I love the corner piece that isn't in the original. I still feel it needs more to it though, the whole church is seemingly bland :/

Also, a quick cutscene whenever you enter the city as the clock says 3 o'clock you are in a rush for a reason  ;).
(I am going to find a way to have that clock be a 'real time' clock for the game. Being it will turn dark around 7 pm-ish and day around 9 am-ish. Probably no practical use except for this one cutscene, but it might add a touch of realism in the game having it there.)

You can always add chairs, benches, drawers, etc etc in your church to make it look better.

I would post a screen of a church of mine but it doesn't have the diagonal corridors so I don't think it would help.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on June 10, 2012, 05:34:24 am
@Landith: So far no game really made the realtime thing work so well and I suggest you don't try it either. If you want an ingame clock, that's cool, but don't make it connected to the real world. We once had a discussion on this.
BTW, the maps look awesome. <3
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on June 10, 2012, 04:23:12 pm
Oh no I didn't mean actual real time :P I meant based on yours and Fugibo(LongFellow)'s ATES. Like if you were to sit and watch the clock go to 7 pm it would fade to night, etc... I'm sure I could get it to work with the day and night switches but I just need to find a way to update it based on whatever time it is when you enter the town :P

Church Outside: ShowHide

Thank you, thank you<3

That map is actually based off of an old church map I mapped for one of my games that fell through, just revamped to give it an abandoned/run-down feel. The only thing left is to recolor the pillars/entrance as well as the rails/stairs to match the overall feel of the map. Oh and make the over hanging banners, stand-alone banners have some tears in it(as well as recolor the stand-alone ones to match the hanging).

Cosmetic Lighting attempt #1, yay or nay?
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on June 22, 2012, 05:34:09 am
Quick question. When you move around in the previous screenshot, does the lighting map move around as well? I'm thinking of adding lighting maps in CP just for the lulz.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on June 22, 2012, 09:50:24 am
Yes, what you do is have a film layer by taking a screenshot in the editor at 100% then adding black to where you don't want the light to be, then import it as a fog layer so when you move around it doesn't just stay there. You can have a picture if your map is the default size as the screen won't move around. That particular image looks like:

Spoiler: ShowHide

but you can have images as big as

(I'm still not completely satisfied with the church yet but ehh... I'll get around to fixing it.

Every map of mine that is inside will have cosmetic lighting though, as it adds that nice touch to your game.

In other words, the game will have lots of MB because of the fogs. I'll think about it.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on June 22, 2012, 11:33:18 am
The second fog image is 1088x736 and still is only 93kb so your still looking at 1MB per every 10-12 or so fogs of that size. But for a game as big as CP I can see where you're coming from :P
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on June 22, 2012, 12:04:20 pm
829 maps. ._. And that's without BE. ._. It would literally double the game's size. xD But I guess I don't have to make it in every map. e.g. No point in making lighting in outdoor maps.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on June 22, 2012, 12:09:46 pm
Definitely not lol

The small maps that are like shops and whatnot are normally ~20-30KB so it's not too bad at all and since I'm probably only going to have about 150 or so maps it shouldn't increase the filesize too much

The only hassle is how long it takes each map to do.

Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Blizzard on July 06, 2012, 07:12:51 pm
The stairs are weird. The big stairs look like they are already going to the top and the small stairs are kind of redundant. If you split the big stairs into two halves, you can actually see it. If you walked up the "left" half , you get to the tile in between the stairs. But if you walked up the "right" half, you basically hit the small stairs once you get to the top of the big stairs.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Landith on July 06, 2012, 07:26:04 pm
Ahhh yea I see what you mean, I'll play with it and see how it looks. I put the small stairs there because I thought it was weird not having them there..it looked odd to me.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Boba Fett Link on July 07, 2012, 12:17:37 pm
The RTP's viewpoint only shows walls facing down. Look at one of the cave tilesets to see my point.

The walls facing down are visible, the left and right aren't, and the up ones are passable because they block the player's view of the ground.

Your walls are visible from both the left and right, and based off the corners the up ones aren't passable.

I can see where you're going with those stairs, and the perspective looks right to me. I think I can throw together a quick edit you could throw in your tileset to fix it.

Edit ::

Here's an edit and a mini-guide on how to use the two new tiles, if you like them.


Before and after (big-ish)
Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://mroedesigns.webs.com/dat/beforeafter.png)


Usage (if you like it)
Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://mroedesigns.webs.com/dat/tiles.png)
Save that image. Open your tileset in photoshop or paint. Stretch the bottom of the canvas down, and paste the image in. Be sure to check that it is aligned correctly with the grid.

(http://mroedesigns.webs.com/dat/usage.png)
The bottom tile is the same, Replace the stair tile and the tile above it with the two new tiles.

Enjoy!


One more piece of advice. The tiles to the left and right of the top of the stairs are corner pieces, not end pieces. I think using end pieces would look a little bit better with this edit.

If you're talking about the red and orange thing, those are roofs. Look at the default Castle Town tileset, those are what are on it.

I probably won't be the last to mention it, but the bridges in the first picture bug me. With them being perpendicular to each other, the "natural" flow of the bridge doesn't work right. Maybe if the edges weren't so refined (aka less obvious that there is a clear separation between the two bridge directions) or if there was like a square platform between the joints.

I do like the concept.

hmm...that doesn't personally bother me, but let me look into that.

it's too late to make the edits now; i'm heading to bed, but i've done a little browsing and i have a solution for the problem which will also give the player a greater variety on constructing their tree top village. i'll get around to posting the updates sometime later this week hopefully.

A lot of it comes from the tilesets you use.  Those maps use custom tilesets where basically a lot of stuff is just merged.  What that gives you is a lot more visual variety which makes maps look more interesting.  At least to a point...  Which is also a suggestion for your map.  Just a bit more visual variety.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread

Yeah, I had to correct some of the tileset pieces where they were off balance and smaller than usual, the screenshot was testing it to see if everything looked the size and positions they should be at.
I posted that picture cause not a lot of people here use that graphic style and it is something different besides the typical RMXP tilesets you see.

Do you think the darker grass seems off because of how dark it is? I've actually never made it that dark before. It also could be because I made it really square lol. All shall come together in the end :D

If the grass were found in separate areas, it'd look good. But as of now, the contrast in lighting is too much for the two to blend together.

Also the tree foliage reminds me of old-school computer game graphics. The purple really brings that feeling out.

You definitely have come a long way with your graphics, man. I like the style. :D

Howdy all. I have been reading threads in this forum for the past two months as I've taught myself to use RPGMaker XP and Blizz Abs.

This resource has been amazing; thank you to everyone in this community for developing such amazing scripts, and creating such an amazing support structure!

I've been working on a game centered around Blizz abs; here's some screenies from the first hour of gameplay (a foreboding cave)
Spoiler: ShowHide

And here's some random shots from other parts of the game:
Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag70/shek333/add1_zps01190154.png)



(So far I have about 3 hours of gameplay done, with about 9 fully scripted boss fights (enemies have a variety of phases, scripted movement patterns, enrage mechanics etc).  Sadly with each new map that I paint in photoshop, I get better at it.  So the stuff I made before looks so bad that it doesn't mesh well with the art I'm outputting now.

Some other perks include: Visual Equipment, full crafting system, on-the-fly shapechanging (you transform into various beasts with their own skill sets), fully customizable character builds with stat allocation, lots of love...

I'm not a seasoned RMXP pro, but I'm putting a ton of effort intro trying to make a game with fantastic gameplay that really pushes Blizz Abs to the limit.

Thanks for looking,
Shek

Updated my Balance Counter system, now when close to either side of the scale the screen begins to change colors

[Pre "Forced-Rapture" event, with on-screen warning]

when approaching "forced rapture" screen goes more and more monotone (save for some details), when you reach the 90% mark on "good" you'll
get this bright red visual cue meaning one more mistake or event that alters the balance towards good will instantly trigger the forced rapture event
and get a game over.

the "Gates of Hell" event is similar, however the screen grows red instead of monotone.

on a sidenote: NPC's get more frantic (or entranced in the case of forced rapture) dialogue depending how close you are to a game over.

@RAVSO:
maybe it's just my OCD but the stairs at the middle of the screen are supposed to be 1 tile longer. Also I'm curious why you have leaves in your fog when it looks more like a desert. The effect itself looks nice though, especially the red lights in contrast to the monochrome background.

ah well you see, the stairs in the middle are technically supposed to be 1 1/2 tiles long (assuming that's how I did the indoor stairs) but the tileset
only provided a full tile for the stairs and no tiles split in half, having 2 full stairs would have made the whole building look a bit more weird.

as for the leaves... well geographically speaking, the whole area is a huge canopy, while the area on the screenshot is actually the underneath of
such canopy, there's actually leaves on the ground, while cliffs have been stripped of all vegetation (it's a settlement)
later in-game you can actually get to those stairs in the back and scale outside of the cliff and into the canopy itself

here's a more colorful pic for comparison:

as you may have also noticed:
Spoiler: ShowHide
Vegetation isn't growing on such cliff because it's not truly a cliff to begin with... with a late-game item you can actually go explore the insides of such cliff.


on a sidenote, NPC's now have different comments depending on how bad the scale is getting tilted

actually that's the 8 way movement script, apparently lets you move characters in near pixel by pixel in 8 different directions instead of the classic 4
it also gives me more freedom when making maps where moving in diagonal would have been tedious XD

sadly this only applies to the player character, while other NPC's are still bound to the tileset grid, also if you trigger an event while not properly
alligned, the next (evented) move you take snaps you back to the grid.

you should keep it IMO... yes good looking tilesets are the hardest to properly implement, but when done right
they can easily make the best maps your project has,

I've seen people use rather simple tilesets and still manage to pull out really good results, that tileset in particular
looks pretty sweet and it would be such a waste to just give up on it...

I assume you use 8 way and pixel movement in your game? The maps look amazing but the RTP sprites bug the hell out of me. You look like you put a good amount of effort into your maps, is there a reason that you can't do sprites or you just don't feel like it? I know, I'm repeating myself but it would make the overall look ten times better.

Here's couple more screenshots, this time of a cave. The BlizzABS HUD is turned off because I haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

@Sase
That cave looks fantastic,
and your main character sprite looks good too.  Looks like he has some pretty solid attack animations.

Originally when I started this project I planned to just use the RTP for everything - the goal was to make an extremely fast paced gameplay oriented A-RPG with Blizz Abs; about 100 hours into development I got sick of the appearance of tile-sets and started painting the maps like in FF7, Chrono Cross etc.  I'm only one guy and I work a full-time job, and I want to actually finish this game, so I have to triage priorities.

1) Great gameplay and combat
2) Great immersive maps
3) Custom tailored soundtrack (I am a concert pianist professionally, so I plan on tailoring the score on a scene to scene basis)
4) Voice acting on every line of dialogue
5) THEN once I have a working game I can go back and redesign many sprites

I've never painted sprites before, so if you have any advice on some learning resources that really helped you, let me know!

@Blizzard @Shek
Thanks, unfortunately I haven't done any of the sprites myself so of course they look good x)

@Shek
Pre-rendered maps (à la Playstation-era Final Fantasy) must take an enormous amount of time. Unfortunately I'm not that good at making animated characters either. When you think you'll start doing them, I suggest you google different kinds of sprite templates and study them a bit, what makes the sprite look fluid and look like it's actually moving. Of course you don't NEED to do it, graphics are just icing on the cake on RPG's.
Also, concert pianist. That's cool. I don't have any musical background other than what I've taught myself, but I'm doing my soundtrack from scratch too. Maybe we could share some work :)

@_elvenheart
Your HUD looks dope, your character looks dope. The map is good too, but they don't mix that well together. Have you thought about doing different HUDs for different parts of the game (like in Kingdom Hearts 2)? If that map is just to show off the sprite, then I can live with it :)

Some of my wonderland tiles. They are mainly a repurpose of the tiles I made for my unnamed rpg project (that is now paused for kh).
(http://i.imgur.com/EgFp1gc.png)

Wonderland as seen on the ABC show "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland". I made the decision to add this world a few days back when I learned that wonderland would be canceled after its first season. Since it was the only show I've actually liked on ABC (besides the wednesday night line-up), I thought it would be cool and totally acceptable to add to my game. (Since it is 'Wonderland', a disney based story).

It doesn't look to wonderland ish right now, but after I add some fancy mushrooms, fairies, and a cool fog effect I want to try out, it will looks sweet.

While Disney did make a movie based off of the story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," it's not like Disney OWNS the idea of Wonderland (not yet that is *evil_monopolizing_mickey_face*).

Basically, what you are doing is turning the "HAPPY BRIGHT COLORS OF MAGIC AND STUFF" into a grittier, darker version. Maybe like "This land seems all too familiar yet different at the same time" kind of mood.

KK20 is right. Alice in Wonderland is public domain as are many other stories that Disney made into movies and cartoons. Their "performance" of Alice in Wonderland is copyrighted, though. That means while you can use anything from the original and add your own stuff, you can't use anything that Disney created.

OMG!!! That looks amazing. I've never seen spriterips look so good in an RM engine. Those ARE rips right? If not, I think you're owed more than just a few kudos :P

:o Well first, hallooow
Second, actually the only rip is the character and his face. The character sprite is not really a direct rip either xD
Aside from that I made most of the tiles and mixed in some rtp with it. I'm actually not using this tileset anymore so anyone interested can have it by PM

Mixing scripts and events to make an alternate Game Over screen for my project,
since I control it via common event I can modify the last screen (actual game over call) to display different causes of death.

basically the static is actually a short animated AVI file, followed by the actual game over screen,
since the avi ends with a black screen, when the game over image is called, it gives the illusion of white letters appearing from the dark.

The avi plays flawlessly however there are some issues with the common event itself,

basically when you hit 0 HP, I have the following event happen:

1- bgm & sfx fade away in 10 frames, (works properly)

2- screen goes black & white in 10-20 frames (works properly)

3- while the screen goes B&W play a certain sfx (works properly)

4- change background color to full black in 1frame THEN proceed to play AVI file (works properly)

5- once AVI ends THEN I call the game over screen, (has issues)

this is where my problems start, you see since I already made the background fully black, the transition should NEVER be
noticed, however there is one small issue.... the battle windows.
Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://oi60.tinypic.com/102pedf.jpg)

it just breaks the effect down,

and well being the script-oblivious person that I am I still haven't figured out a way to get rid of the battle screen on a step
below before calling the game over screen, it doesn't help that it's also a custom battle system (RTAB to be precise) and I'm not
sure if it handles battle windows any different D:

anyone know how to call those windows off?

Don't have much to show.. yet.
Have a cliff, the tree, some weeds,.. and some very tiny flowers  :^_^':

I also created standing frames for two of the heroes, they are Kaeli and Tristam.
By this time i've put in a bit more work on the tree and grass, though you could not see that in the thread title image very well before.
Since i'm working with the blown up spritework for XP i can also add some nice detail here and there, such as the very small flowers.
Also plan to add more pieces to the cliff, pieces that jut forward, cavern entrances and more.

Thank you.
I think i will change the cliff look though, i want something more grey-ish (with a slight green tint), and this one might just be better suited for caverns since it looks more earthy.

I was looking through the ARC section and i really like your diagonal sand tiles.
But I don't see any new posts in there though, or did you and the others guys decide to keep it all secret?

Very nice of you, thanks.
The only reason i wont use it is because i prefer to work on these things from scratch :D

If you ever want to work in the same manner i am (or use RM2k3) than i'd be happy to let you guys use my character template, i only have to make the child, and a female body type is not necessary.

Bah, i forgot, there are many templates available for it anyway.. XD.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Zexion on August 03, 2014, 06:05:11 pm
I really should work with templates, but I don't have the patience to sprite the entire body in multiple poses, and thenn add the details. I'd rather just do it in one go >.> Which is why my animations look nasteh
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: SpritingNomad on August 03, 2014, 07:21:22 pm
I'm the same, which is why i opted to use the smaller characters in the end.
It's a better way to go when working on your own, and believe me, it is easier to do this sort of thing with smaller character sets, especially spriting clothes and hair  ;)
It still takes time, but nowhere near as much as working with the standard size for RMXP or even RMVX sprites.

IMO this is how the RTP should have been worked on for ARC, there are many people that do not know how to sprite well, and the smaller templates/character sets would be more forgiving, easier and faster to fix mistakes.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Zexion on August 03, 2014, 07:39:01 pm
Yeah smaller characters are fun and all but I feel that larger characters with tons of frames bring more life to the game o.o
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Spaceman McConaughey on August 04, 2014, 06:39:38 am
Eh, large characters seem off in a 640x480 game, I think.
What comes to mind is this kaizer template (or whatever they called it), for RMXP.
Was from years ago, and it didn't look right at all.

Though, your use of KH sprites seems good, and I'd say that's because they're more medium than large.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: SpritingNomad on August 04, 2014, 11:06:40 am
They certainly help, but you don't need big graphics or characters with six frames or more to make a game feel alive, take Aria Fell (2k3 game) for example, that first town alone feels more alive than anything I've seen created in Rmvx or Xp yet.
It's more to do with atmosphere, story, and clever mapping, decent graphics can get the job done.

The Kaiser template is great, but yeah the bigger you get the more frames you need to add or the movement looks choppy,  you can fix that some by having the arms and legs not swing as far.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: Zexion on August 04, 2014, 06:27:42 pm
Yeah, I never really liked kaiser. I think it's based of ragnarok online, but still.. I have yet to see anything really good with them. I probably meant medium size like Blinx metioned xD
Also, of course it's totally doable, to create an atmosphere without highly detailed character sheets, but I feel that it helps to have bigger charsets more than it hurts. Though, I've played some 2k3 that were more immersive than any rmxp game I've played.

Also, just to stay on topic:
Spoiler: ShowHide
(http://i.imgur.com/66EbU1j.png)
A few things going on in this pic.
  • Sprite of the female character. (woo)
  • Beta stage. This will be in the final as one of those things I just leave in, but you'll need to hack to get it (I kinda encourage the hacking for some reason)
  • Scripted battle system - So far it's in the very early stages, but the player can basically already do what I showed in the previous gifs. Except it's scripted this time
  • New screenshot template - Basically the glass effect thing, and the black/white UI isn't real, but I wanted a matching UI for all screenshots from here on out. (it's the artsy in me)
    The best thing to note, battles are not on the map anymore, so after I implement a few things, I can do battles from the editor. (woo)

A screenshot to make up for all my jabbering  ;)
I still have to do a few things, such as make an alternate grass tile to break up the repetition, same for cliff face.
I have also decreased saturation on tree all around, thinking about doing the same for the character, at least a tad.
Ah, and i've recreated the chest, and enlarged the flowers.

SpritingNomad: It looks good but I don't like some things about the resolution, it all looks like it's zoomed 2x except flowers and some parts on the tree, and it looks a bit weird. You should change it all to the same resolution.

Here's my attempt on fixing it, and I changed also one of the palette greens so grass looks a bit more natural. Hope you will take in consideration my critique, anyway I like so much the style you are giving to your game.

http://oi62.tinypic.com/291z4gj.jpg

Make sure to make corners for that cliffs too ;D
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: SpritingNomad on August 08, 2014, 10:22:28 pm
The smaller pixel use is actually something i like a lot, i think this will be great for little details like smaller bottles, quills, writing on the books and such, but thinking it over i may have gone a bit overboard on the tree.. I do love the 2x look so i will cut back ;)

I like that color for the grass, but it's a bit too dark, especially for the sides and corners of the cliff top, i will look into lowering the brightness and raising saturation a bit to get closer to that soft look without going too dark.

Yet to add those cliff corners :D, took a break by working on a battler, which i'm sketching out with pencil instead of the mouse, but i'm thinking of a side view system all of a sudden..

Really appreciate the tips, Wecoc, please keep it coming!
I will upload another screenshot very soon.

Think i found a happy medium, but i need to play a little more with the color.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: SpritingNomad on August 17, 2014, 01:01:49 pm
Howdy! A screenshot to show that i'm still working on this.
I've yet to add a few more things like the water auto tile, rotting logs/trunks, bird nests, bushes, a hole for the ground (2 diff sizes), and possibly a tile for spots where you can jump off the cliff.
The small tree still needs a bit more work, and i already have a some other alternate tiles for the cliff face (not present here) which i need to make for the sides of the cliff too.
As you guys can see i also fixed up the main grass, not very repetitious by itself anymore, i did make an alternate grass tile (still one or two more.. i think) but i forgot to add that to the map.
Forgot, also been working on extra pieces for the tree, for clumping stuff together in some ways.

I've created a new original monster, a type of fish-toad creature that drags itself along the ground using it's hind legs.
Have it in mind to make it a healing monster with high defense, it will appear in the first zone along with the Brownie Goblins and Slimes (which i will also add something to).

Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that i'm still about, it's not the best screenshot but more coming soon.

ah, ive also worked on an extra skin color, which you can see.

Are the graphics all edited rips? I see somethings i never saw but i don't keep up with the LOZ games much.

Take my advice with a grain of salt, but i think Links duds look too bland, maybe increasing the lighting, or saturation on the greens would make him stand out some more.
Flags look cool, do they move in four frames or more?

It's from the Project Zelda Engine, so it's ripped from A Link to the Past and Minish Cap, and some Zelda GameBoy tiles too ^^

It might not seem like a lot that I can reveal in there, but in a nutshell:

-Proximity based SFX, you can hear the water flow of the fountain on the right the closer you get to it, the farther you get away
  the fountain's water sfx stops.

The bottom image only showcases the entrance to the city.

Also as a second easter egg for the upcoming demo.... well.... let's just say I've had so much fun replacing the

It has no use, but I can't think of anything to fill that empty space and it irks me big time!

2] The Picture - I might have to keep on editing the colors to make it more "brownish" to fit with the screen. Or should I keep it as is?

So much shiny *_*

Might just be me, but there's an abnormally large usage of plants spread around your maps. Even if they might be for cutscenes or "out of reach" areas, it seems a bit too cluttered and abnormal (in a chaotic sense). Nevertheless, your maps still feel very natural which is something I don't get why many users typically fail to do.
Title: Re: Screenshot Thread
Post by: syldocaine on May 21, 2015, 05:34:30 am
Yeah these shiny things are the style of the whole game world.
It's a floating world above an ocean of magical energy. Very much high fantasy, i know, but im a fan of this.

You mentioned the large amount of grass, plants and so on. Yes, thats a little bit odd, but everytime I try to place less of them I get the feeling that my maps are looking empty. Seems to be an issue of mine.
+ I have to say that many of these objects on the ground are collectable materials for the crafting so without the grass it could be possible to "clean out" the whole place at some points  :haha:

Don't turn into Zexion (http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?action=profile;u=939), who wows us with screenshots and then abandons the project :V:

Hehe, I will definitely finish the project even if it already has taken a bit longer than planned, of course I will keep the forum updated as well!

I really like the old RTP style as well and I will admit that the mushrooms and dead tree (you only see half of it) is HEAVILY inspired by that RTP.
The eyes of the characters also use the same style as the standard sprites, it just looks the best to me.

Anyway, I am happy with the work so far and it is a big improvement from past creations!

I'm just a plot device. xD I literally manipulate so shit happens and I do some stuff like "scripting open a portal" so the plot can progress.

My favourite RPG Maker games tended to do that, including the author in some sort of way. It was so dumb but was made for jokes.
Is there a battler of you to take as a reference? I think I could think about adding a Blizzard somewhere x'D.

Some screens of my game, Drekirökr.
