woooo battlebacks!

[kspr]

here is the whole map of the first island. things are turned to reflect their real directions. the misplaced forest has an anti-logic field that makes mapping it impossible.

Interesting world.

new demo!

[kspr]

Back to work tonight. Here's a taste of what's to come:

[kspr]

and a month after saying i was back to work, i'm REALLY back to work. this is what an hour got me:




That's the grass tile with all the layers and paths showing.

[kspr]

After i finish the tileset conversion, this is my collage guide for what i want the title screen to resemble. any suggestions?

You might try a shadow or outline around the text to make it easier to read.

[kspr]

moar from the graphical transition. little by little it's getting done.

[kspr]

i think i have to redo the battler for my main character. i made him in hero maker 3, and it looks a lot better than what i had drawn.




vs this:

[kspr]

Some sort of demon summoned by this cult. haven't quite gotten that far, so this may change

This is one of the many battle themes i'm putting together. This one is from a Children Of Bodom song, and is just two parts looped. the other songs i'm eyeing for this are from Dream Theater. I was working with a MIDI of Achille's Last Stand by Led Zepplin, but it wasn't working out as a battle theme.

I must have missed the post with the tentative demon. I like the brush or whatever it is that you used to do the body, but the design seems rather normal compared to most of your other monsters.

I'm liking the battle theme. I hear a bit of a hiccup when it loops, but that may just be my player.

EDIT: I just realized that I left the battle theme looping in the background for like 10 minutes.

[kspr]

i guess thats a good thing if you didnt notice. i think i know where the hiccup is, and i can cut it out. the demon should have been more bearlike. that one may be relegated to a more peripheral role once i get to it. ive been trying to come up with different endings ala chrono trigger. so far i have two.

Edit: Battle Theme #2 done. This is a section of Dream Theater's YTSE Jam from Once In A Livetime. i think i want to use this as a boss theme.

Battle 2 is definitely a boss theme.
I like Battle 3, but it's hard to tell what you might use it for. Sounds like it might suit a recurring boss/rival fight so that the player would associate the music with the character.

[kspr]

i ditched the achille's last stand as a battle theme for now. it has too much of a 'Zero' feel to it.

finished a new battle theme, and found two older ones i forgot about entirely. i really like the program i'm using, Acid Pro, although i have to burn it to a cd and re-rip it before it will communicate with rmxp.

Heh, yeah, I do kinda get a Zero vibe from that theme. But I like Zero, so that's not a con for me. =p

I like the new Battle 3, but it feels inconsistent. The beginning sounds like a fight with a big bad, but then it transitions into heroic adventure music around 0:33.

Lair Battle sounds like it could be an alternate bgm for the Magitek Factory. xp
Seems well suited to one of those "wtf am I fighting?" battles, like Giygas or something.

Same thing with Lair Song 3, except obviously for the area leading up to the "wtf" fight.
Sounds like an ice cream truck going through that LIMBO game.

*Lets Battle 1 loop for a bit (on purpose this time) while doing other stuff*

[kspr]

it's from one of the antoagonist's dungeons. he imprisons the main characters in some sort of hivemind mcguffin that forces them to relive painful memories. the music is supposed to be disorienting and atonal.

[Stars]

*gives the music another listen with that in mind*

Sounds like a success. xp
