I'm a very slow person. =(

I'd like to see in game screenies though.

[AznChipmunk]

Haven't got anything else yet. I'm gonna make custom sprites for all the graphics, and I started this about two days ago. And I'm grounded so I can't spend much time on my comp.

Ugh, it's been nearly a year (?) since I've seriously mapped something. I'm really really rusty, but I do plan to keep mapping, so expect my skills to get better. I never did like mapping. >.>

[Stars]

Not bad considering we don't get to see very much of the map. I've mostly been seeing screen shots from people who are new to the program, so it's nice to see a map that's not just four walls surrounding a big empty space. =p

I'd just suggest adding some not-brown colors to it, like a couples vines or tiny patches of grass to add a splash of green or something.

[Amethyst]

It's a very tidy cave. I agree, other colors would help... Also, some loose rocks and such.

Although this is picky, you only have one spot there where the ceiling level changes, and that's because of the elevated floor tiles, so you may want to switch up the ceiling elevation in some other places too, for continuity.

Here's what I've been working on lately:


For a contest on RPG RPG Revolution

somebody likes them some Led Zepplin. three years late, but what was it about?

[dhm]

Working on an interface.

[Stars]

Per chance can you move your characters around on those 9 spots on the right (and enemies on the other 9)? I tried to come up with a good system that did something like that once, but I couldn't think of any good ways to implement it. Or I got lazy. Can't remember which.
Also, I'm assuming that's an action queue on the left side?

I find myself intrigued by this interface test.

[kspr]

curse you and your hidden /crap/ folder!

Three years late indeed; I can't even remember by now.

Yes and yes. I'm trying to blend some tactical elements with the traditional side-view system and sprinkle in a bit of other ideas I think are neat.

Lol, 403 Forbidden -- You don't have permission to access /crap/ on this server.
It's actually a server-wide configuration. I don't pay for my webserver so I can't complain. (I could put in a custom index, but then you'd see all my... crap.)

[kspr]

i'm not trying to spy or anything, i despise rm2k3. too much work with the battlecharsets for me. i just want to see more of it.


sorry if this turns out huge. I took screenshots of all my important non-cave maps, along with two important caves, to attempted to create some sort of representation of what my world map would look like so far. some of the maps are rotated to show how they would fit in. Mount Athos should be rotated 90* counterclockwise, but i didnt realize i left it until after i saved the image and closed everything out. other things like the Misplaced Forest exist in a way that is outside normal logic and mapability, so i just left it as one big map like it is in the editor. this all represents the first big island's worth of chapters in my game.

[dhm]

@Kasper that's a huge map. o_o

I've improved the interface a bit, I think.

[Stars]

The more angled view you first posted was kinda cool, but the second version is definitely cleaner. Better to have more of the screen filled with action rather than menus. :p

[kspr]

@dhm- it's a bunch of maps pasted together to try to give some representation of what the world cohesively looks like. the technical limitations of which way buildings can face has always frustrated me. i'd much rather they face all different directions like they would in real life. the same thing with area maps too, they always end up getting turned on their sides, and end up looking a certain way simply because they cant look any other way and still be playable.

I like your new interface a lot more than the one your demo has now. like stars said, it's a ton cleaner. but why isn't the flee command in there with abilities, essence, and items?

I forgot. I'll add it though.

Here's a messagebox I just did. I'm probably going to change the running HUD so it isn't overlapped and clean up a bit of the art/add a border around the name.

[SpazCat]

deaf-mutes huh? Sounds awesome. I still need to try this game out.

I have so much to do!

You're game is looking pretty good.

[Monkeydog]

I already posted on Facebook that that has the best dialogue.

I like the boxes though. But I agree with the no overlapping and putting a box or something around the name. It'd make it all look a bit cleaner.

[kspr]

^That, and maybe moving the box around based on where the characters are onscreen so they're not being covered either.
