As you can see, the only necessary info is a username and a password. Super simple!

Until someone needs to recover their password. I strongly recommend that you require an e-mail.

You have the ability to set one later on. A lot of people requested that I remove the email option and to be honest I agree with them; the amount of people that use throwaway emails these days makes it pretty redundant a requirement. It also lets people get straight into the game without worrying about such things.

As much as I hate to compare myself to RuneScape, they lasted 10 years without emails as a requirement and it made the whole signing up process so simple.

I'm baaaaaaack! (If you don't remember me, I'm Alchemy/AlchemyX/Little AlchemyX - Um... the games "Darkest Knight" (RM2k3) and "Mr. Blue's Misadventures" (Game Maker). If you still don't remember me, you probably never knew me... It's been awhile :-P Oh and whats up with GamingW? How long has the orum been on Salt? What's SaltW?)

VERY early screenshots of my new project - a Free-Roaming, alignment driven Tactical RPG for Android and iPhone, full touch screen support, yadda yadda yadda. (Tilesets courtesy of the Breeze team and RPG RPG Revolution)

(PS, these are NOT concept images, they're real screenshots of the running game)

Update #1

EDIT: OK, I think it's a lot better now. How's this?

The eyes are just too big and the mouth ends too high making them look stoned. Unless that's the look you're going for.

And one more...

You said this was going on the iPhone and Android, right?  Maybe it looks different on the actual device but aren't the controls and everything else going to be way too small?  It'd probably be fine on iPad but the joystick and everything else seem like they're taking up a very small portion of the screen.

You know, I think you're right. I just threw a screenshot on my phone as a kind of "live mockup"... The battle controls and everything seem alright, but the joystick and the confirm/cancel buttons need to be a little bigger.

That looks neat, Aeltrius.

Dicko - I'm not really sure what to think of your screenshots, but it's very original, so thumbs up there ;-)

EDIT: Removed bugged youtube video.

So I'm honestly really curious why you are baiting people to click an image of a fake Youtube video just so people will watch your 2 second sped up video which shows almost nothing about your project.

I was fairly interested in your game before this (I lurk, a lot), but now I'm quite turned off by what you did with that video.

this doesn't actually happen in-game.

but it's pretty close.

Skarik, that looks incredible! Are those all in game screens or mock ups?

Soerry about that, Dust. Youtube uber failed on me, the video got stuck at 92% done processing and never went farther. I tried like 6 more ties, finally got one to upload! Here it is.

CLICK IT!

Yeah Dust I'm kind of curious why you'd assume it was some sort of scam/hoax instead of just a youtube error, considering youtube does this a LOT.

I didn't mean it like that. It just seemed funny that he posted a screenshot that obviously didn't match up what the actual video was. I mean, why would you post a link to the video when it was obviously messed up? Personally I would have noticed the video issue and then fixed it before even linking to it. For the record I've been uploading videos to Youtube for 4 years now and I've never experienced such a problem, so that never really crossed my mind.

Ah, I see. Well in that case I retract my previous statement. Sorry about that.

I really like the way the movement system works. I like how it shows the ghost of your character, that's really cool.

But you just said it doesn't actually happen in game? HUH?

And Aeltrius, it would make the exam even cooler if the snowman actually fought back and moved around- maybe you could give it a top hat and call it Frosty?
