Some battle chars and they respective characters:

A small hell shooter game I worked on but too small for me to bother with a topic.

This is the first of the three stages of the boss

That looks pretty good so far

Decided to step back into the Rm2k3 for now, and put in a fair days work...
Returned to the Swamp of the Lost to remap (still WIP on the inner map)
This in comparison to the old 2007 release design...
----------------
Along with this bit of work, I've managed to finish the "Mysterious Swamps" dungeon
and formed the teleport link between said swamps and the Training Ground. I figured
a small cave with the typical teleport crystal would work better than a direct teleport
to the world map.
Thus giving me an opportunity to step away from the 2007 design even further with this..
Instead of this..
-------------------
How this island works is that it is inaccessible by water or by air and the only way to get
there would be through the Mysterious Swamps (I'd change that name but I've already
made display name logos for all areas).

@Bunsen.05:  My only suggestion to give a stronger computer look is to put horizontal lines across the facesets.  In a slightly lighter translucent green would give a nice screen effect.  Hopefully you know what I'm talking about.  I was trying to find a reference picture, but I had no luck.

When making those ones, I did add the msg box into it but only at 40%, there are scanlines in it but not so clear when in a screenshot, they are much more apparent in game, but I may try 50%.

Thanks for the tip.

Well just got this bad boy finished I guess its on to the Next.

This look very nice, I like it a lot.

@Corfasius: Concerning the map called Island, I think I like the old design a lot more than your new one.

@the_nackster: I'm taking the Credit for this one, its the first sprite I have completed on my own, with some help on the lighting effects but I hope to rival Ara Fell XP Tile Set Artist, I need to get better. But thanks

Here is a screen from my current project. I'll start a [devlog] about it soon, once I get a little more done.

It's the first game I've made btw.

I finally got something for you guys, to see what I've been up to.
I really got into graphic work early December - usually I'm interested in just coding.
So this is what came out of it - I was living near a city for a bit, which inspired me making a city chipset.
Take a look at the resource section for a bit of my graphic work, designing robots, miniature people, cities. (will be up soon)

Here's something that required and still requires heavy duty coding,



Its a chess game, I wanted there to be pictures of two old men staring at each other left and right of the screen,
but that has come about.  I was inspired when I played a game of chess with my friend's grandfather, I beat him twice  
I wanted to dissect the game, to see all the strategies that a person could come up with - which is determined basically by the movements
of each piece - which simultaneously determines which squares the piece defends and which squares the piece can attack.  If see all of that,
and consider the value of each piece there shouldn't be any reason for you to lose.  I wanted there to be a strong AI for both sides, so I could
just set back and watch my creation dance around each other - but another project came to mind.  Which I will show another day.

In the screenshot, I worked it out so that all the movements are mapped.  You can get from the picture that all highlighted, pieces, are defended.
And do you notice which pieces are not defended.  I never knew that before and I think that's interesting for some reason.  I know the screenshot is not much, but I think the project is going to die, I just want to play chess now.

@ MArcus: thats some awsome work man! I want to see more!

@ KOG: What changed? His gun? Still looks cool.  ​

@Ratt: Rad statues, but I dont like those bridges, they just stick out too much. Try darkening the gradient on them a bit.

Ok and here is my vid for the finalized intro of Red Skies. SIGNIFIGANT CHANGES HERE!

NEW VIDEO


I basically went through and redid the whole intro from scratch based on the criticisms i had recieve here and from my main beta tester. COMMENTS PLEASE!


I honestly think these two intros look like they were made by diff people. Constantly using rm2k3 is slowly improving my skills I hope.

Come on, man... I know Shadar's face picture was just a shabby color swap and paintbrush job but... Please? Can you maybe find another face picture? If I'm not mistaken there was a refmap version made for that exact sprite... Also, try panning the panorama so the airships actually look like they're moving.

Paperghost, those set pieces could really use some contrast.

Marcus that is the coolest thing i've seen in a while. Really, I don't think the charset clashes THAT bad at all. In fact, its quite easy on the eyes -especially compared to most games with hand drawn backgrounds. I would love to see more of your levels, that shit is lookin FINE
