Yeah most people give up on trying to make their own game look/feel unique. I think NB is right about the case by case bases that should be applied. RPG games are almost always terrible. I have yet to play an ALL AROUND GREAT rpg game in the commercial/indie scene for years. Yeah I played some average games but I'm talking about a game that left lasting impressions. I first thought I grew out of the whole genre, which i probably did. But I also still think that it's just because there aren't many people trying anymore (or at least lacking the talent).

I think NB was wrong about this applying to any genre. Rpg games are really really bad now a days more so then a LOT of genres. I can easily get into even crappy FPS, SHMUPs, or strategy games if the foundation is good. I don't play rpg games for gameplay alone, I'm usually looking for an enthralling story that FEATURES good gameplay, graphics, music, etc. All the eye candy will only keep me entertained for only a short way into the game.

I didn't even want to post this but I did. About stealing people's graphics, it's pretty bad no matter how you look at it. Just ask, it wouldn't hurt anyone if you did. In my old days I had sent out over 100 PMs asking people for help, and some of them responded  ​. I don't ask anymore because I don't need anyone.

I think it's also stupid that people automatically assume things are ripped. Konix is dead on about when people ask "Hey is that original, if not give me it!". I typically just ignore people asking me personally as everything I touch is a coupled with rips, original, editted stuff.

Zzzzzzz

Just started this HUD, tell me if the Lighting and HUD stick out too much.... please!

The lighting's fine and the HUD should really stand out. Hey, does this ring me of Parasite Eve or Galerians?

-srry gw uploader isn't working for me.

This is what I was trying to explain earlier.  Some people don't care about that kind of thing.  I'm not saying that I don't care. (I've changed my project 7 times... just to keep it looking different from the people that jack the resources or make something identical to a screen)  

I understand where you and Rpg are coming from... but not everyone takes it so seriously.  

These are older screens... but they're better than none: (Considering how none has been posted in a little while)


Case and point... EVERYONE uses Rudra rips nowadays... they used to be quite obscure. 

Uh nah, last time I checked there were only 2 games that used rudra, LotPS and Demon Hunter 2 or something...

None the less, great just what we need more fuckin' rudra.

But nice maps they bring attention to my eyes and appeal with the green tint, good stuff. I'll have something up in a minute or two


@misterbigt: For the love of god learn how to map correctly. I don't like seeing tree with a quarter of it missing, and whats with that one just awkwardly in the middle? seriously =/

@Sanoske: It looks so unique with colors never seen anymore, pink and purple, its very nice and different, cool to be away from the rm2k/3 scene, good shit.

rpgs don't have deep storylines or character development though

Thanks for the saturday night laugh, very entertaining statement indeed.

Gotta fix the hit-box on Millie's beam attack...

Also: pwned by hima. :V

@The Nackste​ude don't encourage Mister Big T...

Anaryu that's looking really good, I hope to see more of it in the future.

Also hima your game's looking amazing as usual, I'm gonna head over to your topic in a sec.

@Anaryu: That is awesome, are those sprites custom? is it being made in game maker?

The sprites are 'kinda' custom.

They're actually Jump Ultimate Stars sprites that were used as templates and re-done. The sword-guy (Kane) is Hitsugaya Toshiro and the girl with the gun (Millie) is Nico Robin. And yeah, GameMaker 7.

I know how to map correcttely. Play more Bedtime Story games noob. 


Anyway, small graphical tests for Angelissa's Quest, since it's been so long to topic without any new screens.

testing sprite



playing the flute is like 8 frames.  pulling out the flute is another 8 it will take me longer to animate than it will to actually program the game >​

CANCELED

Holy fuck I just saw the old one in comparison to this, great job man!

You learn to map to map correctly noob

Also in the second pic, I think the room is too big for the scarce stuff that there is in the room. You should either fill it with stuff or make the room smaller.
