Cray: The resemblance to SOM tiles is disturbing. I think it's pretty strange having the trouble to make original sprites when they look like copies. But they look good, anyway. I'd just remove the shadows from trees... unless you're willing to put shadows on everything.

I added shadows to the cliffs now, and I can use those for houses or any big structure.
About the rassemblence, well I want to make a SoM clone, with similar gameplay but different story, and original characters, so I want to keep the SoM feel the most possible.

@Azn - I guess he missed the train then? Also there really isn't much to comment on, is it the color tone because since I don't know what your going for all I can say is it fits the scene well enough.

I'm seeing how well the Terranigma charset fits with the Theodore chipset (both recolored). I've gotten all positive feedback, but only from a few people--I think it's working out though.

@Cray wow at first I couldn't see the difference between your custom with the original aside from shading

Basically This. Great work on the Tileset!

I am really digging the hairstyles of your human sprites, sleeping_wind.

Yeah, I use a lot of time making hairstyles for the sprites. Especially for the main characters since I want them to look, you know, ~~unique~~ interesting.

also because CharasEx hairs are limited.

@sleeping_wind, awesome, stick with rm2k3 btw >:3

I probably will since RMVX's scripts confuse the heck out of me. Not to mention the side battle script still have parts written in Japanese

Damn you Enterbraiiin I want RM2k3 EX ( I want to make Front Mission 3 Kind of battle system).

Fun Fact : Most of my game progress are stuck/ stopped in making sprites (i.e. I kinda abandon stuff after making the sprites). Also battle animations.

I made a set of male and female templates to expedite the sprite generation process. The guy in the bandanna was supposed to be a guy name Taurus who I designed as an optional party member. After starting to work on the main character's battle and cutscene/conversation artwork, I redrew Taurus to make him a little younger looking. Now, I'm thinking of casting him as the lead instead. At least I'm not indecisive... well maybe I am.

@Cray: Are those SoM-inspired graphics made for RMXP? The little sword hints that they are. If so, that's pretty awesome, since RMXP's RTP is pretty poopy. If not, they're still pretty good. It'll be nice to see what additions you can come up with now that you've got the style down.

Well, I tried. But I always find it difficult in writing the story.

I mean uh, just worried that if I ever finish the game, the story would be so bad that the graphic would be the only thing people play it (salvage tiem!)

@ SW: You could throw together a completely cliche game with good graphics, and I can promise you that at least a few people would play/enjoy it.

A few W.I.P screens from the Vrenmasil Flashback version of Hronulum.

West (Red Viper clan meeting) (Click to reveal)

Center (Inn, Pub, Armor/Weapon Reserve) (Click to reveal)

South (Hronulum Garrison) (Click to reveal)

Tunnel under Garrison (Click to reveal)

Corfaisus/Vrenmasil conversation about the Hronulum cavalry horses. (Click to reveal)

Text (Click to reveal)

I'll have to scratch my head about the timeline of this game, seeing as how you return to the past before Hronulum was sunk at the end of the main story, to get a good idea of when the tunnel should be complete. Still having a hard time wrapping the game together to allow for a smooth storyline that includes "When Rage threw Corfaisus' body into the void, after ripping his soul from him to allow the Dark One to return him to life, all that he destroyed (Hronulum, Hero's Beginning) was sort of reborn. With Rage, Greed, Fear, and Corfaisus now imprisoned in the void, the world is essentially in its Golden Age, but even though these events never happened, it's almost as if the people of the world remember it happening just the same as the heroes.

It doesn't seem possible, but I'm going to have to come up with a logical explanation to why Corfaisus didn't return and why these events happened but didn't actually happen beyond "Welp, with Corfaisus in the void, he's trapped in a timeless zone to where he never actually existed (unless he finds a way out). Without that, Rage/Greed/Fear would not have been sent by the "Dark One" to interfere with Corfaisus' life, therefore they are all still within the void."

{Top of the page, looking for a screenshot to post, be back later}

But I must exceed the Gaming Standards! (three tile rule).

since it's top of page (PS I have one post at the previous page - bottom; reply for KAEMPFER)

The blank areas are to be added later manually (MS PAint/Photoshop whatever) otherwise the positioning looks weird. (ignore top left building ok, I forgot to fix that ages ago).

Also I remember why I am stuck with the game for some silly reasons:
1. because I need to make mountains and forest as part of the island but I have no clue how to merge the chipset

2. Because I am not sure to use this as a "picture" based map (overview) or normal map where you can move around as a person (not overview). Either way, you have to click at places to enter.

3. Because I give the player Melee and Ranged status (attack and Int; changed in the database) and sort of freedom to use which stats they want to focus on/develop.

But here's the catch; the main PC is Melee dominant, so that makes Melee/Ranged choice a bit useless

Been bothered by this for days ahahaha

I can change it to Accuracy (attack) to make it simple but that makes the 3rd stats (int) useless somehow. Also less freedom in stats growth.

Stupid reasons I guess

Dude, I could help you with like all of that (except auto-tiles. Have to ask a chipsets expert like Ocean). Seriously, PM me or something, but don't let all that work go to waste!

Also, screenshots to appease the screenshot gods:

This is very true. Sad, but true. Considering you can make a game with the best story and gameplay ever on here and if it's not eye candy people will turn it off. Trust me, I know.

Neok, big improvement, but the 2nd shot looks a bit more like a platformer/streets of reage perspective. Maybe it has to do with the sprite, or the somewhat of a lack of a roof tile. So yes it looks cool it just depends what perspective you're going for. (I'm guessing reg rpg 3/4 top down because of the 1st shot.)

King it's supposed to be in that perspective as Alter Aila Genesis is a side scroller.

@NEOK
I am still working on it once in a while. It's just preferences issues really! Thanks for the offer ~~(I will exploit it later if I got more problems).~~

Also it seems the pictures are not back yet (server move) so I guess I have to wait until later to see what you guys posted.

Welp, I always think Good graphic + bad story = ~~Stealfest~~ Nah but the reverse also true for me; except Decent graphic + Good story is enough. Also gameplay helps, but ehh, these are personal preferences so not valid for everyone (don't want to raise an argument over this).

@SupremeWarrior (Bit late), Yeah I will at least try to darken the tables a little bit. At first I just tried to use as few colors as possible but it might just look better the other way.

For some reason I'm not able to see the screenshots on this page, so I'll check those later on.
