Thanks for the advice, Cray! I'll be up to it in fixing the perspectives and texture. I really needed the tips! 

Glad someone else is making an iso game since mine is lost somewhere on a flash drive. There is a lot of good looking stuff out here this week. Must be cause its summer.

edit: Aha! I found my tileset but I don't have RMXP and my Assasins Creed tileset is still missing.

^ There needs to be contrast between the background and the character - remember that when you adjust colors.

Otherwise, it's super awesome and beautiful!

Hello here's a screen from some point and click game I'm attempting to make at the moment!!!


After looking on a different monitor I just noticed the colours are way too bright! I'll get round to fixing that sometime!

Fantastic and easy monitor color calibration.

@Lifexplosion - Very impressive graphic style Finish that game!

@Squall: I hope your not using those charaset with those beautiful background of yours. What game maker engine are you using anyways?
Jimpo: I am awaiting some playing demo anytime soon...

Meant to be a soft pastel type graphics.  I'm trying to keep things such as floor tiles a little blurry and pushed into the background whereas items in the foreground have definition.

@ Calibre: Wow, that's beautiful work right there!

May I ask how did you achieved that soft texture effect?

@ Cray

Thanks but I am at a loss of what I can do really, can you explain a little more what you mean by more shapes?  I am trying to keep things pretty simple cause I need to make a whole game, let along all the original graphics and I know there has to come a point when you say that's as much detail as i have time but this isn't an excuse not to improve.  By more shapes do you mean more tree variations?

@ busterblade

I'll try to explain!

For all the textures I created a separate layer of every surface in an image editor and found royalty free textures on the net I can overlay, sometimes i needed to overall 2 or 3 textures, like on the tree.  For the tiles shapes, I either drew them from scratch or overlayed rtp dimensions for reference (more so on autotiles) and for the more non-symmetrical stuff I used literally a pencil, scanned it in and converted the pieces into shapes that I could then shade and texture.  I also used shadows in layer properties for like underneath the tree etc.

Been messing around with this for a few weeks and I'm finally starting to make some progress.

@ Calibre:  You're awesome in explaining - I actually get it! It's not that hard, but it's a lot of work. I hope you can keep it up!

@ Arcan: Had to Google the series - I like how it's turning out so far in the emulation

@ CociCookie: That's pretty hard to do in the program you're using, but due to its versatility, it should be a lot better for what you want to implement in the long run.


Man, summer's been really creators' time!

^ My mom keeps thinking all forms of coding is similar somehow, as long as you got the basics, you just have to change the other symbols and stuff.

Is that correct?
