Man you guys have good stuff

This is a video screenshot of a bunch (~17) of my abandoned projects from a long time ago

music is my friend's, here: http://www.last.fm/music/Fuchuzz/_/Rain

Really amazing stuff as always, andyw. It's a shame they're abandoned. They're all really thought provoking, despite being little demos.

you should complete and release that one where you appear to control a ball of smoke

is that a pokemon fangame

fuck fangames (how is it a pokemon fangame at all?)

Looks more like an Earthbound fangame to me.

Similar graphical style =/= fangame. Other than graphics there is no relation to the Mother series except for maybe quirkiness.

I guess he was saying the graphical style is similar to the newer Pokémon games, but I don't really know them since I only played Gold extensively.

(why can't people give feedback instead of LOL LOOKS LIKE FANGAM)

The menu looks fine ingame at a larger resolution and the green gradient is a placeholder since we haven't decided what we are doing for that yet.
And I disagree about it being an excuse to have simple custom graphics.
How are you getting tired of it? I've hardly seen any games use it, except for the Mother series and Gongo's game, and I'm pretty certain I've been posting screens of this project longer than he has of his (and the fact that his are Theodore edits while ours are drawn from scratch). Seriously like 75% of the games around here use SNES rips or REFMAP or some combination of that. We put a lot of effort into our graphics and constantly go back to fix little things and make things look cohesive. The style fits perfectly with the tone we want for the game.
Sure, the graphics are simple, but who ever said simplicity is a bad thing?

EDIT:

These graphics are simpler than ours, but would you say they're an excuse to quickly produce graphics? Some artist worked long and hard on these pixels back in the day. We don't have LIGHTING EFFECTS or crazy fancy shading schemes or whatever, but that doesn't mean our art is easy to do: the art actually takes us quite a bit of time. In fact, the simplicity is challenging for us. Keeping things clean and consistent while avoiding convoluted art with too many colours is not something we have all worked with before.
The style is cartoony because we want it that way. Not because of "custom graphics, lol."

not saying simple is bad just saying ppl tend to default to cavestory for platformers and e-bound for RPGs. You can be simple AND original. Look at Doppleganger's Eckle and Toast. Other people who used the style was marcus in the homebound game and other people in rmn posting their first custom chips, can't think right off the dome who they were. When people do custom graphs, they seem to gravitate towards this style, maybe it's a good place to start, but I'd like to see something more original/enticing.

dont take this the wrong way I dont want a 7 page argument about this, but you were complkaing about crits so i tried to give some legit

Also, Origin. http://rpgmaker.net/games/1881/

HomeLAND (not homebound) died years ago and I think Eckle and Toast had a somewhat different style although it's ages since I played it. The person you saw posting chips at RMN was most likely Lennon who drew the chips for Chromatose (along with YDS.) In fact, there's a good chance the chips you saw were FROM Chromatose. I just checked it and the only chips I see in that topic of this style are his. (And that's the only RMN thread that allows such sort of "screenshots.")

Origin is not the Mother style but I guess it's similar. I know CAHRULL (the guy who drew Homeland) had a few other mystery projects with the same style too. So that's like a 4 or so projects compared to like... 4000 games with CT or FF6 or Rudra rips, or REFMAP.

Origin vs. Chromatose:




Origin does not even look like the Mother style we have been influenced by. Notice Origin's lack of solid black outlines. In fact, Origin looks very similar to RTP, as if it were drawn over some RTP things, especially the charset style.

Not much to show, still working on the Alter skill trees but i did finish the animated title screen

fuck fangames (how is it a pokemon fangame at all?)

I assume you are fucking retarded or something to have assumed that this was not a joke post for even a second

edit: Seriously Azn how can you not assume people are going to make the comparison? I am not saying it's a bad style to use but the char styles are pretty much identical and the detail is emphasized in pretty much all the same places. It looks as much like Mother 2 as Mother 3 did (a compliment and also a point in my argument).

edit2: I even think it looks really good but seriously how could you assume I thought it was a pokemon fan game? Come on man use your brain

By the way: I take all opportunities to start arguments (read: all RMN topics I post in)

@Gongo: I like the font, color, and idea, but if I weren't for that fact I knew what was your game called before seeing the title, it would be hard to make it out. Unless the animation going to put the words/letters in a linear fashion, go for a more easier reading.

yeah but you have bad posts

I have a lot of swag. Pep in my step, ya dig? KingofSpooks knows how to push more chips then a Casino. Ripping be be mad lax, I'm super max and layer those chip rips to make something freeessh. Listen, I don't make custom graphix but I know shit because I chip. I got a chip on my shoulder I had since I was in the uterus, ya feel me? I chip spit master pieces all day yo. This shit just comes to me in my dream yo. I game hard and fuel dew, Code Red twice before bed (helps me feel twisted). Yooooooooo. I go to a club and get text messages from people I know online asking when I'll drop the latest tileset.

I also have a stupid nickname.

I find this ironic because your POSTS are convulated.
