Nice effect.  I'm interested, could you do a video of it?

Gives away too much story.  Have to wait until 2037 when the full game is released!

...ok?

My apologies for not using quotes, my phone doesn't quite agree with them.

Anyhow, I'm really liking your map, Heretic. I've been experimenting with a similar effect (though not with a giant eye, of course) but I haven't been able to make a lot of progress as of late. I'm with Namkor, though, I'd love to see it in action.

As for your map, Drbigt, I really can't say, mostly because I can't actually see the map beyond the few luminated segments. I like what I can see, though. I'm particularly fobd of that yellowish region near the edge.

Littlesaytr, I love the character art. I'm not too fond of the fonts, though, and I can't say I'm a fan of important words being of both a different color and in brackets. That's just me, though.

Eh? What yellow region?

[Ryosis]

Well, greenish-yellow. Where the torches are.

hey guys ~ may I join?
This screenshot for my game's world building

I'm not planned to make player wandering around in that worldmap.
It just for a personal notes since I can not draw worldmap using image editor ~

Cool idea. Although I dunno how long the snowman would last with that heater!

The floorboards don't extend into the "wall" (read: ice), leaving a little bit of a gap between floor and wall, and that makes me a sad panda.

The floorboards don't extend into the "wall" (read: ice), leaving a little bit of a gap between floor and wall, and that makes me a sad panda.

It does give the appearance of the boards being cut off before they reach the side walls, even though the wall graphics are fine. Not quite sure how you'd fix it. The only thing that comes to mind is to redesign the vertical sections to look a little more organic. It'd be something you'd do with pictures, perhaps; something akin to parallax mapping. I don't see caves having too many straight edges in them.

I do have concerns about the little bed/cot being in the middle of the walkway out of the "bedroom". Seems like a hazard, considering how a person would get in/out of the large bed. I was tempted to say a fire hazard, but the whole place is a bit of a hazard if a fire was to break out, what with the place likely to melt some.

That's why there's a water bucket next to the fire.

Wow, really? Thanks!!

i meant in the you can't see a single fucking thing in it sort of way.

saying something looks like a doom 3 screenshot is an old joke that means a screenshot is mostly black with a small badly lit area in the middle from the flashlight.

That's kinda the point. That's why you have a lantern so you can see. You need to get fuel and preserve the lantern when it's not needed. If you'd be able to see, it'd render the entire lantern and the fuel and such mechanics obsolete. I did make the lantern a lot stronger, as well as the other lights though so it should light the path more.


I was just touched you compared my game to million dollar project. And that screenshot looked good, I do not seen what's the problem with it.

Drbigt, where do you get your resources from? Do you make most of them?

Customs are made for me. I pay a professional artist to do them since I am not talented enough myself.

I may whip up a demo just to display the motion of the Eye without spoiling the story.  One of the problems I ran into tho required me write a script, just to animate the eye.  Actually, that isnt true, it required 2 scripts.  One for adjusting the Z-Index of the Eye Sprites to be less than that of the terrain (terrain is on top, eye look up from underneath), and one for the motion.  Motion was a problem with expressions because there isnt really any way to move directly in a non 8 directional path (up, down, left, right, and diagonals).  Both scripts are public, and I get two minutes of free time, I'll post a copy here, but for now, its up over at chaos-project.

The eye itself is composed of multiple events just using one big ass picture.  The eyelids, scalera, and iris are seperate events.  That allows the eye to change shape, blink, look around and move quite fluidly.

That cave style has pretty much become my standard for ALL my maps.  There is just something about square "natural" caves to me that comes across as looking like garbage.  In a mine, its one thing to have a square corner and perfectly flat wall, but not in a natural cave. 

I'll work on a demo (and post script here) when I get some free time.

Completed map

[TDS]

I started doing this a few weeks ago as a side project. It's not for a game or a script. I'm just doing it to do something.

I did the intro after doing the map to see if it was possible to do it with a script call. It's not exactly the same, but it does sort of work.

Both of you: Those look very nice and you should be proud. I would give you each a cookie were I able.

Wasn't Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest the first Turn-based RPG to get a PAL release, albeit under a different name?
