Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 16, 2005, 08:06:55 PM: it is...

Post by: Ace of Spades on April 16, 2005, 08:08:53 PM: Ok...the story sounds ok, however, no offense, but it doesn't "look" good. Right now, no offense once again, but your maps suck. You've really got to work on your mapping. The first one is supposed to be some kind of temple right? Well, the way you used that chipset, it's like, a poorly made cliff with a blue door, grass, and rocks on it. Sorry, but the blue door, blue flags and golden thingys don't fit well with it. Find a good temple chip, and also, play some well rated games that have a good rating for maps and graphics, so that you can get an idea on how to use chipsets the right way, and make your maps look better. I'm not trying to criticize your game, in fact, the story is pretty good. You do have to work on your mapping though, big time. Remember, I'm not saying the game is bad, I'm just trying to help you out in making maps look better. The way I learned, is playing other games that had good graphics. Also, playing real games, such as Treasure of the Rudras, Chrono Trigger, SoM, that sorta thing. It'll take time, but if you work hard at it, you'll get better.

Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 16, 2005, 08:21:53 PM: the rocks, grass, and yellow things make them look diferent, this is the earth temple, it also is just a work in progress, its not a temple to be exact, but a tower, they will look beter, this is just the first version.

Edit: and not that i don't apritiate advice, don't make me sound like i'm a noob, i've been useing rm2k3 for scicne it came out, and over the time i've learned a few neat tricks, i may be new to charas, but i'm no game making dummy.

Post by: dragoninja on April 16, 2005, 10:35:58 PM: Looks good! but don't you mean "acolyte" or is it suposed to be named "acrolyte"
Title:
Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 16, 2005, 11:30:05 PM: its saposed to be Acrolyte.

Post by: Linkforce on April 17, 2005, 04:56:51 AM: looks good so far. i like your original weapons! very cool. :smoke:

Post by: artoni on April 17, 2005, 05:02:54 AM: OOooooOOOOOooooh, I like the Record Temple. :)

And I'm sure Ace meant no offence. It's hard to give constructive critism without it coming off as bashing, eh? XD I have to agree that the first shot looks kind of...weird...but I'm sure you're not done with it. Looking forwards to the finished map.

Post by: dragoninja on April 17, 2005, 07:41:46 AM: well well... Looks very good!
Keep the good work up!

Post by: robotroy on April 17, 2005, 05:57:08 PM: Please work on your spelling... if what you've typed here in the forum is anything like the spelling in your game, people won't think too highly of it. If english is not your native language, then there are people around here, myself included, who are willing to help clean it up.

Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 18, 2005, 10:50:13 PM: thankyou, this is a charset of some of the worriors and knights in my game, some are already thier, but i slowly added my own.
Title:
Post by: Rune_of_Punishment on April 19, 2005, 12:10:44 AM: What I'm wondering is why everyone is now using generated charsets.
Title:
Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 19, 2005, 12:51:26 AM: i was recomended this site because it had an online charset generater. Thats the entire point to the site. Isn't it? I've only been here a few days, but come on...plus i suck at pixle art.
Title:
Post by: Ryoshin on April 20, 2005, 04:23:27 PM: There isn't actually a RIGHT way to use a chipset.

Well, if no one uses, it, then thers no point to have a charas generator.

I like the screens, only the temple looks a little bad, sorry.

Post by: Lighting Half Dozen on April 22, 2005, 01:16:24 AM: THats okay, for now i'm working on the stories of Record Isle and the gameplay, plus i still need a Janar disign.
