Title: Would it be wrong to dump my earlier creations?
Post by: Zerodarkst on June 25, 2005, 04:37:53 AM: Hello, I use the Rpgtoolkit, it's a small, open source game maker.
(Can find here: Toolkitzone (http://www.toolkitzone.com)

My game has it's own original sprites that I made from sratch. (I only used a template.)

However, they're crap...and I mean CRAP.

Now,should I keep my prized possesions. Crap or not, I worked hard on them.

Or should I use the sprites here, great and detailed that they are....

Post by: Osmose on June 25, 2005, 04:44:38 AM: Yeah. You are your worst critic. Get input from others on their quality before deleting em.

Post by: Zerodarkst on June 25, 2005, 04:45:15 AM: Err...that'll be kinda herd since they're not saved as an image....
It's in a .TST format and screenshots will be a pain to make....

and I doubt anyone here has the RPGTK to view them....

*sigh*

I'll see if I can....

Post by: Zerodarkst on June 25, 2005, 04:48:39 AM: I know how...it's just that not only will I have to make multiple little racks, but my art program is horrificly slow....

And for some reason, MS paint is non existant....
I'll get back to you when I make the screenshots....

Post by: GhostClown on June 25, 2005, 05:22:41 AM: They arn't THAT bad, but yes, I can see why you want to replace them.

You're a TKer too!?

I'm Tetsuo...but yeah, I'll post a plain download to the .tst file....

My Characters in TST format (http://www.toolkitzone.com/stuff/files/598/Characters.tst)

Post by: Osmose on June 25, 2005, 06:26:10 AM: I'm a TKer in the fact that I promote and used to code for it way back during the early version 2 days. But I got bored of making games. It's still way better than stuff like RPG Maker, albeit RMXP is nearly as good as it with Rubyscript.

But the new site and crap? Nah.

By the way, they look pretty good, but you should consider adding an extra pose for walking, at least for diagonal walking. There should be right foot sticking out, standing still, and left foot sticking out for it to look semi-good.

Well, There is two footed walking but it's kinda hard to tell, and plus; the villagers aren't meant to have many frames, they go too fast to notice anything anyways...
(I'm using version two might I add, TK3 runs too slow on my PC....)

And you gotta admit...the blue armoured girl's battle animation sucks....

And it does get VERY tiring making sprites constantly....

Edit: Hair is also another problem....I can't get it to look any better, and it always looks the same as everyonelse's.....

Post by: Zerodarkst on June 25, 2005, 06:52:20 AM: I can't use the mas images in the RPG toolkit....
They are saved in a .tst format which takes up more space than you'd think....

Plus, it's not an issue of size rather than it is of quality....

How about, if I use my onw sprites in this game...which will be my heart and soul....

While I use Charas sprites for a fun little side project?

I mean; you can only pour your heart into so many things....

And think about this, too: if you keep spriting, you'll eventually get better at doing it. The generators don't really allow for that kind of improvement (you could edit them, but it's not the same).

Aye...but you see, my sprites have ALWAYS been that horrid....
I've been doing this for about half a year now...and they still look the same....

And I HATE villager sprites!
I swear, I'm gonna end up giving them ONE animation fram...if that!

Oh, and I decided that this game will be heart and soul, sweat and blood.
While with other projects, I'll use Charas' sprites....Those'll be just fun little side projects....
And who know, I might end up submitting Charas stuff!
Who knows?
