Post by: Red Giant on July 19, 2004, 06:44:04 PM: Meh. Looks ok to me. Although the chipset for the top-right one looks a little... out of place.
Title:
Post by: DragonBlaze on July 19, 2004, 06:51:21 PM: The top left one is really good, but I don't think it fits with the others. The one on the top right is ok, but the waterfall around the cave looks horrible. Then the bottem left is ok.

There not bad screens, but there not really impressive either.

Post by: MrMister on July 19, 2004, 08:06:35 PM: The top-left chipset looks like it's from Dokapon. Is it?

Post by: SonicChaos7 on July 19, 2004, 10:08:37 PM: The top left picture uses the a battle background from Breath of Fire 3 I think it was. The mapping needs work (I'm no expert, but the maps look squarish). It needs work from what I can see visually, I haveno clue about plot or characters though, since we weren't provided that info.

Post by: Gothxtreme on July 20, 2004, 05:38:14 AM: The four great kingdoms have waged war.

Vandoria the Kingdom of Fire
Galia the Kingdom of Water
Dekord the Kingdom of Earth
and Hildon the Kingdom of Thunder

All are after one thing...to control the four Spheres of Life.Once obtained the owner can control the elements.
The Fire Sphere has just been stolen from Vandoria.As a Vandorian knight you have been assigned to retrieve the sacred sphere and retaliate on the Galian army.After retrieving the sphere you return home.The king is pleased with your work.After returning the sphere you decide to go home.The next day the King has....insisted...that you come to the castle acompanied by several soldiers.When you arrive you are accused of treason.The Fire Sphere has lost its energy and you are being accused...The king has banished you from the kingdom and you are then knocked out and you awake on the shore not to far from the kindoms gate...only to be found by a peasent girl.She assists you and sneaks you into her village(its in Vandoria but its where all the peasents live)After a few days of thinking about what happend you decide to retrace your steps and see what may have made the sphere lose its power.But what you do not know is what dangers lay ahead.

Thats my storyline in a nutshell sorry it wasnt more detailed...Im sort of tired lol its 2 am

And I dont mean to post alot at once but i need to post my characters

Post by: Gothxtreme on July 21, 2004, 12:52:35 AM: is this any better?
Title:
Post by: SonicChaos7 on July 21, 2004, 01:04:09 AM: A bit better, but they still seem squarish. And with the tall group of trees, the treetop or whatever looks very awkward when placed so far out like that.

Post by: Ryoshin on July 21, 2004, 02:46:17 PM: You know, if you want to make a forest look natural, you should add these things into it:

- Variation of grass, you know, long grass, roads.
- Use the upper layer. Like trees.
- Don't put the trees into a one single line. It looks unnatural and weird.
- Avoid making too square-ish maps.

Hope these'll help you out.

Post by: Red Giant on July 21, 2004, 03:41:47 PM: You need to tell some more story.

Post by: SonicChaos7 on July 21, 2004, 04:05:08 PM: I see Ryoshin's back.

Anyhow, practice making maps and play other 2k/3 games. I'd recommend playing ones that get good reviews and such. You can learn a thing or two about mapping by playing other games.
