Heh. I'm hoping that that's just a joke from my spazing on your thread.

Ok, so I've finished the WUD (weapon unit display) basic system. I'm not to happy with it's looks at the moment, but that can be changed. The black circles will show pictures of the current equipted weapon and it's lvl, the top bar of the top one, and the bottom of the bottom, will show the WHP (weapon hit points) left in meter form, and the other will show the WHP in numbers. Now, I know none of this goes with the HUD, but because that's be used in a Zelda game, I'm going to eventually change that to another type of meter.

Oh, and I did sorta kinda mix chipsets from ToR and Mac and Blue into one map, but I think it looks ok. Comments?

Ok, I've got a second WUD going on here. I like this one a lot more, but I'll ask you guys which you would rather play the game throughout with.

Melee weapon = Upper left
Distance weapon = Upper right
HUD (I'm still not keeping the Life Bar, but I changed it to make it better for the time being) = center.

He he, thanks.

Now, I'm working really hard on getting a demo out for you all. I was going to put out an engine demo, but then I started starting to many things and ending nothing, and at the moment, I've finished about all my systems that I'm going to have in the game. All I have to do is program the WUD and WHP systems and then the demo will be sent out. It will be a story demo, being about the plot refrence I wrote on my first post the 31st or something. Basically, you come to town, it's under lockdown, you find out why, blah blah. And so, once the cutsceens are finished and all that jazz (I've got three out of about seven done.) completed, then I'll send a story demo out. It will contain, or should contain:

Two towns, two boss fights, 10-30 minutes of gameplay, all magic spells given to you in the begining to screw around with, only first character will be playable, and the blacksmith.

It will not have: Exp turn-in for upgrades, intro, bugfree gameplay, etc.

So yeah, think of it as a Christmas present guys.

And, I figured that if Linkforce does it, I should too, so here's a pic from the cutsceen where you meet the second player character's brother.

hmm....
You need the font fix ^_^

I like your mapping...looks very natural...the HUD/WUD aint too bad either ^_^ good job (Leon, complementing someone?! wait...Leon? COMPLEMENTING MEISCOOL!? OMFG, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! THE APOCALYPSE IS HERE!!!!!!)



oh yeah, dont mix chipsets....(dumbass.....)

[Meiscool-2]

LOL. Well thanks, that means a lot coming from you Leon. Seriously, not sarcastic in any way.

[Leon_1990]

Don't get used to it...
lol

Well, not much new. Slight update though. Many people (2) thought that pictures were a bad idea for animations, and I didn't want actual animations because if I have more then two playing at once they cancel out. So, I went to poses. But, because some poses required more then one square (slashs) , I still had to use one picture. But that has changed. I've devolped ways to make two-square animations. This will greatly free up some pictures and bugs. I haven't found any bugs with the event that I'm using for the pose animation at the moment, so I think my attacking problems may be in the clear.

Your game is amazing! Over-all good.  The mapping burned my eyes of goodness. XD

This game has alote of potential i like your maps and abs system very much but i due have one problem with this game it is ure character sprites if you want i could help you re-do ure animations just by replacing them with a new sprite but that's up to you and good luck with this!!!

Umm. Slow down, I didn't understand. What is it you don't like, the characters or the animations or what? If you're offering to redo the character's I'll take up that offer, as I hate using a barly edited ToR character as the second player character.

i don't know about the other 2 people, but the only thing i see odd about this is the one picture of the fire-breathing dragon monster, it doesn't look like it fits properly into the environment, beyond that, i think it looks amazing! (although i had a preference for your first WUD, they're both great though.)

[Meiscool-2]

Well, progress on the demo is still being worked on. Don't think I'll have the WHP system finished though. In the mean time, I want you to indulge yourself on some screen shots from the second main character's hometown: Everwood.

This town is the peasent central of the Everest region. It's a town that comes before the fields that lead to the castle. So basicly saying, Everest is a HUGE area.

First two pics and taken right before night comes, and then second are taken at morning. Now, I know that these are from two completly different chipsets, but I wanted to combine them for originality. These maps weren't made entirly by me either, as I had a HUGE ammount of help from the two guys in my credits (that's right, I'm gonna make you look alllllll the way back at my credits just so you see who all has helped me so far) So... enjoy!

Did you make all the graphics including the chipsets and what not?
