We're rating maps, not games. I know that my game has plenty of inconsistancy, especially with the battle graphics, but unlike other games, mine is based on new gameplay. You might think an edited DBS would make a game stand out amid other RPGs, but in reality, most of the games for rpg maker that are put out have an edited DBS with steal, blue magic, and other classic little gizmos.

And no, I haven't played Seeker of the Sun, but I don't play rpg maker games much. Unless they are ABS, or some active CBS, I don't normally play them unless requested to, because they are horridly repeative, and they all try to grab you on a un-thought-out plot. DBS games don't have much to offer IMO, just because I get bored with them quick. Yours could be different, if I ever bother to try it.

For the hell of it V As you can see in the lower screen, I actually bothered to rip out the statue and railing and make them events that go above the pictures of light and hero.

What are those marks on the top bar of Whats-Her-Names hud?

[aboutasoandthis]

You just went off topic. i was telling you how I stay consistent using color, then you started talking about how I use a DBS. WTF? Make up your mind.

Let me put it this way. Give me one DBS based game with a working Mimic skill. You'll have to  see my game to believe it. I revamped the battle system entirely.

Otherwise, don't play it. :p

I actually like these lights more than your other ones, even if they don't make sense.

New thingie. It's the critical bar. It flashes red from time to time, and if you swing your sword while it's still red, you land a critical blow, which is 1.5 times as powerful as a normal blow. I've been working on adding more to the HUD. Like, when you cast a spell, a bar appears under the health numbers telling you how long you have untill the spell is recharged. I also want to make a sort of "Mental Health" that could also cause you do die. It would go down when you take damage, but it would go down the same rate regardless of what the damage is. It would also go down when you use a spell, read a scroll, or get a status effect like silence placed on you. I dunno if people would like that, or if it would just piss them off.

In my opinion its a very unique idea and would seperate your game from others. I personally like the idea of a critical bar, gives you some what more control over your criticals then just by chance or a certain percentage.

A desert temple though it's not complete yet have to put out some animals and charas, enjoy

[Meiscool-2]

ToP, Rudra, and SoM?

Very nicly combined. You did a good job there.

[Red Fox]

Thx.

By the way wich looks better the first one I posted or this with the tempel burried in the sand

[aboutasoandthis]

I don't think the colors match that well, but like Meis said, it is nicely combined. The Rudra castle sticks out though for a temple.

Hmm...I think the problem comes from Rudra having a different depth perception then regular games. I can see what you're trying to do. Maybe, you should take the second screen's sand and move it pixel by pixel to match the bottom of the castle. It looks like a sand "cliff" around the castle.

[Meiscool-2]

The base of the castle is round, and you're using triangle sand. Make the sand rounder so it matches the base of the castle.

Or, just keep #1.

[Red Fox]

Going to try to make it rounder.

Edit:

Turned out like this.. It looks strange, I maybe give it another try later..

[coreystranick]

In my opion, that looks way better then the last two, Red Fox. I would go ahead and keep that one.

[aboutasoandthis]

I concur. I can see why you think it looks strange, but it works.

[Red Fox]

Hmm..Yeah I think I keep it I just got to make the left corner a little better. Thanks.

Aboutsoandthis's game appeals more to me then miescools!

sorry just had to put that out there and I mean cmon its not like my opinion is worth fukle anyways.

Aboutsoandthis's game may not have "consistancy" or "revolutionary ideas" personally none of the ideas I have seen in this forum are any ideas that I haven't seen in another "real" game. I have yet to see a revolutionary genuine idea...
