~Screenshot Central!

Gah, my goal is to get this **** done before Halloween. Right now it feels highly unlikely. But here's an update on the battle system



Still got monster AI, skills, items and victory left to do (+ the whole game)

Goddammit, stop making such awesome things

[Fisherson]

That so reminds me of the old DQ games I played on the GBC.....X3 Mmmm nostalgiaaaaaaaa~ Looks well put together too, not just some mao based silly CBS like I made.

[Fisherson]

So here's my newest Dentverse Origins title screen:


And here's what my entry to the holloween screen shot contest would have been. -.-; Stupid Zoltar and his voodoo doll.

[Momeka]

I love that screenshot, Fish. The title screen is very Star Wars poster-y.

[zuhane]

I your project called Waah? Loving the screenshot

[Zoltar]

Daaang! That title is really well made, Fishman! It's a mondo shame I don't use a title per-say but a room. I suppose I could always go modern and have a title picture and company logo after activating the Z-launch. Hmm ...wait! Fishman, where did you get that tile set?? I need that!

I love that screenshot, Fish. The title screen is very Star Wars poster-y.

That is exactly the vibe I was going for! ^_^ It's modeled after the original 1977 poster but I couldn't quite draw Gore standing sideways so I used his charaset blown up and added a custom arm with his energy blade. Also the X-Wings would be the ones flying up in arc but I already put the Loyal Dewback in place that negated the subtle motion of having them on the Left so I went with them rising with Gore. I think it emphasizes his malice though so we're all good.

XD Well it's a common bit of Dave's speech pattern in games, comics and in my own RPs when he's startled. I think that many zombies with no party members, not even my moogle medic and trusty flame thrower packing droid, would startle anybody don't you? XD Also it would be pretty unique game title.

So here's my newest Dentverse Origins title screen:

I like that title screen! It's just a bit concerning the big pixelated faced gui with the rest of the pic, less pixelated. It clashes a bit imo, but that's just a detail really.

Nice screen! Everything goes nice together GG!

So, I've been doing a 100% custom made cutscene (my first!) for my little roguelike game.
What do you guys think?

[Archem]

You know, the cursor still being a placeholder sprite makes me think it might not be such a bad idea to keep it as the main character instead of using an arrow. Sort of adds to the idea that the character is making the choices, and gives you plenty of opportunity to see them.

Or whatever, I like unusual ideas. Looks cool.

[Prpl_Mage]

I'm digging it, nice work with the art and animation

This won't be possible. The sprite of my character is too large, and the separation from the two lines of texts not big enough. Plus the cursor is reused later in the game. I tried with more spacing, it doesn't look good in my opinion. But I'll try to see if I cannot make a mini version of the sprite, as this is a pretty good idea.

Thanks. I spent almost 2 weeks with the art alone. The coding took me only one hour. This is not the biggest of cutscenes, it's just reminiscent of old NES games.
Maybe you've seen that I included a few easter eggs, whether in forms of the art or of the text. I hope they're not too visible, but enough for people who know the games to notice.

[Momeka]

Donut that looks great. I can't wait to try it.


I'm putting way too much work into this obscure secret area.

I was just about to point out that it looked really familiar. So you finally decided to make it its own game?

Nah, I was thinking about making a mini chain game (maybe three chapters or so). But we'll see if I manage to finish it.
