Nice AFL. I suspect the other game to be a Lufia (colors especially reminds me of the GB one)?

@Momeka: I really like what you're going into. I've suscribed to your RMN page, I love what you've done with all the menus, and the accessibility especially. Looking forward to try that once you get a release.

I've myself just been making the puzzles for THW, I've got about 10 rooms ready now, and there's another 70 to be done. I didn't remember puzzles to be that complicated to do, or maybe I just run out of ideas ahah. So far I have spikes, switches, water, doors & keys, boulders, hidden walls. All with that chess-moves in mind. While testing for the rooms, I also realised the HUD was occulting a big part of the lower screen (especially since my maps are all 20x15, probably I will make bigger puzzles at some point?) so I remade it. Here, have two screens of two puzzle rooms with the new HUD

The 2003 is mondo bad at HUDs. The MV and VX generation are fixing that slowly but they are so expensive! I'm thankful my game doesn't need them other than a quick name block so you know which district you are walking around.

 
Feel free to do what you want. Here is the chipset if you want to play around with it 

Thanks, Momo! I'm going to try adding that skull wall to my Ether maps because the Ether tunnels are supposed to be a realm if spirits but the tiles I have look more like diseased floating islands.

Thanks Donut, I'm following Whale on RMN as well. Looking forward to see it's progress and to get to play it. I really like the one bit style, it's not the easiest thing to get readable but you done a good of it.

I took a look, and I don't think so.  I might have actually got rid of anything that was derived from another game.

I feel weird posting my screens because they don't look nearly as good as the ones posted above - but I guess that's what this thread is for!



I'm trying to figure out where to go with the color scheme in the wall art.  Should I take the colors from the sprite or find an in-between?  It just looks like too much of a contrast at the moment.

I think you need some lower saturation, especially with the black outlines against them

[Zoltar]

That looks mondo neat!  The posters are so bright and vibrant despite the dank of the cave. The style of the charaset itself is also very original and dynamic looking.

No no that's not true, your screens look nice really good! You make a very neat use of the chipset.


For your new screen, As Prpl suggest, you should make them less bright, because they drag the eyes of the player a bit too much. Except if you want it to stand out for a very good reason (plot related or something), you should decrease the saturation a bit.

So some of you might remember "Misadventures of Jet and David"? Well I've been re-working that on my DA a little at a time. Mostly just gender flipped the heroes and toned down their power sets, gave Bob real muscles and oh yeah created my own system 1 that's a little matrix styled and re-worked my maps. Added some real doors instead of those two bit bars I was using before. -_-; OOoh so ugly. Took the secruity gaurd out of the room where the Prisoners are and added a door in it's place. Oh you might also notice a little thing with the facset showing the name instead of the message panel. Did that to be lazy I'll admit! XD

That's actually quite clever

[Fisherson]

That's actually quite clever

Thank you. Alas It's not easy with the window size to find the right font on longer names. I mean Eva, Bob and Flow even fit but names above five letters are harder. I'm going to have to develop a custom font to fit the smaller lettering. There's also the matter of every NPC having a name/ limiting those names to five+. But it looks weird if you use text for NPCs and name plates for heroes, right?

[Momeka]

Looks nice, Fish. Are those wall tiles from doom?

My chain game chapter is done, so back working on this thing.

[Donut]

I'm in love with your game

A little test I made a while ago, found it in my old projects folder. There's only this screenshot left. It was supposed to be a 1vs1 Rythm RPG, possibility to switch between 4 characters with different abilities and affinities. Other than this screen in itself, I had just made the battle system, no other locations in itself. As often with my projects, I lost interest once I had everything working and that was just content adding to be done.

I might rethink the project anew, once I finish THW.

[Momeka]

Oh man, I really like the art!

[Momeka]

Made a chipset thing to go with the weird hood creatures
