SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

Praise be to the Holy Aremen! I submit an offering!



So I got bored and made a new legendary weapon called the Holy Aremen. It scales its DMG and DEX stats to the level of the person wielding it, and is above average in general. Planning on releasing this as a promotional item only, available for like, the first week that the game is available to download. Oddly enough, with this loot system, you can have weapons that don't actually exist anywhere in the database and aren't hard-coded in at all, but if they were generated in a previous version (or in development during testing) they can be transported over using the Locker functionality present in the game. Because of that, this weapon can literally never be found in-game, but can be included in the download of the game and removed from the files later.

Ha ha, well, yeah, not exactly a screenshot showcasing graphics or mapping, but rather the custom equip screen. I wanted to display ALL the weapon stats and modifiers, not just stat changes and the description. It's a screenshot showcasing mechanics, rather than graphics.

Finally at the point where I can start working on maps for the next game I'm working on. Hoping to have a demo ready by the end of May, at which point I'll create a game page and submit updates and screenshots there, but for now this is what I've got. Just a simple forest map for the opening scene of the game. I bit the bullet and decided to get Celianna's Ancient Dungeons packs, since the quality and tone of the tiles fits the theme of this game really well. This uses a mixture of the Ancient Dungeons outdoor tiles and Celianna's regular Parallax mapping tiles.

That's some nifty looking forest, yo! It's pretty darn great, keep up the great mapping!

One more map to share before I actually submit a game page and start sharing these in blog posts instead.



Three more weeks and I'll have a demo ready.

Thanks! Strangely I did actually use an acrylic brush, but the particles may have been a little too densely clustered, giving it a bit of a more rounded edge. Next time I'll try something a little more dispersed.

First time mapping in MV, and kinda stuck with default tilesets since I don't know anywhere to get tilesets. I can't exactly replicate what I'm aiming for with the default tileset, and this doesn't look super nice to me, but...maybe I can get advice on this? It's very different compared to 2K3's mapping, which I'm more familiar with.

For the record, this is what I'm trying to replicate:

Is it possible to use a different tileset without changing tilesets? Or would I have to switch the tilesets to use the fountains and/or anything else I need? Also, is this map good so far??

(In addition to all of this, say that I want to transport 2k3 stuff over to MV. Is that even viable?? Not that I'm probably going to do that because that would clash with the artstyle of not only the tilesets, but the character sprites I'm using, but thought I'd ask)

The sprite style in question is here:

Trying out hand-drawn maps! This one is a WIP. Still not great at drawing these, but I think it's a decent start. Any thoughts?

Oh god, people remember Linus? Jeez lol. Thank you, regardless!

I'm actually working on it again after a long hiatus. Will probably be using this artstyle hopefully.

Also, Sunset Over Imdahl is a big inspiration for what I'm trying to do here! That and Saga Frontier 2. :p

Is this enemy way too dark?
