SCREENSHOT SUPERBOWL SUNDAY

Mm, uploaded a little (laggy; my cheap comp couldn't handle recording and playing at the same time) video of some battle. I'm going to try to fix it up a bit though, as currently certain mechanics may not be obvious and may be frustrating:

And here's a screenshot-screenshot just in case:

Reives stuff always owns even though it is RTP.

I think I should keep this page going strong...

@Reives: How do you make RTP look so awesome?

A brown-colored filter and a black cutscene box?

And also, decent mapping, obviously.

Beatiful stuff there Magi & Reives It just looks so darn wonderful! I might need to ask you how to make my maps better, lol. :P

The simple answer is to study from the great masters themselves...

Thanks guys. c': And aye, simple recolours play a large part.

@Magi:
Love the sense of elevation there! The place looks very alive and natural. Haven't seen the colour combo much, but it's actually very pleasant, kudos.

@F-G:
For some strange reason the second screenshot is just so hilarious to me. I don't know why and I probably should take some medicine, but I can't get over how funny that log looks in it (not that it's bad, don't get me wrong). Nice tileset, I like it too. c:

Hehehe! I love that park! Just needs some sunbeams and it's perfect! Nice job! :)

Overlays get a bad rap because they are used poorly and everywhere like it's fucking Bahamut Lagoon. The worst offenders are overlays from beams of light and forest overlays that "follow" the screen. Canopy shadows and light beams are cast by a source and should not move on the map, but rather when you move off screen so should that detail...

Get this right and use overlays on occasion and your game will look very nice.
