WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

I don't know anymore, but I'm trying to get back to making a game, I don't care, but I stil want to try.

End Love: Seafarer. For rpg maker VX. Not Ace, due to the Icons screwing my menu. Something happened there, can't fix it.

A game in a pirate type era. It's not good yet. I suppose End Love is basically the series name, though I properly won't even get far, and just be overly cancelled again, gosh.

Ratty, I really love those battlers you use =). The world map could use some work though. I was kind of pondering what seemed so off about them, but I think I got what makes it look a bit weird to me: your trees are nicely overlapping and so do the mountains when they are 2 tiles wide. However, when they are single, they are spaced out from each other a lot. Maybe you could edit the chipset a bit so the single mountains also overlap each other?

So now for my progress: school and work threw me back a little and got a bit bored of eventing the menu. So I made a little 20x15 map and opened Paint shop pro (yeah I use that XD) and tried to add some overlays to the screenshot to get/set some general feel/mood/atmosphere for my game. Since it's basicly all psp stuff I refuse to post it in the screenshot topic until I got a solid map with the effects added, but I first would like to have your guys opinion on it. Is it to much, is it too stupid, is the atmosphere bad for the kind of game I intend?

Well first some quick info about my game then: It is set at an utopia like city, but in the background there is still a lot of bad shit happening. Once you get out of the main city area's (which are intend to be both "happy" and "sad" at the same time through flowery cityfolks accompenied with some bad weather to set the "shitty" mood) you get to see the "bad" side of the city (like the sewers in the picture).

If you want it to feel like it just went from utopia to dystopia, this is probably perfect. The way you did the lighting by brightening the lighter areas creates a pretty thick glare effect, like trying to shine headlights through fog. It's actually really fitting here, especially since you already have the fog also. But in most areas you probably want to do the overlay by darkening areas, not brightening them. The blood doesn't look much like blood and should probably be darker red, and possibly less transparent.

I need to figure out how to do shit like this because that looks really super sexy.

Thanks for the kind words =). I actually did darken some areas (some random shadow), but it's eaten up by the light and fog XD. Still learning how to do the blood though, it's a bit tricky. I'll try to work on the shadows some more next time, but I'm allready glad I got the feeling right.

Currently trying to think of concept designs for my dungeons for this beta. For all 18 of them. Got maps from mapper after 4 months, and they weren't up to par with what I was wanting them for, so need to fix these maps before I can fully go on with the storyline of my game. Really need to find some people that are good at brainstorming and coming up with good map ideas/designs to help me out on this. Ugh...x_x;

That error seems kind of self-explanatory.

I'm working on and off on my "The lost city of Heira" RPG. So far I've got a solid opening for the hero (the opening 20 minutes, basically), and the basics of a good battle style down. I don't really think I have anything good enough to screenshot yet. Also, between my school, other personal projects and my blog taking up a lot of time, I'm not spending a lot of time on making the RPG.

My biggest problems are with a few non-functioning skills (defender, for example), at the moment.

Oh, and one thing that I'm REALLY proud of is my patrolling guard system. I made a system where towns and dungeons will have patrolling guards. The town ones are the best though. If you enter line of sight, they chase you. If they catch you, you can bribe them and they will leave you alone. If you fight them, then all guards go hostile and try to chase you. By entering a dark alley or leaving town, the guards all reset to normal. :P The best part is, I can PAUSE the guards if you open a chest or something through a switch. If they're on patrol and the switch is on, they ignore you. If they're hostile and the switch is flipped, they stand there and wait to resume the chase. :P It's awesome.

I'm working on expanding the size of the party in all situations in LSX - it's a little more time consuming than I originally thought, because everything was spaced out with the assumption of 4 characters in the party, so it includes remaking a few background images, particularly for the menu.

Working on a dungeon that you get dumped in the middle of due to story-related stuff. Due to my newness, I actually haven't done this kind of dungeon yet. New experience!

I finally have enough graphics done to make the intro for my Lite game! Let's do this \(@.@)/

I was re-working Arbiters From Another World a bit. More specifically, I did some work on a world map. It passed initial testing, but, I think I might have missed something.

With Konae Detective Agency, there's term I've been meaning to change for a while. However, I've been abhorrently lazy about making said change. So sue me.
