You can upload images to your locker if you click on your user name on the top bar and select locker. I think users get 10 MB to start with. imgur is a good separate image host that works great too.

My halloween contest entry. I might... I might make it. We'll see if mostly-static attributes means that balancing fights is a cinch!

At least the mapping is like 75% done and almost all of the busywork is complete (and will be done within the next two hours).

Something FUN AND USEFUL (at least useful) that I've very quickly scripted are some Game_Screen snippets that make the screen go greyscale and then back to the original screen tone. I could do this with normal events, yeah, but it's so much easier to make the game just greyify the already-existing tone and not having to worry about situational/location-based screen tones to shift back to.

Working on a menu!



Yes, that is damn well what you think it is.

I'm trying to shorten the title "Love Has Eight Legs" to fit into the tiny-ass space the iPhone gives you for app titles. Basically I'm stuck with "Eight Legs" since:

Love Has Eight Legs
Love Has 8 Legs
Love has 8 legs

These all get shortened to something like "Love... Legs" which is a bit odd.

@UPRC: The curved corners turned out really well, I think that's what defines that Star Trek feel.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Love: 8 Legs

Eight Legs <3

I think the iPhone actually has a heart character you can use


UPRC: White on yellow is hard to read. Maybe either black on yellow, or white on darker yellow?

Yeah, I didn't quite like the look and changed it recently. I have newer pictures in the screenshot topic.

I quite like this one, I'ma give it a shot
The following are mockups.


Federation starship tiles!



Borg cube tiles!




I have much more done to the Federation starship tiles since I took that picture. There are ceiling tiles, operational sliding doors, windows, recoloured terminals, etc.

The Borg tiles will have lots more variety because their ships are so hectic. Still have to do catwalks, alcoves, nurseries, ceiling tiles, computer stations... also a panorama that will have a dark green abyss underneath the catwalks and see-through floor tiles (the tiles in the mockup with yellow squares). Will probably also darken the floor tiles and also keep in mind that Borg ships have that spooky green haze, so that will be present as well.

Also that really bright thing and small blue/green circles in the screenshot are a lights that will glow.

UPRC: I like the basement tiles. Are the Federation floors still all flat blue? I seems like that could be a bit confusing.

I'm debating between two icons for Love Has Eight Legs:



-or-



Any thoughts?
What basement tiles? :(

And no, they're not all blue. There are borders along the edges that still have to make more prominent. Keep in mind that those tiles will be used for corridors and not wide open spaces, so there won't be giant rooms of blue like that when I'm done.


I say that your bottom picture is better.


EDIT: Here's a newer picture that I forgot I had uploaded.

The Borg tiles, I think - I've only watched a bit of Star Trek here and there. I like the whole screenshot, especially the floors and the yellow/gray grates.

If you're gonna make a game that's called Love has Eight Legs I feel like cropping all the legs out of the icon is an uncool move. If anything, possibly crop the head out and only show 2-3 of the legs? Then it is kind of tantalizing: THERE ARE MORE LEGS THAN THIS BUT YOU HAVE TO CLICK TO SEEEEE THEM~~~~~~

Yea, I'm still digging the original icon myself. I wanted to try the Super Meat Boy headshot icon, but it doesn't really work when your character's head is boring and also not square.

LEGS IT IS

I'm really glad I'm forcing a deadline on myself for this game, because otherwise I would want to put it off until I got my art chops back 100%, which is gonna take a while.
MORE STUFF.



The little green circle on the alcove is animated.

uprc make a gamepage this is not the uprc thread

in all seriousness, your tiles are nice (that second thing in your latest post is pretty terrific; great work!) although I'm not a fan of your gradients; I suggest more dithering and less "I just learned Flash!" perfect gradients. I hate your menus a lot. They look like shit with the squished, hard-to-read text and the many-colors-on-black. White on yellow is impossible to read... I mean, here it is: I hate your menus a lot. That's twice now, I hope you get the picture.

Put this at the very top of your custom scripts list, it'll remove the box that appears as the <ENTER> character. It's by Victor Sant.

slashphoenix: yeah you need either the second image, or just a few legs. The headshot was good for SMB but this is not SMB.


THIS POST NEEDS MORE IMAGES so here's my awful logo for W&R. I'd put together something better but I need to fucking get the game DONE so a logo was an incredibly minor detail



goddamn those edges are shit.
Thankfully, I managed to dig up a backup of my main project, "Glass". I'm wrapping up the first "chapter", if you want to call it that. Just a couple cutscenes to go and the two main characters are out of the starting zone :-)

Craze: Apparently his ugly-ass menu is based directly on Star Trek's ugly-ass terminals from the show. So, you can't blame him for it (but you can still hate him for it).

I'll well aware; I'm a big Trekkie myself Voyager is the best. However, the main menu is not a terminal. It is the main menu. Terminals are terminals. Besides, you can use the essence of something without being 100% faithful, which is really what needs to happen here.

Something like a computer screen with DATALOG XXX.XXXXXX.XXX_ at the top would probably be much more suitable, or just a boxy menu screen with the Federation logo as a watermark. I'm thinking along the lines of the Xenosaga series...







EDIT: anybody working on a jrpg here who has not played xenosaga 3, go. right now. you need to go play it. it is a masterpiece that nobody likes, which is almost as sad as radiant historia (the masterpiece that nobody knows exists)

Gah, I played Xenosaga 1 a long time ago but I got turned off by like an hour of cutscenes and BS and never went back. I've been told it's good, but I never had the patience.
Got a tab open for the Wii U's 1st commercial.
