WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

Hey now, FF3 is a great game as long as you have the cheat codes on and don't actually try playing it. Thanks for the advice, LockeZ, I think you've hit on the direction I'm gradually going. In a bit of crossover bastardization, I might end trying for something class to DQ7'S job system, though we'll see.

Beautiful work, goatboy. :0 As I only began my pixel conquest last year, I really can't offer much advice apart from admiring how clean your work is. XD And the palette, of course.

Before and after screens of my own works.

I'm easing back in after a long and well needed break.

Going to get back to Mayhem Maiden soon, once I'm able to put together a good gimmick for my third dungeon (I'm toying with a Teleporter puzzle, but it's hard to plan out on paper. :( ).

In the meantime, I've been messing around with a sci-fi dungeon crawler I'm thinking of making (found a way to make "shield HP" that recharges between battles, for example), and trying to find ways to make it show full "battlers" for my party instead of just faces.

Cap_H, I vote for the one on the far left, or the third one as a runner-up. The others are too fat.

Definitely add the pompadour hair from the second one though.

I'm currently in the planning stages of a Final Fantasy fangame, getting the plot, playable cast, and job class system ironed out.
My plan is the make a game modeled after the SNES and PS1 entries that's as on-par with the official series as I can get it to be in terms of quality. (Due to being made in RPG Maker 2003, the graphical style will be based on the SNES entries, with FFVI-style character sprites).

While I haven't developed the plot enough to feel comfortable talking about it in-depth publicly (and I want to keep spoilers to a minimum), the setting is entirely new, with modern-level technology, although there's still a fantasy flair to it.
In terms of gameplay, it's going to feature a system, tentatively called the Crystal Core System, that combines the Job System of III and V with the Relic system of VI. This system makes use of the equipment slot that is by default allocated to Accessories, and there are three subsets of Crystal Cores.

• Memory Cores, which change a character's Job Class. The six basic Memory Cores are Warrior, Thief, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage, and Black Mage. These basic Cores can also be crafted together in a process called Core Alchemy to create additional Memory Cores for more complex classes. For example, combining a Warrior Core with a White Mage Core creates a Paladin Core, while combining that same Warrior Core with a Black Mage Core creates a Spell Fencer Core.

• Guardian Force, or GF, Cores, which change a character's Job Class to Evoker and enable them to summon the Eidolon associated with the Core they've equipped to replace them in battle temporarily.

• Relic Cores, which don't change Job Class, but have other beneficial effects, such as wreathing a character in a protective aura at all times, giving the user an additional Personal Command, or causing HP to be recovered as the party travels.

While there is a Job System, each character also has their own personal Job Class, and command (which they retain in other classes in addition to those classes' Job Commands), instead of having them all be Freelancers. Each character will have their own personal variant of each Job Class, in a sense, having personalized stat balances and learning slightly different sets of skills, sometimes in different orders, from the same pool of skills based on the class. While every character gets the basic spell lines (Cure, Fire, Thunder, Blizzard, etc.) in the classes that can use them, their spell lists are otherwise personalized, and which of those spells they have access to depends on their level, and which of the three colored Mage classes (or Sage) they are.

Finished Stage 2, hell yes!

Now I really gotta go back and bugfix. Make it so you can't use weapons while climbing or carrying, etc.

Current spriting work for game, convenience store and train.

For me, it's the opposite; I've been busy as hell yesterday so I haven't been able to get done nearly as much as I wanted to. That, and I just woke up, so I dunno if I'll be able to get where I want to today.

Oh well, no rush!

Also, that train looks very good so far, char! Store doesn't look too bad either.

Ive given up on the teleport puzzles for now. I've switched that dungeon idea with one that was supposed to show up later.

So now, I'm making lots of THESE:

I'm sure anyone who's played Golden sun can figure out pretty quickly what the mechanic at play is here. XD

So, They are about to date a zombie.
