I've been making some animations for RMN Doomcastle and it looks fine i guess thanks to xenomic's magic exhibitions videos they're really helpful..

Finally things are looking up with this completely insignificant project. There was an instance where the fonts either didn't work or crashed the engine and one where the game wouldn't even start due to my noobness with Stencyl's event system.

But now the player can move, the ball hits those bricks and they disappear + give points, the font is workable in my opinion and finally I can do some more expansion on this.

The last thing I did was edit the collision box of the player bat so that the ball would bounce off the corners in a logical manner.

Yeah, I've used Xenomic's animation compilations to study RPG animations more than once XD
Something about listening to the boss music themes from the game Undertale is inspiring me to do the last remaining difficult thing to do for my Final Fantasy prequel project - mapping.

I just started on the area near Pravoka, I have to get this entire southeastern continent finished... Primarily Crescent Lake >.<



Ports and the ship will make for an interesting challenge... I have to find a way to prevent you from just docking the ship anywhere you want. Oy.

Thanks, unity!
I am working on different zones.

Finally received the new faces from my artist. Took a while since both of us were busy IRL.

got art, better cover it up with a shitton of ugly bars =|

surely you can do better than that. you've got tons of space, put the bars to the right or something?

I second putting the bars to the right of the facesets, or even making the bars smaller so that they don't obscure the faces.

Well, this is going to be tricky since up to five party members will be in battle. I'll see what I can do.

One thing you can do is try to make a test with all five party members, screencap it, and use it as a reference to try to see how you can make better use of the stat info.

After Pizza's critique I decided to redo my title for the breakout game. Which one clicks to you guys?

I like the second one, but the third is good too ^_^

The third version looks best to me, personally. The first one is most creative, but also a little too blurry to be easily read. And the second one isn't as pleasant to the eyes due to its brightness. Obviously, this is just personal taste, and the small size of the pictures a opposed to an actual screen size might influence my perception as well.

you could try 2 or 3 but with hints of the block separation in #1. you don't need your texture allll over the place!



look at the steps up to the building. There are bits of texture showing the bricks, but it'd be too busy if every individual brick was drawn.

@Craze: Interesting. I don't know why I didn't think of that. It's definitely worth trying out.

@Everyone else: Thanks for the feedback! It seems the most popular at the moment (I also posted this on my Twitter) is #3.

EDIT: Here is another attempt with the brick suggestion on #2 and #3. I think it looks better on #2.

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.

It's definitely way clearer what's going on with only one color

I'm curious what exactly you typed into google image search to get that, Craze. "game screenshot using incomplete pixel art brick texture that is kind of just phoned in" doesn't get me useful results for some odd reason
