THE SCREENSHOT TOPIC RETURNS

Those screens look awesome! I love the amount of detail and variety in them, despite the simple graphics. Are those custom, by the way? Please, make a game page! I need to see more! ...Oh, and do I spot a FF6 reference? ...Maybe not. =P

That looks, interesting. I wonder what your game is going to be about... But again, everything it's too dark! make it a bit clearer, please. Also, I don't think is right you display the message windows just for a "..." use emote bubbles for that instead.

The only real issue that I see with your screen is that the character stands out a tad much. Is not a big deal though, but it's also very easy to change. All you need to do is soften its sellout a little.

Also, lol at the difference of opinions. =P

Never used lighting effects before! Tried to make some kind of rich glitzy subway cabin. Off from law school (Hahvard) and into a Firm :> (no Phoenix Wright bro)

It looks very refreshing, as well.

Other than the black border around the part with the window. (The part to show he wall/ceiling) It throws it off because the window is so thin. It just looks like it would make a deformed looking train if looking at it from the outside. If that makes sense to you all.

I kind of get what you mean. Shorten the floor or heighten the wall. I'll try and work on perspective Dx Thank you!

@Miracle - I really like that! The candle seem to disappear in the walls, though. And just below each candle set there is a few pixels "missing" in the decorative parts of the wall.

Yeah I noticed that candle issue of them hiding in the wall. Thought the dark shading on some parts would be sufficient but guess not >< The parts that are "missing" are pretty much nonexistent, that's where it stops XD But I guess if it looks unfinished I could add some more, right?

Also, it's hard to tell that the black chick has eyes.

Ugh yeah that was a worry. Don't know what to do now but I'm sure I can figure something out. Thank you! :> So nobody called out my lighting so I'm guessing it's fine. Great XD

Also Link honestly I would start with the room structure before I start adding furniture or whatever. It's tons easier to remake a desk or chair than it is to edit the walls or ceiling (that's just me Dx) But you seem like you have a good handle on it, and it's nice to see more people making their own graphics. :>

I wonder if we're talking about the same thing now. In the bottom corners of each side of the window are 2 curved lines. At the apex of the upper line it almost looks like the outlining pixels got cut off. Every other part has an outline except that one little section. Since it's right in the middle it does look unfinished.

Ugh yeah that was a worry. Don't know what to do now but I'm sure I can figure something out.

Is there a reason her eyes are entirely purple-ish? Is that how everyone looks? Is she "different"? I would think you could use the bottom pixel (or two) as the pupil and have the rest showing white, or at least a brighter color.

So nobody called out my lighting so I'm guessing it's fine. Great XD

Yeah, the effect is cool. If you want to get all literal, it lacks shadow mostly on the center table. How did you create the effect?

Well I started with the big curved center piece, almost as a test to see how well I could do it. That will be on the upper layer. I want to make sure things will line up with events while looking like the original set. I'm thinking the room structure will be whatever is functional after every else is set it place? I'm really not sure what I'm doing though, this is a first for me :/

@Link_2112 - You're making a TNG fangame? O_O

Beautiful. Not overpowering, really good stuff. Maybe lower the picture slightly? The source of the light would cutoff at the top of the window.

Jakester- they look very bad.

the problem is that the pixels are huge and it's immediately noticeable. the pixels of those trees are bigger than the pixels from the other graphics so it's really offputting. if you wanna grab some bigger trees maybe you can jack them from some RMXP tiles?

With the big trees, don't just blur them, or keep them at 2x. Since they're a bigger resolution, you should go back in and work around the edges to make it smoother, by putting pixels in between the larger "pixels".
