THE SCREENSHOT TOPIC RETURNS

Got the basics of my battle system done.

I have Fireworks, but I am not very good at editing stuff. I can do it if it's not too complicated.

I'm used to raster programs, rather than vector ones, so I'm not sure if you can do this in fireworks. (I highly recommend GIMP as a raster editing option.)

To fix the outlines, all you'd need to do is use a single-pixel brush in pencil mode. Select the darkest color on the sprite, adjust it so that it's several shades darker, and then just trace around the sprite with the pencil tool to add the outline. If you hit a spot that's a different hue, like the metal bits on the side of the vending machine, you'll probably want to switch to a darker version of that color.

To adjust the pastel building, your simplest option is to find the "Adjust Hue/Saturation" option, then bump the saturation up by about 50%. Make sure you do this in a file/layer with JUST the building you want to change, or else you'll end up saturating all the things, and that won't fix anything. (And may cause major eye pain from stabby colors XD )

Some screenshots.

Interesting map, reminds me of Fire Emblem!

@NOACCEPTANCE772 wow, the animation must look really beautiful and must have been pretty troublesome, since it looks like it`s picture based..

@Lihinel that looks very interesting and functional though once again it`s not yet all that pretty and polished, design-wise. But gameplay-wise it looks uber fun! This game looks interesting.

@Mr_Detective although I hate VX mapping this map looks pretty fun~
Is that map name a script addon?

Black Mage: "Enough with this Idiocity!"

first one. The second one just looks weird.

An exclucive screenshot from the upcoming presentation of my project "Re & Apophis" (it is not even shown on my homepage at this point). Those four "dark balls" are animated (Vx Ace animation "darken").
The presentation will be online on december 31st.


@8-Bit-Black-Mage:
Looks nice, like those old-school graphics.

@Pizza: Definitely the first one.

@diaeitsch: I can hardly tell the walls apart from the floor, other than the golden line.

@Topic: The last important system is done, now its time to put everything together.

To be honest, Mr_D, my first thought at looking at that map is "Gee, this game might benefit from having a zoomed-out city map rather than force players to walk all that distance to get places". Though, I am assuming there's more to that map than what you're showing, so...
