ANARYU'S PROFILE

Nice that it's not limited to RM.

Got an idea and getting started.

I wanted to thank everyone for the input on this! It's been really helpful and we've been asking around through a few different avenues.

Our current plan is to take this commercial in 3D - before we get too far we'll be doing a small demo with a completed environment and some rough combat. If that looks as good as we hope we'll probably continue on the 3D path, otherwise we might switch to 2D if it doesn't look possible or too hard to maintain.

@BurningTyger: If Krisanna took on a normal job her rate of finishing either 2D or 3D artwork would REALLY slow down - to the point that it'd be half a year before we likely even had a working demo.

If only this has been during this week and not the previous. : (

Yay! A review for our first game ever finally! : )
(Did you know this game is older than RMN itself?)

It's more positive than I thought, I can agree with a lot of your issues there, I love the ideas and combat behind this one but the characters do across really stale.

One thing I learned is that when I started writing (still something I'm learning the basic amateur level stuff about) the characters had more personality in my head, and it never really comes across in the dialogue and and scenes.

Sorry for some of the issues you had while playing this and glad some of it was interesting at least!

@LockeZ: We used full-size before, but the effort wasn't really worth it, especially since animations needed to look more realistic too. So we modeled it after the sprites from the game and stylized it a bit to an approach that remains easy to use but high quality looking (hopefully!)

Since the art style is heavily anime-ish, makes sense to go with models that suite the same style. Gotta play off your strengths!

View is going to be similar to this:

author=NewBlack

author=LockeZ
Her eyes are so massive and her feet are so tiny.

I really like the outfit though.

That's a he! @Anaryu when/where are you posting about these exciting new developments?

We haven't posted much except those images on our blog.

A few 'inside' updates I still have URLs for though:

and I've been finishing some tools for the 'tile' style editor we're using:

Those were from about a week ago, lot of progress since then. : )

In particular I've got an event system very akin to an RM one working now, just finished parallel handling (so any 'event' can run it's own interpreter instead of going through the main one.)

Next is the culling and handling of switching floors so that you only see your floor and down and only see inside when you're inside a building. Once that's automated I'll start on the combat system.

Alaria's one is almost done, takes a bit over a day to 1.5 days to finish one of these guys (minus animations) now that we've got the base done and rigged (female and male base):


just finishing the hair and then seeing about using soft bodies to move her tie and hair.

We were going to wait until we had a working tech demo before posting the new project and maybe taking it a bit further!
