LOTUS_GAMES'S PROFILE

Yes I certainly did, thank you! Perhaps I will make a tutorial on this in the coming days.

That is true they don't, looking back now, the positioning relative to the light source is what is off. I should have focused equally on the shadows as I did the lighting and tutorial but thanks for the feedback.

Thanks to Large and Avee for the comments, keep em coming guys and gals.

Edit: I have updated the final images with proper shadows. I dislike imperfection and feel it to be a negative reflection on myself and the Lotus brand. The new final images display shadows that are positioned better according to the light source. I hope this extra bit of effort will help those who are looking for a high quality guide, make this tutorial/guide just that for them.

I spoke with Tau and I know there was an issue with the New Game for my map: Haven.
I think the issue has to do with the logo.avi so I have re-uploaded a link without the .avi in the folder. Also the image you see for my map is not the original I sent to Tau. Here is my original post. If anyone is having issues please let me know and I will try to resolve them.

Notes from Lotus Games:
-You need RM2k3 RTP (Run Time Package) to run this game.
-Close other heavy processes/applications while the game is open to reduce lag.
-You can press the SHIFT button to turn the dynamic trees on or off. It is coded so that if the player is moving, it is automatically turned off (My logic behind this was that while moving, it's hard to tell dynamic trees are on anyways and so to reduce lag, it turns off when in motion. If it is turned on, the code checks to see if the hero is standing still for a second before turning the dynamic trees on). Again press shift to switch between (coded on) or (completely off).

Good luck to everyone!
