RPG 20XX Engine

It could be possible with messy edges though, no? I mean, if a tile has full blocking, then the player couldn't move into that tile... at all. There are a few SNES games that handle pixel movement like that; they let you move pixel by pixel, but if you hit a blocking tile, you can't move into it at all (even if it seems like you should be able to).
Yep, thats better than no pixel movement.
IDK. Seems kind of worthless from a design standpoint if there is no explicit reasoning behind it. Most people just want pixel movement because "cool, different!" other than having a practical use for it.

Pixel movement would also require changing the way tile collisions are handled... It is difficult to implement that kind of system when you have limited control over the exact places where tile passability ends. That boils down to editor modifications for decent control over pixel movement, but I am sure something very rudimentary is possible.

Final Fantasy VI Esper Configaroation

I'd also like to note that sometimes shadow joins carrying {INTERCEPTOR EGG}, which when hatched gives Relm a new paintbrush.

Final Fantasy VI Esper Configaroation

After reading this analysis, I think it will finally be safe for the die-hard FF6 community to bump down Terra into OU, but Locke will remain in UB, partially because of his broken curaga. This should satisfy the 12 year olds still playing in the uber tier and keep the die-hards happy. Beware though, equipping an esper like Maduin dangerously offsets Terra's STAB with ice and with the right UVs (I had to restart FF6 about 16 times to get it) she might actually be nudged into the top tier.

Shadow is still NU, don't even fucking try to reason that throw will make him useful. If you manage to get him to join with bloodthirsty/nurturing nature, it might be shy of UU. Still has weakness to vanish + doom OHKOs though. Good luck in season 12!

Lets Talk 3dMAX

I've heard rumors over the past several years that Autodesk will eventually merge Maya and 3DS. Might want to learn to like both... ::)

Help! My RM2K3 game got screwed up?

This sounds like the very rare bug where the entire database becomes corrupted. It's not an easy fix, so I hope you have a backup of your RPG_RT.ldb file. Otherwise, my condolences...

(Backup your projects weekly or even daily, nobody in the professional world keeps only one version of their stuff laying around)

Lets Talk 3dMAX

Try rendering with a complex shader + volumetric lighting, you're easily going to take up 3-4GB of ram. The main issue with 3DS is similar to Maya in that it's very frightening to new users and has dozens of menus and functions that people generally don't need. I've a strong bias for Cinema4D these days as opposed to Maya or 3DM, as its GUI is greatly streamlined and has very efficient rendering modules. That and the latest version R12 is just a massive step forward for the program in general. First version that really made me decide to abandon other 3D environments...

C4D is slowly creeping up on established programs like 3DS Max as the industry standard. Huge budget films like Inception, The Golden Compass, and Spider Man 3 made use of it. I don't think it's as big for the gaming industry as of this point, but it very well could be.

e: maybe this should be a general 3d computer graphics thread so we can partake in more meaningful discussions like the age old debate of NURBS vs. polygons

The Screenshot Topic Returns

author=Necrile


Exciting to see a tactical RPG for once, but please do something about this screenshot post-haste. It took me five minutes to figure out I was looking at a ui and not random sprites strewn across the screen. Unless of course your aim is to recreate this:



Also seconding the need to re-think the font. It's really astounding that there's a typographer out there who was so profoundly incompetent that he managed to create a sans-serif which looks like a bubbly mass of blurry garbage.

Wait, this is a commercial project? I'm sorry, but we have strict rules against that. We provide free coverage and advertising for non-commercial games only. Sorry.

EDIT: By "ps" I assume you mean photoshop? Creative suite is not just photoshop. its aftereffects and other video editing software as well. (These aren't available for pc).
Um, yes they are. The entire Creative Suite is available on PC.
Ah yes they are. For me personally though, I can't use Premiere and aftereffects since i'm on 32 bit. I'd have to upgrade my version of windows.

EDIT: The other reason is I already have a mac version of cs5

You would not want to use After Effects on 32 bit anyway. It's such a resource hog, especially on rendering. Better off using Nuke or the outdated Shake for video compositing software.
