Mario

A while ago I was working on a game called Treeshadow. It was about elves and stuff, I had a pretty big game but I got rid of it all so I could start a new game from scratch. I started making all the tiles myself, all the sprites, the GUI, scripts, everything. thats why I never use the forum anymore, with work, designing my game and my life i dont have time. I started out making this new game with pen and paper work, have some idea what i was doing and not just jumping into it. I would sit there sometimes just brain storming. I drew the world, labled the cities mountains, lakes and rivers, kingdoms. I wrote down ever creature, depending on if it was domestic (attackable) or agressive what it dropped, experience, location. I wrote down and named every important NPC in the game. I wrote down items and what was needed to make certain things where you got them. I detialed every skill down to at least 4 pages each telling what i wanted to do with it and how it would work. I wrote pages and pages of quests. All in all i ended up with 447 pages front and back before there was even any work done on the computer, so I know and had a plan of what I was doing and going to do with my world. I put at least 4 months into this project just coming up with ideas and writing them down. After that, I had saved enough and bought a computer just for designing my game. I started out making the ground tile of the world, I would take hours just making small tiles that I would edit and edit again until perfect. I use 3 programs in making the tiles, so the GFX were smooth and you couldn't see the pixels unless you copyed it and zoomed in as far as you could. I tested the tiles to see if they were satisfactory and i was so amazed, it was awesome seeing your world come together like that. I made all the tiles from nothing, examples of previouse tiles and ones i have made and created a new and better. i made everything (mesh?) together so it looked like it belonged, not like most games i see here that are, messy. I placed size and color(blend) very important in my game, you cant have a player bigger than a tree or log. Some small things i did was, make parts of the grass blow in the wind, trees. I created a whole new weather system, day and night. I fixed it where the NPCs talk its in a chat bubble aswell. Right now i have been working on this about 6 months and I feel that i'm not even half way done. i dont want to release anything just yet but I can post something of my OLD game treeshadow. Picture of my OLD game Treeshadow (indoors) 

Hi, my name is Mario! I joined Eclipse back on March 21, 2006 and I have not been able to post a lot because at the begining of summer I was stationed with the marines and dont ask me questions about them, but while I was there I got a buisness degree and started some college work in programing. I started a business to take over the business aspects of running my game. I live in Utah and yes, I am a mormon and go to church every sunday, I dont swear, or do anything bad. On tuesdays I have missionary prep. I like programing and GFX design, I shoot guns a lot, I snowboard when I can but what I love to do is Vert, if you dont know what that is, its its like bmx. bmx is on dirt tracks and vert is on ramps, rails and half-pipes. I play guitar, I've played for 7 years and I perform sometimes when the fair comes. I'm hardly on the computer except weekends and even then I hardly am because of friends. I played RS for almost 6 years and I hate it, Andrew ruined his own creation in my opinion. Some pics of me:    

Man I remember way back when you were making crusade and I found out your like stealing content from another game, the name, the map names, man I thought you were smarter than that. And all thoes people talking about making a new RS and crap, its under copyright law and if you did you would probably be sued. Andrew gower pays people 30K a year just to find websites that offer cheats (which don't exist for rs) scam sites, or stolen content. A game of RS not owned by Jagex is major stolen content. Please make your own games, i've been gone for a long time in college. I started my own company and have my own business degree and im creating my own morpg.

Haha how long has it been? well i'm back again. if any of you remember me.

Hey all the old faces, and all the new!!! I've been with Eclipse for a while but I've been off doing stuff with my life and havn't had much time for computers but now i'm back and going to start working on my game again! I hope some people remember me, I know Baron will remember me, lol. I have some screenshots of the game I was working on below:  Lol, thanks everyone!

For my game that is… Check out my game at [http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html](http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html) and it only takes 5 - 10 seconds to vote, would it be so hard? :D Not a lot of the pages are done but being worked on.

Okay, if you have follow'd along with my game Treeshadow, then you would nottice that my design is always changing because my choice of tilesets are litlted with-out hours of editing which in the long run takes away from my game development. I have found a look I am contempt with, they are a bit sloppy but I'm OK with them. Treeshadow is a soon-to-be ORPG (Online-RPG) based in Elvish times. When ever I'm online I will be mapping, the maps I am about to post are just the ground work of the game, the real detial isn't even added yet. With features such as quests, skills like mining, theiving, woodcutting and more, even a option to be married. [http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html](http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html) .This is the world map so far: (Last Updated - 4.23.06)  This is just an example of a map:  And another example:  Check back for updates.

Can I change the exp in the game so it isn't so easy to level up? i want levels that people can be proud of. Also, can you make it so people levels appear to other players?

Okay, after my experience of being shot now i'm back, and i want a unique game. different, ever since i was little i always dreamed of being able to make a game and i dont have much experience programming so it was out of reach to me, untill marsh *team* brought eclipse to the world. I can now start making an online roleplaying game, for people to play and enjoy (become addicted) i want a team, and not just some some people, i mean, friends! who can work together, stangers at first but will work together for who knows how long as the game thrives and grows. I don't have much but i've been experimenting with Eclipse for a few months now and i have the hang of it so far. the tiles that exist arnt to appealing to my eyes so i've gone and dug up programs and seriously worked for hours getting these tiles out of snes games, so they might look familiar. this one i've been really drawn twards, it has a feeling i really cant explain but i see it falling together in my mind so clear. i know with the time and the right people this game can grow and succed, and credit go's to anybody that helps along the way. Thank you! Most of my tiles are taken out of Chrono Trigger with Temporal Flux (a program that digs into the snes rom and takes out the tiles, sprites, strings.)  Also, Baron i take my hat off to you at your coding skill, mapping and tutorials, with your help i was able to make skills like theiving, woodcutting, mining and i'm working on a fishing. I owe you so much as you helped in such a large part of my game. My team - I'm not really requireing much from anybody wanting to help but an imagination and ability to learn, i'm just a script kiddy willing to learn as well.

This is my new game, i'll post a link to the website and a few screenshots. We are currently going through a total GFX change, I am making them all myself. I think this picture is funny because its a mix between our custom tiles mixed with the origion tiles that came with Eclipse  I know this one is kind of big but this is our new custom tiles we are testing with for a bit to see if we can get a better feeling for the design.  Thats all for right now but please rate my maps or whatever. Thanks. Here is the link to the website [http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html](http://www.freewebs.com/treeshadow/home.html) The best way of helping is by voting! thanks.

where could i get some like these? the person that designed this is helping me with my mapping, but wont share… 

When I equip something look what happens to my guy.  Any suggestions?

Okay, I'm trying to design my own GUI for the game. Well, my question is how can you make the background where the news is posted transparent, if you even can, or add an image in its place? heres what I have: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/xiaoxiao/mainmenu.gif](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/xiaoxiao/mainmenu.gif) My problem: [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/xiaoxiao/messup.png](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v70/xiaoxiao/messup.png)

I'm working on a new game, I'll post some images here and hopefully it will get posted. Thanks for viewing, and any contributions/ideas would be appriciated. *NEW POST* I am thinking of a name for the game, don't judge it just by the images! There is a lot more to the game than what you see here, there is even a story line for thoes who arn't EXP fanatics. This is my first game so this may sound wierd but, I NEED THE CRITICISM! Please tell me if it stinks, theres only room for improvment! "The Images are in PNG format, so make sure your browser supports that." 001  002  003
