[Winds Whisper Release!]

I sure did. :]

Finally found a use for woodcutting, too. You can now sell Fir Wood to the local lumberjack for 3 gold a piece :D

The Priest in the church will now also heal you, if you're not a pker.

[Winds Whisper Release!]

Started work on the 'Herbology' skill which you'll unlock later down the 'Herbology' quest line. :]


[Winds Whisper Release!]

Made a quest system. Ronald the paedophile sits outside of town using any Takai Root you give him to make some date ra… Takai Potions. I seem to have broken my takeitem subroutine though, so at the moment you can use one root to make infinite potions. That would be a pretty devastating bug, if you couldn't already use a potion infinite times anyway xD



[My first Sign]

0/10.

My 5 year old brother knows how to use the gradient tool in Photoshop.

[Pq Map for Exp.O]

Tbh, I think the rotation is far too much. Would look a lot neater with some zany re-colours or simply some distortion to the graphics.

Here's some quick skewing I did in paint. You'd get some better effects with more time put into it.


[GUI Experimenting]

@Gamabot:

> i men't how do i use it ?

Go learn to articulate yourself properly, then come back and ask me things.

[Yet another GUI.]

Haha. I have no idea, Magdreamer used those icons. I'll update it later on with some new icons.

[Yet another GUI.]

Going to sleep. Just a quick look at what I've been doing with the GUI.


[Yet another GUI.]

Due to popular demand, I'm bringing back the old style components.

**Mine:**

**Rory's**

**Combined!**

Finally got my old domain off of my ex-host.

Uploaded the old skin, but I couldn't find an uncorrupted copy of the database, so you'll need to re-register if you had an account last year :3

[Yet another GUI.]

More than any of the other icons I have do xD

[Yet another GUI.]

Switched out the icons to match the equipment menu.

Not as easy as that. I saved the .psd as a flattened image by accident, so I'm having the build the GUI around the basic, but without changing it xD

I'll try it a bit later by re-doing the border with a new texture.

Added icons and began work on the equipment menu.

@Desiderium:

> I think some Icons or something would make it look nicer.

Agreed. Doing them now.

[My Button]

o.O

Anyway… if you can put that button into a matching GUI that looks good in your game, I'll give you a medal, because it's bloody impossible ;D

Keep your GUI simple. Use a couple of textures, keep it neat and tidy and make sure it doesn't draw attention away from the game itself.

[My Button]

By shiny, I mean it's far too 3D for a 2D game ;D

As for the old-school feel, I don't see how such simple games could have any appeal any other way o.O

[My Button]

It's too big and too shiny. A GUI made up of components like that will not match the old-school feel and simplicity of an Eclipse game.

[First Ever GUI]

Use something other than paint.

You can't make a good GUI without at least a few features from a higher-level image manipulation program.

Try the GIMP. It's free.

[Winds Whisper Release!]

Don't worry. You only missed a lot of running around through maps and cutting down a _lot_ of trees.

Here's a quick glimpse at the new GUI :P


[Winds Whisper Release!]

Haha. xD

Just programmed an auto-updater and working on re-doing the GUI now :]

Also, the next release will have a simple quest system to keep you all occupied. I can only spawn so many trees for you to cut down xD

[Winds Whisper Release!]

Server down. Re-working a couple of things then I'll re-release in a couple of days.

Huge thanks to those who played. Was a fun test and I now know what I need to work on before getting a more functional release out.


[My first (and only) Eclipse game xD]

Hehe. Released it.

Finally. 4 years after I first came up with Winds Whisper, it's nearing release.

[My first (and only) Eclipse game xD]

Well, this one started out in Konfuze, then ported to Elysium, then port to Eclipse, then ported to Mirage. I used it as the base for Essence, so I'm just gonna use the latest release of that. Saves me having to re-do any of the programming and I can just concentrate on making some fun quests and balancing the classes out.
