> Looks awesome possum possum! The sprites are quite similar to the game called "[Legend of Yore](http://www.legendsofyore.com/)" xD Or it must be perhaps LoY inspired? Thanks! & i've actually never heard of that, but it looks cool. Funny I happen to be using the same font for this game that they did XD > I'll be following this game. I like it jake, so keep it up! Thanks man! Hopefully you guys will be seeing some in-game tests in the new few weeks 

This was obviously photoshopped.

When you've been on eclipse over 4 years and never finished a game 

**Small Update:** Here is a test animation of "box sliding", which will be a big part of "Alex's" gameplay. BUT this action can only be performed by Alex (The Fighter)   ** Brick tiles are being updated for the game. For those that didn't read the info at the top of the topic, you can learn more about the backstory and concept of the game here: [http://forum.devoxst….php?topic=53.0](http://forum.devoxstudios.net/index.php?topic=53.0) - Jake

Just watch… [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H40wUz-Fd8[/media]

> I like it. It looks like a side scrolling, improved version, of Realm of the Mad God. I really hope this is better than that one. Thanks, & lol I didn't really like that game, so I hope too.

> Looking good, Jake! As always! Thanks bro! > It looks really good if you add in the game a sandbox features like in Terraria/Minecraft it will be epic. Thanks man! & Hm.. well I would, but honestly my goals for this project are the opposite. To stray away from what I've always been working on around Eclipse the past few years. I want to make something fun and entertaining, that has a good story and an actual ending haha

Nice art style! This guys an avatar fan, so I love this  - Jake

Introducing a new enemy, the "Raskull".  *Topic updated. - Jake

 **INFO:** >! Hey Eclipse! So I decided rather than posting a new topic every time I want to show something to you guys, I'd just create one overall topic to share graphics I do for the project I'm currently working on. Yes, you guys may have noticed, "hey, that looks a lot like Zephyr". That's because "The Adventures of Alex" is a single-player reincarnation of "Zephyr" being developed by me at Devox Studios. Figured I'd get my goals across better this way and improved the graphics a bit.  >! Note: I'm mainly showing graphics here, you can check out my official project board over on the Devox forums, for official updates ;D >! [http://forum.devoxst….php?board=29.0](http://forum.devoxstudios.net/index.php?board=29.0) >! If you want info on the back story and idea for the project, check here: >! [http://forum.devoxst….php?topic=53.0](http://forum.devoxstudios.net/index.php?topic=53.0) >! But anyway, here it is!  Alex (The Fighter)  Alex (The Magician)   Little Jack  Hive  Raskull     **Trees not to scale yet**  8/27/12 - Topic Created/Pumpkins & Bee's 8/28/12 - Raskull's –--------------------------------- Follow my blog, it's free! [http://jakesdev.tumblr.com/](http://jakesdev.tumblr.com/) Note: All work shown are mock-ups, and work in progress. - Jake 

> If it goes mobile, then that would be cool. It's what I'm hoping for! > I agree. Can't wait to see more of your work. Can't wait to share more! There's a lot more done than I've shown, just getting everything organized. You can check out the projects official board on Devox, for the full story/about section & future updates: [http://forum.devoxstudios.net/index.php?board=29.0](http://forum.devoxstudios.net/index.php?board=29.0)  - Jake

> If it is a bee, you should call it something like 'giant wasp' or whatever. Personally I'm no fan of design choices that, as example, would call a bee a random name like "rahgahblahwhatever' or something unnecessary like 'giant spineback eye gouger'. That's just my opinion though. Haha yea, I won't be naming it any crazy names. It would most likely end up being something like "giant wasp". But for example, the skeletons in the game will be called "Raskulls"  > Could you show us the enemies in the mockup? I don't think they will be of a normal proportion with the trees, and I really think that you should make them taller than the enemies. Yea, I will eventually when everything's more in-game & actually proportioned. The trees will definitely be bigger, and the panoramic in the background will also help have a more forest feel. I just prefered to keep the mockups small to focus on the things I was "showing off". haha This is the size of the screen for PC: >!  & This is the size if the game goes mobile: >! 

I'll go ahead and share the bee's idle animation that I just finished here too   It won't be called a "bee" but I'm still working on all the original names. & I'll update my blog when I finish the other animations (attack/death) **[- Jake's Dev Blog -](http://jakesdev.tumblr.com/)** Thanks, -Jake

Sorry to the people PM'ing me and asking for the files. This topic was posted almost 2 years ago, and like Joyce said, the attachments haven't migrated from the old forum  I'm sure you can find them, just like I did. If I randomly feel motivated, I might go track them down again. - Jake

Thanks everybody! & yes like namelesssoul said, the in-game shadows will be alpha blended, but this was just made for the mockup haha 

> Love your blog, Jake! Loving the progress as well! Thanks man! Will keep it updated too!

Just a forest mock-up I did. I've been working on adding a splash more of detail to my simplistic pixel style. I also plan on adding panoramic backgrounds for the full size screen (this is just a mock-up):  Note: This is not for "Zephyr" (or any Eclipse project), but if I return to create a spin-off orpg version of this game, I will be using the same graphic style of course. _Follow my blog for future updates:_ _**[Jake's Dev Blog](http://jakesdev.tumblr.com/) **_ - Jake

lol yes it's a robe, & thank you!

_-Intentional Double Post-_ Check out the new Jack O'Lantern animation I did as well: 

> Looks better! Thanks! > Nice that looks awesome for a Halloween event on a game  Haha thank you, hopefully it will be!

Thanks, I noticed right after I posted it! 

Hey, so it's a little early for Halloween, but I threw this together today. So let me know what you guys think!  >! Original Shadow Mistake (Yes, the shadow looks weird on the forum. But I plan to have it alpha blended.) - Jake

I've been waiting on this! I love to see Eclipse go through it's changes over the years, it's such a big difference from what we saw nearly 4 years ago. Just have to go fix my spoiler tags, doesn't seem to allow the >! code yet haha >! Again, great work! >! - Jake

haha yea, after a google search, it's the name of a series of poems and an oprah in the 1930's. As for writing, I think I'd be willing to help out. I'm a writer, and if I like your ideas, I think I'd try my hand at writing for this project a bit. ;)

Thanks everyone for your input. Yes, dubbing the two styles as "Retro" and "Chibi" isn't exactly accurate, because they are both just their own styles in the end. But I will take all your comments/votes into consideration, and talk it over with the team. Thank you! - Jake
