Possible for you to put it on a darker background and a high quality. Its very hard to see what to C&C. From what i can see - . The shoulders need a little bit of work, as they form into a weird shape where the neck should be. . No mouth / nose? . I cant see any feet. . Some more defination where the hands are to layout the fingers . Mo defination on the waist area looking foward to see inprovments

@MrMiguuâ„¢: > But my game isn't just GFX and ideas. Unless they use 2.7/2.8 to make their game's engine, I have a the only fully working engine for a side-scrolling project. Plus, I have been working much longer and have put much more dedication into Lostica than Hippoman has put into World's End. I have no doubt that Lostica will be something special, as I have seen many of the build up projects leading to the creation of it. I didnt mean to flame or bash either game just comment on the engine that you have created for this thread and appreciate the fact that you have cept it a closed source engine. In all hounesty I have no knowledge on the engine that the people at Worlds End are using, I thought it was suggested from an earlier post that you may have given them your engine for their development. Sorry to go off-topic a bit.

@Yakura: > Well at my opinion, ye only start a forum for a source when its fully yours scripted. And besides it won't be a Closed Source anymore when you make 1\. Cause every member could download it then and it would get public by getting alot of members. ;) Yes, however I fully understand why he doesnt do that. From an outside developers frame of mind I would love to have this open source, as i'd say around 98% of the people here would not have the first clue as to making their own. As far as I know ther are only two actively developed side scrolling games, Lostica and Worlds End, which that alone sets them apart from the hundreds of other crappy, generic projects roaming about, why give that up at all.

Impressive, very nice work. Respect you for keeping this closed source, however ever thought of getting your own forums, or maybe a sub forum here for this mod.

I like the style, but think (just my opinion) that the middle, more extended tree looks a little oddlyshaped for that style of tree.

Heya guys, Yet another GUI, gone back from 800x600 to experiement with some smaller sized GUI's, im getting quite a collection of gui's now hehe - *images removed* C&C away! As allways ignor the mapping, and some of the icons. whats the verdict? Thanks, Munky.

Not a badly put together tutorial, but anyone who needs help creating a screenshot should not be on a forum based in game design. My opinion ofc.

@Tyr: > Also the eye is from WoW or something? I remember seeing it somewhere. I got the eye from a ripped graphics pack, as Ive not spent the time to create my own yet, probly have seen it before @[GrimTechâ„¢: > Ï‚à ¹Ð³Ñ”×¥ link=topic=46629.msg474494#msg474494 date=1245354908] > as for the gui its awesome. for the maps, ur mixing and it looks bad Thankyou, I forgot to mention in this post that im NOT a talented mapper hehe. Anymore C&C guys? going to start finishing it up soon, its grown on me :) munky.

Heya guys, Been experiementing some more with transparency, came up with this. Mite finish it and render it all, not decided if i like it too much yet or not - [](http://img268.imageshack.us/i/59165883.jpg/) C&C away…. munky.

You spelt 'blades' wrong, its spelt like this 'warcraft'

Really nice man. Very artistic, not the most easiest thing in the world to read but if it was looks you was after for the flyer you got it spot on.

You have to be retarded to get that in the first place. Tell the dude to change his msn password and he will be ok… ateast till he next enters his details randomly..

Mhh second attempt at sorta the same thing, not as good as I would of liked but a slight improvement (I hope) [](http://img29.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lolfxe.jpg) Ment to be like a farmer turned warrior.

Nah im not younge, just never drew anything much before. Im looking to improve so I understand exactly what you guys are getting at, like I said with my next attempt im going to focus on getting it more anatomically correct and scaled properly.

@[SB: > Ninja-Tech link=topic=45966.msg466695#msg466695 date=1244402326] > free hand? > k well a humans head is never a circle lol > one arm is longer than the other > legs look weird. > i suggest designing the outline before u start adding more stuff > thats what i do when i draw Yeh was free hand, I did try and use layers to build up from it but just ended up drawing over them lol I see what you mean about the hands and legs, next attempt i will try and be more anatomically correct. Thx for the advice.

Heya guys, I got some time leading up to uni so I thought i would try something that ive never done before, draw freehand… my drawing skills suck but im looking to improve so I thought I would post my sketches here for some C&C. I will try and keep this thread up to date as I improve. Here is my first sketch, probly the worste you will ever see on these forums, but the best I can do (for now) - [](http://img200.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sketchp.jpg) Please C&C so I can inprove, regaurds, Munky.

Heya guys, Been experienting with VB and some GUI methods, Needs some work, the health / mana bars are a little bugged and the text is a little unclear - [](http://img193.imageshack.us/my.php?image=guitest.jpg) C&C is welcome please. Would love to hear some comments. Many thanks, Munky.

Good work on version two. Much better overall

@Robin: > Glad to see you learnt some logical negation from me, but it shouldn't be used in this context. > > Make a new sub and call it in your GameLoop, preferebly within a 25 tick timer. > > ``` > If (frmCredits.Left = frmMainMenu.Left) And (frmCredits.Top = frmMainMenu.Top) Then Exit Sub > frmCredits.Left = frmMainMenu.Left > frmCredits.Top = frmMainMenu.Top > ``` > Re-name frmCredits to your chat form, obviously. And frmMainMenu to frmMirage. Ahh I see, the method you used is much more efficent. Thankyou for that, slowly learning.

@V-Rage: > use the game loop Ahh thankyou for that one, I saw that I placed it slightly above the main loop. ``` If ChatX = 0 Then ChatX = frmMirage.Top If ChatY = 0 Then ChatY = frmMirage.Left If Not frmMirage.Left = ChatX Then TxtChatForm.Left = frmMirage.Left ChatX = 0 End If If Not frmMirage.Top = ChatY Then TxtChatForm.Top = frmMirage.Top ChatY = 0 End If ``` Im very new to VB but I just wrote the above peice of code and it seems to be working.

Heya guys, Made this very simple peice of code for my game, perhaps some of you may find it usefull. I would reccomend using this too - http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,28926.msg254134.html#msg254134 1\. Firstly make Command button or label, its up to you, Once you have decided draw it anywhere on your forms canvas - [](http://img5.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tutorial1l.jpg) 2\. Now double click it object you just placed to enter the code view, now enter the following code within that sub. ``` If txtChat.Visible = True Then txtChat.Visible = False Else If txtChat.Visible = False Then txtChat.Visible = True End If ``` You now have a handy button to display/hide you chat box :)

Heya guys, I made a seperate form for my chat window and made it transparent, Ive set it so by default it is allways ontop of the frmMirage but nothing else. I want it to be able to follow the frmMirage if it is moved, i tried this - ``` TxtChatForm.Left = frmMirage.Left TxtChatForm.Top = frmMirage.Top TxtChatForm.Hide TxtChatForm.Show ``` to no avail, here is an image of what it looks like right now - [](http://img4.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorwxb.jpg) So to say again I want to get it to FOLLOW frmMirage. Any help is appreciated.

@Ambard: > The tree is custom as are about 60% of the graphics in the game. A lot of the buildings, plants and sprites are reiners. Ah ok, I am too using some of his models for a little side-project. Your game is an inspiration in terms of looks and playability. I hope to be able to reach about the same standard, on a much smaller scale though.

Updated again. Switched to a high resolution for the game screen, which means i had to pretty much start again. [](http://img189.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lolerv.jpg) . Nothing is rendered . Most of the icons are not mine . I exported it as very low quality . The colour contrast with the invetory and chat are VB problems im working on fixing. . I cant map to save my life lol Please as allways C&C welcome.
