luriok Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 **Game Title**: Elliptical Diffusion**Engine**: Project Vertigo (I believe)**Genre**: Semi-Dark FantasyMORPG - Side-scroller.**Features**:* Choose between the alliances of good and evil.* An extensive pet raising system.* Mining, woodcutting, blacksmithing, spellcrafting, and many more useful systems.* Create your own character's appearance! Choose his clothing, hair style and colour, eye type and colour, and much more!* An original soundtrack from the mind of Burstknuckle, famous for his works in SpherEternity: Fallen Angels.* Travel an exquisite and beautifully pixeled world and brave colourful and unique creatures and dangerous perils as you challenge Astromith, or join him in his reign of darkness!**Storyline (WIP)**:>! In the distant land of gladiators as the last of the contenders fell to the barren ground in defeat…>! In the hidden thicket of forest home to the skilled rangers who mark their hunt with torrents of arrows...>! In the town of magic where new ideas are always brimming and people fill their heads with knowledge....>! The sky starts to fall.>! In the gorging darkness that covers the span of all eras, a formidable foe with the ability to warp time and space appears. His eyes aglow with a greedy lust for all the peoples who would eventually become ants in his clutches, as the world in all of their time planes tremble at the sound of his name.>! "I am Astromith, the bender and keeper of time. Heed my warning. You shall deliver up your best to test my ultimate power and I will feed upon their skills until they are dust and the universe is mine.">! The three champions of their era rush forward into the void, swallowed up instantly into Astromith's dimension of ultimate test. The warrior, a gladiator in their time, blessed with the ability of strength and fortitude, raises their sword high into the sky. The bowman, readying their arrows, nod to their campmates before following the menace. The mage, confident in their arsenal of spells, snaps their fingers as they teleport into the abyss.>! What will become of the three champions? Will their integrity keep them steadfast to their goals, or will they become corrupted by Astromith's dastardly coercion.>!

luriok Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Sorry for double postHere's a screenshot with my custom sand tiles.![](http://www.freemmorpgmaker.com/files/imagehost/pics/a0d1f435a191dfdc78bd3094e554c40b.PNG)Tell me what you guys think of them.

gamesucker Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 What's with the grassy background?But I do like the tiles, although it would be better if it was separated into two sand tiles, one for the top, and one for under. Not a lot of detail under the very top, and the top shouldn't look so flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawQuart Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The sand looks sort of gloppy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToshiroHayate Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 It seems Project Vertigo is getting quite a bit of attention lately. :)As for the sand tiles, it looks too much like a pattern, you need to make it look more pixelated or grainy.

SawQuart Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah. That was the word I was looking for Tosh, grainy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Microwave Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yea, the sand tile looks repetitive, but creating a separate for top and bottom, as batman said, should help with that. Not much yet to judge, but best of luck with your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The pixel art for now is horable.You need to work more on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luriok Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks for all the comments. I know the sand tiles don't look that good, but they were also my first (side) sand tiles ever, so I wasn't to sure how to do them. I know i need to fix them up because it is repetitive.@Batman the grassybackground comes with Project Vertigo. I just haven't changed it yet.@Absolute Thanks I'll take a look at them.

NnsNightshade Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well originally we had a team vote between four different sprite stayles, and 2 of them tied, so I combined the look into that base. :PThe first one I made was very Gaia-like, and thats one of the ones that were chosen for the tie.Also, I can't edit the first post. I'm not the project owner, Azyru is. I'm just a lowly artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luriok Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Quick post guys, the forums in my sig and the first post will no longer be used. If you want updates you have to goto: http://s4.zetaboards.com/White_Circle_Studios/index/ Although you won't see the games section as a guest (I believe), so you will have to sign-up to read the latest updates.
