Haha, you must haven't seen my mapping yet ;D

Looking good, still asking myself why you're using RMXP?

[Robin]

Decided I should probably start mapping the ingame areas rather than just experimenting with tilesets. xD

Here's a quick design of how you'll start off in the game. The idea behind it is that you're a member of the military of one of the large global powers. You've been sent off to provide combat support to a small town. Yes, I realise it's the most generic ORPG starting area you can get, but I'm going to put in a bit of a twist. ;D

You'll also be treated to some nice cutscenes which, when coupled with the npc chat system, make a nice atmosphere.

Looks great, I really like the cave with lava in it

[Mulkaar]

The contrasting was a great idea and really goes well with the GUI goodwork and everyone stop dissing RMXP if it weren't for RMXP we'd probably be using the TE tilesets 0_O

Simply because these tilesets are by far the most complete tilesets around. (oh and I forgot to mention that they are done by professionals…)

yeah, professionals who knew nothing of color conservation and art theory. they are shameful at best. the only good thing to them is the line-art.

[Kinjiru]

Cutscenes? Awesome! I cant wait to see them!

[Zetasis]

I agree. I am more curious to how the graphics for the cut scenes will be. Will it be a pre-recorded video of someone playing the game or is someone making them with their own art work? Either way I'm sure it will turn out amazing. Keep up the good work Robin. I'm really looking forward to playing WN.

I would like some details on that, if you have some time?

Cutscenes aren't necessarily FMVs. Cutscenes in the game will be simply scenes played out in the actual game but removing direct control of events from the player and allowing the developer to pre-set events, such as NPCs, camera, animations and the like.

[Zetasis]

Ahh I see. So more like a SNES cut scene. I like the idea and I must say I have never seen this in a Mirage based engine. Awesome work Robin. Truly awesome.

[Robin]

I've done them before, but they weren't exactly engaging because of the lack of a camera system and a conversation system. Should turn out quite well this time.

[Kinjiru]

I cant wait to see that, would these be something you might add an editor for in orgins?

[Zetasis]

@Robin:

Either way man I am very impressed. I have a good feeling WN is going to be the game that represents the Eclipse(more specifically Origins) community. WN is truly going to raise the bar for those like me trying to make a good game.

[Robin]

@Kinjiru:

> I cant wait to see that, would these be something you might add an editor for in orgins?

Stop asking that about everything I post. If I am, I'll let you know in the Origins thread.

Origins isn't related to WN at all.

Besides, something like this is obviously not required by everyone, and as such it'd probably be released as a tutorial if I did release it.

[Kinjiru]

Ok tutorial sounds good to me.

[ondrasilny]

Eh..this is only your Robin,or is it for all? :P
Sorry for my bad english..
