Aydan Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Hey guys I'm new here at Eclipse however I've been around the whole Mirage Scene since the days when 3.0.3 was around.Anyway I've decided to work on a nice lil' project for some fun using some nice old school graphics an a basic UI.Here's a small screenshot of what I have so far ;)![](http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/3858/awesomegv1.png)and heres a picture of my very basic primitive crappy npc chat system (click on friendly npcs etc)![](http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/5659/npcchatny0.png)Keep in mind this is made in MIRAGE SOURCE. NOT ECLIPSE OR ANY OTHER ENGINE.If anyone here feels like they wanna join me and help out I could do with a little support with very basic graphical work ;)Comments and criticism welcome.

gaming ace Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This looks like a neat project, I love the graphics, they have a nice feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Particle Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I like the Graphics, the only thing I don't like is how big the Player is :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 well the graphics/sprites etc are all the height they should be.The sprites are only in 64 height anyways. A few more pixels higher than the average RMXP sprite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Particle Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yeah but hes as big as the tree :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 lol yeah I know but that's how the graphics were made originally. it's supposed to be lol :)Thanks for your comments though I do appreciate them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Are you sure you're not using RPG Maker 2000 or RPG Maker XP? That would explain the huge player sprite and the RM2k graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 OK allow me to explan.I am using RM2K graphics. NOT RMXP. Every single graphic is from RM2K. I'm not one for mixing tiles and sprites, looks awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 In that case, looks cool. Try making the coastline appear a bit more realistic instead of a straight line for the coast. I've never seen anyone attempt an RM2k style game. Keep at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Yeah I will be making better maps in future lol. This is just a small map I threw together just to show the over all style of graphics and stuff :)When I get some more stuff done I'll make a real topic with a demo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 ok so after a few days of work the game has come a heck of a long way!First of all I would like to just show off the chat interface. It's all blitted and can be minimized and scrolled through etc.![](http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/7593/amazingas0.png)here's the box when its minimized![](http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/1403/amazing2ov5.png)As you can see it uses the same style and graphic files as the main tiles and sprites so it fits together really nice in my opinion.If only I could make it semi transarent heh!Well I hope you like the look of it so far! there's gonna be more to come soon!

Niko Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Very nice, the tiles and UI look very niice together. Plus the minimizing chat is a good feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Glad you guys like it =)Anyone interested in testing the game out i nthe very near future?I'm also looking into adding a semi **transparent effect** on the chatbox too so it looks more pro and cleaner.

L0lz Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Looks promising. But what's with the unusual proportion of the guy and trees, he's as big as them @_@. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Crusade Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Looks Old skool, although I must agree with the proportion issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 the graphics are like that naturally. It's the way they are.Besides it beats using 100 different tilesets and mixing with sprites ;)Ah well I'll update some things soon and get some screens and hopefully a small test up within a week or so!

Dark Crusade Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 @AydanWatkins:> Besides it beats using 100 different tilesets and mixing with sprites ;)Well obviously, and I'll take that as exaggerated. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
