heres my game, its an action battle system, I haven't got a title yet, but its coming along smoothly

what do you think?

[aboutasoandthis]

Well, from what I can see, it looks like a rip of SD3. The map could be better, but it's alright for now.

I'd see deithe2's topic for a post to make it less blurry.

deithe2: Relax. It was a laugh for a bit.  :p If I really made you mad, I apoligize. I even noticed Colt from "The Evil Inside."

This might be off-topic deithe2. Could you use more periods, and capital letters and stuff? It's hard to read what you type. You can type like that on IM or MSN or something, but it is really hard to read here in a forum for me.

a "rip from SD3"?! :O
thats what the gameplay is supposed to be similar to...

but I'm using the Rudra sprite (with alot of redrawn stuff to make him run, run with sword, and all the attack sprites where edited by me)

I agree, the map could be better, but its alright for now
I'm trying to make the battle more action-packed at the moment, and then I'll continue creating the game/storyline  

Is it really too much SD3-ish?

In Homeric legend the dead can't speak unless they drink the blood of the living. Because of this, the ghost can't talk, but she brings Titania here to try and warn her and hope she figures it out herself.

No. I just didn't like the HUD in that game. That's just me. Don't worry about it.

I think when making a game with an ABS, you should make a really flashy screenshot to get people excited about it. I mean, the Rudra Guy (Sion Right?) is facing upward. I can't really see how he attacks. Nice pose though. Also, I'd put a special attack or a really big monster in the screen too.

Those are things I like.

Use a better HUD. Secert of Mana, Zelda, any of those would be better picks to rippoff and make your own versions of.

[Thunderstrike]

the HUD isn't near finished guys

I'll be adding spells, power ups, and a custom leveling system

anybody got a mock-up of what the HUD would look better as?

[Arcanagirl]

Your gonna want a chipset that will go well with your charactersets.

[EXO Muffin]

The corner of Zerlina's house looks bad. The pieces just don't fit eachother's depth.

I didn't get far enough in this to show weapons, status, and magic/skills, but I did get far enough to show health. Just a SoM rip, but it looks good in-game.

[Thunderstrike]

I'll work on it, i guess

I'll let you guys know how it turns out
should I ditch the health and mana bars and use only numbers?

[coreystranick]

You can use bars, just make it alittle more exciting, maybe put it on the top of the screen or something, jsut step away from the norm and bars would work. You could always make an option of it being interchangeable in the options menu.

[Thunderstrike]

I'm already starting the code for the number-based HUD
man, it takes alot of patience, but so far I got the current health to show up currectly, now I'm working on the Max health part

EDIT:
finally finished!

how would you suggest spiffing this up a bit?
perhaps adding a transparent picture behind it, or something decorative to make the HUD look a bit better?

What do you suggest?

[gael]

I miss Aboutsoandthis' screenshots I don't know maybe if you get a little bit-o-free time could we see some more please...
Oh yeah and I freakin love shadow of the colossus. Everyone else in my family hates it though they say its to barren but in stoopid talk for example my brother said.” I don't like that game its got big fields but no people to talk to and no towns."
INFIDELS!!!
