~Screenshot Central!

Thanks, guys.

I really should just get around to making a thread about the game. But meh, I'll do it once I'll figure out a name.

In the meanwhile here's a merchant and his wagon.



Probably going to change the merchant art to something more interesting later.

That Wagon looks mondo gypsy, Mo Brah! Simple but detailed.

I want to marry your art work.

I was looking at some screenshots of the gameboy color Zeldas and just loved how they looked. So tried to replicate something in that style. Every 8x8 chunk of a tile is only allowed to contain three colors. GBC allows for four colors per tile, but the tiles from Links awakening mostly only used three, so decided to go with that myself.





Colors are shamelessly stolen from some dungeon in Links Awakening.

Not fan of the first screenshot mainly because of the rocks, but the second one is really neat!

[Moosetroop11]

First one reminds me of Yoda Stories, if you ever played that. I loved that game.

[Momeka]

Oh yes! I played the Indiana Jones one when I was a kid. Loved it.

Anyway, worked on some HUD stuff

Looks great, but there is something about the whiteness or style of the lower part that doesn't match the awesomeness of the upper part

[Momeka]

Is this better?



Also got started on combat, it will all be automatic by walking into enemies à la "For the frog the bell tolls". It still need a bunch of work, want the characters to be animated as well. Maybe also some floating damage numbers.

[Archem]

Never been a fan of that combat system.

Yeah, I'm expecting a few people will be turned off by it.

Do you automatically lock into a punching contest or can you bump into them once to exchange hits?

I've always preferred the latter as it gives the player a bit more agency!

[Momeka]

You're locked into the combat. You can run away but that will restore the enemies health. If you attack a too strong enemy you will just take a hearts damaged and get knocked back a couple of tiles.

I love the skull in that sand wall! That is very creepy cite. Would mind if I studied the layering and tried to replicate the effect?

Basically re-acclimating myself to rpg maker, and have spent most of my time updating my chipset and tweaking it.  Takes a lot longer then I remember!  I may have posted a shot of this set before, but I'm too lazy to look and I did a lot of work on it since then.



The chipset is a combination of heavy Secret of Mana edits from tiles I ripped, a couple tiles from a game I can't remember, and some original sprite work.

Nice to see someone else posting in this thread. I like it, AFL, you managed to make everything fit together nicely.

Feel free to do what you want. Here is the chipset if you want to play around with it
