 These may still change, but I kind of like them already :) Of course they look better when moving. |
| ||
| wow this is looking very good, is it playable? the characters kind of remind me of grail online |
| ||
| Very nice :) Simple but effective. It would be nice if you define more strongly the point where the semi-sphere hits the ground. This would be good from a aesthetic and visual-feedback point of view. |
| ||
| Yes it's playable, but only about 40% finished engine-wise... Adding content will take even longer, but I will probably have a very early demo running in about a month or 3 :) I'll see what I can do, but with the terrains that may not be very easy... But it's more apprant where it hits the ground when it's moving (the circles expand) Thanks for the comments. |
| ||
| Ah, I see what you mean about the terrain. It's especially vague to see the far side of the sphere, as you can't see the reverse faces of the sphere. |
| ||
| is this multiplayer or single player? |
| ||
| single player. it's a console-style rpg (well, it has a unique battle system, but it resembles console style rpg's). |
| ||
| oh kool, when your finished you should think about making it multiplayer I know those style graphics are populer with younger kids and alot of them are playing multiplayer rpg now. |
| ||
| I'm not really a mmorpg fan (I will be checking out FFXI and world of warcraft soon though), I like story-based RPG's a lot, so that's why I'm making one. The battle engine would be well-suited for online play though (with a few adjustments), so maybe I'll consider it after this is finished. |
| ||
| what are you using to design and animate your characters your style has captured the true rpg feel |
| ||
| Milkshape 3D. Hint : It helps to use an animation sequence (images) as a reference behind your model when animating. |
| ||
| Looking good fall_x. I like the art style. Your lucky to have both programming and art skills. |
| ||
| I can't really draw or anything, most of it is trial and error, and remembering what works well. It's more a matter of taste than it is talent I guess. I've been into making games since I was 7 years old (zx spectrum, later amiga), never finished anything though, but it gave me a lot of experience. Being a web developer also helps, because I do some occasional webdesign as well. The same with music, I can't sing a note or play by ear, but I can compose a pretty good tune because I know enough basic music theory (self-tought) and because I spent a lot of time writing music. It's all about practice :) |
| ||
| Man.. I've been silently watching all these rpg threads going green with envy thinking "oh man - i wish i could do that!". Nice work, fall_x. :) Do you accept pre-order's? hehe. :) With a good engine like this, there's so much that can be developed in the way of story/locations/etc later on. I think it's going to turn out great considering how superb it's looking already. :) +BlackD |

| Yeah the screenshoots make the hemispheres look kinda flat, especially because the yin-yang one doesn't appear to curve around (if ya get me), still, as you say, it would be more apparent when in motion etc. Great looking stuff!

Wow! Exacly the same here. That's freaky ;-) |

| Wow! Exacly the same here. That's freaky ;-) That's because you're probably just one of my alter egos and you only exist in my head ;) |

| No. You'r one of mine. The voices told me so :) |
