Art Progress

Sounds good to me. Maybe our next game can have the super detailed tiles and animated sprites.

I'll still animate the player.

Yeah, it's about time I got those enemy sprites done and wrapped up the interface. Give me a list of stuff to do and the order you want me to do it in and I'll really try to work my way through it.

You need to do all the scenery and monsters that I laid out in the design doc + some that we haven't thought of yet.

[Gan]

So we're downgrading the tiles? Do we really need to? I'm sure we have all we need already made... other terrain types aren't a necessity, especially for our first and short iRPG.

I sincerely agree.
All of the tiles that I have seen are COMPLETELY sufficient for an amazing game for the iPhone.
Its looking awesome already, all you need is a story!

[WarHampster]

The thing is that I can make a lot of really good terrain pretty quickly while the scenery I make is decent and takes a while. So I'm proposing that we use pretty terrain and more simple scenery.

[Gan]

Oh sure. Sounds good to me. Simple above ground tiles and nice ground tiles.
I'll need all the tiles we'll use so I can switch them in the World Editor.

Hey Hammy, could you send me a link to the doc? The link you sent me last time is asking me to log into a Google Account now, but I don't think I have one (and seemingly didn't need one last time anyway ).

Thanks.

[WarHampster]

You might need an account to edit, here's a read only:

[Silverwind]

That's odd, it's still asking me for an account and I can't set one up because I don't have a mobile (required for account verification).

[Mystor]

I sent a request to see the document.

[WarHampster]

Everything should be working now... I sent you all an email, let me know if you can access the document.

[Silverwind]

I'm in again!

EDIT:

Crickey that's a lot of sprites! I'll see what I can do.

[EqwanoX]

that art is good, now all you gotta do is trace it over in photoshop with the line tool and go over it with the burn and dodge tool to make it like this

[Silverwind]

OMG that's cool! Really, really impressed Eq. I've tried outlining once or twice but can't get the hang of direction flow, like hair, sleeves and whatnot. The rounded edges just throw me off.

I'm keen on getting in some more practice now though.

[WarHampster]

Alert to RPG team members - my situation is deteriorating. I will have exactly four days of absolutely free time in the next few months.

Silver - How are the sprites coming? I want to be able to start doing mockups with the new graphical style ASAP.

Gan - I'm starting to think about the character animations. Can I dictate the number of frames or do you need a specific amount? Realistically, I'll be able to animate two different characters (a male and female human) with eight frames in each direction.

Everyone - I'd like to have some sort of meeting on Sunday to discuss where we're going from here. I have a feeling that we're going to have to cut a lot of content.
