I haven't worked on it since the other day, but here's what we got it looking like:


I'll try to redesign the d-pad as soon as I can. :)

Hey, sorry I haven't logged in in a while...
I'm curious, have you guys got a solid story planned out for this game? Because I'd love to help with plot/charachters etc. ;D (partly because people are already doing sprites and I can't really make maps right now.) I could also use a short update as I missed a lot of pages of posts.  :-/

Basically, we're doing it Broadway style now.

Hmmm... would there be any gain in having a floating toggle button in the lower righthand corner to maximize space in the stat field?

LoL, not sure what to say to that... However, I did a little reading, and I realized I haven't seen much in the way of a battle system yet...

Basically what I've been saying is I wanted to throw some ideas around because if you all know where the story is going I want to help with ideas.

Probably not... I'm sure we'll have enough stat space. Though just gotta keep the toggle button close to the pad to maximize space.

I'm not sure what the compass should look like, but what say ye of the same arrows with harder shading + drop shadows?

Great to have you onboard! Don't wait for us to give you a job: do whatever you fancy. We need entity and scenery sprites, music and SFX, NPC descriptions + dialogue, a table of enemy characteristics and an item glossary.

There's plenty to do, so take your pick! ;D

Estimating outrageously incorrect release dates for my games since April 2007.

So, any estimated release dates for this iRPG ?

And I have until Friday which stinks because for some reason I thought it was out a lot sooner...
And Finals are here so it may be a while before I can do much as well. However, I had one idea that I've thought about enough to post on the story ideas...

We need a good standard border to use for all the messages and whenever characters are talking. And also a good font to use throughout the game for consistancy. One that doesn't look like it was randomly picked out from the font menu.
I still think so...

I decided to try out smooth movement:

Which do you like better?


-Gan
the blocky is better, i wouldnt use smooth movement unless you plan on animating the character walking, which you shouldnt, im for simplicity and the blocky movement is already done with no bugs. put all the fancy features aside for a sequel
