Game & Map Screenshots 5

[Candacis]

@quigon: I like the new style, too. Looks very interesting, great atmosphere. What kind of game is this going to be?

 

[Quigon]

@Candacis - it's for Oneirophrenia, so it's survival/psychological/surrealist horror

House update:

[Ikari]

Implementing a new combat system as of now. Works quite well.

 

[Goatrider]

Finally getting back into mapping for Gears of Obscura while I wait for some commissions to get finished.

My first map in a long time:

 

[Petite Elite]

@Goatrider - Looks amazing! Great work with both the cluttering and the lighting in particular. The lights seem to be a little too dull for light sources, though. Kind of gives off a thick smokey atmosphere rather than one with clean air (in my opinion). 

@Esbie - Clean and functional; looks good. If I were you, I'd take out that shadow on the far left (or add more shadows) and make those tables a little bit longer so that they're in line with the chairs.

I'm new to parallax interiors :/

Personally, I'd prefer an unlit lamp in that scene.


@Goat - Wow. I like the terrain work on that scene.

 

[Galenmereth]

@Goat: That looks really good. A bit too dark, I think; I mean, it's fine on my monitor, but there are lots of different contrast settings out there, and a lot of people won't be able to see anything

I've been working on the gathering "minigame" for The Vendor, complete with animations and crushing visual effects:

 

[Myst88]

@Goatrider: Wow very atmospheric. Looks like a very cozy village.

City mapping practice/mock up

 

[Anorak]

Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

After agonizing over what type of battle system to use, I decided to play to my strength and ditch the traditional RPG Maker battle system in favor for an Action battle system. After a few trial and errors I got this for the HUD. I guess you can comment on the map too just note it is nowhere near finished yet xD. (Itz gots errorz)!

The white boxes are your equip slots for your characters. You can also rotate between standby characters with a single push of a button. Standby characters regenerate HP slowly (unless dead).

Couple changes I'd make to the UI:

- That font is hard to read, it's too thin and twisty

- I'm assuming "out cold" means the character is temporarily unuseable, in which case you should darken or grey out his portrait

- All HP bars should be the same color. Idk what the enemy bar and the red bar on the player's bit of the UI mean, but I'd make HP red or green, MP blue and some other color for the other stuff.

- The gold should be in the same font as the other labels, or at least a similar looking font. It's kinda distracting right now.

The overall idea is good, you want UI that doesn't get in the way of the screen for an action game, and you definitely have that part right. Just need some tweaks to make it easier to look at.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

I don't have qualms about the colors as long as they're consistent. But the red bar of the char and the boss needs some explaining so that we can understand what they are.


EDIT: Tried to redo the city map

Playing around with some tiles i am working on:

PS: the sprites aren't 100% original!

 

[cabfe]

@Heimond:

I like the touch you gave to your game. This looks simple but it's very efficient.

About the plants, maybe you could slightly desaturate the green, as the rest of the colors are not as bright?

 

[phoenix_rossy]

A bridge. 

More exciting - parallax mapped battle scenes:

 

[Kes]

@Heimond

I, too, like these maps, but have to agree with Cabfe, that green is far too bright - it looks almost florescent in comparison to the other colours you have.

@phoenix_rossy

Nice.  One thing, though, about the first map.  Where you have the broken planks, they appear to be totally flat.  I think you need to put edging on the broken bits so that they appear to have some depth.  The way that they are in the ordinary broken wooden/stone floor tiles.

I like what you've done with the tiles in the other 2 maps.  And those sprites are cool - especially the grey & blue one.

 

[cabfe]

@phoenix_rossy:

Same as ksjp17

I'll add, to the first screenshot, the guardrail is completely broken? Maybe you could add some parts where it's still there (the horizontal part), to break monotony since you're parallaxing.

Thanks ^.^ I was thinking the same thing about the planks. Sprite artist has done a great job with the battlers - if only she were a bit more reliable!

Fair point.
