Using my own graphics

[Russ1981]

Is there a way to make my own graphics for my game? I downloaded the trial and didn't see a way to do that.

what kind of graphics? 

 

[Russ1981]

Portraits for my characters mainly for now, sprites seem like they'd be a little more complicated.

you can always use the character generator. try the link Archeia gave.

People use a variety of programs to do that.  Popular ones are Photoshop (expensive if you don't already have it), GIMP (free and does almost everything that Photoshop does), Dogwaffle (there is a free version of it) and some people use Paint (not the MS Paint that comes bundled with everything else on your computer). 

If you have the ability to do your own portraits, it's nice to have something that is original and will make your game look distinctive.

Yeah, I've used the character generator, but it seems quite limited. I'm guessing that's because I'm on the trial, but I'd like to be able to have more customization.

Ah okay, I didn't realize you could do that, I guess there's a folder in the program that lets me put in my own graphics? I'll have to look around that tutorial page to figure it out.

1) Don't double post...

If you click the button next to the database button, you'll see the resoruces that you have right now, and there's an import button there which lets you import your custom files... Take note that the trial has limitations to the import amount...

The trial has exactly the same resources that the full version has.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

If that's for me, I wasn't talking about the RTP resources... I was talking about the amount of custom resources that you can import... oh wait, or was it the amount of database entries that are limited for the trial?

It was for the OP:

I see... hahaha...

Well, yeah, the generator is quite limited, but you can already do a lot with that...

You can also add new things to the generator, there's a tutorial here somewhere for that...
