| Post subject: | Experimenting with Gui [ingame screenshot added] |
Well i am messing around with trying to make something look very kind of, 'mirage' like. Basic, bold, not over complicated - things that must be apparent in order to retain the mirage feel, however; i think too many people associate the 'mirage feel' with something tacky. This does not have to be the case. Why does the gui say mirage on it? No i am not making a game called mirage, neither does it have shans approval; i am experimenting :] Add to it, rework it, COLLABORATE! I want you guys to bring your graphical talents to this gui - i am providing the 'base coat', this is what i got so far ^^ the gap on the right is intended for buttons, i figured i would post and get people trying their own thing before i got too far xD http://www.konfuze.co.uk/collaborate.jpg Edit 2: Ok i couldnt hold it anymore and just continued working on it myself out of boredom, the final result can be found... http://www.konfuze.co.uk/finished.jpg Edit 3: Alright so i could get a better idea of how it looked i tried it in-game and i think it looks cosy, and tidy - so i guess maybe i start elaborating on this and working on a little game, dont think it will get very far and to be honest i am more interested in mapping with shan on some of his things but at least its something to pass the time with eh :] http://www.konfuze.co.uk/action.jpg Any comments? ^^ Edit 4: Got the smoothest ever walking/attacking system, which has got me thinking i will make all my own sprites and items as for one reason the layout is different and unless they have the right positions they dont look so good, and for another if i ever decide one day oh i want to make the game custom i can then just focus on having the tiles redrawn. Well, firstly a random screenshot of my test rock where i spend my time testing random optimizations and bug fixes ^^ Ah yes before you look, the 'live' durability and str on the inventory doesent work yet; the image of the item does but since i havent done any items yet its blank :] http://www.konfuze.co.uk/mrone.jpg RC means realm crafter by the way, i guess its the equivilant of a game master. I dont have guilds or anything like that working so for now its just part of my name ;< The second thing i am going to show you is my 8 bit sprites i did today hrhr ^^. They dont look much down in their little sprite sheet but in game they fit right in, and with the new movement system things are looking smoother than i could of possibly imagined. Before some spastic says omg they are pixelated! Welcome to the world of 8 bit. Its meant to be like that, why do i like it like that? -shrug-, not sure, i just do - and its alot easier for me to make my own sprites and items if its blocks of colour :] Its a male and a female knight, both wearing 'golden' armor - my plan was that at various intervals in the game there are sprite change tiles, and depending if your male or female (which i also havent sorted out yet...) it would change your sprite to a more spectacular one, so people can tell if you have got to the last dungeons of hell, or if your a noob and havent even explored the first mountain ^^ http://www.konfuze.co.uk/sprites.jpg Well as usual any feedback is welcome. I guess you really cant see how nice things are without coming on and walking around for yourselfs but i am fairly happy with the way i am getting on :] Oh yes, i relied very heavily on the cecil final fantasy sprite for the armor on the knight; i know it looks similar but... looking at the final fantasy sprites is the only way i will be able to figure out how to draw the bloody things! Till next time ^^ |

No offense, it looks decent, but EVERY gui and whatnot that you make, uses that same pixel font. I'm just starting to get sick of it. Lol. And, really, what does hrhr mean? O_o |

i have looked for other pixel fonts but they never seem as neat; stick to what you know i guess >.< thanks for the comments anyway chaps, the next time i update the thread i will post it 'in game' if i ever get round to putting it in ^^ |

I seen it enough with Konfuze. Why don't you just find another font type all together? http://acidcool.com They have alot of nice free fonts, find one that you like. |

The "M" in the title "Mirage" reminds me of Kingdom Hearts... Why did my PS2 have to break before KH2 came out :'( I like the font. Reminds me of Konfuze Classic (the really early one. you got rid of running on it...) |
