Well yeah, ive been quite lazy on the graphics.. But DFA has been working.. And he just sent me the latest client, its really smooth.. ive never seen a MS based game start up that quickly.. Takes less than a second. Ive just started working on the graphics again, i played around with the fogs and snow a bit.. and man, just by using your imagination you can do awesome stuff.

Image

I first just tried a green fog, and played around with the effects a bit.. But after a while it led to something alot cooler, its hard to show all this through a screeny.. in motion, its really awesome.. there is basically two fog layers scrolling in the opposite directions.. And adding different effects to these fogs creates an awesome "heat" effect.. makes the map look really hot like the whole forest is on fire.. and then i edited the snow flake graphics into a fireball.. and i got this result.

But yeah, it looks alot better ingame.. so i made a video..

I think those effects are exactly what your game needed. It was great before, but this is the cherry on the top. It's dazzling enough to attract players now who rely on graphics rather than game play.

Combined with the artwork and a new coder....you are golden.

Website rules now. I liked the first. Then you changed it and I hated it; especially the forums, but I didn't want to be negative about it.

Awesome job.

ZoSo, you should consider making the characters flip when they walk to the right.

Also, the Slash Animation would look better faster. :D

Recording scrolling maps is slow because when scrolling, every single pixel on the screen changes, meaning it has to re-record the entire screen each frame rather than just the pixels around the player like in none-scrolling recordings.

This game looks purely amazing, but the only thing i don't like is how the sprites don't do anything, but this is really something I wanna play, RIGHT NOW!
