Aw much better, I was worried something wrong with my comp, do you need some help doing some icons?

[Strawberry]

I'm not bumping my topic with meaningless stuff, I promise!

Some more original music for the game. ^^

Despite it's name, this one is used for the Divinity's shrine. ^^;

Strawberry, the world map seems to have disappeared. Can you repost it?

[Strawberry]

I will when I re-make it. It was a horrible, horrible world map. XD

Also, I forgot to post a special screenshot that showcases my special pixeling abilities!

(AKA I have no idea what I'm doing!)

First attempt at custom graphics. XD Yeah.... I suck. ;_;

it really loooks like you just made your own style of sprite, and that its your first attempt is interesting, I have to say im starting to really hate you cause there is no way I could do a char sprite that well from scratch and ive been trying a LOT!

This keeps on looking better and better, though I assume you are going to change the bishop sprite? Cause with your sprite style it really clashes with the default RTP style.

[Strawberry]

This is mainly something I'm doing when we work on the game. The demo will most likely have RTP, but as I finish more and more pixel work, we will transfer everything to the new graphics. Which includes the bishop sprite. XD

So yeah, everything will change.

I'm learning.

Also, my fiance made the sprite templates, I just put clothes and stuff on them.

I did make the rest of the tileset, though.

I'm aware that it's not very good, but I'm trying. XD

[Strawberry]

So I was messing around with logo design myself and came up with this:



It's what I want, but it doesn't.. pop out at me. ;_;

Another original song for the OST. XD

Thanks for reading!

[X-M-O]

I've decided to go ahead and play around with the idea of your logo. Here is the result.

-- Re-uploading...

[Strawberry]

It says I don't have permission to view it.

I wanna see it!!! XD

I'm going to call you "Exy" from now on!

[X-M-O]

What? Exy? XD
Love it.

Oh, I guess the permissions aren't set for uploads in this area.
I'll upload it to a different location and repost - just a minute. ^^

Edit: There we go!

(White Background.)


(Transparent Background.)

[Strawberry]

"Oooo, that's gorgeous!"

That's exactly what I said out loud.

Thank you Exy! You're the best!

I mean really.

/cry

I shall use it! It's simple and what I wanted! :3

[X-M-O]

Yay!

You're very welcome; especially since you're going to use it.

It's very easy for me to take an idea (so clearly represented as you have done) and turn it into something shiny! ^^
(I also wanted to remove the redundancy factor that most logos have nowadays - where all of the music notes are the same or are duplicates of each other; I made sure they are all different in your logo.)

First attempt? That's pretty darn awesome for a first, considering my first attempt would have looked like something from a first generation atari system. I'm assuming it's a WIP since the area in front of the fireplace is so wide and open, but not something that a few housing items can't fix (a table with a chair, some shelving, etc).

[Strawberry]

Yeah, I haven't finished all the objects. I've been so lazy to continue - even if it's a good thing to have custom graphics. XD

[Dragoncookie]

look, it's that time of the week when Cookie feels like critici... critisi... criticising? uh... however that's written.
OK, it IS pretty great for a first attempt, but, on the beds, there's a lot of pillow-shading (darker on the outside, lighter as it goes in.) You shouldn't do this even on pillows XDD Also, on the pink bed, the lighter shade doesn't really blend in with the base color.
You don't need to be afraid to use more than two colors on the wooden boards! Also, no need to always use the same measures (Eg. two pixels dark shade, two pixels light shade) since that also tends to look a lot like pillow shading.
Surfaces that are flat are always the same color, and when it goes up/down it changes the shade (depending on the lightsource)
The fireplace's a great example, even though the lighter dots seem a little random.
Also, you should use a lighter coloring for the dithering on the wall.

...I feel so mean, sometimes.

[Strawberry]

Nah, you're fine.

I'm no pixel artist. XD I was doing it for fun, mainly and because my fiance told me to. >>

But I most likely will not continue it anyways, 'cause I don't want to waste my time doing something I'm not good at. ^^;

[Strawberry]

Updated the first post with stuff! Check it out!

Aelina Rowan
Age: 20
Race: Snow Pixie
Height: 5'0"
Weapon(s): Scythe and Staff

Aelina is an older child who has a rebelleous streak that led to her joining a rag-tag gang of street performers at the age of sixteen, leaving behind her father Midlyn and sister Reina. When she returns home at seventeen, they are no where to be found. So Aelina decides to continue living in her family's originally established home; with her concealed friend Gwyn.

Narie Tearwyn
Age: 23
Race: Mini-M'vyr
Height: 4'9"
Weapon(s): Sword and Club

Narie is a tough, but motherly crusader - who along with Demi, is sent to protect the Stonesinger Aelina. She shares a strong bond with Sarie as her identical twin sister, and can be a borderline nag.

Demi Carinae
Age: 32
Race: Sand High-Fae
Height: 6'6"
Weapon(s): Spear

Demi is as he would say, "half-man, half-god, ALL animal". This ladies' man holds a rank of a captain in the crusaders. His light-hearted comic relief makes him a glutton for punishment, even while he guides the party with his worldly wisdom.
