Crystal Tears, A game about a world where people are ruled by pumpkins and goggles. Options

[Eden]

It's lookin good, I think your art is what's drawing people here.

[Dragoncookie]

muhahahaha 4 pages O:... er-hem.

You think so? Maybe.
Oh, and I could really use some criticism on that sprite and the parallax map.

[Eden]

Well, it's not that it doesn't look good, cuz it does, but it looks kinda fuzzy compared to the sprite. Maybe darken the outlines and define shading on the grass/trees.

[Dragoncookie]

Darken the outlines, eh? It'll be much easier to darken the whole picture as making outlines at this point would be stupidly tiring. That, or restart.

(btw... that is yotsuba on your avvie right?)

[Eden]

Well, you could just mess with the contrast a little, the picture just seems a tad out-of-focus.

Yea, it's Yotsuba. The last avatar was Yotsuba as well.

[Show/Hide] I messed around a bit!

[Eden]

Oh, that looks much better! The ground seems more solid and matches the character sprite better.
Although I still say outlines would look better. >.>

[Dragoncookie]

Outlines would be amazingly hard. Like, really... Image having to go around outlining all of... that. But I'll try... Eventually.

[Dragoncookie]

Bump! Also, have a WIP (w/ outlines) (btw the sketch is on 'cause I want some crit on the map design n stuff)

[Show/Hide] Valkyria Castle Town

[Ciella]

That's really cool Cookie! But, I think the perspective on the windows could be a lot better.
Meh you're too lazy to fix that anyway.
I think the lines are still too thick... Comparing to the sprite's that is.

[Saul95]

Nice drawing :3
But has the wrong perspective: the houses are seen by three quarters, while the road from above.

[Guinevere]

WAAAAHHH!
BLINDINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!
*Ahem*
Well, I don't know, but I think that the style your making the maps in really fit your art.

[Dragoncookie]

@Ciel: You know me so well, but when it comes to this I'll probably shove the laziness aside.
@Saul95: Ohh. I see. It looks like the road is uphill or smth right? I'll fix it later.
@Guinevere: Thanks ^^

BTW guys maths exam tomorrow I have to study today I might not come.

[Zackwell]

You're seriously encouraging me to hand draw the maps for my project. Which is a pain in the ass because I don't have an art tablet. :|

[Dragoncookie]

Ohohoh you shouldn't do that if you don't have a tablet. Even when you have one it's a pain.
You gonna multiply the pain by 320547623970927 if you hand draw with mouse xD (is that even hand drawing?)

[xmuffin]

Story is really simple imo and that's all but I can see but lots of love and effort was put in it so I like this game hope you got teh demo soon.

Thanks! ^^ I hope to finish the demo really soon. But it'll most likely take a while...

[Dragoncookie]

Bump.

[Zackwell]

Ahaha. You don't need to bump this thread.
It's such a promising game that I can't imagine it going too far down the page.

In relation to your screenshot of Cookie in the strange field-like place:
I really like it. I agree when Eden says to add outlines, but I can respect that it would be extremely tiresome to do so.
For your castle town, erase the guidelines, but keep the outlines, and it'll look great.

Also, hurry and get a demo out. :<

[Dragoncookie]

It was halfway down the page so I freaked XD

Yes. I'll have to start over on that one, anyway, so I'll do the outlines.
Well all sketches are eventually erased xD

I'm working~~ XD I don't even have a single idea of what events to add and I gotta make my Minkoff battler sprites and monster sprites too and, and... lots of stuff.
