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

I'm sure you'll manage.
Patience is a virtue when it comes to sprites. Especially battlers. =|

5TH PAGE omnomnom
...err... yeah

Yes, yes of course I'll manage.
I *am* an artist in training after all. What would I be if I didn't manage? xD
I'm not really cut out for pixelling so it's really diffy. ):

[Rydesk]

Oh, and why does anime have to be realistic? It's frickin' art, not photography. You don't need to conform to proportional art.

I love this statement.
Sorry just had to say that. There's very little people who think that way, that I know atleast.

Firstly, I have to say I agree completely. There are so many different styles of anime (and art in general) that one shouldn't feel that they must conform to one style or another. Its an expression of self after all.

Secondly, I must admit that I really like all the art styles you showcased and cannot choose between them. Sorry that doesn't help much. Also, the parallax/panorama mapping looks considerably better, so perhaps if you made the wall hieghts smaller and tried changing the colour pallette of the sprites you might be able to get it to work. It's an option at least.

Lastly, its very nice to see a project witha unique style that actually looks like it holds promise for completion. I'm rooting for you.

[Dragoncookie]

@EvenAngels: You're actually being helpful xD It just means I have succeeded in visual stuffers.
Hmm change the palette? I understand the wall heights but I'm using pretty much the same palette for both sprite and map lol
Thank you! I'm glad you think so!

[Dragoncookie]

quick "doodles" (i'll probably use it for something) of Cookie and Miky(aka the Warrior and the Witch)

[Show/Hide] The Warrior

[Show/Hide] The Witch

Also sorry for the inactiveness lately but I've been making some decisions and I think I'll revamp the whole game and make it an Action RPG wholly pixelled (which will kill me but it's okay at least I will make some improvements to my sorry excuse of pixelling xD)

[Saul95]

Why do not you show us complete drawings instead of the profiles?

[Dragoncookie]

I would, but, it's really just the silhouettes I might fill them in later tho xD

BTW Update: I won't be doing it entirely in pixel... it'll be entirely vector-like graphics (line less), all of them original.

[Guinevere]

IDK if you should fill them in later. They'd work well as promotional art, titlescreen, etc. as is.
They're really pretty
That aside, I can't imagine what Cookie would look like lineless O.o
Or do you mean the sprites?
Oh, if it's mostly pixelled, will you still be doing your hand drawn maps?

[Dragoncookie]

Thanks! I'll make a filled in and a non filled in ver probably.
Actually I was talking about the game graphs xD
Well I was thinking about making tilesets instead of hand drawing since that way I can spare a lot of work. Anti-aliased tilesets, that is.

Bump!

[Guinevere]

Well, unless you put up more information, I don't think there's anything anyone can say except it'll still take a lot of work to do custom tilesets -_-
Good luck btw

[Dragoncookie]

Well it'll take a lot of work no matter what xD
I'd add info but I am trying to get a VX script working =_=

[Guinevere]

Oh, a VX script in RMXP? They have different script libraries or something, it won't work D:

They run off different kinds of code.

RMXP is RGSS1 And RMVX is RGSS2 or something. They both preform similar functions, you could have it converted to XP by someone who's willing to donate their time.

[Dragoncookie]

Pfft, someone... I'll do it myself!!
...after 5 minutes...
*goes post help topic*

Oh.
From what i understand, they both use Ruby, but have different API or something.

[Dragoncookie]

Well probably the input commands are a little different or something. Anyway, I got the scripts working, so tomorrow I'll just install WLO to rip the bases //shot start doing my bases.

[TTrain427]

I like the artwork a lot, it always fun to see someone try something different from the norm. Keep up the good work.

[Dragoncookie]

Thanks! ^^

Update: My computer is a bish and it doesn't have enough room for me to install whatever. So I'm going to erase some old files and stuff which might take a while since I have all my stuff in like 2538082 folders or something.
