I like the art, Cookie. (But then again, I always do because your art is AWESOME.
The maps look nice, if full of empty air. But I guess that these are WIP, right?
Also, I'm not sure if a round throne room is perfectly logical, but it's very pretty.

For the sprites... I'm not going to comment on them till you actually make them XD
Good job Cookie! Hope to see more stuff from you soon.

Thank you Hya.
Yes, they're WIPs lol XD
I'm glad at least someone still posts here.
...am I annoying or something? Is it bad I keep changing my mind about styles and leave this untouched for a while? orz orz orz I'm so sorry guys, please forgive me and let's be friends again!

I much prefer the second style, but I do not really like the isometric pixel art, try to use the normal one.

Like, doing antialiased isometric?
...woah. o: that sounds pretty awesome.
MAYBE SOME RAGNAROK STYLED SPRITES TOO >3<

Nooo XD I mean use the pixel style, but not isometric.

:I oh
pixel art isn't my greatest skill, you know
I'll probably mess it up
antialiased iso actually sounds better XDD

Well, use the style do you like more, the rest of this thing you have a choice, not us

yeah~
I guess I'm gonna try antialiased iso
OR MAYBE 3D //bricked, shot and kicked
we all know I'd never manage that XD

You seem to really lack direction still. One would think you would have a clear vision like months ago. But yeah it is your project and I suppose you will turn it to be something great and worthwhile. Also see it like this, at least you have skills to draw your own art enough good to be used in games.

yeah I suppose I do. I wish I had a clear vision orz but most of the times my lack of skill clouds it and I need a change >A<
Backgrounds are a skill I should've improved but never did orz
I wish I could have more willpower and decisiveness too, because often my motivation decreases quickly, and I end up forcing myself to do things. Currently I am hyped about this, and I hope it'll last, but that's unlikely. >3< also my commissions on Menewsha pile up, and my mom says I can go to the computer max. 3 hours a day, so I use up all my time to finish the commissions, orz So even if it lasts, I can't do anything QAQ also I need to finish works for 2 contests this month and in the meanwhile my parents expect me to learn some programming languages. Also school will begin soon orz I'm drowning in work xD But I only have 3 hours every day. While usually I would have been able to use at least 7, or 8.
And yes, I'm so glad I have artistic skills. My art is something I love and take pride in <3

EDIT: Promo art <3

oops I seem to have forgotten you Luc lucky there was leftover space
Also there are the secret chars, on Fuchsia's (the elf) shoulders!
I'll finish this tomorrow, have to go now.

THIS IS DONE!

I don't know if I'm allowed to bump? Please merge my posts if I'm not... the rules only said 'significant update', and this shows all the chars >3< so I suppose it's significant?

from left to right: The guy I haven't named yet (suggestions appreciated), Luc, Cookie and Miky (bottom), Ta'nya (top), Fuchsia.
and on Fuchsia's shoulders, the secret characters ohoho

Awww, I love your artwork and ability to color so much!!

Keep at it, Cookie. ^___^

Thank you, Strawberry! ^u^ the cast is looking good! (and so colorfully seizure-inducing, too! orz) I'll update this as soon as I get my first map done.
This style is DEFINITIVE!

Well you still need to perfect your style

Some more details?

I might need to perfect it, but at least no more switching around! c: I sure hope I will not regret this phrase later... XD
Well, he is uses spears, his element is earth, he's a lot older than he looks, he is very strong, and he is Ta'nya's teacher.

How have I not noticed this thread until now?! Your art style is....well simply amazing. I wish I had even an nth of your talent for art work. I really like your style and I hope your whole game is done 100% in your unique and colorful style. I would play the hedge out of your game if you did that!

I realize you said you are trying to make your game by yourself, and I can respect that, I have the same ambitions. If you need any help with anything, even just on how to get an event or something working, please feel free to PM me, I will help you in any way I can.

Thank you!!
And thank you so much for the offer ^u^ making this game alone is kind of difficult, especially because I have no idea how to script or some event commands, so I'm glad to know I can ask you for help~

Throne room sketch concept!~
Cookie, Cynder (Cookie's lil' sis) and Alice (Cookie's twin), all hanging around in a seemingly lazy afternoon.
How's the design?

The concept looks really good, it's hard to say how it'll look in game, of course, but if you can get the same effects in game that you have in your concept art, then I think you have a winner.

I thought the throne room looked pretty awesome.

My jaw literally dropped out of my mouth. D=

So how's the fun side of game making going? Databasing, eventing, mapping? XD

@Shaddowval: I'll probably do it lineless, because lined would be so very difficult, especially for stuff like grass or rocks, but I'll do my best to keep the effect >3<

@Strawberry: haha, thanks! >u<
lol yes it's very nice to do //sarcasm
well, I guess you need to make sacrifices for everything?
at least I already know the names of their best armor and weapons >3<

little chibi pixel thingy

idk
maybe it could be our new userbar?! o:
I think it's cute but my pixels are laaaame :I
what do you think she's looking at?
Maybe she's waiting for an [actual] update on the game xD
gotta wait some more, Cookie~
I wanna finish the throne room map, add some events and whatnot and then maybe release it as a small, teeny tiny demo.
TEEEEENY TINY.

That pixel art is so cute! I really like it! I'm going to try out my hand at some pixel art, probably will suck! You have inspired me!

Thanks, Shaddow! I'm gonna work extra-hard on my map tomorrow!
Go for those pixels! And show me when you're done!

Ah my god, I agree-- : OO It looks phenomenal!
Sooo pretty... and I really adore the colours + style. \o/

Really cute pixel :3
You should put it on deviantart.

Well this is the first time I really looked at your game and I just have a small note/suggestion, on your screen shots you have the char talking in text and you did the text box expand for only one sentence? This blocks a lot of the background of your game I think and just looks a bit off.

@runeknight: Thanks! I think it's the sky, I actually like the color there XD

@saul: I will, soon c: thanks!

@lato: lol idk really XD I have no idea how to make it smaller orz
those screenshots are dated anyway XD I should remove them.

Its a simple call script command, i assume your using the UMS script? if not you can just get it on this site and open the demo and copy paste the examples, its just a simple command that changes the screen size back to 125/default size. I use the script myself and its great when I need to make a paragraph but not for normal text.

Okay, I'll try it out.
I wanted to make a dialogue style kinda like the one on TWEWY

That looks really cool and much better then normal text chat but drawing all those pages will take a LOT of time, still it will be worth it if you have the time to do it.

I have a colorful ton of free time orz
Or at least I used to have xD not that I have a lot to do, anyway.

.:UPDATE:.
I'm working on the map, guise. Finished the outlines, and trying to figure how to do that goddamned wall clock xD

omg, yes! I love The World Ends with You! The text style is really great too! If you can get it working, go with that style!

I'll do the best I can xD
Once I finish the first map so I can use it for testing purposes ofc

btw can you guess who I ship Cookie with, shaddow? XD He's a twewy character.

I'd say cat but he's too old, so maybe Joshua?

nnnnoooo XD
remember, Cookie is 18~
In my headcanon, the events of CT happen a little while before the events of TWEWY.
So she's the same age >3<
want more tips? Or you can figure it out?

lol CAT is awesome too xD

also, working on another pixel cheeb.
Maybe I'll do them for the whole cast!

Hrm maybe Beat then? Lol I'm bad at this, also I'm looking forward to those pixelarts.

lol no
I can see you're not gonna figure it out XD
It's Sho~~ XD Sho is hawt~

hnng IDK what pose to make for Miky :I suggestions?

She uses a wand or staff yes? Maybe the cutsie, wand held with both hands in front of her knees thing? Did that make sense?

Also I assumed it was Sho but that seems so obvious that I didn't want to guess that XD.

lol yes it does xD I was thinking of making her riding a broom, or maybe polishing pumpkins. That seems cute though c: maybe casting a spell?

I'm just obvz trollolol
he's just too hawt k.

OH lookie, I finished Miky!

:I I don't like my pixel art XD

Dragoncookie, please remember to wait 72 hours before double posting.

I really like that pumpkin, and the colors that went into it. Your artwork definitely shines.... now if only there were a demo to show it all off.

Those pixel images are so cute!
I'm going to put them in my signature!
(I'll collect them all!)

Explosion of adorableness, oh god. <3333

Keep up the good work, seriously. I'm loving this stuff so far.

I like Miky, continue the pixel series

@amerk: oops sorry, I got confused because in the rules it only says 'significant update', I think orz
And thank you! I am working on that, I want this to be graphically great before releasing anything.

@X-M-O: thank you, teehee c: gotta catch 'em all! XD

@zacheatscrackers: thank you, I'll do my best! o:

@shaddow: so I shall, ohoho. Next up is Fuchsia! x:

Thank you all for posting guys, seeing (reading?) so much support makes me happyyy <3

Do you need any help on this game? Ever since we moved around the topics I have no idea who needs a team or help on games But this game looks like it actually has some beauty, and ive been dying to work with a good team!

I reallt like those pixel chibi userbars, Cookie.
What happened to Fuchsia's userbar?

TWEWY dialogue sounds awesome, how are you going to implement it though, lolz?

Actually adjusting the text boxes is one of the easiest things to script, there are a lot of scripts, so finding a TWEWY style wouldn't be that hard, imo.

Ah, I see lolz.
Er... I haven't seen a script like that around... does it exist?
