Im making a new topic because i can not update the first post in the old topic which was made back on the old board.
Anyhow, down the buisness.
First here are some screenshots of the battle system im working on, and yes the enemys do animate, only thing that does not animate is the backgrounds, which i plan to fix that ASAP.
Next are some smple maps showing off graphics and style for the game.
Dungeon, not much there at the momen, but i plan to add that sence of not knowing where you are going by adding nothing more then a flashlight effect, it will change with direction your facing, and if you do not have a flashlight or lamp, it will be dark and you wont be able to move forward, if i was a good enough scripter id add the classic dungeons like in PS1.. but i dont sadly.
A cave, rather then make new graphics for everything i plan to use a lot
of RMXPs default graphics, i walked around witht he main character in rooms and such using the graphics and i thought they went together rather well.
The overworld, why am i showing this?
New ocean graphics is why, and yes the coast line does animate ala PS1.
A tech place, unlike PS2s tech looking places, i thought it would look better if the first floor of these places had outside graphics like PS4 does in some places. And yes those are ripped graphics from PS2 in use.. i think they look good.
And finaly, a village.. im going to add more shadows later to things like buildings and such, some of the graphics shown are from RMXPs graphics.
Okay, thats about all i have for the moment, in a sec ill post a link to the old topic for people.
here is the link http://www.pscave.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1548
So far no city graphics are shown simply cause the ones i have are crapy rips that i need to upgrade to more detailed ones.. then ill show you what i have.
I want this game to be both a real sequal and a restart of the series back in its classic form, i feel sega was stupid to ditch the original storys and the world of algo all together in favor of the BS online games.. sorry to those who love the online ones.. i do not like them.. 3D is fine but to me.. it was too much of a departure and needed to just have some kind of link to the old series.. and their are tidbits of links to the old PS game.. in PSO1 their were some bakers deep down underground baking.. you guessed it.. shortcakes.. that was one small connection to the old series.. sadly i did not see any other connections.. this game will have major connections.. ill give you all a hint to the story line.. the main character is a landel, the great great great great great .. lots of greats lol grandson of Alysa Landel.. the female in some of the old screen shots with blue hair is a lutz.. the Android/Cyborgs make a return, in fact the big blond guy is a new model based on Wrens design.
I am still debating the return of an algolian cat as a main character.
Also, most of the game takes place on earth, but you will be headed back to algo.. or whats left of it for a reason i will not be saying at this time.
*catches his breath*
Okay, as soon as i have more to show ill post more... in fact i need to upload a pic of the main characters face.. i hope people like this when its done.. im working my ass off on it.
Oh, one more thing, this game may be too big to host on PScave so i may have to find a palce for it.. if anyone has dial up.. get ready to leave your connection on over nite lol
-EDIT-
New Terrain graphics.
I made new trees as well as new grass and new dirt.
Any comments are welcome.
I am still at work on this, it is just taking me awhile, im going slower then usual.
This project will take awhile, it would not take as long but the enter time the board was gone when i first started on this, i just stop working on it cause of the fact that i had no audiance so i figured why keep working on it.
Anyhow, since starting it back up their has been a lot of progress.
But im taking someones advice and working on graphics first and formost.
Im waiting on my scanner to be fixed, once it is fixed ill do more graphics by hand, one great thing about RMXP is their is no limits in colors or detail, so i am free to work my magic ^.^
-UPDATE-
I thought id give some insight on the main charecter.
Im still debating a first name for him, but he is a Landel.
Im still trying to think of what he even does, other then being the main character, is he a hunter, or an agent for the new government on earth, or is he someone who is like a jack of all trades?
Any ideas would help in the story development.
