Megaliths < First Page Updated!!

I tried to create a new character. When I press create character the sprite in the top right corner goes blank and nothing happens.

[Rory]

You were supposed to enter your name in the small brown box.

Yeah that got me for few a seconds.

[Rory]

Same here, didn't spot the brown box till I clicked around in frustration. :oops:

When will you be testing again? I had a lot of fun the last time.

I think I like the maps cause of the open space. I've noticed a lot of the games squeeze so much into one map, which makes it confusing and jumbled when you want to explore or walk around.

Good work so far. I love the goblin camps and the interaction with the npcs.

I fixed my site..

orpgcreation.com

what do you all think??

Anyway.. a new screeny of some new tiles.

[Anthony]

I like the site, it looks good.

The game is still gorgeous, the new tiles are sweet, keep it up man I want to see this one make it.

[Mithlomion]

Some tile previews..

[Rory]

Nice job ZoSo, those floor tiles in the town shouldn't look like they budge out of the ground too much though.

[Robin]

What's the point of making so many sexy buildings if we can't go inside ;-;

[Mithlomion]

Anyway its still in development, the tiles.. The houses need to be fixed.. and some more detail need to be added.

But yeah, latest screeny.

[GIAKEN]

Holy...

That looks amazing. How do you do it!?

[Rory]

He uses photoshop to do the sprites, thats how it gets that realistic textures.
You'd find it difficult to get that much texture and detail into materials and tiles with paint, doing each pixel yourself.


Also, nice buildings, ZoSo.

[Joost]

Path seems to be floating a bit, everything else looks good.

[Rory]

Thats what I said :lol:

[Labmonkey]

The tiles look nice.. but the way you mapped them doesnt seem to fit with the rest of the tiles. It seems like those tiles should either be straight and perfect, or be VERY beaten up and wavy. The slight curves you put it look really bad...

[Mithlomion]

Megalith forum is so dead .

[Anthony]

Ahhh, the text.. It continues to overlap onto the GUI.

[Mithlomion]

Some graphics, and tiling in acting and stuff like that... aaaa..



And some other stuff..



A video preview

enjoy..

[Pbcrazy]

nice, i like the animations.

[shaded]

Yeah that is bad ass! Good job on cutting down on the GUI. I like this new style better.

[Mithlomion]

Well yeah, ive been quite lazy on the graphics.. But DFA has been working.. And he just sent me the latest client, its really smooth.. ive never seen a MS based game start up that quickly.. Takes less than a second. Ive just started working on the graphics again, i played around with the fogs and snow a bit.. and man, just by using your imagination you can do awesome stuff.



I first just tried a green fog, and played around with the effects a bit.. But after a while it led to something alot cooler, its hard to show all this through a screeny.. in motion, its really awesome.. there is basically two fog layers scrolling in the opposite directions.. And adding different effects to these fogs creates an awesome "heat" effect.. makes the map look really hot like the whole forest is on fire.. and then i edited the snow flake graphics into a fireball.. and i got this result.

But yeah, it looks alot better ingame.. so i made a video..

I think those effects are exactly what your game needed. It was great before, but this is the cherry on the top. It's dazzling enough to attract players now who rely on graphics rather than game play.

Combined with the artwork and a new coder....you are golden.

[Mithlomion]

Game runs at 550+ FPS.

[Mithlomion]

No i dont .

Anyway check out my website

I totally remade it, what do you all think? It matches the GUI now
