AETHERS'S PROFILE

can someone please crush my hopes again and confirm whether:

1. A script that allows you to change class/sprite in battle?
2. A script that Allows you to change the RESISTANCE towards an attribute (i.e. like changing it to A, B, C) via skills (as in SMT games).
3. Multi hit skills (or show multiple damage).

1. Yes.
2. Yes. If for some reason that data is static in the database, there are a few ways you can simulate it (e.g., with conditions).
3. Yes, you can make skills show damage multiple times, if that's what you mean.

I like the sound of those answers.

Alas, as advanced coding is not my strong suit, is it possible to request these scripts in this thread?

Been putting this off for ages (why I never finish anything), so here you go - at least for some closure.

Still can't manage to shade the frigging right (left here) thighs though. Pointed edges are driving me insane.

SW I noticed you tend to pillow shade? or is over aliasing a better term hmm
I like DE's contrast since it shows more of the form easier specially on that size, but yeah.

I believe "over-aliasing" is the correct term (and yes, I noticed it, a bad habit really). Somehow I always ended up wanting to keep the sprite as "smooth" as possible; so I use AA between shades.

I suppose it boils down to that I am afraid/unable to *NOT* using AA to make it smooth - while the problem is that this method is usually better for LARGE sprites (lots of area), but not so much for smaller ones (see the shoulder).

Also, my shading is terrible (Which way did the light comes frooooom)


Haven't been able to study DE's work today, so here's what I did to the color two days ago :

Can say that "YES" I am a bot in the topic maker questiiion??

Anyway, here's my latest work and I am stumped for a while now

(original size to make it easier to edit)

Basically I am asking your help to well... point out the flaws in the color department (or anything else if you think it's important).

For some reason I just can't come up with a good enough color for this piece. Normally I'd use blue hue as shadow, but in this case, the color is suppose to be reddish-violet (think, fire) so I can't really 'cheat' with blue.

Honestly it looks damp, and well... can't say I am satisfied with how it turns out. So what do you think? How do I fix it? Changing it to pinkish instead? Increase the brightness? Use rainbow color? Delete it? Call it a day?

In all seriousness though, I'd really appreciate any pointers, please feel free to edit it to make your point. Oh and since it's WIP, and origiounal!Tm resource, please do not keep it more than 24 hour in your computer.



Frame it instead.


Note:
The progression is LEFT ---> RIGHT
I start with white color, then change it part by part.

The Screenshot topic Returns Metal Max Returns!

Heh, I like it. The only two things:

- The sand/dirt tile is very bland. Try to make it stand "out" more.
- That sword is WAY too big for the character...

I disagree. For Both points.

Now, I can't say for sure, but I think he's trying to emulate the metal max style (Metal Max 2 from the looks of it instead of Return!) which is... NES graphics. That would explain the funky monster and the char sets (which is hmm, edited?). Also the huge weapon regardless of character size.

it's a bit strange but that's one of the interesting style metal max got.

Also, the dirt? it's post-apocalypse most likely. Besides the bottom screen is probably the Battle HUD or something so it won't look apparent.

Regardless, I find this really interesting. Glad to see someone is also making a metal max-esque game out there.
