since im on page 2, i guess it's ok to bumpdate :P.  Mod almighty strike me down if not ^^

Fil has been doing the non-pixel work for all of these menus in photoshop and flash



trying out equipments; face is still a placeholder (will probably include more of the shoulders, he's a little too far down in the corner there) as is the equipment displayed on the sprite itself

Equipment : Mythril Sword, Mythril Plate, Mythril Boots, Kite Shield, Amaranth (Boutonniere)

Only thing I'm not so happy with ATM is the shield and the sprite's sword, i'll probably end up going for something less shiny for the shield and change the angle of the sword to fit better in the hand

A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

All of the posts by myself or Fil (ruddy text and black text, respectfully) are in English.  Navy text, our composer, are pretty straightforwards - click the link to listen to the latest version of whatever song he's posted.

Wow, that menu is sexy. I agree that the sword angle should be changed, but I think the sheild is fine. If anything I might tinker with the shape a bit..

I'm not going to pretend this is a small task either; certainly none of us here can claim to have accomplished it.  it's the realm of masters.  still, it's what we all have to try for.

Ya, the sword should definitely point more towards the ground.
Pity this is in flash, Flash is so sluggish and this probably wouldn't run on my computer :(

thusfar we've not seen it fall below 20FPS on the heavy tests with half a dozen of other apps open (like AIM and Photoshop.... we see how much abuse it will take).

There's little doubt that we will have some rough patches that we'll have to pretend don't exist ("concentrating" before unleashing the flashing skills, etc.)

One thing I should mention is that the maps are not going to be huge, which should help quite a bit.  The largest are 30x30 and we are working on ways to reduce the lag.



This map is as high as it gets and about a quarter of the horizontal space, and it still shows good time in the editor (which is highly intensive).

Trevorius - look around for god's sake.

Having troubles; one of those things where you do a lot of work but don't really see it paying off :\

I dunno Adarias, I think you might be overthinking the hero's face. Your first rendition is the most attractive (at least to my eyes) and the other two seems squished and awkward. Perhaps you should take a small break from it (if you haven't already) and recharge your batteries.
