Yumé: The Eternal Dreams

[TsukasaZX]

Ohaithar! Update!



On the right is the GFX as you knew them. On the left is a preview of the GFX as they will be from now on.

Tile system is migrating from my doofy "3xPixel" graphics and 84x80px size to single pixel resolution graphics and a more standard 64x64px size.

Nanami will receive a graphical overhaul to single pixel resolution and 64x128 dimensions at an unspecified future date.


The new brick tiles are pretty solid Beta and probably won't change much. The box tiles are super alpha and are just there to show I have more than 2 tile types in progress.

Those bricks are looking very good! The new grass is cool too

[TsukasaZX]

Hint: new grass is old grass, just not magnified 300%

It still looks better =D

[Munchor]

Maybe you could post here your new sprites like the door and stuff?

For those of you who were wondering how sanctuaries were going to be implemented, wonder no further. Sanctuaries are null fields surrounding a certain type of statue. This is that statue as well as a size comparison with Nanami.


The statue itself is a tad ironic, unintentionally. Think of them in their "religious" meaning, rather than their literal morbid one


As for the field itself, I'm debating between two things:

1) Letting the player figure out the field distance or be happy knowing that "oh hey, if I walk up to this thing, my health restores"
2) The grass or ground within the field itself glows slightly.


What do you all think?


Also, all human-like things get the 3xPixel treatment for now due to time constraints. Although, I think that makes these statues more visually distinct, such that players will be more likely to check them out.

[edit]
http://twitter.com/#!/NanamiMugenTeam will be updated as frequently as I remember with Yumé related things and other stuff.

Looks great!
I could probabily draw some blocks if you need me to, I actually have some free time and some experiance with making tiles.

"The grass or ground within the field itself glows slightly." I prefer this one.

If you could make me a 64x64 pixel water tile, I'd love you forever

Also, the glow itself wouldn't be animated so it'd just look gold/yellow-tinted. I'll go with that anyway though.

[JustCause]

Maybe have the glow come on only when you're within the range? Just spouting ideas here.

Sorry for no music progress. My VSTs are still broken.

[TsukasaZX]

I like that idea. Duly noted

Well, let's just hope I get at least a bare minimum in the next 1.5 weeks. I'd love to have some GOOD music when I demo my game.

1.5 weeks. Okay. I can do that. No problem. Easy as pie. Piece of cake. Generally speaking, as non-difficult as sweet pastries and/or confections. You can't see me right now, but hopefully I've managed to convey the hyperventilating, ultra-panicked state I'm in right now. If not...

* JustCause shifts into epic panic mode and begins checking his watch every five seconds.

Well, I guess I know what I'll be doing this weekend!

Oh, and when I tried to do a piano version of the title theme, this was the result... so I'll likely be finding some new VSTs soon or actually getting a legit recording setup.

[Geekboy1011]

I have no good vsts for fruity loops ;.;

need to spend more time on this just calling a blank on ideas

Don't hesitate to ask for music sprites too!

I like these sprites. As suggestion, I would put an outline on the wall sides (if any in the game) and the brown sprites, but make sure it's not too visible either.
