Title: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: Anima on May 14, 2011, 05:29:06 am
Hey, guys. I need graphics (especially a title screen) for my new RPG, called "Lufia - The Legend Returns". The original is for the gameboy and I'd like to make a remake for the TI-84+. But I'm a very bad designer, so I need at first a picture like that:

(http://www.emuparadise.org/Gameboy%20Color/Titles/Lufia%20-%20The%20Legend%20Returns%20%28U%29.png)

Later I need many Lufia sprites.
Can anyone help me? And sorry for my bad grammar, I'm German. ;D

Do you want the "© 2001 Natsume Inc. Developed by Neverland Co. Lufia™ Licensed from Taito Corp." stuff in there, too?

Also, Welcome to the forums! :D I hope we can help you out!

Also.....How many levels of grayscale (if any)?

Yes, you can remove the copyright.
And... Well I don't care how many levels of grayscale. It's up to you. The main thing is it looks good. :)

Hiya and welcome here. Since it's graphics-related, I moved your topic to the pixel art section. Hopefully somebody can help you out soon.

I wish you luck in your project. By the way for how long have you been doing calculator programming?

What language will this be in?

I might be able to do that.

I think TI-Basic, but maybe also Axe. I don't know yet.
But one thing is clear: I need a good designer to make a remake of this game.

Very kindly of you. :)
I have been programming with calculators since September 2010, but I think my knowledge is good enough to start this project. I speak (is this right?) TI-Basic and a little bit Axe. In addition to these two languages ​​I program also in the languages ​​PHP, JavaScript and C++. By the way I'm only 14 years old. :D

For TI_BASIC, unless your using libs, greyscale is no go.  ;)

btw, you avatar ia the same as Iambian's!

No, I adjust the game for the TI-84 + to, so I will not take over all features. I see that I'm still a beginner (well not really a noob) and I'll make the game the way I imagine. Screenshots follow when the time comes. ;)

Okay, then I try it with Axe. Who is Iambian? Is it a crime when I use it too?

Iambian is who made Celtic3 if you know it.

I agree that it is better to not include every feature from the original game. It's best to start the project small, even if you are experienced, then expand as you progress. Also we need to remember that this is a calculator, after all. :P

Anyway good luck on this project.

Thanks. :)
But I'm really jealous of projects like Pokemon Purple, F-Zero, Metroid, Star-Trek or Super Mario. They are so awesome and of course their graphic is very good too. if I want that reach the water, I have to spent a lot of time and patience in this project.
But at first I need a nice title screen and an experienced programmer who teaches me Axe (i don't understand the commands, because I don't know the meaning, what advantages Axe against TI-Basic (except the speed)). Alternative: I need necessarily a good tutorial to understand syntax and advantages of Axe better.
Title: Re: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: yunhua98 on May 14, 2011, 08:41:37 pm
I would read the AXE q&a thread, documentation, commands list, and the community tutorials in the Axe Language subforum.  ;)

Thanks. :)
I decided to create my game at first in pure Basic (well I know that will be very slow), and later I'm going to try optimizing it with Axe.

This will help you with your RPG project, too XD

Got your title screen.

Very beautiful, but TI-Connect says, that the data file (lufia.PNG) is not compatible with the connected device (TI-84+). What's wrong?

You need to convert it to a file that's compatible (.8xi). PNGs don't work. I recommend that you load the PNG into SourceCoder to get an 8xi file:

Yeah TI-Connect is ancient and PNGs weren't popular back in the days, since most people used IE5/6 and IE5/6 had troubles with PNGs.

Nice title screen by the way :D
Title: Re: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: BrownyTCat on May 17, 2011, 08:46:22 pm
Update on the title screen!
Please give some credit since it takes a while to redraw stuff like this.

It doesn't even support sending BMPs unless you convert them :P

Okay, by the way it looks very awesome. Thanks. :)+

I need also new graphics for my game:
(http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gb/lufia3/images/characters/wain.gif)

(http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gb/lufia3/images/characters/seena.gif)

(http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gb/lufia3/images/characters/dei.gif)

(http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gb/lufia3/images/characters/aima.gif)

I think (if all goes well), I'm going to integrate 4 out of 12 characters in the game. Because 12 are too many.
Can someone create the images new in TI-84+ quality?
Title: Re: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: Yeong on May 18, 2011, 11:17:18 am
No Melphis? D:
I'll try for Seena and post it soon XD
Also, what size do u want it to be? 32x32?
16x16 will be hard to implement it XP
Title: Re: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: BrownyTCat on May 18, 2011, 11:57:17 am
I may be able to convert a sprite or two.
EDIT: Here's one!

Shall I change Aima with Melphis? ;)
Well, I don't care, but it should be 2 male and 2 female characters.

(http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/gb/lufia3/images/characters/melphis.gif)

And, yes. 24x24 is good, but it should be small, because I want to integrate those sprites in the battle mode. Later it should be look like this:

(http://lparchive.org/Lufia-The-Legend-Returns/Update%2029/18-Lufia_-_The_Legend_Returns.034.png)

Maybe I'm going to make the battle mode a little bit easier (not so complex as in the original version).

Post by: Yeong on May 18, 2011, 03:10:40 pm
BrownTCat, That's awesome :D But, it's kinda too big to put it in actual calc screen?  ;)
So, anyway, are you gonna keep the grid-based battle system?
Title: Re: Need graphics for RPG
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on May 18, 2011, 08:31:31 pm
You could inspire yourself from Reuben Quest's battle command cross by the way. It doesn't look as good but it was smaller. Actually I inspired myself from Lufia when making it. One of the final boss is even a Lufia enemy sprite lol. (up icon was magic, left was attack, bottom was item and right was escape)

I know, her sexy legs are not good-looking in here XP

Wasn't expecting it to be used in battle, I'll see if I can make a smaller size constraint.

That would be very good. :)

@yeongJIN_COOL: Thanks for the sprites. I'm going to use them for the battles.
@DJ_O: Good idea. Looks very nice and easy to make.
