[WIP] Ünembra

[Pickleninja]

Hello everyone,

I posted on this in general, but felt this is a more appropriate place to post.

I've been working on this game for about 2 years (although I stopped for 6 months to work on someone elses game). Anyways, I originally did the game using pulpcore, but since it's no longer supported I've been switching to lwjgl/slick.


Title Screen:



Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Looks Cool!

Looks good, but why is it so flat (so wide vs height).
And let us play

I knew someone was going to ask this... there's a good reason... but for now, it's a secret  


Character Selection Screen:









Game Play Screen:






I'll update with more screenshots as I get them

Unique resolution will be unique

The graphics can be improved, but the style is interesting. Keep up the good work.

Yeah... I still have a long ways to go

Thanks though

Just did a stress test of Slick and had 8,000 animated images on the screen with 30fps  

I'm really starting to like slick  


Selecting Ground Tiles:


Digging into the ground:



I know... I'm terrible for ripping off Terraria and Minecraft

But I really liked the idea

Looks good, is the grass moving? would love to see that.

It's static right now, but I plan on having it move... what's awesome is that I got a couple other programmers that are helping me out now so I have more time to actually work on artwork.

Yeah, I was doing this in pulpcore and I started off an example lol... I planned on changing it, but figured it wasn't worth it since I'm doing a rewrite

I felt the characters on the characters select screen were kind of boring, and lacked personality, so I'm working on re-doing the portraits.

Here's a sketch so far:

updated: (I suck at hands)

I'm an anime nerd(sorry)

Moderated: anybody should feel safe browsing JGO at work - removed NSFW scetches

Sorry... I didn't realize they were considered nsfw... it's a non-anatomically correct sketch that's not even detailed below the face. I'll be more cautious about what I post next time.

If anyone is interested in seeing the sketches, you can find them here:

Problem is that anybody looking over your shoulder, getting a glance of the images, will get the wrong idea. Although the images are not detailed, it is clear that the characters are nude and therefore nsfw.

Understood... The clothing was going to be drawn on once I got the base pose down... sorry again

I like them sketches, i wish i could draw like this 

And i don't really consider them NSFW. I mean, it's clearly barbie doll anatomy. But who am i to question the Overlord?

[Riven]

As said... if your boss/manager glanced over your shoulder, you'd have some explaining to do.

So, I'm not against this content, it's just... not suitable for work.

I think I'd rather be catched looking at naked women than at barbies 

[sproingie]

If my boss glanced over my shoulder, I'd having to be explaining why I was reading a java gaming forum.

Hell, I work in anti-spam, I'd have to be explaining why there weren't any pictures of naked women on my screen.  I do occasionally love my job.

If my boss glanced over my shoulder, he should be grateful to be able see it!

Lol!

You have no idea how many years I've said this about other peoples drawings... I try to stay away from deviant art, they put my stuff to shame.

Did a mockup of dirt tiles yesterday... better than before, but I still don't like em

use offsets for Photoshop or gimp and then clone stamp tool or what ever it is in gimp and make it seamless. I know that I struggle with this type of thing.

Adding a secondary pattern over the top and setting the opacity on it down a bit seemed to do pretty well.

I saw a tutorial on putting a fade on the edges and overlapping the tiles for a  more seamless transition, but I'll have to mess around with it more.

Thanks for the input

Here's an updated version:

Err sorry but I have suggestion. Try to put big images in spoiler, use thumbnails, or just link. It'll speed up the page and less scrolling

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see if I can go shrink the image down when I get home from work. Sorry about that

[StumpyStrust]

very nice but there are still some seams when the tiles transition from top to bottom or the other way around. Not much, but they are there.

[Pickleninja]

Updated ground with static grass, and tiles that represent caves



I'll work on shrinking the other previous images down so the page loads faster.
