Post by: Haraldur on March 06, 2004, 10:43:17 AM: DarkElite: why would purple grass not be there? What do you think of the tree like things?

If you are observany, you will have noticed there is a similarity between the grass tiles in Yggdrasil: Miðgarð and in this game. Spot the similarity anyone?

Post by: Haraldur on March 06, 2004, 04:20:43 PM: OK. This will probably be the second board.

This is an intersection with a signpost. The wood has no shadow.

Post by: DarkElite on March 08, 2004, 01:51:18 PM: there are 8 different grass tiles in the second picture....am i right?!?!
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on March 08, 2004, 06:20:05 PM: Wow. Cool screenshots and cool colours. I like them, I like them alot. It kinda looks like how I see the world after I take an over dose of my "medecation". LOL just kidding....I think....
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on March 08, 2004, 06:21:51 PM: Hehehehehehe...I just found out that the grass looks normal if you invert it...hehehehehehehehe.....
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on March 14, 2004, 06:29:21 AM: Really? I just took my Yggdrasil: Miðgarð grass tiles, and reduced the green and increased the red and blue...

In both pictures there are 4 grass tiles. Why did you think there were eight?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: DarkElite on March 17, 2004, 06:51:27 AM: you said there werre 15 tiles in the second, so i counted every one except the grass, and then i got 7, so i subtracted from 15 and got 8

Post by: quoaz on March 17, 2004, 11:49:24 AM: cool,my first thoughts were".........................." prety nice thoughts huh?
Thats how I always think B)
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on March 17, 2004, 12:40:03 PM: DarkElite: The trees are 4 tiles, so that leaves 11 on the second board, and 4 on the first board (as in: grass), The four normal posts are 6 tiles, with four different types of bottome two tiles, so that leaves 3... damn! I counted wrong! It is more than 15! Anyway... there are another 6 tiles on the centre signpost. 4+4+6+2+6=22 tiles... wow...

What do you think?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Cesque on April 15, 2004, 03:19:15 PM: Hmm... Let me suggest... It's a can of shoe polish which the villagers worship as god, right? Laughing

Title: (no subject)
Post by: Number Eight on April 15, 2004, 08:24:20 PM: heeheehee. Funny.

BTW: Tiles are excellent, although strange! Keep up the good work. You really should start up a pixel art service.

Also, (hehe) there is a bit of other tree's roots sticking in the right shadow tile.
Title: (no subject)
Post by: DarkElite on April 15, 2004, 09:01:15 PM: he wants that....also HAraldur....is the can o' wax supposed to be a bit blurry?

this is going to be a very cool game when it comes out! B)
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on April 16, 2004, 04:53:40 AM: It is blurry by mistake, but now it is the aura of belief, like in Terry Pratchett books and Black And White.

Number Eight: Pixel art service? Is that really necessary? Do we not have the wonderful Sophia for that? Besides, I still have to do some sprites for quoaz from last year that I have not got around to doing, and I have never done sprites before... The bit of root is from the tree itself, not from another. If you ever go into a wood or a forest there will be some trees where some of the roots stick up above ground.

Thankyou people!

Post by: Dude Man on April 16, 2004, 11:04:07 PM: Can you trip on them? That would be so cool! And so easy to do! B)
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on April 17, 2004, 05:42:25 AM: No you cannot, because the bottom two tiles of the trees are solid.

Post by: Haraldur on April 24, 2004, 04:51:51 AM: Dude Man, please do not go on about posting. It is annoying, and it encourages MotD to make comments. It is also unnecessary.

Dude Man, please do not go on about posting. It is annoying, and it encourages MotD to make comments. It is also unnecessary.

Why? It's just some thing we have on member thing, it's there to remind us how much time we have on our hands. I don't see the big deal really!
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on May 05, 2004, 03:34:03 PM: Well, you do mention it a little too much. It is not a problem, just annoying.

Post by: Haraldur on May 09, 2004, 12:48:07 PM: My first ever sprite! Comments please.

(http://http://haraldur.mysticsoftware.net/haraldur6.png)

And the template I made to make it: (http://http://haraldur.mysticsoftware.net/human%20template%201.png)

Should I do a tutorial on lifelike 64x128 sprites?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Number Eight on May 09, 2004, 02:43:00 PM: yeah, i dont believe ive ever seen any that big. but the trees are smaller than them ...lol...
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on May 09, 2004, 03:00:14 PM: That area is like a liliputian area, just not quite so small. There will be areas with bigger trees and posts etc. later on, you just happen to land in a liliputian area. You are the only person there who knows the metal object is a giant can of shoe polish because you are the only person who can see the top of it as the other people there are too short.

Post by: DarkElite on May 11, 2004, 07:24:20 PM: heh...

Haraldur, do you plan on writing your own walking program? Because how else are you going to get the character to fit?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on May 11, 2004, 07:43:55 PM: Maybe he's useing TK3
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Cesque on May 12, 2004, 01:21:49 AM: Yes, Halli uses tk3. B)

Perhaps he'll use some bigger resolution for the sprites to be more visible.
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on May 12, 2004, 07:48:33 AM: MORE visible? Your kidding, right?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on May 12, 2004, 12:12:25 PM: The resolution of the game is going to be 1024x786, so the sprite will not be too big. And I am using TK3.
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on May 12, 2004, 04:33:26 PM: Cool. Very cool!
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Spyder on May 16, 2004, 06:52:37 AM: Hmm, well, the template looks really good, but the character itself looks wavy. People's clothes do in fact hang straight off them Wink . I don't particularly like the color of his jacket either, and what's that red thing he's holding?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on May 16, 2004, 06:54:49 AM: It is supposed to be a mark on his clothing, the red stripe, well, red tick, It was badly done I know.

THanks about the template. That took the most time.

Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on June 05, 2006, 09:40:08 AM: The sprite is supposed to represent me. At the time it was made, those were the clothes I most frequently wore.

Actually, if I can recover the files for this, I might get this going again...
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Dude Man on June 05, 2006, 10:59:20 AM: Oh cool, because the game sounds interesting.

Don't worry Haraldur Burton's just some crazy kid, I can clearly tell that's a sprite of a dude.

Post by: D. Ein on June 05, 2006, 11:11:21 AM: So, Haraldur - are you actually working on it at all, or...?
Title: (no subject)
Post by: Haraldur on June 05, 2006, 01:31:10 PM: Well, I will not be abe to get the files back any time soon as they are on one of a stack of hard disks I have, but we have no desktop computers in the house, and will not be getting another one any time soon. However, when I get the files back, then I have a few interesting things to add to what I was already planning.
