You realize you could be sued for copyright if you try & post this game online?

well yeha, but BYONDs pretty small and DBZ games are on there and you never see any of them shutting down because of coppywrite laws, I doubt its not gona be the same for .hack..
anyway..
How you like the screenshot?

Truthfully, it looks pretty.....................empty. Try making more characters, or less space.

I must agree...

Hardly any objects on screen; in fact, none! You could add a bit more trees

maybe a grunty or two? im just wondering are those two actual people who are gonna interact? or is one and NPC, or are they both NPCS

well, one's a long arm (you see the huge stick?), so it must be a PC. As for the other, it looks like some sort of... guard, so that would be an NPC. And seeing how the setting looks like it's definately not in the field...

I thought it looked more like a big sword instead of a stick? =/?

Anyways, yeah, it looks empty. Add Puchiguso~

Well I need an icon maker (+ That was PCs not NPCs (just test icons and a test root town) soo I need peoploe that can draw gunties and stuff (I allready have people that can draw overlays for the icons) Its basicly just a little test I put together to show ya guys.

Looking at the picture... wow... It is empty.. & the graphics aren't too great.. You'd probably be better off using RPGmaker or something.

En der · Post by **En der** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 3:41 am

No, the graphics for RPGmaker are even worse that what Data Bug is showing us...

DataBug, have you played Runescape? It's 3D. You could do the same

If it were in 3d, your test screenshot wouldn't look as crappy

Flame Sage · Post by **Flame Sage** » Sun Jun 06, 2004 11:17 am

Hmmm 3d.... yeah thats an option... but I need someone that CAN make 3d grahpics or.. it wont be 3dish =P
(Note: I cant do FULL3D but I can have it like 2d with 3D looking grahpics.)
