I'm not posting screens anymore.. as it seems too many people want to steal my graphics (ie the dozen pw's and amateur online games that have copied the style or tiles or characters)

However, I can tell you I'm still working hard on it, and I just need to wait for Stefan to release the new exe with more gani attributes so I can get down to serious business. I've been planning and replanning my systems.

Just recently I redocumented my magic system, hp/damage system, and melee system. Once I can add the needed attributes, I will be making all the stuff that has to do with items. (dropping, carrying, using, picking up) Then I can begin work on battling, which shouldn't take me too long since I have it all written down.

After that it will be a smooth ride, and it would progress VERY fast. The only reason for the slow progress is that I have been busy with life things, and that I'm waiting for Stefan to add those darned attributes.

Woah woah woah woah WOAH! Stop right there buddy. So your telling me no one has ever done that style of pixelation before? Bah you got to be kidding me. Before you there was pixel-zone.net and the pixelation forums, and before that, there were amateur online games. Even now the amateur online games look similar to yours, or do yours look similar to theres? WHO KNOW'S! What I'd like for you to do is actually have faith in people that they won't steal your stuff. Not everyone is like that.

Also, it sounds as if your saying your graphics are the best in the world and everyone's stealing or copying the style of them... Well... anime is a form of art in japan... so I believe your copying them. What about the millions of japanese graphic artists who are 13-16 years old and make sprites similar to yours. Are you going to blame them for stealing your stuff and/or copying you when A) They can't speak your language and B) They don't even know who you are? You seriously are an egotistical maniac sometimes, and your paranoia about "Everyone's out to steal my stuff so i can't be generous" is getting quite annoying.

Okay, you completely misunderstood. I don't think EVERYONE is stealing my art. What do you mean I'm copying anime? My characters look NOTHING like anime art.

Let me put this into words that you can understand. My art IS distinct. I know there are people that make pixel graphics, I know there are other games, wtf are you talking about? If you think I believe ALL of those people are copying me, you're the maniac.

It's not like I'm paranoid, I'm not the only one that notices when people copy my art. If you look around the forums you will see people saying "that looks like Oasis' roof" "that looks like an Oasis character". I don't give a flying flip if someone makes graphics like mine, when they have never seen mine before.

It's completely different when the people making this art, have SEEN my art, and also play Graal. For example, a person makes a character, using the exact RGB values as mine, the same head shape/design, and the same clothing style, even brown jacket with a green undershirt. As if that weren't enough evidence, they are making a PLAYERWORLD FOR GRAAL.

I just find it odd that there have been 4-5 different people trying the same style, in the same game, with the same colors. I don't think it's the best art in the world, I NEVER said that. I just think people have been copying my art a lot. That doesn't mean my art is the greatest.

I make like less than 10 posts a day on the forums... I'm not always at the forums either... Where did you even get that idea? Because I reply to posts? Dear God, we can't have that happening.

Nobody can sit and work on something all day every day. I would absolutely hate making Oasis if it turned into a chore instead of a pasttime. I NEVER understood why people start demanding that you work on something, like you're getting paid to do it and you're slacking off. I am making Oasis for fun, not because I'm getting something else out of it.

Keep making it for fun.

I notice people that don't make things for fun usually don't produce their best work.

ok well yes, koni people like your work, some people may copy it exactly. but as a new pixel artist myself, i would say when you see something you like, you usually use it as tips, like my characters look SOME what like yours and somewhat like mine, and somewhat like eveyr character. all sprites cannot be different, i dont use the same color style or anything, but like mine sometmies has a jacket or shirt or whatever, and baggy pants. like you told me when you make something your try to visualize it and study it. so i did, and your art is anime, the japanese word for cartoon like art is anime. now if anyone does steal your work, and it looks exactly the same, then it wouldnt be accepted, dont you think? now if no one ever copied any part of any body dont you think they would all look deformed???? you cannot tell me you didnt copy anything on yours from something else, it looks like a graal body skinnier and taller, but changed see? everyone does sometimes...

That's the main reason I voted to shut down sanstrata. It was getting more and more like actual work, it wasn't fun.

Fun is Good.
