Europa

Vinka · #1 06-01-2011, 08:02 PM

Original thread deleted due to excessive spam. And the conspiracies having been subsided.

Europa

Europa has been under construction again since a few days ago, and I will utilize this thread to announce any updates and changes.

If you'd like, you can leave your feedback, critisism, advice, opinions, or anything right here.

I am still following the same concepts I've presented in the original hirings thread. Although, I am slowly steering away from the 'classic' feel and more towards an RPG style. This brings me to the newest update; the three classes. The soldier, the assassin and the sorcerer. Everyone will start out as a traveller, and as time goes on they get to choose to develop themselves in either one of the three classes, more in depth info about this soon.

I've made a few hats for each class to give you a general idea of how they will look like:

I've also finished the 'OSL' of Europa - The Westonia Inn!

And lastly, the new clothing/tailor shop.
(the sketchy fountain is temporary).

This looks like the best thing I've seen in a long while. The art style is amazing!

You should make the globe on the fountain animated/gani so it will be moving

would look cool

Nice idea..

I'm definitly going to consider animating a fountain. Not this ugly fountain though, I'm deleting it a.s.a.p.

I've been working on a GUI/HUD tonight, any opinions/feedback?

simply beautiful

maybe put notches/lines on the health/magic bars (like a thermometer) to have "exact" measurements of remaining points? I'm not a fan of having eyeball my health bar to know how many more hits will kill me.

Way too big. User interface is one place you should try and be minimal.

I'm not sure if I would like to slice it up in increments

, instead I think putting in #/# hp as text in the bars would be a nice solution, don't you think?

Are you sure? Perhaps it just looks big because the picture it's in is very small? On my macbook 1280x800 screen it really doesn't take up that much space in the left upper corner.

I understand what you're saying though, I don't like clogged interfaces either. I tried to keep it as simple as possible and to fit the server's style, maybe that's why I subconsciously made it bigger than normal.

Cubes · #10 06-02-2011, 05:41 AM

I like it but it's huge and I don't know if it's just a coincidence or your image caused it but my nose started randomly bleeding while I was reading this thread.

Vinka · #11 06-02-2011, 12:26 PM

Alright Cube's bleeding nose convinced me, I scaled the HUD down to 75% and positioned it in the upper left corner. Any better?

Vinka · #12 06-02-2011, 02:08 PM

HUD in place with the #/# hp&mp I mentioned earlier. Also the new building I'm working on, the 'Auction House'.

callimuc · #13 06-02-2011, 02:12 PM

I like it. Maybe you should set own letters somehow. That normal 1 doesn´t seem to fit the theme

At the moment it is an npc with an image in a level. I expect the end result will be smaller. But, yes if it where to be that big you should downsize it. I think its great Vinka well done!

You should make your own numbers and letters using the same brushstroke technique/theme as the other tiles and buildings on the server

Same thought?

Gothika · #18 06-02-2011, 10:14 PM

What can I say? I'm a big fan of your work. Keep it up!

Thanks you

, I'm doing my best.

Alright, it's been a really long day for me

, literally from the time I woke up (around 10:30 AM) till now (0:07AM) I have been working on the new auction house.

I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I have in the process of making it!

I'll hopefully have it done by tonight, or tomorrow morning.

P.S. Yes that water is swimable, and you can jump off the stairway as if it were a cliff.

BigBear3 · #20 06-03-2011, 12:21 AM

I love you.

MajinDragon · #21 06-03-2011, 12:21 AM

Damn Thom that's just so hot, the only thing i can really point at, and obviously it's not complete, but the pillars and grass corners, if they were smoother looking that Bank (im assuming) picture would be perfect. I like the style you've used because it's unique as far as graal goes - that ive seen - and looks interesting and lighthearted.

Seeya · #22 06-03-2011, 12:23 AM

Incredibly sexy work Tince.

Emera · #23 06-03-2011, 12:52 AM

WOW VINKA! You really have been working hard. That building is amazing!

Cubes · #24 06-03-2011, 01:20 AM

It's hot, it would look great on 3D terrain but I've already told you that. I also wouldn't mind seeing a terrain tileset made by you.

He's slowly but surely working on one in his free time. It's coming alight quite well actually. I cant wait to see the final outcome. I know it will be amazing Vinka well done.

Crono · #26 06-03-2011, 12:23 PM

adorable

Felix_Xenophobe · #27 06-03-2011, 01:14 PM

o damn hwo did i miss this

killer stuff dog

Tricxta · #28 06-04-2011, 02:30 AM

I like it however one thing... shadows don't fade and while it's a game and allowed to not make sense I think you should take a the realistic and have solid shadows. Other then that great work

krossi · #29 06-04-2011, 08:16 PM

I think Europa will be a great server if you go on like this

your on the right path

BigBear3 · #30 06-04-2011, 10:19 PM

Or be another ****ty eyecandy server like Crystia.

But I actually like Vinka, so godspeed!

Vinka · #31 06-04-2011, 10:52 PM

Thanks

, but no worries Pat I'm making sure that won't happen. I've got two great scripters (Cubes & Ninja) helping out.

The auctionhouse is finished btw, also added some new tiles

BigBear3 · #32 06-04-2011, 10:53 PM

Cool bro!

StormYs · #33 06-04-2011, 11:05 PM

I love it man, I do not know much about making gfx and stuff.
But I do have eyeballz, and damn that building looks awesome.

smirt362 · #34 06-05-2011, 09:54 AM

Aww, you named an Inn after me <3

Also, awesome.

Emera · #35 06-05-2011, 11:25 AM

Feonix · #36 06-06-2011, 01:02 AM

Heh, that's a big thing to say... Thanks, but honestly noone hasn't seen nothing yet.

I just finished the new textures for dirtpaths. Also improved the tone of the grass a bit.

kia345 · #39 06-06-2011, 04:53 AM

Custom bodies in the future? Certainly not with many sprites, of course.

Yeah I've definitly been considering it. Yet I love the customization options classic bodies offer to players.
