Okay, well I'm working hard on graphics for Oasis, because as most of you know, graphics are very important (just as important as scripting and level making) I have improved some of the old graphics a bit (A BIT) and made some new ones.. mailbox, boxes, jars, and fence tiles.
A screenshot is attached of the most recent Oasis level test.
I am also looking for some graphics people now.. If you would like to make some tiles and perhaps sprites for characters or other things, then contact me via forum pm. Remember, I'm looking for people that can match the style I use (or at least make good stuff and allow me to change it a bit to fit with the tiles) you have to show me some work, and if you have aim to talk to me on, that is preferred. I will give you some tiles from my tileset, but I will not give you my entire tileset. If you want to work for me just to get new graphics and stuff from Oasis then forget it. =P
Okay, on to other things besides graphics. I have been playing other pw's to see what they should have done, and I realized that there are so many buildings and things on pw's that players can't really interact with. How many times have you went in a house on some server, and it had the basic bed, maybe some pots, and nothing interesting? Nothing to read, interact with, etc. So many empty buildings.
Well, I have planned for Oasis to have a highly interactive environment. There won't be lots of stuff sitting around that doesn't do anything.. like for example, books on a table will actually be able to be looked through, instead of just being inanimate objects that are only there for looks. You can turn on ovens and put food in them, etc.
I will be looking for level makers in a short while.. I have gotten a lot of people messaging me that want to make levels for Oasis, and I will be sure to make a guideline document, so that levels are made properly using the tiles, and how to make the trees, and everything else. I'm trying to make the tileset easy to manage and use, but some things like doors and things I have planned need to be incorporated into levels that people make.
Soon I will be posting more pictures of new tiles and eventually some new player stuff, such as swimming, climbing, and all the other basic things. Stay tuned!
Oh and by the way.. please do not point out any flaws in the screenshot I attached.. if you don't like something, or think something should be changed, do not tell me about it now.. because more then likely, I already know about it.
