Oasis development snapshot

konidias · #1 02-28-2002, 02:29 PM

Well, I really don't want to post this, but I might as well since some people are starting to think Oasis is dead. This is just another development snapshot.. there is going to be a LOT changed in it, so please don't criticize it like it's finished.

The tree needs to be detailed a lot, and many things need to have color changes/fixes. I improved the detail on the door and wood on the house, I still need to fix up the bush, I might make a new one, who knows. The tree is in very early stages, and needs a lot of work, including adding grass around the base, cleaning up and detailing the leaves, as well as the trunk.

Also the sidewalk is just a tiletest, I'm not even sure I will use those tiles in that manner, and the big squares need editing because they seem to rise up too much.

So anyway, I just wanted to show the picture, and also say that Oasis is still well under development.

I have finished a bunch of sprites for the character, with many more frames to do. I started work on the system and movement. I have decided that the players can jump down small cliffs (smaller then you can currently jump down on graal) but also, be able to have a "climbing skill" meaning you will be able to climb down and up larger cliffs, for a more realistic effect (it feels like you're jumping off a 2 story building on normal graal)

I have made more tiles, and have started working on indoor stuff on the side. If stefan ever adds a transparency option for showimg, I will make shadowing for the trees and other big things.. I just wish he would make overlapping tiles already

That's all for now.. I will probably post another screenshot or two in this thread eventually.

Not bad, not bad at all, the tree trunk needs a little work though, add some more shading, it looks a little flat and it should stand out some more. Re-color the bush aswell, it really don't fit with everything else.

Very nice, but I think the tree trunk andthe grass patches needs some work.

Kaimetsu · #6 02-28-2002, 05:00 PM

TDO2000 · #8 02-28-2002, 05:59 PM

Very nice char

Loriel · #9 02-28-2002, 08:45 PM

I agree, it's spiffy, especially the char

I'm gonna steal it as soon as Oasis gets up.

vovavziggy · #12 03-01-2002, 03:32 AM

I don't see what's so bad about the trunk

master-x · #13 03-01-2002, 03:35 AM

i dont think the tree is ugly and the char is great.

Jinx · #14 03-01-2002, 04:26 AM

That trunk is better than anything I could do =P

Very good job, especially on the house and char graphics.

_0AfTeRsHoCk0_ · #16 03-01-2002, 06:43 AM

I agree it looks excellent. I hope it's not too late to say this, but the house is a little small for the person and I think the house edges (like the roof) look a little too square... maybe add corner tiles to it

Faheria_GP2 · #17 03-01-2002, 06:46 AM

the whole thing looks too cartoony

looks like an episode of scooby doo or something

Birdbird_0 · #18 03-01-2002, 08:49 AM

I love it

But the picture sorta makes things look flat for some reson,

LiVeToDiE · #19 03-01-2002, 10:20 AM

I think i just cummed in my pants looking at that. holy wowness

nyghtGT · #20 03-01-2002, 11:26 AM

Mr. Chik: AKA (Acc:Royce):
Try not to use square walkway tiles, makes the image look way to flat.

...Make a new gfx for the dirt around the pathway. What I think you should do because of the door problem is zoom the character smaller as he opens the door. That would rock, a gani of a person opening the door and as they approach he door the character gets smaller in size. Also maybe you could make a gani with the player looking in the window but using his hands to block out the light outside, just like when you look through a window in a house you put your hands in a "A" shape over your head to block the light so you can see. Those are a few tips and ideas. L8rz

Good job Konidias, I know Oasis will be good with such a talented owner.

thomasward · #24 03-02-2002, 07:52 AM

I lub it all, except as people have said about the tree trunk and the size of everything. Also those square tiles could be fixed as well. But apart from that its all great!!!

You leave Scooby Doo out of this or things will get rough.

Matman58 · #31 03-03-2002, 11:44 PM

Looks good

alarid · #32 03-04-2002, 12:33 AM

Chacter matches but the grass willow doesn't.

konidias · #33 03-04-2002, 02:24 AM

Here's a little updated pic.. the tree has been edited some more, and also the color of the bush, the coloring of some of the stuff is a bit messed because of the snapshot (the lights on the house)

I still need to blend everything more, finish the detailing of the tree, and improve some of the other tiles, and that's just for what you can see here.

alarid · #34 03-04-2002, 02:26 AM

NICe!!

Nishoku · #35 03-04-2002, 02:47 AM

The tree trunk looks fine to me, (In my opinion). The only problem i see is the grass/flowers. Everything else is great.

Don't put grass over tree trunk. BTW Will you post the titles?

The leaves on the old tree were too bland, I made them a bit more colorful and started work on giving the leaves a bit of shading.. I think that part looks a lot better to me.
