Ah, I see, you're justifying the statement that it requires skill by telling us... that you get others to help you.

LOL yes, it's funny how at first he states "I make mods" now it's "I'm on a team that makes mods" next it will be "I'm friends with a team that makes mods" then it will be "one time I talked to a guy that was a friend of a team that makes mods, so my skills are 1337!!!"

[Soul-Blade]

Hehe fact is he cannot show anything, so what else can a guy do?

[JrTerrorist]

So many people say they're leet but actually steal/pathetically edit scripts, gfx, and levels :|

Some of the people who've applied to Everworld come to mind.. >_>

[Soul-Blade]

Hmmm I am having a dilemma in my mind right now - Should I show the new body/animation, or not? It is probably the best animation I have ever made...I will probably end up showing it. Well, I hope you guys will like it as much as I did when I saw it .

[tlf288]

Don't show it or you'll have every below average PW in the making trying to copy off of it. Its for your own good to not post it.

Believe me...

Overall I like the snapshot, just a few thoughts:

1: The reflection in the water, kind of looks like you are seeing down into the water, you may want to ripple that up a little or something... and I think the water color could be adjusted..The water itself has a texture that gives it a top-bottom repeater look, and makes it look like you are seeing something that does vertically. If it when across, then it may give it more of a horizontal feel.

2: The place were the cliffs go straight up/down look too straight.
The rock texture seems rocky, but goes completely straight flat from the side. I know this is because of the nature of tiles and false-verticals, but if you broke the grass up with the rock underneath along the top, that might help with the straightness thing.

3: Watch shadow intensity, every time you have a perceived angle, it's color value (shadow) will match anything else of the same angle elsewhere.

4: Shadow angles could be more unified.


I really like it though, looks like a playerworld I'd like to explore.

Lol, that's because you ARE seeing down into the water. It's not reflection.. that's kind of obvious from the fact that the below water rock pattern isn't a mirror image of the above water rock pattern.

[JrTerrorist]

HMm.. mirror effect in water..

*runs to leet scripter friend*

[Mykel]

[JrTerrorist]

Yes, it is.
But.. is it TOO impressive?

*dun dun dunnnnn*

Does any one else think that was confusing, or was it just me?

I have no idea what you're talking about, but I don't think you understand your ban reasons. 1) You were ban evading in that you were posting before being unbanned, and 2) you were using a staff account, which is not permitted on the forums.

And yeah, I don't think I am just gonna forget the past. You're a disruptive member - your childish antics on Oasis show me that you haven't changed - and it's my job to deal with people like you. You're safe for now, but you'd be best advised not to cross any lines.

Kai just because we are Mods doesn't mean we can make open threats to Members like this and this is exactly what it is. If you have a personal conflict with Soul I suggest you suck it up and act like a Super Mod you are. I happen to know him very well and have for several years, nobody’s perfect, not you nor I or even Soul and the decision did not rest with you to unban him so get over it. Making threats to him and telling him you are going to keep a watchful eye on him sounds like harassment to me , you are making it clear you are singling him out to watch. Get over it Kai.

Old news, Moon God. It's already been covered. Stop over-reacting and get over it.

[Soul-Blade]

Heh, I really appreciate the support Moon God, but its already been covered . Hehe although that is exactly what I was thinking when he first posted that...Ahem...Anyway, yeah.

Oh...and a update with this stuff...(of course, there has been many updates, this is just a bigger one =P)

The bodies I said were nice up there I decided I did not like, so I made new bodies/ganis, and I am in love heh. The new graphics are better then the first which I thought were the best ever. (I guess I am biased, but who cares =P).

Other then that it is running pretty smoothly, though the system NPCs will be like tackling a boulder from how comprehensive they are, luckily I have some very comprehensive planning to counter that...(Hehe...the PW reviewers will regret ever saying "Please Include a Readme" after they see the length of my planning, or private readme...sorry, no one but me, whoever helps me, and the PW reviewers will see the private readme. I might edit it though, and make a public version =P)

As far as expected completion/submission dates...heh, well, I am sure you remember Murasamune...that should answer that =P.

Well, I do like it, but I'd adjust the color of the water a little. Personally the whole scene reminds me a lot of FFVI, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I dunno, it just sorta bugged me at first. Good work though...I hope this project actually happens

Now, G2k2 is still Graal?? Nah...it's a seriously twisted concoction that isn't really anything graal-like besides some things from 2k1, which in my opinion isn't really graal either...oh well, that's just me

Hehe...will take as a compliment. Actually, the best one so far...hehe always feels good when compared to a professionally made game =D. So thanks hehe.

By the way...this project isn't going to actually happen...its happening =P.

The project is happening lets just hope you finish it this time!

I don't want to see another promising playerworld fall before it even makes it public. Besides, I need competition.

Hehe can't really compete with you...not until I manage to get a private *cough* nevermind heh...

Hopefully we can have some friendly competition soon. (and I might actually have some nice stuff to show on aim . Beware, it won't all be one sided soon ) Actually, a little competition is never bad, its when it becomes to extreme it gets out of hand...competition helps everyone hehe.

[Soul-Blade]

Gees...I just finished all the ganis/graphics for my characters body. Well, everything except combat stuff, but I do not need that until the combat system...anyway...I wish I could give you some info, but I won't hehe. I will tell you this though...the ganis are made so I can make new graphics very easily. In other words, more graphics for more items, meaning more variety...

Basicly, I have 164 sprites in the ganis heh. It got very complicated...but I am extremely pleased with the results. Hopefully, when I am nearing "release", you will be pleased with it was well.

This will be my last "public" update for a while (I expect), so don't think the project has died or anything hehe. If you are lucky, I might have a good screenshot after I complete alot of the graphics and levels, but thats in a long while.
