Snader, Thanks for the reply and the offer. I may or maynot have mentioned that I'm not ready for artwork at this time as I'm still very much polishing the tools and trying to get some basic game mechanics functional. I want to have a fully functional prototype after the first of the year. So Feburary/March is a perfect time. I will give you a poke as that time comes closer.  Again thanks! |

Di0xygen, Thanks! :) I have Lothgar Online going right now which is in the spirit of Dransik (the tile version). It is running, but is rather empty as I've focused more on the new technology rather than adding gameplay. But feel free to download and play it. (www.lothgar.com) Lothgar Online and Stygian Worlds will be free games with Premium account options. ------------- -Jason Ely www.lothgar.com www.stygianworlds.com |

Shark, Thanks! :) I want to stay away from a rendered/realistic look. We did that with Dransik/Ashen Empires and it made us look like Lineage and all the other Korean MMOGs. We were not able to stand out at all and the visuals were too busy for the eye. I want a more stylistic approach, something easy to look at and right with color. I love your medieval room. Check out the front page of www.stygianworlds.com - www.stygianworlds.com , that should give you an idea of the style. Here are some other links of some of the proto-type artwork we have worked on... http://www.stygianworlds.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=300&whichpage=1 - http://www.stygianworlds.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=300&a mp;whichpage=1 http://www.stygianworlds.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=832 - http://www.stygianworlds.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=832 ------------- -Jason Ely www.lothgar.com www.stygianworlds.com |

wow that work is impressive, although it doesnt seem to be pure
pixel art. will the graphics be like your pieces or will they be pure hand pixelled. also will it be another medieval type game? |

The game will be made up of pieces. In fact most things in
the game are movable in every aspect. Books in the bookshelf, forks, plates on a
table, and so on are all movable. Things are not bound to tiles or a grid.
Everything can exist on a pixel level coordinate system. Everything has a cubic
footpad as well. ------------- -Jason Ely www.lothgar.com www.stygianworlds.com |

What language is the game being programmed in? Im guessing C++? ------------- "At least we killed some boredom..." - Death Note. |

Demon, Yes, it is written in C++. I have also written a scripting language that all handles all object "Usecode" and much of the game logic. ------------- -Jason Ely www.lothgar.com www.stygianworlds.com |

Lothgar, I am very interested in what I have seen so far. I am still what I would call a newb to pixel art, but I have 10+ years in programming, technical writing, manual design, as well as other editing skills. I would love to help out some, time is my greatest enemy, but if you think you could use some help from someone with my skillset? I would love to see what you got... My website is: www.ninjasquirrels.com (currently down) My e-mail is: randomblink at ninjasquirrels dot com Let me know if I could lend a hand... ------------- www.randomblink.com I am me... no! Really! |
