[Showcase] Sora A Tale of a Hero

wtyson

thanks only took 2 hours to render lol so wish i had a faster pc !

Catacomber

Your work is very artistic. And the result is extremely pleasing. : )

EDIT: Just watched the video. Looks good. Can you move the camera a little bit closer to her in the interior scene? It's hard for me to see her figure.

wtyson

yeah i haven't gotten to far with that scene yet still working on the main scene just wanted something to show that there will be interiors

wtyson

Added pic of new overview screen

Firrerreo

I really like your direction for the GUI and the art in general - it's all very warm and inviting, and I might even add, charming. The font on the dialogue box might be a smidge hard to read, but that could just be a product of my bad eyesight and the image being smaller than the intended resolution.

Can't wait to see a playable demo. :)

wtyson

@Firrerreo yeah im basically waiting to see how it will render out once i got a demo going. if the font gets to hard to read then ill just have to change it. since the story line is what is most important int he game. ill test it on different resolutions tomorrow and if its to hard to read then ill go for a normal font. thanks for the input it helps alot :)

wtyson

added a new pic to get some input the new pic shows some lanterns with particles added to them attached to the houses now i also have particles in the door ways to show places that can be entered. now is this to much? because im also thinking of just getting rid of the door particles all together but not sure if the lanterns particles are going over board

keyboardcowboy

Personally, I liked the lanterns. It adds a sense of warmth to the scene with the art style you are using (which I like)

The doorway particles, I'm neutral on. I'm an old gamer and can figure out if I can enter that building or not ---by actually trying to walk into it :)

wtyson

@keyboardcowboy lol i was thinking the exact same thing on the doorway particles. Thanks for your input i think i will be going with the whole no doorway particles thing.

Catacomber

I think you should ditch the door particles. : ) That's the type of thing the point and click adventure games would use especially for older players whose eyes weren't so good vis-a-vis seeing important targets on the screen. : ) Most of us can see the doors. : ) And walk into them.

Besides if you do this for mobile, the fewer particles you have in the scene the better. Eats up frame rate really fast.

I like the lanterns.

wtyson

yeah im ditching the door particles. mobile will be coming later but i got to replace all models in scene with lower poly ones figure id do the pc version first then mobile but at least porting it just means swapping models!

Catacomber

It means swapping shaders too---all your shaders should be mobile versions. Not too hard but keep it in mind. : )

The shaders will kill you on mobile sooner than the poly count.

wtyson

ahh thanks for that wasnt thinking about the shaders at all luckily i dont use anything really. well sept a few custom ones. do shadows cause any issues?

Catacomber

Not that I know of. : ) Just shaders and you should change the size of your textures to 512 if they're 1024 for mobile. : ) If you can put in a terrain you have the patience to do this. : )

wtyson

cool thanks for the info that will come in very handy in the feature!

Catacomber

I'm using real terrains and sky boxes in Wizzard Island with no problem--but the killer is complicated particle effects and using the mobile shaders.

For example, where you can use the full 2 water and fire particles for attacks in ORK2--you have to use just one on mobile or your game will go haywire. I found that out in ORK1--it's not a bug--it's a problem with mobile--you have to cut down the particle effects.

wtyson

hmm ill keep that in mind when i go to port... cause im using alot of particles mobile version will just have to be a stripped version of the game i guess...

wtyson

new web site is now up and i am working on getting it set up but for now all new pictures an what not will be added to the new site instead of here so im not taking up alot of space! :)

New website up! (work in progress) Nissyoku Games

Firrerreo

Nice new site, I like the layout. :)

I also like the lanterns - really brightens up the space and makes the village looked lived in. I think I need new glasses...I didn't even see the door particles until keyboardcowboy mentioned them - you may not need those unless there are going to be tons of fake doors the players can't enter.

wtyson

Thanks as of now the site looks a lot better was having issues with the slider not working but now its working!
