RPG Maker XP Adventures (Troll Game) Update2

Ok so only a little update but I felt I would like to share the work I have done...

So apparently waterfalls in caves are not allowed to have nice bubbling endings to them.... :( I searched Google high and low to see if anyone made a custom waterfall autotile but apparently I am the only nutter that wants a lot of caves in their games...

So I was left with the only option of making one (or editing the grassy waterfall to brown pixel by pixel)

I would like to share this so no one has to go through hours of unnecessary pixel work themselves.

One fully working cave waterfall auto tile. Feel free to use in commercial and non-commercial games but please do credit (me) Nights-Rune. :)

RPG Maker XP Adventures

I was in two minds about weather to blog about this or not but I decided I would. I have recently brought myself a program called RPG maker XP which I hope to use to create games. I have also signed up to a community for game devs to learn and get involved with other games. (link here for people who want it)

I have decided to showcase the work I am doing on my game and on other projects. So stay tuned for more updates.

To start I am showing off the art assets that I made for a horror project called deep within the mind (which has been shelved for now sadly)

It is only a title screen and some buttons but I am fairly pleased with how they turned out.

Winterspring Cub - An MSPaint Study.

Just playing with MSPaint a while back I decided to try and do a study of the new Winterspring Cub that I have on World of Warcraft. He was too cute not to draw and I wanted just to play with a simple art program.  

Animated Troll...

I posted my old sprite sheet for my Troll character Rune a few days back. The good news is I decided to finally make her into a series of animated GIF's. I am really pleased with how she turned out.

I think she looks really good now she is moving and it was a lot of fun making her.

The program used was Photoshop CS5.

I think the ear of the original forward facing one looked a little odd. It looks as if the ear keeps shrinking so I changed it. I think the new one looks a lot better and works better.

Now it looks like she is just wiggling her ears a bit as she walks. Which is something the character does do.

Old Sprite Work!

Was looking through old things I have made and found my first attempt at spriting. I must admit to using a human female base however it was an extensive re-colour and the ears and tail are all my own work.

The sprite itself is compatible with the old RPG Maker XP software and is fully working and useable.

So anyway... I am very proud of her as for a first attempt at sprite work she came out perfect. I should really turn her into a moving GIF at some point...

Update: I made her into a GIF check the blog post HERE.
