I'm curious: will it be possible to add animation on that waterfall inside the game?

Since it is a 2d graphic, I will need multiple frames of images in order to do so, but yes, Absolutely!

If we're willing to put forth the effort to draw a graphic of the waterfall in another frame of animation, I can animate it in the program.

It should be quite simple actually; a few lines in the water that are changed from frame to frame, I would think.

I fell a little behind on the project / forum today...got distracted.

I'll try to keep this project going steady though.

Sky, that colored pic is awesome! That'd make an awesome menu screen. Nice touch to add the eponymous waterfall, it begin the Great Valley's most readily visible landmark.

Is the picture going to be shaded to look more 3D, or are we keeping it 2D? Both are fine, and since I'm not the one drawing I'm in no position to make requests anyway.

The waterfall, and maybe any river, and maybe certain other things could be not to difficult with looping a few frames. I would guess it'll stay 2d or 2.5 d since that is easier to code and do then full 3d.

Right, I didn't mean actual, full-blown 3D. Just 3D in the sense of a perception of depth, and shading. Or is that what 2.5D is?

2.5D is I think isometric.

And the menu is already done.
This is how it might look like:

@action9000:
I sent you the menu and buttons.

And now I'm taking a little break. Must do other artworks as well. :^.^:

All I can say is. That look's great

That picture looks great.

However, the trees don't seem quite right to me. That outline on a few of them makes them look like a single object instead of separate trees. In fact, I see that twice. Other than that, that's an excellent picture!

The picture and buttons look nice. As for the trees I didn't notice it at first and for a log in screen that may be ok, and any touchups could be done later, if it needs doing. Plus how long would most folks be looking at the log in screen?

Honestly though, it's very pretty and that's exactly what I'd like to see on a login screen: lot of prettyness.

Very awesome job, Sky! I'll replace the graphics with these.

That sounds great. I think it'll make a good log in screen. The buttons are nice and large and prominent with, as I said before, a nice picture.

Awesome artwork, Sky.

Yep, nice indeed

The images are gone..

Malte279 · **Reply #34 on:** July 20, 2008, 04:59:05 AM

Are they still invisible for you Iris? They show up alright for me.
I must confess I've been neglecting this thread so far, sorry about that. I really love that menu art you created Sky

Mumbling · **Reply #35 on:** July 20, 2008, 05:01:43 AM

Well.. they are still not showing up.. It says Grafik existiert nicht mehr. I know that it means, that it doesnt exist anymore. But I wonder why they do with you guys.

Kor · **Reply #36 on:** July 20, 2008, 06:06:58 AM

Looks german to me.

Malte279 · **Reply #37 on:** July 20, 2008, 06:34:46 AM

It is. I translated it to Iris (though I think she knew the meaning before anyway), but I have no idea why she can't see the picture

Mumbling · **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2008, 12:23:32 PM

I could see it on laptop, maybe I can see it soon on computer too.
