Hello guys,
I have been struggling with graphical issues for quite a while now, and to be honest I have reached a wall... I mean, my main graphic maker was online like 3 or 4 times last 3-4 months... When he shows up we can talk, chat and spend few hours on planning, but after that I am left alone stuck with waiting.
I honestly wish, he would be the one to prepare the graphical side of the game as I really like his work and I also like him as a person. I am however starting to consider other solutions...
It's not that I don't believe in him - there is still faith on my side. However I am spending more and more time outside of the rpg maker, writing and planning, because - well - graphical side is lacking here and there and yet in another place...
That made me wonder, if any of the readers and followers of my blog know some 3d rendering methods, which even an amatour like myself could use to create scenes? Of course, I am asking just in case if I fail to come up withany idea for regular pictures in the game. If you know something, please let me know in the comments or on my email.
Also, while taking notes to the Meretrix's story I came up with a bundle of ideas, which may not really fit to 'Civilization' so I've started to think about not really too time consuming side-project. I started to wonder if maybe I should try writing it down and share an actual game with you guys while waiting for the second part of TEW? It would be 100% text based project (maybe with some erotic pictures added), so I can handle EVERYTHING myself, and have it actually completed in a relatively short period of time.
Of course, I ensure all of you that The Endless World is my highest priority and the game's future is not endangered by any of my recent struggles. To make it more valid, my graphic maker tested the current content before dissapearing again, and it should already have around 2 hours of playtime. I know it's not the mountain peak, but I say it's at least a good start ;)
With all that mentioned I will start two new polls to see your opinion about these two news from my side.
Also, I strongly encourage to write more of your thoughts if you think that the poll doesn't do the justice for your judgement of the questions.
Keep tuned and I am waiting for your feedback :)
It might be rude of me to ask, but how are you doing now?
OdpowiedzUsuńIt's not rude at all and actually thanks for asking.
UsuńFor the time being I have my real life work getting to its peak, so again - I have less time for my work on games.
Also, I still have no contact with my friend, who was supposed to cover the graphical part.
With all this in mind I decided to try doing a small side project - to at least clear my head before deciding on the direction Meretrix Story should take without the planned graphics.
As I mentioned in the main post: Civilization is my top priority and even if I am currently throwing some ideas at a different unit, I will be getting back to Meretrix in coming weeks.
Also: I strongly encourage readers to share ideas of an easy 3d engine, because I may end up creating graphics myself at some point.
How about try the studio function of Illusion games? I heard their latest iteration Honey Select is pretty good. Head to hongfire forums and you can find basically whatever you need. According to Illusion protocol it is generally OK to use screenshots for non-commercial secondary use, provided you give clear indications that you created those pictures using illusion software.
