how to gui pls

That's one thing I haven't mastered (not saying I've mastered anything else or anything)

Idk just draw them and code them lol only way I can put it XD I can't explain how to do them I just do them

Well, I'd say look at Falacy's Monster Kingdom, taught me a great many things. However, you'd first need to repair the broken references and then the layer. At least that's where i learned how to GUI, though I am no big master, rather a beginner.

Hey guys, remember what I said about me making a pseudo-3D battle system? I've got some good and bad news:
Bad first:
I still suck at everything that's graphics and can't seem to get into blender. Oh well. No original sprites for you, folks. I used some images I found that I'll replace. Especially the parallax, since it doesn't loop correctly and is too small for my fighting system.

Good one:
This gif should resume all the good points nicely:http://imgur.com/a/JbVwm

Man, great idea. It will still need some time to make a few, since I'm thinking of doing some 3D prerendering so that I only need to take 3 camera shots in a different angle for the mob icons and stuff without having it look awkward and I am finding blender somewhat difficult to deal with.

I recommend you to tone down the grass contrast a little bit, I think it will looks better.

I intend to redo the grass completely it was just a first attempt xD the tiles I've made before are boring me a bit, my bases idle is animated and I hope to have quite a lively world that looks actually alive and with grass and tiles like these it just won't do :p but I appreciate the comment, next time I'll tone it down a bit

Tsk tsk tsk... Gotta do better Gold.

Tiles aren't my strongest point XD but I'm getting there man I'm getting there everything else is going smoothly I just haven't taken the time to work on tiles yet I don't see them as important this early, everything I've done so far is essential

Old


New

I don't really like the use of a poll to get an answer for that.

I personally only played epoch and it was fun, there is nothing wrong with any of the 3 options but the poll is so one sided towards making a new engine.

My only comment to that is, what if SS13 were told they better make the game from scratch?

The games you made using your knowledge and experience aren't trash, you can improve on them and make something greater without wasting time reinventing the wheel.

I don't feel like any choice is a wrong one, it all depends on what you -want- to do but I feel as though "let's remake the whole thing" is quite the common mistake developers tend to do and lose a lot of time because of it.

This ^^^ Although it depends a bit on which of those options excites you the most. If you're just sick of looking at those engines, it might be worth working up something else.
