The yellow is the room you're currently in (and any hallways belonging to it) the white are normal floors, gray are walls.
That's a grid control, sneaky, eh?
A couple of days ago I had an idea of how to make a fast efficient mini-map for the game, this is what I came up with after about 45 minutes of programming.

Very sneaky, but it looks pretty good. Mind if I steal your idea?
|
Go right ahead, it's not going to be nearly as quick on maps not setup like these ones though. The way I handle rooms makes it easy to access them without having to do any looping.
There's actually only two small loops in that entire system. | |
I can't say that I'm very satisfied with the way the graphics are looking, especially after Sariat's emphasis on getting the best of the best to work on this project.
I suppose that I should just wait though and see what this turns into in the future. PS: I love the way this looks. http://files.byondhome.com/Somni/2009-11/Sariat-0001/ drafttiles.png | |
Those wall icons are placeholders, I just hadn't worked in Neblim's wall icons yet. They're in now, but they're not quite as good as that, it would take some hand-mapping to do his original graphics total justice. I'll have another screenshot to post soon.

I just checked out the latest video you have on the right.
I suggest you take the deus ex approach for the interface, notice the top left corner here. http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/screenshots/gs/rpg/ deusex/deusex_screen003.jpg What I mean is you should try to do that for the damage, and get rid of the boxes. The boxes aren't looking very good right now. | |
The boxes also show what item you have equipped in any given slot. The human body image isn't even the one I intend to use, it's something I snagged from Google images.
