Cool, happy to ear such good games goes well

About programming jobs, we finished inventory, trade system, dialog system, and we make new inprovement in gameplay, combat system, quest book, Ai, npc, many new effect and quests,...
wow lot lot lot of work i imagine.

I've been beginning some 3D cartoon action/platform, yeah
doing models, textures , seraching code and docs, adjusting things , trying some others are incredibly time consuming.
But when you have all basic 3D art practice , and all basic programming stuff, your next project i think can speed up a lot !

Like i said your 3D art is a really good cartoon art, with the good amount of details, no too much , not too simple like a simple color.

Keep up the hard work

Any news of this great game ? how it is going on ?

Hi!!!
Everything goes according to plan and I am very pleased with how everything goes. Many new codes, many new models and many new things otherwise. Since we are never satisfied, from day to day we change things and we try to make it appear even better.
I think we've found the final style and he should look like on pictures for vilage (this is the image where you can see smoke coming out of chimney). I think this will be our final style for map levels, but of course that in our is never 100% accurate We like to change things
The most important news that a major code in almost finished. But as everyone knows, this can never with certainty can not be said. But i must say many hard things in code is already finished.

We only must keep hard work, and i think this will be really interesting game

Cool news !
I think your game, is already really interesting indeed !I find the whole old style very good, for your new style don't hesitate to post some pictures !

I know when making things, we want always to change things,
my advice would be declare some models/textures finished as time goes (that's another problem for some 3D character artists that find always things to change)!

Do you plan to deliver some little demo ?

Keep it up !

About the new HUD buttons Equip, Action, portrait ;

i find they not fit the game, they are squarry, it reminds low poly games !
And the color grey and some sort of bolts,make me think it's iron ! why agressive iron theme ? make a green 3D button like in Mario games !
Why not putting soft glowy HUD button , very well rounded ?
And theses icons have different shapes ? the user like to see same icons for a purpose like buttons with same shape !
If it was keys, would you like to find 4 key slots each with different shapes, no interest !

I haven't done it well, but i mean a rounded 3D rendered Button with some soft shadow under it , would be great.
And why not some little glow.
And with the text at center of the button like Mario Galaxy, Zelda ! Putting text aside, forces player to look at button and description text !
With the text in the midlle of the button all information is at same place !
It's only design logic !

Better
Instead of text put icons it's lot better !
People visually decode more fast symbols than text !
So put a toon 3D sword in the action button, that would transformate into a cartoon 3D hand when in town !
For equip button, put a 3D cartoon bag icon on center of the button to mean equipment !

Well is just my opinion, ideas based on success games about HUD design !

Just my personnal opinion !

Yes Rachet, this is not our final version of the HUD panels, it's really hard make something what really fits in game, we try 50 versions of panlels for now, but i hope we will find some good solutions for this. In any case thanks for the advice, we will try something with your proposal.
About demo, we now work to finish complete part of game for demo, i do not know how much time we need to finish this job, but sure we will relase some demo before new year.

I like what I see here, good work!

How it is going ? Is there a video or demo, or even new pictures ?
Just to make us happy to see news of this great game !

Any news about this great game ?

Sorry but I dont have any news, precisely I did not do anything last weeks.

I recently left from the hospital, I was hurt my right eye so I had to have surgery. Now I have to rest but hopefully as early next week, my view will be 100% refunded and ready (now i see like i have DOF shader in eye ), and then i can back slowly to Forgol. Then we will show some video with gameplay.

Have a nice day, and soon I'll be back with news
