New RPG in Alpha Stages.

This screen shot is all I want to share about the game. I want to keep it's name secret until later, besides I haven't decided on that yet.

The picture has 60% jpg quality, so it was distorted a little bit.

Cool start! What kind of RPG are you making? Do you have any docs written up yet? What kinds of assets do you have so far, outside of this dude and his lovely field of grass?

newmodels

So far I have one monster created, but there is not yet a battle system. The character standing on the grass has a walk animation in the four different directions.

I am still learning 2d concept artwork, and have my attention turned towards drawing. I plan on using this project as a way to practice my drawing skills.

The battles are similar to dragon warrior, first person perspective.

As far as the blue guy on the grass, he is a place holder. I haven't designed the main character yet, and I am unsure if this guy is going to show up in the game.

Oh so this is just a practice project? Neato! :3

It's more than a practice project. I plan on finishing this game and releasing it. The project allows me to practice my design and drawing skills.

A RPG? Great ! One of my favorite type of games...

A status update. I am currently working on my art skills. What I am learning is manga artwork. I want to use that for the characters in the game. It might be a bit of time before I update the project with any new content.

Feel free to treat this thread as a micro blog. why not post some of your art skill progress here, too.

polykarbon.com used to have some really good tutorials, but apparently his blog ran into some issues at some point so while the tutorials still exist there, the index page that linked to them all is not yet linked from the blog - it took some google-fu to find the page again:

http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/

Though looking at the URL it was pretty obvious.

This project never went anywhere, because as I had given up on art and games. But now, I am revisiting Godot, 3d modeling and digital painting. I want to make this project. I plan on starting fresh with different design.

newmodels

As I said, when the forum opens up again I would post a screen shot. After I made this character and made them to walk around on the platform, I then started making the project in 3D. I don't yet have a screen shot of it. I am still making the character.

Looks good @newmodels!

A new screen shot. After putting a costume, hair, and walking around in temporary game world, I will post a new screen shot.

Yeah, i'll try to put the screen shot in.

newmodels

I decided to share another screen shot of some progress with the alpha RPG project. I am currently working on costumes, in the design process.

I wish you luck.

Things will get more interesting once there is a solid plan and we start seeing gameplay.

I found out that I know nothing about architectural designs. I am going to invent my own, without studying architectural design. I might also keep the towns small, to save on production time.

looks cool as a start.. but i see a 2d character on top, and here you creating a 3rd one. is that means you chaning your game style? or you looking to export the 3d character into a 2D shape?

newmodels

I've decided to change my design into 3D, and stop with the 2D. > @GogetaX said:

newmodels

I might go back to 2D. The reasons! Making the 3D art is taking too long. It's nice being just skilled enough to produce artwork for my own 3D game, but this process taking me too long. I have not even got a prototype running yet. If it was 2D, I would be running around testing out the grind feature already. What do you think? Because of time?

Megalomaniak

Trick is to create only place-holder art first. Then prototype the gameplay, final artwork can be left for last.
