I'm not sure if you guys need spell attack icons, but i'm working on a set over at Open Game Art in a similar style to the Wesnoth attack icons.

Winter knight, thanks, that example is a rather clever way of implementing bridges with "fake" elevation cliffs. I see i did a really lousy job of explaining what i was after. I'm not especially interested in bridges per se, that's just an example of something a robust elevation system could do. IIR...

Hi. I remember a year or two ago you had plan to include elevation in the game, so that you could actually make a bridge that characters could go under and over the same spot. I don't see any of that in the current demo. Did you have to scrap the idea because it was too complicated? If someone could...

My vote goes to Libertine Caps for titles and menus, and regular Libertine for everything else. I'm surprised you can't tell the difference between Libertine and Junicode, roots :cool: Check out the capital W's for the biggest difference. Also, I think Junicode's capital T is a little too wide. Lib...

A quick, fuzzy, generic elliptical shadow under the people would be a solid start.

Well, progress has certainly been made. The #1 thing graphic issue that i noticed is there are no shadows, around buildings, but especially under the people. I believe shadows would greatly increase the believability and readability of the game world. And i've previously raised my voice for the obvi...

My thought would be to have these only appear when the player walks near (withing 5-7 tiles of) someone they haven't talked to yet, with the major exception that certain dialogues flagged as "important" would always show an indicator, regardless of the player's position. :approve: I'm -hoping- some...

...Besides, I have to admit that the "speech bubble" is more intuitive. Maybe it can be an option (bubble icon (default)/current icon/no icon) in the menu somewhere. I don't really care that you dislike the version i made, but the suggesting that this element should be alterable in the preferences ...

i just played the demo.

here's a less mechanical dialog bubble.

An enlarge front-view seems to be a reasonable stand-in for a custom character portrait. A better idea IMHO than generic portraits. I believe it's important to have a visual indication of who's talking. Of course, the best is to have portraits done for every PC & NPC with emotional variations, but i...

(to be explicit; it's the "why aren't they giving you the über-items for free if it's clear that you're the hero who's gonna save the world?" situation.) I've seen games in which the merchants will give you an increasingly large discount based on the player's reputation. The guy still needs to make...

I realize the walls and floor need to be distinguishable, but shiny blue-grey vs chocolate brown is too extreme.

those potions are top-notch.

Another method to fill in the dry spots between leveling would be to allow the player to spend free XP points whenever he wants. I like to have a certain amount of control over how the character develops. Then automatic advances would be applied after gaining a level. The cost might vary for differe...

Yeah, it's very nice.

Whatever these damage types are supossed to do, "Mauling" isn't a great term to use, since it can refer to 2 very different types of "attack": maul |môl| verb [ trans. ] (of an animal) wound (a person or animal) by scratching and tearing : the herdsmen were mauled by lions. noun a tool with a heavy ...

"cabochon"
a gem polished but not faceted

"churinga"
sacred amulet of Australian aborigines.

#2: Create a stamina icon for each character/enemy seperatly and store it in a file Advantage: it would look nice and not require any fancy features of the video engine. Plus it could simply be a cut/paste job from the sprite, so it shouldn't require much work from the artist. Disadvantage: its sti...

Some sort of helmet would be a great way to indicate "generic soldier." It makes no practical sense, but it's a well entrenched convention that the hero doesn't wear a helmet much even if the rest of his fellow soldiers/knights/whatever do. Also you can put a group of helmeted soldiers together and ...

nice.
Can you make taller cliffs from these tiles?
