that would be Wurm-Online. but about 4 years ago. as for today it ***** heh.

oh and Samorost 1 and 2.

Ive been lately brainstorming about making some very simple dungeon crawler. Ive been quite inspired by Desktop Dungeon. Especialy its beta version graphics. like this:

<img src="http://www.desktopdungeons.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/upsell_02.png" border="0" />

<img src="http://www.desktopdungeons.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/upsell_01.png" border="0" /><img src="http://www.desktopdungeons.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/upsell_03.png" border="0" />

So after some googling which havent came up with any descent tutorial i am here.

Ive been trying to replicate the tileset style of DD game but i think i am doing something wrong. my first though was to just make myself a seamless texture, one for "walls/borders" of the tile and the 2nd for the "top/middle". So i used the top texture and then scaled and disorted the border one so if combined with the top it would look like a chocolate bar, if you know what i mean.

but something is wrong. I dont know if its the perspective or what.

I imagine i could go lazy and just use one texture and then just make the border a bit darker + bevel but this looks so... amature. (like i am a pro myself lol!)

Any advices on that? maybe you know a good tutorial yourself? but just please - dont link me to some kind of tutorials database.

I am using PhotoShop5.

cheers!

TFG

This is a nice offer! Maybe i will come back to you sometime...

Your Email goes right into my Live Mail, thats for sure. ;)

be my guest. i actualy feel very motivated to create something nice.

i tried making some basic and simple games but my little son takes just too much time for me to be able to create a whole game from the base heh.

Hi there :)

Long time no read/post.

I am offering my help if you need graphic assets for your game. No charge.

Ive found myself unable to work on my game(Not enough time) but i still have a bit of free time to spare on helping others. I am not a pro but i work for free, so i belive its a fair trade. I just dont want get rusty.

i can do things like:

Static:

GUI

menus

interface in general

Sprites (buldings, objects, textures, machines)

Animations:

special effects (explosions, projectiles, lasers etc)

i contributed some space station sprites for epiar.net, couple of people for their games over here, and you can propably look around for my game pre-alpha demo on this forums.

As a hobbyst i have very various knwoledge and skills full of holes here and there. But i am always ready to learn and try new things. Just dont expect wonders :)

I also have some limited but rusty Construct-related knowledge and as a gamedev-wannabie but with some expirience i know how or where to get what you need.

Been a hired and payed writer for a game studio, but that was long time ago. Still, if you need a sideview or some advices ill be glad to help too.

All my work is copyrights free. At most, i just want to see my name in the game credits, but thats preety much it.

contact me via forum PM or (which i prefer) my studio email address

sadcatstudioryd@gmail.com

Kudos!

Here is an example that makes a sprite a 11x11 gird of it's image over it's area:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5426011/examples6/uvtiled.cap

If you want it to cover the screen just make the sprite the size of the screen.

hmmm it actualy works but now i remembered that i havent said that i want each of that sprite instance to have a diffrent random animation frame :(

So UV wont help here?

The trick is:

i want to fill the layout with a the same sprite. Preety much like with tiled background. But instead of hand-placing them all i would like to know the method for this to be done X number of times in grid order.

I do remember there was a method of doing this with UV command or something and that i heard about it from Newt. Sadly i cannot find it on forums.

Can someone please aid me on this?

kudos! :)

You could allow signatures, and not allow links to be clickable until a certain rep is earned, but fifty posts is a bit much, and will alienate new users.

i disagree. 80% of my posts were gained in H&S section just for asking questions. it is recently when i turned more talketive. and hey - i got 200 posts.

Offtopic but...

Newt, your new avatar gives me the creeps O.o

good to know.

thank you kindly Tom :) it means alot!

it was always like this. not sure why or why it hasnt been fixed long time ago.

it would be very nice. because seeing "?" as every 2nd letter is quite... well.
