Yes! More screenshots of Requiem... and the file is getting quite big with all those tilesets. (Let's hope the filesize is worth it). Anyways, enjoy!

Looking good, Fenix. I think Sakiot's battle stance looks a little awkward from that screenshot, but it generally looks good.

Those look awsome. I hope you plan on finishing this game, because if you do...wow.

i liked your previous games, and it looks like i'm gonna like this just as much. Cool

i especially like the "fire" symbol in asian (it's chinese and japanese, might be korean as well, so don't flame me, no pun intended) for the fire attack.

Unlike Eggie's horrible Urban Fantasy game, this game looks well worth the wait. I know I don't know much about it, but the storyline looks very very good. I will personally review it for you, I promise. Permitting it ever comes out. hehehe. Anyways, keep up the good work fenix. It really pays off.

I honestly don't like the filtery gradient look much. Too un textured and boring.

Flamer: Nope... it's Korean. Only Chinese and Japanese

Setu: That's why THIS is a TEASE ^.^

MSW: Gradient look? In which ones? I'll try to fix it (because I try to avoid gradient as much as possible)

Grrr... CP messed up my message that took my a little while to type so when I re-type it it will be brief 'cuz CP is really bothering me:

The sand in the first screenshot stands out. It should not be as bright and have some little streaks in it. The only thing that gives away the fact that it's sand is the water.

January village looks too softened and foggy. Sorta cartoony.

The cliffs don't have much varation. A shrub or two and some little rocks that stand out would make it more interesting.

I dunno if you use the "backdrop" type maps in your game often, but if you do, don't. They should only be used in cut-scenes or very important places. 'Course, I'm not you, and have no idea whether or not you use them a lot in your game. It's just that a lot of the screenshots you show are like that.

I said Sakiot's battle-stance looked awkward, but now that I look back on the screens, it was his cast-graphic.

Hatter, he said that that map actually does scroll, meaning that it's a little more than a backdrop map. I myself have been considering small maps for optimal tile use myself, as opposed to large ones with vague tiles. I played Genesis today (which pretty much uses that system), and it just makes me want to do it more. Those kind of maps are awesome.

Hatter: I understand what you mean. Backdrop type tilesets aren't very ideal for an editor such as the OHR. Yes, all except the world map uses this style, and I'm trying hard to make it a "scene" rather than a "still". And, yeah, I know that some of the backdrops look rather plain or just wierd, but this is my first time doing something like this, so just bear with me Ha ha ha!

. And adding to what Uncommon said, yes... it scrolls AND is animated.

Oops. Heh heh. I should pay attention more.

Fenix, what program did you use to make your title screen?
