A few graphic works for my project - Feedback asked

[Riff 62]

Hi !

 

After a loooooooooooooooooooooooong absence I'm trying to get back on track and start a new project (J-RPG). Before I start messing with RM I decided to create a paper version of my game and create graphic concepts as well ; so here I am, asking for feedback on the first ones :

 

Main Menu, pics based (there's more selection than 3, the upper one is the previous selection (the one above in the traditionnal menu), the bottom one is the following, when pressing up or down button, those three will refresh)

 

The infos displayed are all fake, the looks are my only concern here.

 

Window skin

 

 ==> 

 

Cursor (the one used when selecting a target during a battle ; I will animate it later)

 

 

I use to draw/paint/design well but that was a long time ago (4-5 years) so it may not be awesome or ultra-gorgeous but I really want to make my game myself (at least for the most part), that's why I will disregard feedback such as "Stop everything and look for ressources on the net" and worship "Try to do it this way, the render will be cleaner" ^^

 

PS : I don't mind at all if someone want to use some of this stuff (credit is expected though)

 

 

Sorry for potential grammar/lexical mistakes, thanks in advance

 

 

EDIT : pic for window skin changed, a thin stroke has been added so that windows are easily distinguished

Oh my god that first pic is amazing. I also like the window skin and cursor but the first one is awesomely made. Great job!

Thanks, now all I need to do is find a way to code this menu x) 

 

I just realized that the tones of my window skin are maybe too light in comparison with the menu. I think I'll tweak that a bit.

I like it, it's definitely creative. I wonder if the cursor might be a bit too busy, especially once animated, but maybe I'd have to see it in action to be sure.

Hey,

 

It's been a while and I put this a bit on hiatus 'cause I started to learn scripting. Anyways, here's a concept picture for my equip menu (with and without item list)

 

 

 

Again, any feedback would really be appreciated (and if you have any questions, I'll answer gladly)

@Riff Please wait 72 hours before bumping your thread.

Wow, that equipment picture is mega cool.

 

I'd advise checking spelling/grammar though as it could hurt the game in the end, even if it looks great.

 

Reminds me a bit of Avernum.

And this is done with eventing? I got that from the learning scripting...

 

This is probably the best looking menu I've seen yet...

Thanks, are you talking about 'equipement' ? I struggled a bit with it and my dictionnaries gave me both 'equipment' and 'equipement' (and I just saw that I used both in the same window :facepalm: )

Anyways, if you find any other spelling/grammar mistakes please send me a PM/post here so that I can correct it

 

PS : I'll go check that Avernum thanks

x) This is not done yet at all. Those are simply pictures I made with Ps, but when I'm done with all the concepts for the menu I'll script it.

For now I only have main menu and equip menu so I still have to think about inventory, skill menu, codex (kind of like bestiary but with a few more other things, formation, save... x)

 

Thanks for the feedback, I'll work on my english for the next time

Wow, that menu is absolutely awesome! I was ready to drop everything and take it up! The window skin is a little plain, in my opinion....maybe some nice little "sweet spots" of analogous colors to your windowskin would offer some more eye candy? I know you aren't trying to make you game players look at your window skin instead of what's ON the windowskin, but I just thought it'd be a little more interesting. 

The cursor is very cute too ^-^ Is it supposed to be a corkscrew near the top? If it is, I'd suggest tightening the corkscrew a little, just to be a little more...er...realistic? Can't find the word for it ^^"
