Seeing as there is so much down time in the creation process, I thought I'll take all the images and such used and through them all together in a single thread just for kicks and giggles. Kind of a portfolio for AA. Also (I can't believe I am actually having to say this) these images are copyrighted under L&E Productions. Please to not take them without permission first.

Arc Arath Screenshots:
Image
(The title screen... which has changed a bit since then. Specially since we dropped the SOE pre-title.)

Image
(In the game, you'll make many choices that may or may not affect the story.)

Image
(The classic "battle ship" on a smaller scale. Desparate attempt to get more game hours in? Maybe...)

Image
(Later in the game while crossing continents... doesn't do the actual size of the planet any justice.)

Image
(A dungeon early into the game.)

Image

Image
Two title screens I wanted to use in lue of the current one but can't because even compressed, they are both 3 block... while what we are already using is only 2. And I'd rather not have two sprite cards when the second would only use a 3 blocks. Ah well... hince why they are here instead.


Arc Arath Promotional Images:
Image
(This was the first banner that was used at the mag. It'll pop up randomly in the banners of the magazine issues.)

Image
(The first promotional image done just for the hell of it. This was also around the time I started working with Photoshop.)

Image
(My first attempt at a background image for SOE... again, before the title change.)

Image
(Killed a little time and tried to make another background image.)

Image
(I'm not too fond of this one... so I'll just chalk it up to being bored.)

Image
(^_^)

Image
This is a preview for the add I'll be placing in the Megazine that's due out later this year. Took me a while before I stopped messing with it... and I'll probably mess around with it a bit more before I'm satisfied.

Image
Graphical representation of the magic system used in Arc Arath as mentioned in the 5th update video.

Image
This is the newest background I have made. It features Lamar's work.

Image
Image
(These are the original images that were going to be used as a sleeves for the game. Of course, it was just for looks. It would be nice if somehow you could make an image of RM1's engine and have all the save data read from the disc. If so, maybe we COULD actually make cd's and have need for sleeves. I doubt that'll ever happen, but it would be neet. ^_^)

Image
(The logo for L & E productions and icon for this studio.)

Image
(An updated screenshot of beginning of the FAQ.)

Image
(Here is a closer look at one of the continents that's in the offline website screenshots. It's one of seven.)


Okay, here is all the art featured for the game by our three talented artists. SK and I are very fortunate to have them do work for us and I'm glad to show it off. All the images here are at a much smaller resolution. When the game releases, it will come with

I'll even be putting up a preview of the ad that will be present in the Megazine.

It'd be cool to get some of this stuff in the download of the final game, similiar to Usuru.

I have some other images I've never bothered to upload before... Maybe I should add those. I mean, anything here you can just right click and save, right?

*points at sig*

Also, I'm going to be working on a video for Arc Arath. I say it here so I can't back out it for whatever reason. I've been meaning to for a while now, so I'm going to try and actually sit down and do it.

All I need now is a good screen recorder...

The artwork is awesome.

EDIT: Not that the game doesn't look good too.

I hope that works better for you than it does for me. Seems in my case, mentioning stuff actually delays me from doing it.

Nah, I'm pretty sure I'm going through with it. I want to make at least two. I've already got all the software I need... took a bit to get it too. So it would be a total waste to not do anything with it.

I won't be able to actually work on it till SK gets back in town though.

I'm sorry, but such spells are countered due to sigs that are aligned to the right...

Anyway, before I make anything... I'm going to mess around first with an AMV or two to try and get a feel for video editing.

I just realized something. Don't know if you've already caught it, but there's nothing to stop the player from walking onto the water in the lilypad screenshot. Water tiles can be walked on, if they're not the water's edge tiles. I recommend either using the water wallpaper (#5) instead, or lining the lilypads with the water's edge tiles.

Nah... I went the long way around that. You can very well walk off the pads. But doing so will fade out the screen only to hear a splashing noise... you fade back in at the entrance with less HP.

I've finally recoreded all the scenes I'm going to be using for the video. And I've got say... while editing videos is fun, recording raw footage is not that fun, nay boring. I was dragging my feet the whole time... in doing so, I ran into a few glitches that weren't there last I checked.

*glares at SK with much intensity*

...

*clears throat*

Anyway, I'm going to be cutting the vid pretty soon. Maybe I'll even be up by next week. I'll post it here in this thread.

Oh my god, this thread is the definite suicide reason for 56k-users. ^^

Hm. Anyway. Nice video, d00d. I just noticed two things:

The music was cool at the beginning and Stuff... but then came that japanese voice crashing down and I was like, 'oh, this is just another one of those japanese female screeching voice musical videos'. Yeah, okay, the music does create a certain atmosphere, but it's like... japanese...
That may be just personal opinion, but I think that video would go better with a 'regular' song. Something less mainstream and more original (yes, japanese AMVs already became mainstream). Again, this might just be me...

And other: "Ah, it's been too long since I've gone on a killing spree..."
That is... seriously comical. Iunno, I don't know the context and More Stuff, but I laughed a lot when I read that and perhaps that's not the intention...

But yeah. Nice vid. Way to go! ^^
