Sorry I have a story planned, as far as the basic plot goes. Thank you though. I am also wary of asking people for help with my game, because of royalties and all. The story is kinda confidential at this point, but when I shed a little more light on it I'll let you give me ideas for a name, I can't make any promises of using it, but when I am ready you can give me name ideas, and I might even ask for help with the story, as far as expanding upon it, maybe.

I am working on a 2nd demo, I will post screenshots at the proper time.

Firstly, a quick question, are you going to texture the models at a later stage?

Secondly, the human models are really good, you have the proportions spot on, but I would edit them slightly. It seems that on the legs, it gets fatter at the joints, now this isn't very realistic. I advise changing it so it just narrows down, as it goes down the leg. Also, on the arm, the elbow show stick out slightly firther then the shoulder, or be in-line with it, It shouldn't dip in.

Other then that, I really like the art. I really like your boat. I think the first Screeny of the new version shows the art the best

Yes, all or most of the 2nd demo's models will be textured. And eventually I will update the 1st demo and texture all or most of it's models as well.

Sorry, but no thank you .

I liked your textures when we traded them from before, but I already have them taken care of, to prove it play the latest version of the first demo, pretty much everything is textured, except for a few areas that I thought looked better without textures, and the 2nd demo will be no exception. Though I appreciate all of the help

I would like to see any of your models Ereon. Like in a showcase or your own thread .

By the way, those pictures are already out of date for the 2nd demo, because I have already made changes to the character, that Kiwee suggested, and I also textured the important stuff on the character.

I textured the sailboat boat, added a fishing boat (in the first pic it's the boat on the right), I remodelled the dock (and textured it) and I added moving clouds.

You know, I would love working with you, maybe not for this project for now (I will have to see), but I had this idea for a Medieval Japanese game, about a Samurai who accepts Christ, I was thinking of doing it in 2d, but since Blitz 3d is working out for me really well I might do it in 3d. I am not sure if I will make it or when, but it would be great if you could contribute to it if I get the ball rolling. What do you say?

other than the whole ninja thing

Ninja business was more underhanded, and had little to do with honor. Most "ninja" were employed either as (disguised) bodygaurds or assasins. While Samurai were almost always either bodygaurds or actively part of a military, as far as I know, they didn't get into "assasinations" and sneaky business like that. Ninja were feared by samurai, and suspected to have magical powers, etc. Ninja did their job and ran, often employing tactics some would deam "cowardly" or "dishonorable". (i.e. samurai :-P)

Here are new screens of what I have been working on lately. Wood textures are thanks to Crazyishone, for showing me a great program

Here is the link to the program used:
http://www.spiralgraphics.biz/ww_overview.htm

This house is going to be one of a dwarf village. The particular dwarf I have showed you guys might live in this or one of the houses in the vilage.

Right now these screens are in the 4 fifths, or more, of completion. So some things may be a little different or added by the time I have released the demo Thanks to some brushes I made in photoshop and the new wood texture program, my graphics have improved a great deal.

"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his home." - Ken Olsen,President of Digital Equipment, 1977

In fudal Japan the Samurai could often be quite oppresive and brutal to the common people. The commoners basicly had no rights and a samurai could pretty much kill or abuse them at will.
As a result some groups/families began to train secretly and make weapons secretly. They became the ninja clans. The ninja clans trained to win at any cost. The samurai culture revolved around honor etc, but ninja would take advantage of anything they could in order to win.
Often times the ninja did specialize in stealth and trickery because those things gave them an advantage.. however, the ninja clans did also engage in open battle at times.

In addition to that, it was the culture itself which didn't value human life to a high degree, not just samurai.

just rewriting it:

Once ago, t'was a younge man called with the name of Wearg. He was on his move. Under that stronge hand of arrest for many crimes. So heinous t'was they, that one dare not even spake of them. Abashed he was of them. Condemned to never see the light of his days was he. Yet his future awaits apon him. His destiny is ready.

Kiwi, I pronounce it like wierg, but I am proabably wrong. I got it from old english actually. I should find where I got it and post the proper way to pronouce it.

Here are some more screenshots. If you look at the other pictures you can see that I textured the boat better and that I took Ereon's advice and put the character in a little more of a relaxed position.

This is advice from somebody who couldn't make a 3d human any more than i could a 3d cube.

Either way, the guy looks like he just needs to...exhale. Lets his shoulders "slouch" a litlle bit. Kinda looks like he's standing at attention at the moment, though the hands look alot better.

I have decided to cut some features I was intending to have. Such as animals and dwarves, and a number of other things, mainly because the level of quality I hold myself to that I feel I cannot compete with at this moment. After I texture the lighthouse and make a number of other changes, the Adventure game demo will be released very soon. But of course there are always updates to make to it, post-production, so I can always keep improving upon it and possibly add cut features.

Ok here is a new model for the main character, fully textured. He won't appear in the demos until at least the offical Guardian demo\Adventure Demo 3. Which will have a small amount from the actual game.

As of now this model has 600 more polys than model that is used in the latest Adventure demo pictures:

I have cut alot of features out of the latest Adventure demo, even some that I mentioned recently, which I *hope* to implement in later updates. But right now the package all zipped and everything is 21.3 MB. This is about 7 times as much as the previous demo. Now downloading something this big is a breeze for me, because I have DSL. So here's a question, will this take too long for you guys?
