The top right monster is completely out of style with the rest.

Also, it bugs me that all the art is so dark - it's really hard to make out a lot of features on some of them.

RE: Pokemon Style Browser MMORPG MonsterMMORPG V2 Started - Bombshell93 - 03-11-2013

I'd hate to pry at this but its such a glaring issue, you really need to standardise the games graphics.
The overworld is pokemon, the monsters are dark final fantasy, the HUD is windows XP, the spew of styles isn't working in its favour.
if you want your game to be taken seriously (I'm betting you do given the effort thats gone into it) then you'll need to go that extra mile.
getting the game too look like a whole as opposed to splices will drag your game away from looking like a cheap fangame. (no offence intended)

you can say time and money are an issue, but clearly your still spending time on the game and you obviously have artists capable and willing, at the very least you can try to get things looking like they belong in this game as opposed to looking like a franken'game.

Too many cool looking Starters. There should be a way to capture the rest in-game, but maybe after you get the rest of the monsters.
BTW, are you looking for ideas for new monsters? I have quite a few.

but i don't have dedicated artists. they are almost all volunteer

sure write all of them here

RE: Pokemon Style Browser MMORPG MonsterMMORPG V2 Started - Bombshell93 - 03-14-2013

mixed design is fine, but mixed style is a problem, you could keep all of your monsters designs but at some point or another it'd be highly recommended to create a criteria for the pallet line art and shading styles. E.G. pokemon sticks to bright colours thin lines, and minor shading

yes but it requires team of artists Smile which costs a lot of money
Nintendo have millions of dollars

RE: Pokemon Style Browser MMORPG MonsterMMORPG V2 Started - Bombshell93 - 03-14-2013

but it doesn't require lots of money, your games content is proof of that, you have a community willing to work on art for you.
I'm not telling you to sit them in a chatroom and tell them they must redo all of their work again and they need to do it by a deadline.
you could easily and politely say,
"so we're cleaning up some graphical aspects of the game to try and get things looking more polished.
all the monsters are looking great but over time we hope to get them looking like members of a single and vast world."
etc. etc.
it would take time and not everything would get done but with a defined style (your best off picking from the works you already have so large chunks of the work will be uneffected and it'll lessen the amount of work this implies)

[Image: 37-Albinus.png][Image: 24-Grasilisk.png][Image: 31-Decesile.png]
all look like their from the same neighbourhood, minimal lines, bold colours, and detailed lighting.

[Image: 54-Tiktik.png][Image: 43-Hawkite.png][Image: 48-Yokelby.png]
these 3 also look like their from the same world (though a different world from the other 3), thick lines, medium detail and lighting focused on the big features. (design to a degree too if you look at the proportions but I think that can be worked around)

anyway long story short, this doesn't have to be a sudden change, it doesn't have to be the work of a team in crunch time, it can simply be a gesture, a suggestion, something that may happen over time when your artists feel like it.

RE: Pokemon Style Browser MMORPG MonsterMMORPG V2 Started - Blob55 - 03-15-2013

How about a Black bird Monster? (Black birds are different from Crows/Ravens/Rooks), as there aren't that many song bird Pokémon and I was hoping you'd have some. There's a few other songbirds I want too, like European Robins (the American Robin is related to Crows), Blue/Great Tits, Wrens and Finches.

nice suggestion

i am planning to hire some cheap monster artists soon

i can tell them to draw Smile
@Bombshell93 i understand you but those are paid artworks and each one i paid 15$
i don't have that much money right now to pay Smile but they worth it definitely - filter by artist and select narsilion
those are paid ones

I've been thinking about it for a while and I decided that it's time to lock up.

While it's a great piece of work you've got here, I still don't see this as anything else but free advertising and I do not think there should be made an exception to the rule just because the advertised product looks interesting. If it was an active community member doing this, it would be more acceptable, but that's not the case since there's nothing being contributed to the community at all besides these adposts. It might also be alright if the topic had a further purpose - getting feedback in order to improve the product - but it's pretty obvious that this, too, does not apply. There's no point in having a topic here to discuss the product as constructive comments are just being shrugged of with how much things would cost (which is an arguable point). I don't see any use in further discussion, I can only see the same points being iterated over and over, draped with special weekend bonus events.

To sum it up, I don't see why this kind of advertising should be allowed.
