[Animera] & [Dblttu] - 2 Projects showoff

[Animera]

Projects: Animera & Dragonball legacy trough the universe.

Hey folks!,
This is my first thread in mapping showoff (except for bikinibottom).
Soon i might be away for a while for like 2 to 18 months? But i just want to say with this thread that i am not dead neither that i quit.
This showoff of mine projects in silence are the proof that i haven't gave up! The screenshots of Animera is just a small tease of maps, haven't put the monsters inside yet because i have to script all the custom monsters except the default like sheep and such(around 80% done). However i have to put it in the editor yet. This ain't everything got more maps and sprites but they aren't ready for showoff. Both are solo projects by me and only me for a few years.

Projects information:

Animera [Custom client / Tibia-rpg].

• Bigger map(Full custom from scratch).
  [*]New creatures & bosses(All custom).
  [*]Custom spells & vocations.
  [*]New items (Weapons, Equipment, Tools etc.)
  [*]No donation items, just premium area.
  [*]No bot allowed, just team work and social network.
  

Animera started a few years ago as a evolution server like the old schools, However people started using also evolutions nowadays wich kinda ruins it for me, I've tried to combine fun and rpg with lot of quests, bosses and team work to keep the motivation and fun inside, After it went online with low to zero peoples and i had a very hard/busy time in real life that i had to hear from my real life friend that its closed. I felt kinda sad but it was never a reason to quit for me.

I like mapping and tibia so as long i use it as hobby why not use it all for my project? Now i am trying to keep it more RPG but try to remove the boring moments. Vocations, Creatures, Spells, Weapons, Equipment, Misc items etc. are all customized to give you a new feeling wich you have to discover on your own without spoilers and such, Also the donation items are gone only premium area. combining the old tibia times/sprites with the new ones and put my ideas in wich i like what would make tibia awesome.

This project now exists for 3 years and even after several map losses(Not all but some pieces wich took me days) and a failed server online i haven't gave up!

For those who don't know what Animera is: [*]&[*]&[*].

Dragonball legacy trough the universe [Custom client / Dbz-rpg].

• Selfmade sprites(Shaded, 2D!)
  [*]Very different gameplay with other servers(More DBZ!, Less TIBIA).
  [*]Different skills then the default dbz servers.
  [*]More hand on hand combat then 'just target'
  [*]No donation items, just premium area.

Dblttu the name of it was an idea of my friend i loved it when i've heard it after playing dbl(Full of pl's, Low English support, Lags, PA, some issues) I've learned that dragonball z(Best anime ever) also was possible to create out of tibia.

Made several projects wich i've never finished but collected it even though my mapping and scripting skills were very worse i never gave up. As big fan of tibia i would make this OT more DBZ then tibia wich will gives the gameplay very different from any other dbz servers with ripped of 1d gameboy sprites. Lucky me i've had some spriting experience with fakemons (Hacking pokemon roms in the older days). This project is even older then Animera and has been online like 2 times for me and my real friends as WAR server and just RPG.

This goes deeper then just ki based skill, strenght, transformations, attack speed and that things here we have more advanced hand on hand combat and different skills wich makes each race different in a way. Not just target and spam strongest spell. Strategy, timing, Combo's we all need it. And before it ever goes online i have to be 200% sure nobody can rip off my sprites because it takes hell of a time only the oozaru front side took me a week(without the head!). Let alone 11 other sprites for 1 outfit and vocations + transformations and creatures and items etc. Teleporting, Smash someone away, Rush with high speed everything you can think of like the dbz series. I've mentioned earlier sometimes in the forums that i worked on it but it was on silence but i thought why not let the community know what i am working on.

I won't spoil yet the new things in Animera or Dblttu just because i hate it when i see someone else stolen it.
I hope you enjoyed the screenshots and enjoy mine server when it ever comes online.
Do not expect to it comes any soon online as i said before i might be gone for a long while and i need to map dblttu a lot and spriting also.. same for Animera except its around 75% done i guess.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, If you have any ideas PM me, If you have constructive criticism you're welcome.

Kind regards,

(way 2 much) LAGmacun.

Some screens look very good, but in general I get a feeling that something is missing.
If it's for an oldschool server then I'll say: good work!

Otherwise; I'd say figure out what's missing, some details only.

 

[Peroxide]

I don't really like it, don't like the way you laid out the screen shots either

 

[Cornex]

Didn't like it, sorry..

Feels so Standard

 

[Animera]

I don't really like it, don't like the way you laid out the screen shots either

Somehow i agree on this, It misses monster files and a bit details wich makes it looks empty also its i wanted to make ingame screens for a good view
But i haven't much time anymore and it still need to fix things for it. So i made fast some screenshots together to atleast share something

 

[poopsiedoodle]

No. Bad.

 

[Animera]

bump i will be gone in a few days so now im possible to answer..

 

[Andy Man]

I don't like it, some of the stuff your using don't fit together, ain't like the bordering, too empty.

 

[Animera]

Thanks for you answer but, Can you atleast tell me what doesn't fit together and what could be better and how?
Would be more usefull for me..

 

[Delita Hyral]

It's not bad, just too clean.. mostly all pics seems missing something as Pero already said.

 

[Animera]

i might do something against it hate the spammed maps i try to keep a balance soemwhere between clean and the new map shit even though it too clean
it might be because of my other half of my brain it contains a whole other life..

 

[Andy Man]

The nature doesn't look natural it looks unnatural, some screenshots are to spammed, and the other don't look clean they just look empty.

 

[Animera]

wich looks spammed? and why it looks un natural

 

[Blackstone]

Loled. They are not spammed at all. I especially liked the cave or lava things. Didn't like the nature in "normal" areas. But I think it's pretty fine except that aspect.

 

[Animera]

thanks maybe any thing i could do better?

 

[no1]

Lolled because of fammily guy consuella, so here's my advice:
try not using autoborder in some places, work with raw, for now it can be easily recognised as autobordered... Also work with shapes, look on others' works and therfore get inspired, an after that it's all about detailing this empty areas... (at least a little, please...)

 

[Animera]

@up thanks i will work on it also keep in mind it makes also looks more emptier without the monster spawns or dead corpses while hunting..
But one thing: I NEVER USE AUTOBORDER, Its annoying and it sucks (on simone as far as i know).. Maybe mine style looks autobordered but even when my first days as newbie mapper i haven't used it! I feel kinda offended by that..

 

[no1]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with using autoborder, personally I do when making a simpler pieces cuz it's alot faster, but the main thing is to randomize border line, use different kind of borders, experiment etc etc

And yeah, I kept in mind that all garbage that players will bring, but still it needs detailing (how much of it - it's up to you)

Down: Oh gosh...

 

[Animera]

Well i think you are a great mapper, but i hate auto border so much i just can't describe it (I've seen some nice AB maps, but those are fixed up afterwards)
I experiment sometimes with making corners with just 2 straight grass borders for example instead of the diagonal one or the one with the lava river as you saw on screen the cave border and the lava border but i barely combine for example white wand with grass above of it or thick with small borders.. I keep it simple but good also i don't have a mouse, i use this:

so if you believe there is a hell for mappers, go PRAY!

Then i try to add more details to it

 

[Snuggles]

When I map with the finger pad on my laptop I get so frustrated I almost go berserk on my computer, I can't imagine mapping with that little thing there ROFL! kudos!
