Title: Battlethingz / Crypt?
Post by: matlu on May 14, 2005, 05:29:21 PM
I already asked on other part of forum, but I'll re-post here:

Most - if not all - jagex games were just remakes of older, successful games.

Anybody knows, if Battlethingz (and Crypt) was remake of something? I could perhaps make such games (some people request it), but it would be good to see originals (and it would also make me feel safer)


especially Battlethingz sounds a bit "pokemon" to me. Anybody knows some similar (older) game?

!!! Treasure crypt! <3
Battle thingz was cool, but when you began to get high levels, no one would play you.

It doesn't matter of course. Whatever is your favourite. More important is some... artistic skill :)

You know, I'm a programmer, and I'm definitelly not an expert on graphics. I guess 2 best known programms are:
Paint Shop Pro (www.jasc.com - you can download 60 day trial)
Adobe Photoshop (www.adobe.com) - really professional software, very expensive, they probably also have trial

But both of them are quite big and "robust", and may be hard to learn. There are sure MANY simplier programms, but I'm really not an expert, ask Teh Luggage

(and I guess you could also search with google before asking, you would find something yourself)

Although I do use Photoshop 7.0 for all my graphic needs, and it is very usefull for many more complicated things.....I only use some simple tools when I made my attempt at graphics. I used the zoom tool, the pencil set to one pixel, and a color pallate that let me choose shades of colors for shading......all of this is readily available in MS paint, or any simple graphics editing program. Look on www.download.com for a free picture/graphics editor.

Was able to find this, which looks like it might fit your needs(by the description) http://www.download.com/The-GIMP/3000-2192_4-10393528.html?tag=lst-0-25

Just download the trial of Photoshop 7, then go on any Serials site, and get one from there, there are hundreds of them. Then just enter it in Photoshop, and you got yourself a full version.

It is defined just for Cyber Battles. For other games (that I may make later) there are no requirements defined yet.

Crypt was my favourite game from the castle. I have Photoshop 7 and CS and I would be willing to work on graphics for crypt, but the thing is I am not great at making objects from scratch, I am more of an editing kind of guy. If you found some images with no copyright issues that we could use, I could edit it to your liking. On the other hand I could take basic screenshots of low quality character pictures (such as taking a screen of a runescape char from the 4 angles used for crypt) and then design new clothing or armor for it (so it would not even look like an rs char when done, just something to work upon). Bah. I want crypt.

Meh, Crypt never really did anything for me.

Matlu I may not be able to make the graphic design myself but I can help anyone out who needs directions on how the game looked or anything. Like how it was played and what it looked like.  I can lead you in the right direction.

matlu if you need to know how battlethingz operated as far as how the game was played or  little odds and ends about the game i might be able to help.

There is already someone working on crypt.

http://www.fraserking.co.uk/castle-games-domain.htm

It's still a work in progress.  But recently the man behind it has been spending a lot of time on it.
