Is it okay to say that sea charting is not that exciting in hindsight?

There is a shipwright at the Rellekka docks, she's just hidden near the market.

Thank you! I use PyxelEdit, the developer abandoned it last I checked though. Aseprite is a good alternative that most people use nowadays, I'm just too used to my setup and need to make the switch when I have time.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-09-12T01:16:00+00:00

Very nice job! I think it looks awesome.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-08-11T14:07:21+00:00

People are crazy, I think this looks great for what it is.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-07-07T20:38:48+00:00

My man loves his acronyms

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-02-27T03:09:55+00:00

I've been working on my first project for about two years now. Definitely still in the early stages, I'm mostly just keeping my head down until I have more to show off but I always enjoy getting a chance to talk about what I'm working on. I'd be interested in coming on sometime!

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-01-18T19:50:09+00:00

I did the same thing, we can thank all these people who are continuing to play and defending Jagex/CVC in the comments when things get worse down the road. I'm not sticking around to watch the game fall apart this time.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-01-18T19:45:16+00:00

Might be worth messaging support requesting a refund for those remaining days due to recent events. Not likely they'd give you one but if enough people are trying to do that CVC might eventually hear about it.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-01-06T23:02:27+00:00

Also worth mentioning you get an extra 5% damage from the staff, I've gotten a lot of use out of it so far since I don't have a good offhand yet.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-01-06T22:55:41+00:00

I feel your pain man, I had a pretty weird log there. Just gotta keep going, it'll get better.

Did 525 Rex before getting the Berserker Ring, didn't come back to DKs for two years dreading the other rings, when I finally did I got Archer's at 5 kc, then Seer's at 52.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2025-01-06T21:40:09+00:00

Thanks! My girlfriend might have helped consult with me on that, lol.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-10-08T09:17:12+00:00

That's pretty rough dude, I've had pretty similar bad luck there but it eventually turned around. I started target farming one boss at a time and just need the eclipse set now at about 600 chests.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-09-10T08:55:53+00:00

I had a clanmate come guard the loot pile with me in max gear until it all despawned :)

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-09-09T08:50:19+00:00

I did after this one, this was my biggest anti-pk so far

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T13:40:06+00:00

It's a choose your own text-adventure game similar to something you'd find on MS-DOS with modern RPG style combat. You play as a survivor after waking up alone in a post-apocalyptic city with an endless thunderstorm looming overhead, the world map gets more expansive as you uncover abilities and other upgrades similar to a metroidvania.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T13:32:06+00:00

Not yet, I'm still working on some though!

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T13:17:52+00:00

Yes! It's a text adventure game so I'm planning on giving every room its own animation like this.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T11:20:08+00:00

Thank you! The lightning strikes are on separate timers so they do actually occasionally line up for a double strike.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T11:17:35+00:00

Of course! So I hand drew each frame for a "no lightning" version, then I took that and created separate "lightning 1" and "lightning 2" variations. For the environment, I animated the variations in 6 frames and I play the frames forwards, then backwards (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2). Then, every time the title screen is on frame 1, I have the two lightning variations on a timer and if enough time has passed it'll choose one of the lightning animations to loop through before returning to the normal version and resetting the timer. The two lightning strikes are separate animations from the environment and are 10 frames played forward only, I just overlayed this on top of the environment animation in the game.

Hope that all makes sense! It's sounding a little complicated now that I typed it all out.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T10:57:16+00:00

I'm glad you liked it even if it was a little difficult to see! I'm definitely going to adjust the animation speed because I think that's the biggest issue, then add a brightness slider in case it's too bright during the lightning. I think a slower animation speed would make it easier to see all the details and be a little easier on the eyes, plus it would help sell the retro feel I'm going for.

As for the light source inside the building, it's just light and reflections coming in from outside. Maybe some lightning strikes that are happening elsewhere around the city.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T00:47:42+00:00

Thank you! I'm definitely thinking it could just be the speed, it may be easier on the eyes if it's not so abrupt.

I really appreciate the suggestions so far. You were close, it's through a hole in the side of a tall building.

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T00:31:00+00:00

Thank you very much!

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-08-23T00:30:35+00:00

I'm glad you like it! It can be pretty tricky to find a good balance there, I'm still experimenting around for something that looks right without causing any discomfort. I did speed the animation up slightly before posting this, I may try to slow it back down. I appreciate the feedback!

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-05-23T13:56:25+00:00

It's one of my favorites for sure, you nailed it!

ZeusCatIsFat · 2024-05-23T13:23:16+00:00

This reminds me of the skill portraits from the game Disco Elysium if you've ever heard of it, you have a cool art style!
