Unless I'm mistaken it is one of the shaders that came with DBPro.
Looking nice.

This is looking pretty cool, and the shield is impressive.

I like the new camera angle, and the heads up display is good.

Have you gotten the lamp posts to give off light yet? And how many towns do you plan to make?

Thanks!

Lol, the shield did come with DBPro! but shhhhhh!

These comments really motivate me to keep working lol.

The graphics just look blocky because of the low quality JPEG image

progress made:

The piers now have supports, yay
Shops & Inns are done
Player animation fixed

The dungeons need to be tweaked to deal with the new camera angle though... I was thinking doing them in a platform game style but with depth, like the underground sections of God of Thunder or in Zelda: Link's Awakening where occasionally the game goes platform style. What do you think?

Does anyone a good way to make flames using particles, for the torches?

I think it is a good idea which is why I am doing it in my RPG. I didn't nick your idea though, I have been planning it for ages.
Baggers posted some nice code in DB Pro section but I can't find it at the moment. This looks promising though:

try using "set object smoothing" on your main character (and the npcs if it doesn't slow it down) it doesn't seem to increase the poly count...just smoothify the normals...and could improve the look alot

new screeshots


Some new shubbery and fencing around the shop


The mailbox


The piers are now supported and there are fences to stop the peoples from falling in.


dungeons, the camera reverts back to old style when underground


new inventory, allowing us to select & equip objects, also the EXP bar to the right, when is reaches the top, you get one of your magical items leveled up!


the shop
that spell is expensive!

Looking good, I think you've set the smoothing too high for those models though, try varying it about 50-100 until you get the right balance.

To recive messages from people in other villages of course. And news.

I copied from Zelda

Thanks guys for all your comments!

The boat doesn't really fit the scene, but i'm gonna re-texture it tonight!

In what way do the buildings look blocky? As in, the textures or the modelling? :S

Wind Waker

For example, Gogatex. At a cetain point in the game when I need to inform the player of something to do, I could make a message appear in the mailbox from someone, asking them to come to their village and help them or something. Its v.useful for helping move the story along.

Still having loads of troubles with Collision, which is really holding back the Demo. NGC doesn't seem to caclulate rotated collision properly for me

I felt the buildings looked too blocky in that they really look like blocks. This is the modeling, not the texture. I think if you gave the buildings a more rounded look, that would fix it. I dont mean the buildings should be cylinders, but should look somewhere in between a sphere and a box, closer to a box. However if you improove the textures, you may be able to solve the problem without redoing all the building models. In the town that has lots of grass you could also put a grass texture at the bottom of the biuldings to make them look better as well.

But this is still looking great, and you're progressing so fast that this is the first big rpg made in DBpro that I'm truely almost certain will be finished.

Dear Pricey,
Can't you just tell us when the demo will be released. I am very interested in your game since it looks very promising. Anyway know any good places for 3d character models. Medieval style. (I started an rpg not too long ago and just need to add collision and some more stuff.)
