Azure Flames 1 Report post Posted August 4, 2009 Hey all it's MagicKid. :) Do you think maps is a good idea? You can buy them from a cartographer and view them from the items tab in the menu. Post games with that idea in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azure Flames 1 Report post Posted August 5, 2009 You can view maps from the menu on your game and it gives you a picture of a place. And people's cards have information about themself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will say this though. Drawing skills aren't the MOST important thing. I say, that even with really GOOD graphics, and art, if the gameplay, and the storyline, and the general idea of a game isn't entertaining... it won't matter what kind of a label, or image you cut and paste onto the world map. the game itself, if the gameplay sucks, will reduce the quality of the game. Look at text based games, and games of the earlier generations. HECK I was playing super mario brothers 3 on my nes the other day and I noticed that the back ground tiles in the Castle of the second world were GIBBERISH!!! Literally, a repeating texture of gibberish color!! So. no you don't need GOOD drawing skill. But having it doesn't do you any harm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegacyX 4 Report post Posted September 25, 2009 drawing skills aren't too important, as long as you can do simple lines then you can create a decent outline of a map :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
