and yea, i think the blood dragon guy is a collection of old
80s and 90s movie characters, and this is right along that genre.

oooh nice! i love zee goggles @3@
and yeah, delicious delicious terminator references @3@
the game looks very final-fantasy esque, what era was it from~? :o

it was 1993 when it was made,
but the franchise i think was in the early 80s.

i shall acquire this game! :3

Gawd! I remember playing this game! Back when there were no such thing as walk-thrus and you had to actually call the Nintendo Power help line for game assistance ... lol

lol,
yea this is a game that doesn't
seem to be well appreciated until it's well aged.

I would've hated this when I were younger.

Oh man, that was such a fun game, too bad the ending was a little anti-climactic and there were some leveling exploits in the second to last "dungeon".

Not gonna lie, I hated playing this game back in its day while my little brother was addicted. Thougn I still do hum the main street theme every now & then. Oh & I laughed my ass off when I watched him go through that cortex bomb part again & again.

no, i thought about this too,
I need to make water look more "water like".

So the video game , not the tabletop.

correct.

When you're done with that, you're gonna wanna do this... http://harebrained-schemes.com/post.....ns-first-look/

At least, I know I sure as hell do.

I probably will,
especially if it keeps its classic style like the way the video seems to be showing.

From what I've read, that's exactly the style they were going for so you're good in that regards. Also, I'm a huge fan of Shadowrun from its tabletop origins. I wouldn't recommend anything that I didn't think was going to do it justice. ^^

I was there I was there!
It was fun! tell us next time for streaming , I'll sure join ^_^

I have note on the pic, the character shade isn't blended with environment.
Neokat looks brighter than BG.

yea, I really have no idae how to go about fixing that either.
I really suck with colors and backgrounds.

No at all, you can make new layer, use the same BG shade (dark blue) in this case, and start shading Neokat
set transparency to 50% or something depond on the software ya are using.
It will give ya nice fast refelction of shades on character.

If you want to shade every color material, you have to decide the destination of light source first.
Ya might as well need to draw BG before start shading.
Which sometime I keep failing at

hmm,
i wish I understood what you meant.

however i do have the background and neokat on separate layers,
so it would be easy to make a new background, but aside from
that I don't totally follow. I tried putting some darker colors on top
of her, but i can't find a proper way to blend her together.

Make new layer, with color pick tool, pick the perferd shadow from BG, and start coloring one side of her.
Layer has to be above Neokat colors, and below lines, then lower the transparency a little.

Something like this: http://i.imgur.com/vGJSr3W.jpg
Quick coloring on sai.

oh wow,
that is really amazing.
I've never thought to do something like that.

all of my coloring has mostly been out of accident, lol.

but that is really cool, I may continue this image with that method.

lol glad I was some kind of help xD

Heh, a running Shadowkat! :P

Does this mean you're getting the new one coming out in July? I've had mine preordered on steam for a while.

Yay! Shadowrun! I freaking love this setting. I trust you will be playing Shadowrun Returns?

Narcoject is the answer to (almost) every problem.

what is narcoject?

Sleep dart poison in the tabletop version of Shadowrun. Armor-piercing needles. The Shoot Everyone And Sort It Out Later plan is much easier when the shots are reversible.

oh wow,
yea, I only discovered this game a week ago,
I'm learning that it was originally a tabletop game, so this
whole genre is new to me.

really cool, but it seems I've got a lot to learn, lol.

It has an extensive history, yes. All communities are fractal!

Security guards? Narcoject.
Hostage is struggling? Narcoject.
Police arriving? Narcoject.
Your employer is an idiot and endangering you? Narcoject.

Decker Neokat: "lolol I hack you. >:B"

One of my favorite games of all time! I was gong crazy about Shadowrun Returns but, have been really let down as many have with it. :(

oh wow, really?
I was excited to play, I haven't played it yet.
of course I haven't finished the SNES version yet either.
I should eventually.

had some friends do some dialogue with me,
we would read the characters, that first run
was really fun.

if I get a chance I may try and find some more friends to
do some dialog with other RPG games.

glad you dig.
thanks for the comment.

Sure thing. The problem I have with the Returns one, is that they could have been fantastic with it. Instead they make it like a linear game. As in, you go from area to area as if it were a gauntlet and doing the missions, and side missions along the way which don't really give much in setting or story. In my view, it's almost deteriorated to MMO quality quests. (almost)

You can't go back and forth, solve puzzles, the whole talking thing and asking questions isn't really there. They kind of pretend it is by giving you options on what to say but it's all still the same really with minor changes to the game. "oh they'll attack us now" or "oh we can skip this fight and continue down the same path anyway" kind of thing.


It's a shame.

oh wow,
yea that does sound terrible.

I really dug how it was partly an action RPG,
and partly a point and click game, that transferred
rather well to SNES, just hasn't been done well
many other times, Ultima VI on SNES did very poorly.

so to see a PC style game done on a console like that
is quite amazing for the time, yea, that is quite a bit
of shame considering the SNES game is more like a PC
game and the PC game is more like a console game...
how ironic.

Oh my gosh, you had to go and remind me about Ultima VI ~_~ Yeah point and click stuff, which is one reason I was figuring Shadowrun would be ideal on a computer. :3

The point and click parts are fine. The battles are now turn based, which I was HIGHLY skeptical about but meh honestly, as far as I've bothered getting hasn't bothered me. It feels, fine in that world.


But I mean come on, then you start playing and it gets silly right off the bat. You find Armitage and he's 'sleeping' inside a 'chop shop' (I.E. morgue) inside one of those things again. Ohh how the jokes follow. They shoe horned the characters in silly ways. Granted I Love the characters a LOT, they didn't 'feel' like the characters. Nothing more than a shout out. Bleh.

You can name yourself as a Shadowrunner, so I named myself, "White Crystal" thought that kind of fit. I would suggest if you really want the game, get it real cheap or you'll feel slighted. It's.... nostalgic for a little bit, but I haven't touched the game since it came out (after playing it 2 or 3 times) because I went back to the SNES one. xD

yea, I'll probably do the same thing.
I may still enjoy it, I actually like the old one for the silliness,
just because of how dated all the futuristic stuff is,
like dos computers and Cell Phones, you know,
stuff from the future. lol.

but yea, I like the point and click element, I'm a little
upset about that, well I have it and I'll give it a try soon.

Hehe goodluck! ^_^
