Reality Factory

Zelda : Ocarina of Time also used background images, similar to the ones you showed (with some 3d effect) I don't kmow how it's done in WinWaker, but i could imagine that it's done similar to Shadow of the Collosus, where they used backgrounds that MELD with the environment to provide photo-realistic landscapes in the game!!!

Thanks, guys!!

I took an actual photo that pretty much matched what I wanted the land outside the opening to look like, then made a TGA file that excluded the sky, so you would see my skybox above it.

I got the logo uploaded!! Ripway is a good site, but they've redone the site, and it seems to limited how soon you can upload another image. You can do six at a time, but I didn't have this one ready yet when I did the first one. No biggie.

WOW,that's even better!

Thanks MH!

Yep, it's a wall decal. I just made a black background, used freehand select with feathering, filled it with white for the alpha, then filled it with stone texture for the main bitmap.

Beginnings of my HUD. Health indicator:

Ehm, a wizard hat as a health bar? Isn't that a bit childish?

Whoa that looks cool! ... Just wondering... To increase your maximal health attribute, do you have to collect wizard hats?

cool game, and the hud looks awesome

Childish. Creative. I suppose the line could become blurred. No more childish, I'd say, than a game about wizards in the first place.

Thanks guys!

Original Health Bar, I like it I don't know about what the game will be like, but maybe it's a bit too green, unless there are alot of magical lightning effects, then it might be a good color. Keep on the Good Work!

It's not easy being green. Thanks, Matte!

lol. That reminds me of when I used to play Harry Potter on my PC. Your health bar looked like a lightning bolt. And the gate looks better btw.
