    Re: VB[5,6] DX7 Quest for 3-D [EXE]

    So is that game made with VB or is it made with DirectX? I'm farely new to VB but all I've been interested in is making games, but I didn't realize that you could get that good of graphics using VB. So I am just curious if that is what you used. Really looking forward to more updates.
    You should make a lesson guide for making games so I can learn off of you. My brother has been making me some pictures using Paint and I've started to put them together but Im no where near to what you have accomplished. Yeah so get back to me if you do have a guide or anything like that.
    Thanks

    Its made with Vb + DirectX. DirectX isnt a programming language, its an API, which developers can use ina programmign language (Vb c++ etc) to do additional things. In this case control graphics ahrdware

    Re: about the game's graphics

    Hello this is the graphics designer of "Quest for 3d". In response to StudNewf, yes the graphics were manipulated mostly in paint. However I also used a clever application called SPX Editor that allowed more gama control with the tiles. This is effective so when you create a tile you can fade out the colors and change the resolution-depth. Another good tool to use is Adobe Photoshop. This is probably more recommended for professional artists however. The sprites were images extracted from a google search and then I added additions to create their animation frames. The "green guy" was a graphic built in Microsoft Paint. We are still looking for other artists as well, so please keep us informed and visit the site to submit your resume. - Steve

    I found a little bug. If you walk up into where the water will be in the next frame, you get stuck.
