I like it. I do have some suggestions though...

I think the deck of the boat looks good, but the shape of the hull should be smoother. It does kinda look like it's melting.

On the starboard side of the boat, your walls have no thickness. Add thick edges like you see on the port (near) side of the boat.

There's no steering wheel on the boat... if the "house" part is supposed to be the wheelhouse/control room, add a window on the front so the pilot can see out.

The hull board pattern doesn't line up above and below the waterline. If you did this on purpose to make it look realistic, like the water is refracting the light, don't. Some realistic touches don't work with graphics like this.

I don't like the small plants on the beach. Round the bottom more so it doesn't look so flat, and shade the sides so it looks cylindrical.

I give it 7/10. As for the people who complain that it's a GK clone... well, why not? Many of us think that GK is the greatest thing that ever happened to Graal. If it works, use it. If it works and you can't use it, copy it.

Well Archaic is somewhat nice...even though I got fired for being me? Bloo Kat didnt like me so he fired me...erm anyways

Attached is a screen shot with a few things I found could be better.

1) I hope this building gets fixed? Barrells on the houses? err...right
2) All the buildings on the island so far look the same =/ I hope that changes, also maybe add some windows to them or even othergrowth
3) The roof on them near the top should still be overlapped like how it is at the bottom.
4) Make different building sizes...yes i know these are images but still you could make some with a greater width than the current buildings.
5) The tree... =/ Maybe add some roots sticking out cause the base of the tree is erm...interesting..

Yea Archaic might make it but they might not ever be great because all they do is hire staff of other servers... and give out rc like candy
(They have like 7 guests with RC)
-Ningnong works there
-Chrisz works there
-Alexander works there
-Yes I forget who else.

Anyways good luck

i live on cape cod and we have some pirate wrecks off the cost and a few i've seen (plus we have a bunch of boats) #1) all boats from that error had gaurd rails on the sides #2) also the cabin would spread usually either from the direct center or it was at the back of the boat and the stearing wheel cas on top of it and the cabin streatched the width of the ship also they would usually feature life boats in the center of the ships tied down with a tarp over them (which was bound with ropes to the deck). i think every thing else got covered XD

Well it IS the begginner island.. It's not like we're sticking the whole server on there you know >.o

That... I completely fricking agree with... And if the owner(s) Don't QUIT doing that I'll just drop the project.

I hate logging on and seeing two-five more guests who just act like complete children in the RC and do nothing to help the project what-so-ever

*Shrugs* Ehh.. People find it easier to believe that everything is stolen rather then people can actually make things now-a-days.

Yes I'm aware of that... In actuality the scripters have yet to DO anything with the boat.. So if you could swim you would just go right over it Lol...

Would you rather I just make the bottom of it bright frickin' blue like G2k2 did?

On a side note however...

I fail to see how LAT Problems, Over-Hirings and things of that nature relate to an opinion on the GFX O_o...


P.S. Is it, or is it not true DarkVillin.. That you have before.. Wiped 2 servers clean?

Maybe that was the reason.

Oh, so it's supposed to look like crap? Okay.
If that screenshot does "suck", then say why. Or, make better.

I have NEVER I will repeat I have NEVER any server clean...You've gotta be nuts...I'd like to know who told you this false information x.x Because out of working on the servers:
Graal 3000 Graal2001 Graal Kingdoms
Delteria Babylon Era
Sanstrata XOne Doragon Koden
Shaded Legend Maloria Bravo Online
Faheria Enigma Tritan
I have never done a server whipe...In fact whenever I quit my job on a server I leave my stuff, If I ever even got fired I would still leave my work. Its childish like, if you want your work back after using them to help the server. So please try to get your facts straight before assuming such rumors.
Thanks.

Yeah, it's supposed to look like crap. It was smooth when it was bigger, but I had to make it smaller for Listen-To.com to accept it, and it became all scrunched up. Here is the original image...attached

And that boat is just...uhh...it looks like something straight out of a toliet (it looks like a giant turd)


The "sail" looks like bird crap on paper

There are too many servers like "OMG LETZ HAV A HELTH BAR OV3R TEH HED!!!"

That "little tree" plant or whatever looks like a burned barrel with marijuana growing out of it

The birds look like a baseball where the covering came off after it got hit too hard

How are people supposed to steer that boat?

And last but not least...this is one of Graal Kingdoms' biggest problems...why the hell is there a tree in sand? It doesn't even look like it's in the sand, it's just....there...

Yes I totally agree with scott here...That is just really lame to say it sucks when yet there is art work and things that could make it better. You want to help, not put em down so he will not make anymore stuff...

Honestly I think it looks great. The gfx might ressemble GK but I'm sure the plot won't.
