GM: Illustration, inspiration, motivation

posted on December 16 with 4 responses

When a friend showed me the anime “Fairy Tail” yesterday I was pleasantly surprised. The graphics style in the prologue is exactly what I was looking for as an example for General’s Map! When developing a browser based game all by yourself you need to pay attention to every aspect of the development. Asking others for help is key in making a successful PBBG, telling others what you want is the best way to ask.

Here is a nice screenshot from the anime to illustrate my map.

Update:

Here is another example, which will be very useful for my communication with illustrators. Source: The Settlers, rise of an empire.

    Well, if I was to use graphic materials which are not mine in a pbbg, I would be careful with the Copyright and ask for permission first.

    I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here. It is never my intention to use copyrighted material.

    This screenshot is only an illustration of the graphics style I have in mind. It is important to gather material like this to communicate to your team, especially your graphics designers. On the other hand it just can be inspiring.

    “Telling others what you want is the best way to ask.”, I said in this post. An image says so much more than merely words. That is what this screenshot is about.
