Hey, all.

I'm Thutmose, principally an XP user; though it's been a while since I've dusted off my copy. I fled RMXP.org during the... unpleasantness - and I've been a refugee since.

For a couple years I was director of an RMXP project, which, like so many others, was ultimately not meant to be. My team never actually got around to using XP as we focused on developing the world and story first (we got a lot of writing and concept artwork done, and were developing a respectable project wiki, not that it matters since the project died :p). So I haven't touched XP since I moved from working on my own game to this larger project some years ago.

I never got very good at the "making the game" part, myself (it might have something to do with the whole "not touching RMXP for several years" thing, but I can't be sure). Mainly I what I would do is take the default resources of XP and make graphical modifications to them; give them a bit of new life. I did some animations too (explosions and particle effects, mostly). You can see some of my work below (which I dug out of my old back-up files and placed on my web-server just for you, though a lot of stuff has gone to the big hard drive in the sky). Needless to say, after all this time, I'm a bit rusty.

Well, here I am. Hoping that I can help out a bit if purpose can be found for me here.

Animated GIF Previews:

Compressed Files:

There are also various tileset and autotile expansions in these zipped folders as well. The Sand expansion adds "waterfalls" made of sand, whirlpools of sand, and rivers of cotton candy... I mean, sand. I've lost the animated preview GIFs for the sand expansion, though.

Note: Some of the animations are in characterset format. They're meant to be used on maps for cut-scenes or set as static animated events for ambiance (like the pulsating pus bubble thing).

Thanks for the compliments. I'll have to get all my old files out of back-up and start working on some new stuff.
