are your sprites gonna be 32x32?
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - GIAKEN - 06-11-2008
Yeah our sprites and tiles are 32x32, but everything else is free form. Our emoticons are 30x40 and the targeting is 32x40 I think...but our sizes for everything but tiles and sprites will be anything.
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - Forte - 06-11-2008
Hm you should consider/test out having sprites and tiles on a smaller scale. Personally i like the smallest it can get, My sprites are 16x32. I think they look the best for the way the characters walk. Less space between characters/tiles = the better
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - William - 06-11-2008
Those sprites are custom made right? If so I suggest you try and make the grass and other major things custom made as well.
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - Anthony - 06-11-2008
I like it.
I am pretty sure the grass is custom William.
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - William - 06-11-2008
The grass is not custom made, I've seen it several times. Perhaps edit it just a tiny bit.

"new 100% CUSTOM tiles"

If the grass isn't custom, then it has defiantly been based off something.
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - Anthony - 06-11-2008
They sort of remind me of Seiken Densetsu 3 grass tiles. They aren't the same though.

Yeah Ive seen that pic too but I was thinking of another. But it doesn't matter, it looks good

I think grass needs to be britgher for a matter of contrast with the chars

Vans Wrote:I think grass needs to be britgher for a matter of contrast with the charsNot nesseccarily. I suggest he doesnt use a black border color on the sprite. Instead make the border color a darker color of the color the border is around.

That would be my suggestion.
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - Vans - 08-11-2008
I dont think the black outline has anything to do with the blend of the grass as long as other objects has the black stroke aswell, dunno, try posting in a pixel art forum, they will sure give you a hand with the graphics
Re: Game and GFX Update (11/05) - carloso - 08-11-2008
the first one looks more cartoony to me. Depends on what kind of look you want, imo.
