Game and GFX Update (11/05)

[GIAKEN]

i have started to work on the new 100% CUSTOM tiles

done 4 grass tiles completely gridless



wasnt able to finish more because im ill atm =( feeling tired and powerless

but as soon as i get better i will add sand, beach and other basic tiles

Also fixed some bugs with the menu and had another person test it out a little bit ago.

[Forte]

are your sprites gonna be 32x32?

[GIAKEN]

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.

[Forte]

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

[William]

Those sprites are custom made right? If so I suggest you try and make the grass and other major things custom made as well.

[Anthony]

I like it.

I am pretty sure the grass is custom William.

[William]

The grass is not custom made, I've seen it several times. Perhaps edit it just a tiny bit.

[GIAKEN]

"new 100% CUSTOM tiles"

:|

[Labmonkey]

If the grass isn't custom, then it has defiantly been based off something.

[Anthony]

They sort of remind me of Seiken Densetsu 3 grass tiles. They aren't the same though.

[William]

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

[Vans]

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

Not 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.
Old:


New:


That would be my suggestion.

[Vans]

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

[carloso]

the first one looks more cartoony to me. Depends on what kind of look you want, imo.

Yeah, it's up to what kind of feeling they want to the gfx.
