Apparatus: A Cyberpunk Game

[Prexus]

I wonder, are the rose colored glasses a representation on her outlook (everything is always great, always.) or simply a design choice? I realize in a lot of the art she has red eyes, which may mean they are just a design choice. Maybe I am thinking too deep here.

How is that tech demo coming along Peri? :cheers:

The glasses are actually red because she's an albino. She wears glasses because her eyes are sensitive to bright light, and they're red to emphasize the albinism, which is kind of A Thing in my world, and she's kind of making a statement (the statement is "fuck you if you don't like albinos").

The tech demo is coming along slowly. I backed up to work on plot and character shit instead. I should probably uh get back on that whole making a demo thing.

That artwork is kick-butt Peri! Makasu is so good! :D

This is all very intriguing and awesome so far.

I can't wait to see how it all works out in the end.

Wish I could say something helpful, but I think everyone has already pointed out what I would say. :/

Okay, this is undergoing some pretty serious concept revision. I don't want to talk too much about it here until I'm positive I actually know what the fuck I'm doing, but I'm posting lots about the development of this game in my subforum. If you want access to my subforum, post here, although I request that you don't ask for access unless you actually intend to leave useful feedback.

On an unrelated note, check this out:

in-game or mockup?

 

[Perihelion]

That was actually put together in RM. I think I'm using RM again because GM is way too annoying for big projects. I'm still working on the tileset and sprites, though.

Also, I'm kind of looking for a scripter to help me with a battle system, so if anyone is interested, please let me know!

even if your gameplay and story sucks ass I'd still play it for the pixelly goodness :heart: :heart:

though I hope the gameplay and story don't suck ass :W

 

[Perihelion]

Okay, it's done, I think.

I hope so too, Mirku!

I :heart: the ambience, the way that one light flickers, how the light around that machine grows as he floats. Is that some kind of healing machine? The assymetry in tile placing makes the place feel all the more real as well. The floating animation looks a bit too exaggerated though, it's almost as he's humping the water/fluid. Also when the character lifts up her glasses, shouldn't they change to a darker color instead of a lighter? It looks a bit weird to me. Could be wrong though, it's happened before. :W

Keep up the good work!

Wow, this looks really good! I really like the artwork. Do you have anymore screenshots of maps or anything? It's great to see someone else attempting a cyberpunk game, there are too few of them around, professional or not!

 

[Perihelion]

Nah, it's slow going since I'm doing all the graphics myself. Rest assured I'll post here when I do more art.
