Pixel Challenge 3: GBC Game!

[action]

I don't know what to do about all the empty space. I'm trying to think of what details to add - I doubt the mushrooms and the yellow things are going to work...

EDIT: Ugh, I just noticed how horrible the palette is... this isn't going to work. Palettes were never my strong suit.

 

[coyotecraft]

I won't spend too long on this.

piggman that looks nice, but the perspective on the cliff is bugging me. The rear corners make it look like there is no elevation. I would suggest you make the actual cliff part go at a downward angle, instead of horizontally.

 

[Perihelion]

Alright, finally getting some time to work on this tonight. Please tell me if I'm doing this the right way, with the contest limitations and all.

WIP:

Er, just so you know, there's no transparency in GBC tiles. Well, you could use sprite palettes if you wanted, but I don't think it's really necessary. Up to you, though.

Coyote, nice start! Abreaction, you have too many colors on those flowers unless you're using sprites instead of tiles.

 

[zchin]

Ahhh, I finished it, but danyo34 pointed out I didn't understand the rules and about every tile has 5-8 colors in it -_- soooo, I'm not going to join or enter anything, maybe nextime...

Thank you and have a nice day...

 

[Luthur]

I won't spend too long on this.

Anyway, everyones is looking good. Shame I didn't read this topic sooner, I was working on a sci fi platform mock up at the exact same time as the first competition was on :P
Good luck everyone.

EDIT: Oh, by the way coyotecraft, the charter stone looks a bit too much like an egg to me. But other than that it looks incredible.

 

[coyotecraft]

Aww, you figured it out. I just finished reading it again last weekend so it was all I could think of doing. I'll try making the stone more cylindrical.

 

[green raven]

Nice stuff everyone. And great challenge peri.


hmm somethin'somethin'. Far from done.

 

[mawk]

looking good, guys! I'm gonna do what I can to avoid sitting on my ass this entire time, too.




this sheet includes blatant self-insertion, although I can't tell if I made my hair and jacket orange by mistake. maybe being colourblind wasn't the best decision I ever made.

not a whole lot done yet. basic linework and some character sprites. I'm going for something that more or less approximates HUB Mall at the U of A.

specifically, the Cookies by George. my biggest mistake so far is having the shop set into the wall -- oops.

 

[Perihelion]

Nice start, mawk! And that mall is cool.

Also, yeah, the guy is orange. ;(

 

[Perihelion]

I saw this on PJ, and it's cool and relevant, so I thought I'd share!

It is possible to make sprites with more than three colors, btw. It's just that each 8x8 square can have no more than four with transparency.

 

[green raven]

aaahh thereisnocure..always lovely pixels.

my second step.

 

[Tindy]

heeeeyyy I finally have a mockup :D

I didn't do this on a grid, and I did some decorating post-placement, so I need to redo some things. But this is basically what I'm going for, minus some coral and other decor. :D

 

[coyotecraft]

i need to remember to finish mine up before tomorrow.

 

[Tindy]

Yeah, seeing as how I just got to Japan again I don't think I'm gonna have time to finish now. Lame! But at least I got something made this time. Hooray! :D

 

[MicKo]

Okay, here's my attempt for this challenge. :3

Couldn't get that water animation right.

 

[WeebamNa]

Here's what I've managed to put together:



There aren't any sprites because I've just been very busy. I've found out that making good-looking gbc graphics for a full game would be really tough, because I used 8, half of the available palettes for a full game, in this screen alone.

 

[green raven]

very nice stuff so far people .
I won't have the time to finish this or tweak it, so I'm calling this done.

 

[danyo34]

Well, I guess I'm finished. I hope this passes for an inn or something...

 

[coyotecraft]

Dropping this off here. I forgot about the gird when rearranging stuff but it's probably close enough.

I'm getting tired of scenes and tileset. I'd like to do character animation next.
Attacking animation > idle pose. I suppose an explosion would be challenging too.
