WIP New Game Hero

[JD_Slasha]

Welp I have the beginnings of a new side game planned (seperate from my main game Chasing Citsuaki) and I wanted to know what everyone thought...

This is the main character of the game and I have the front walking animation finished... there's two differen versions... one without a dark outline and one with... I'm kinda' leaning towards the outlined version; what do you guys think?

Non-Outlined

Outlined

 

[Balore]

Hey, that's looking pretty sweet! Reminds me of something I can't quite place my finger on...hmmm....

 

[g_man_450]

That does look nice. I would say that it depends on the tilesets as to whether you use the outlined or not.

 

[JD_Slasha]

Well if I were to go with the outlined version, I would outline the tilesets as well to match.

 

[Balore]

I think the non-outlined version is much better. Seems to be more......real.

 

[JD_Slasha]

Well here's a test map with an outlined tileset.. Also posted in the Screenshot Thread..

[Tohsaka]

I say...non-outlined.

 

[Shifter]

Love the style

 

[Chaosg1]

Love the style

I second that, Go with outlined it makes your game be In a diferente style, A great Style.

 

[JD_Slasha]

^_^;;; well that makes two for two.... I think I may go with it....

 

[Chaosg1]

This style Reminds me Dragon Ball - Lost Century, A 2k3 project That I found, And I must say that it gives a certain deep to the character making him stand out from the background! And it goes very well with your Battlers/ArtWork (Your sig and Avatar)

 

[JD_Slasha]

Hmm never heard of it.. perhaps I'll look it up.... thanks for the input there Chaos!... Motivates me to keep working on stuff ya know?

 

[g_man_450]

I like the outlined. I think the style looks great.

 

[Jstreet]

I hope your venturing off into all these different projects isn't hindering the progress of CC.

I like the style and I like the sprite even more. Keep up the good work. 10/10

Nah, I just needed a quick break from Chasing Citsuaki for a little bit... this'll be my official side project titled "Sensei"... kind of like Master of the Wind, this'll be split into different parts (probably five) I'll make a topic about it as soon as I get more progress... as for CC I'm so close to a demo, but little things keep making me redo sprites, etc... anyways no worries I'll be working on both =D

 

[Despain v.1]

Oh PLEASE, PLEASE don't call it "sensei" or base it in Japan at all. Chasing Cituzaki looks decent, but I do not want JAPANOVERFLOW from someone who's actually good at this stuff.

As for the sprite- he looks kick ass except for the hair, which sucks and sticks out like a sore thumb.

Is that Kaeur's template?

 

[Diddle]

OUTLINED STYLE, or i'll kill you

 

[RavenTDA]

Hmm I guess I'm the only one who doesn't like the outlined version. I feel that it makes the sprite seem to "busy" if you know what I mean. Like it just seems to much for me.

And somehow I feel like everyone is saying go do outlined because it's differnt. Well I dunno I like outlined things sometimes too but that screenshot you have there not everything looks right. Like that clump of rocks just seem terrible looking to me.

Anyways glad to see you trying a new style. The sprite seems a little more crisp and bold to me as compared to before. Both are very nice but I seem to prefer your old ways better. The older way you sprite things seemed so nice because it was compleatly differnt as compared to this one now seems closer to the more "traditional" methood.

It would be nice to see a side by side screen shot of both the outlined and non-outlined version of each seeing as you only put the outlined one in the screenshot.

 

[Despain v.1]

Well I dunno I like outlined things sometimes too but that screenshot you have there not everything looks right. Like that clump of rocks just seem terrible looking to me.

Yeah- while I do like the sprite, the tileset has some serious flaws. Try using your style with your sprites but use the original tilesets.

 

[JD_Slasha]

@Despain- lol, alright alright I see your point, I'll lay off the Japanization for this project--- ::thinks of names::

@Diddle- O_O

@Raven- How's this? =D
