Making a walk-cycle for the first time, it turned out pretty ok.
 Something is bothering me but I cant pinpoint what, any suggestions?

So am I the only one who walks like that?

My (very old) pixel art here from my first decent pixel art job:


Not the best ever but I loved it.
It's from an AGB game called Street Jam basketball and it was sadly  a game that copied more or less (ok, TRIED to..) a NEO GEO game called Street Hoop. The story concept was that there was a gang basketball tournament (don't ask why... ) with no rules - you could hit the other players, ball can't go out of the playground and stuff like that.

Any gang had it own style like THE WARRIORS movie - the punks, the clowns, the indians... I used movies reference and other stuff I liked.

Technically the game was very good, with tons of effects and nice details (reflections, rain, animated backgrounds) even if the game play was a bit boring and the in-game sprites animations were for me a bit ugly.

The team select with my pixel-faces has a clever idea with the color palettes: because the AGB couldn't use more then 8 colors for single sprite (if I remember right) we used 2 sprites, one over the other with transparent pixel. The result was that it looked like a single image had more colors.



Btw it was my first AGB game and it was a dream come true, even because I made the cover with no restrictions (only time...) and before that I made only stupid (== shitty  ) promotional games with no fun at all.

This one is from my second (never released) AGB game called RUMBLE2 (first one was for published on the GB color):



I made also all the in-game sprites and I really enjoyed it even if all the work alone was very hard. Sadly another rip-off  , from another NEO GEO game called Windjammers - you sure remember it.
The gameplay was ok but we never found a publisher for it so it was left in a drawer.

HOLY COW, I love it. :D

I guess, I've only seen people do that when they're walking while halfway crouching.

and when they're robots!

Also when walking in deep snow or something

These Muybridge photos are useful if you need a reference for natural motion.

That's really fantastic work, loving the seperation between tiling rocks and edge rocks.





Here, I redid via mockup the HUD and the city level's artstyle.

I completely agree and also your stuff is very very nice!

I first read that as "simple" tile, and I was going to punch you.

But yeah, amazing work.

What program did you use?

[eliasdaler]

Some art progress.

[Kingel]

Thanks, everyone! Glad to hear it.

What program did you use?

Cosmigo Pro Motion. It actually doesn't support tiles this big directly (only up to 64x64 pixels), so each tile is composed of 9 32x32-pixel tiles. Works well enough in this case, though.

I first read that as "simple" tile, and I was going to punch you.

Haha, well, I thought it sounded simple initially (just making ten tiles or something), but this is much more tedious than I thought.



Here's an old test showing how I'll be using the tiles. The next step will be to update the palettes to something a little higher contrast so the front layer can stand out a bit more.

[Ellian]

I was gonna say it's not very readable as it is, but apparently you know that already.
But man this looks amazing. Gorgeous stuff you've got there :D

[JobLeonard]

The next step will be to update the palettes to something a little higher contrast so the front layer can stand out a bit more.

The contrast already has improved a lot compared to your previous stuff here (and IIRC contrast and palette issues were really the only issues your work had to begin with). Got a new screen, or did you find a way to calibrate the old one?
