So far all I've been doing is drawing sprites, and getting started on some animations. Still haven't gotten to the point where I really have any code running, yet.
Here's some sprites, though.
And I made a mockup, with a few different versions. Only thing in the mockup that's actually intended for the game are the character sprites. I mostly did it to test out some different colour palettes.
I like using monochromatic colour palettes, with specific bits of bright colour. I wanted things to have a sort of dirty, dusty look, so I decided to try making things brownscale (instead of greyscale). I think I like the last mockupp best, with the background using a less saturated scale of browns than the characters, and with solid black outlines around the characters to make them stand out even more.
