Mysterious pyre, should have more art to show soon enough.

This intrigues me, very reminiscent of the 2D metroidvanias. What kind of project is this for? Or is it just standalone art? I like this a lot!

[siskavard]

had an idea for some ghost enemies to turn into solid platforms

did not totally steal the idea from Mario World, nope.

[ProgramGamer]

Or Mario VS Donkey Kong.

@Keops
Thank you, it's for a castle/metroidvania type with customization/choice that affects the plot and mechanics. I've been retooling most of the art and theme and we'll be ready to show more at the end of the month.

I just saw it on indie db
you should do something with those character sprites since they are so castlevania recolor its not funny

[unsilentwill]

Unfortunately that's between the designer and the animator at this point, he's rather dead-set on that design. We'll see what can be done.

Painted this mockup for Pocket Kingdom and now can't decide which version to choose:





Guys, which version do you like more?

[coah]

I say top.

Looks amazing as hell.

[diegzumillo]

Looks great! i dont see a lot of difference though, blue and purple aare both cool tones, and both are cool, as in i appreciate both colors.

I like it more too, but the blue sky and castle on bottom pic make me doubt.

And that's the problem, I can't decide. 

[coah]

Been fiddling with this today. Not sure it works yet.

08--n7.r6-79.84: Bottom.. but both look great

coah: Works for me! 

[QOG]

@08--n7.r6-79.84: Castle looks better on the top, midground metal thing looks better at the bottom since there's more hue shift.

This definitely works, just adjust something by 1px so the character's head doesn't match up with the background element. Also might want to adjust the ladder a bit so it looks similarly aged.

like the top more as well but can imagine if you play with the bottom it's going to end even cooler. the purple tone makes it somehow more interesting.

btw, what's up with betelgeuse? havent seen a sign for a while

[SolarLune]

@08 - I guess the purple is slightly more interesting? But I'd push it more toward purple and fade things out stronger to make it a stronger color, I think. Really great art!

@coah - This is really cool, too. Alongside moving the character's head to avoid the tangent problem, I'd make the sky a darker color to make the background blend in with it more, or just make the background lighter to make it a less harsh transition against the sky.

[Shackhal]

Testing the 16-color palette I made.



EDIT: I just improved the image.

[08--n7.r6-79.84]

happymonster, QOG, SolarLune, I tryed to combine both variants:



And I think now it's all done with this location, I have to make game, but not just one mockup.

Yeah, it's because this project is in silent mode of development currently. But I still make it, for example this secret Quake1-like level:

Nothing Special

[Canned Turkey]

Oooh retro
