And it looks like the mountain is just a missing piece in a backdrop.

This made me think, maybe you could incorporate a theatrical motif in the gameplay somehow. Like a game where you play as some poor guy managing the props while the narrator gives you cues for what you need to do. If and when you fuck up somehow, it affects the story and forces the narrator to improvise. I guess the goal would be to keep the viewers amused, otherwise you'll get a game over screen with tomatoes raining at the stage.

I think you should take out the planes shadow, nothing else has it and it would blend more in my opinion. Nice work though

I never saw it like a shadow to begin with, I just saw it as a second "slice" of plane, and I kinda liked it.

It's like your rabbit's scarf.
I didn't see it as teeth until someone mentioned it as teeth.

This is what I was going for.

This a mockup for an adventure game where you have to build a tower. The main challenge is to balance your emotions to overcome all the doubts and downturns. I wold like it to be driven by the script. For example you need to gather resources to build the tower but the mechanics to do so is not just to click in the trees or the stones. You have to deal through dialogues with NPC.

 I guess this game would suck because it is about my own experiences with people... And I suck with people.

Interesting idea, but I already have the mechanics and theme pretty well laid out. This sounds like a solid idea on it's own though.

Ah, that's great then. Thought it was one of those abstract mockups that only exist to demonstrate a graphical style. I can't help brainstorming some gameplay ideas whenever I see those.

Sorry for poisoning how it reads y'all.

@solkar I like the little icons, can't say I've ever seen a "self-dialogue" choice system before.
Could be neat.

My first attempt at making any sort of visual art in the last couple of years, so please be kind

@dspencer Cool. The vastness of the space and the tiny creatures makes me think of Knytt.

Old

/\ Click for bigger.
New

/\ Click for 2x.

Small, but slick. Nice style - real cool.

I like the new version, but the color choices could be improved. The dirt and grass is too light, to me.

[solkar]

@dspencer those clear peaks in the background are too... clear. I would change them to a darker tone.

Its at original gameboy restrictions that's why its so small.
