idea for a puzzle platformer i had, where the two main characters have to meet, but if they venture into the other character's color, they die, so they both need to find their way into the purple area by working together.

I think you could really benefit from removing the highlight on your background as well as maybe desaturating and darkening it a bit.

that looks ridiculously better. is it just desaturated colours that make the background stand away from the foreground?
foreground- saturation background- desaturation kinda thing?

Like this: Wow, suddenly looks a lot nicer (no offence to the original author since it's still his/her handywork) but that made a big difference. Not only because you can see the characters but also because it gave the image a lot more depth.

All I did was change the color of the outlines in the backdrop. lol And yes, saturation can help distinguish foreground from background.

alas, this will be hated as it is not cool pixel art. but it IS me trying to learn how to manage better GUI design because I suck at that and yet don't want to hire an artist for it, because artists drive me insane with their not-getting-things-done ways. This is at the moment pure mockup, there's no code done yet. (click for larger)

I don't know if the glowy-ness around the textboxes really suits the very nice crispness of the background (which looks great btw), but overall it's quite cute. Wowowow that's a lot of stats! This appears to be some sort of wizard/witch/magician school? EDIT: Oh, and this: (sorry If I've already posted this here! I can't remember very well...) I am in darkness | disoriented. |

Well, well, well. Working on a sequel/remake already aren't we?

I actually did something similar after I posted that picture. If you work on something without a break it's hard to notice flaws sometimes, I noticed the same thing when I came back to it this morning. I'd probably mess with it more but it was just a silly mockup:

This started out as an addition, but I eventually just redrew everything. Approximately 90 background tiles are used (not including text box stuff), though some of those aren't pictured. (I should probably find a new theme to harass. )

I don't make much mockups because I usually have the code before I do the art (just in case it is not as fun as I thought it might be). But here are some I found on my hard drive, just to add to the fray. OrchardThis is from my concept art work on a commercial casual game, Orchard. The final game didn't look like I what I had in mind visually, but whatever. MafiasoI'm contemplating whether to make this game or not - but that's another question for another day. Basically its a cross between a sidescroller and a gun gallery game - you can take cover behind obstacles like crates or pillars, then peek out and headshot everyone. Resurrection RunJust a zombie top down shooter game I wanted to make a while ago, before I realized there were already 2 million games exactly like it, hmph. Not an original concept anyway, just wanted to shoot zombies badly.

I don't usually make mockups, and even now I got lazy almost as soon I started. Anyway, opinions and tips please. I didn't make the character myself << (and I kinda stole the sign and the crate from somewhere, I'll change those two later).The size reflects what it's going to be in the game itself, I'm starting to think it's too big, any suggestions for the screen size? I didn't get any comments on this, I'm a sad panda ,_,
