Yeah, it's all in the early stages, I'll do some more design work and then start a devlog. Just for the extra humiliation when cancel it in the end

A Zelda-Clone mockup. 16x16px tiles

I've said this in the past but dude, you have acquired some sick pixel art skills since there was a caveman.

[Rat Casket]

[MYavuz]

.wow.

[SolarLune]

Yeah, really nice. Love that reflection on the street.

[Diejay]

Small test how 8x8 px (or 16x16 px) tiles in combination with 16:9 aspect ratio could work.

Well isn't that utterly adorable

[Atnas]

These two are rough and WIP in places, but:


I made this mockup a few months back, but decided that I didn't have the time to make a zelda-like in my spare time.


So then I made this mockup because platformers are easier to handle, right? but then scope also creeped, and so now I need to make another mockup -__-

Maybe an arcade game mockup next! And then I'll revisit these. They suffer from the usual "i looked at games and not life as a kid so i dont know how to symbolize reality in a game space" There's a reason there was hidden magic in those 80s and 90s games, i think, and it might have been because the people making them weren't second hand sponges like anyone today is.

Mockup for a low-res platformer I want to make eventually. Your dragon girlfriend gets kidnapped by an evil carpenter and you have to work your way through a metroid-like world to save her.

Working on transition location (in middle) for "Pocket Kingdom".

can I play the girl friend instead?

[Armageddon]

Considering making a Dark Souls meets Hitman GO with procedural dungeons for mobile. I guess turn-based Dark Souls would be lame though. Plus being mobile I probably wouldn't have side/loot rooms like The Binding of Isaac.

[Damian]

Atnas, those are pretty damn awesome. I really wish they were games.

Everyone else, great as always.

[SolarLune]

Yeah, dude, Atnas and 08, excellent work!

[Xárene]

Haven't totally figured out the trees yet...

The trees are strange but very beautiful!

That's... a pretty good idea actually! It wouldn't hurt to have a female protagonist for once.

[gimymblert]

She is also more readable above the background lol

[aamatniekss]

Realized I havent made a 8x8px tileset yet. So I had to do one.


EDIT:Well, I had to make a 4x4 tileset too lol

[DragonDePlatino]

Mockup for a sidescrolling turn-based roguelike. WIP title is SideHack because I'm terribly uncreative.



I'm not sure how to fill up the background with more details while keeping things reasonable to procedurally-generate. I want my castle tileset to feel "lived in" but it's not quite there yet. The palette's also gone through a million different iterations and I can't find anything I'm satisfied with.

[Shirsh]

I'm not sure how to fill up the background with more details while keeping things reasonable to procedurally-generate.

What about a static-ish background-landscape that will be seen through the windows? And with windows preferred to be be generated closer to ceilings?
and yeah, "Please say this is going to be a game"!

[DragonDePlatino]

Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably be adding a parallax background and playing with the windows later.

Alternatively, I might throw out the entire mockup and go with something like this. Reading Atnas' post (fantastic art, by the way) I think I need to start looking more to reality instead of using mockups and tilesets as references. Maybe that'll help me come up with something I'm satisfied with.
