My background is in fine art printmaking (only made the move to game development just over a year ago) So I'm loving the woodcut inspired art style! Keen to see how this turns out.
If I hadn't started taking printmaking courses during my final years of my undergrad, I would've never started this project. Printmaking is criminally underrated in the art world. Thank you!
I think the added grey improves the contrast greatly, much less harsh on the eyes. I think there's still some issue with picking out the main character and the floating thing from the background elements, as in your last gif. Perhaps it's worth experimenting with a white halo/stroke of a certain thickness around animating objects? It's a difficult line to walk, I know, you want to keep the pure simplicity of black and white, yet also maintain visual interest and visual clarity.
Good point about the outlines, we'll see what we can do! Thank you.
I'm watching this from when you had your first page of comments. Had my fair share of doubts about how this will end up, but ain't gonna lie... you guys seem to pull your weights and eventually deliver some steam worth product.
You have my attention!
Nice and unique aesthetic! I like the spotlight effect and black backgrounds. Makes for a goodbalance between light and dark.
Kinda spoopy? Nay sir, QUITE spoopy. Quite spoopy indeed!
Nice progress just came to say lookin' good.
Thank you so much you guys, means a lot!
Here, have a little sneak peek at some level design stuff, on the house.
