Holy crap, that battle backdrop. The foreground silhouette of the machinery is blowing my mind right now. Thanks, glad you like it. It's definitely a mix between inspirations from Yoshitaka Amano, and Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. It was actually pretty easy to do since it's only two colours....

Suggestions? Also check out my site, I've don...

I was wondering if anyone could review this mockup Artist Release Form I have made for the Pixel Art book. Let me know if I'm missing anything, if there's spelling mistakes, etc... Artist Release Form - Pixel Art Book I, _______________________, hereby allow my submitted artwork to be displayed, and...

A Grid of Many Pixels Expressions in Rectangular Pointillism Many Bright Square Dots Through Rectangular Eyes Fewer Bits, More Love I don't know I am just making these up off the top of my head :) Oh! Also wanted to know what the shape of the book will be? Will it have a typical paperback novel's a...

For everyone who is taking part in creating the Pixel Art Book, I would like to get some suggestions on what the book's Title should be. I just realized I'd have to give the book a definite title before I can proceed with creating the "release document" to send to each artist. I'm thinking...

Hey everyone! Just checking in again. I know a lot of you are making good progress and it seems everything is on track. Some of you have not even responded to my posts or PM's yet though. There's not much more I can do asides from hope that you are working towards submitting something by the end of ...

Two completely separate questions. 1. One is the backdrop that u need to import using a specific bitmap format. I have tried a bunch of different ways to try to upload a basic pic for the intro game screen as well as a backdrop for battle scenes. What program should I use to save it to the right fo...

I'm doing 4 right?

Sounds good. Yep 4-6 peices of art is what I was hoping for from everyone, so 4 is good.

Nice!

@Foxley: In regards to what was said about dead-ends, and the players expectation of treasure. I personally think the best way to resolve this problem in my own game is making all the dead-ends have no treasure, this is because I never want my player to feel like they must traverse down every knook ...

Having actually just tried it, I now realise that the hero sprites are immediately reverted as soon as you move a hero from one slot to another, which looks very bad. So you might want to change the heroes back to regular walkabout sprites (if you have any!) before entering Order/Team. Alternativel...

Hey just checking in to see how everyones doing?

@marionline: I'm really liking all of your graphics for this one, especially the player sprites, and simple graphics. I think the text boxes stand out though, you may want to consider picking a box colour which fits in with the rest of your colour choices. Perhaps do customized box border too! Looks...

Regarding what was said earlier about supporting 8 or more enemies in the future, I also think it would be cool to have a bitset which makes the enemies join in to formation once an "on screen enemy" is killed. Kind of like in earthbound when you fight a hoard of enemies, you can only see ...
