SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

grindalf- I say a leather cap over spiky hair.

The world needs more leather caps right now

Those are really nice tilesets and maps! My only suggestion is for the forest: I recommend making the canopy tiles different from the floor tiles. As it is, it's overwhelmingly yellow and even looks a bit confusing. I get what you're going for (leaves on the ground) and it's a great idea, but perhaps consider making the ground leaves a darker shade.

Those graphics are super nice.

@Frogge:
Good god black out that canopy you madman

Otherwise lookin' real swell

Good point, I'll definetly do that! I should also add in a few more trees probably. Thanks guys!

Those graphics are super nice.

Thanks Suzy! They're from the Time Fantasy resource pack, though the forest is mostly my own recolors.

@Frogge - love the layout of the cave. Scratch the wip and call it complete.

I can't, it's a little too small so far, and lacking most of what I want in it. There's also supposed to be a whole new segment after you get past those doors the second time you are there. I'm glad you like the layout though!

@Frogge: Looks pretty good, though there is one minor detail that caught my eye:
Those more or less random 3*3 Tile rails in the mine. I'd either get rid of them, or extend them and make the entrances bigger to fit them, cause right now they look somewhat missplaced.

@Topic: Got some shiny new character portraits for cutscenes and the title, credits go to pbjelly246:

Been working on the Fighter Class character. I'm just not sure what to do with his head/hair
Not sure if I should put a leather cap on or just a spiky hairstyle

You could probably cut back on the dither and increase the contrast (go more toward the red end of the slider for the darker hues). Right now the similarity of the tones and the dither make it look pillow shaded.

i gave it a bit of a fiddle so you can see what i mean:



by no means is this perfect (and fiddling is hard when it's upscaled like this) but hopefully you get what I mean.

also you have every right to use all 16 colours but in sprites this size you really don't need to.

Also I made the canopies darker like recommended. Do you guys think this is better?

I'd suggest doing something about that forest's floor. The whole map is just too yellow, it even kind of hurts my eyes staring at the picture. I think adding some sort of brownish path would do some good. You have to add more tonalities. Like, if it's supposed to be a forest during autumn, there should still be some green grass and plants. It just looks too weird having the leafs covering the whole ground and all.

@gsp-Path it is then! Thanks for the feedback.

I personally like it as is, Frogge. It has its own charm and doesn't hurt my eyes at all. (in fact as a side note a lot of things people say are unclear or "hurts their eyes don't affect mine at all, so maybe take that into account)

I figured it wouldn't be too bad on the eye. I can see why it would be if you are zoomed out, but it definetly looks better in-game methinks.

It's an issue I'll try to fix either way. It's a small area so you probably won't have to look at it for long, but I still want the maps to look pleasant.

Good point libs, that defo looks a lot better.

I was using the assets that came with the resource pack itself, except recolored the b tiles to match with the a tiles. Guess I'll recolor all of it now.
