SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

I only know that that error doesn't occur on Windows 7, and I have had reports of people with Windows 8 being able to play it.

What specs does your Windows 8 have? I mean I have a 250 dollar laptop that is incalculably shitty and it can run on that, though barely.

The intro is an ogv and plays fine on all systems I've seen it play on, sadly this sounds like something I can't do a whole lot about. Is it when you first boot up the game or when you finish the splash cinematic?

I know what the issue is, and it's evidently far more severe in it's effects on Windows 8 than it is on Windows 7.

To better cater to lower-end systems, picture cutscenes were discarded in favor of ogv's that would play default to the engine's behaviour, however-- this is Enterbrain, so of course in completely random scenarios, playing the videos will just crash the program, however, this error is assumed to be rare, just as well.

If you cannot boot it up with any hope of success, I'll look into an ogv free version, though that will take some time.

Erave, I freaking love the way your game is looking.

Whoa.

Everybody pack up your bags, we got some talent up in here.

Decided to create a tileset with only four different shades of purple. It's really simplistic, but I wanted to see how well a tileset with the use of one single colour (purple) can look like. I like purple. Not a single room is done so far, every room still needs final touches. (The kitchen looks weird, I know, but you can actually go into a little room on the left side.)

@Kaelar: Woah... I feel like I just saw true beauty for the first time. Excellent work! How long does it take you, usually, to create one of those fine looking maps?

Those bricks on the ground need some help. For one thing they need to be way closer to each-other in color and brightness.

@Charblar: I think the brick tiles simply have too much detail on them when you consider how closely they're all crammed together. It's creating some banding on the outlines and also giving the sunset version a "magic eye" kind of blurring effect, making it hard to look at.

Perhaps try something like this, with just flats?



Or maybe just remove the highlight, and leave only a soft outline to give them some depth and three dimension-ality?

Generally I try to avoid as much ground detail as possible when I pixel in the style of Brownie Brown's simplistic stuff. I feel like it helps the characters and other solid objects pop off the screen and be more apparent.

Something else you should be aware of is that the hill near the lighthouse needs to come out from the wall at least 2 tiles or so, because right now it doesn't have any depth.

Wow shit I really gotta up my game.

Gonna be doing some hectic work in May. Don't have much to show currently, but my composer just finished a really solid battle track.

Album Art by Zeirt, one of the newest additions to the CCC. The song of course, is by Jake "MoneyMenace" Gamelin.

Idk I still think the ground looks too distracting. The oval space between them is looking weird too. You might want to go back to the drawing board on these, or consider lightening up the values all around on the brick to make them more subtle.

Also the bricks seem GIGANTIC, which might make them more difficult to read as tiles
