SCREENSHOT SURVIVAL 20XX

Managed to finish the living room, as well as the sprite of the main character, Mina. A chubby and kind young woman with a big heart and low self-esteem.

I've got 2 screenies for a short game I'm making.

I love everything Rm2k3, and it's great to see Neo Lescia screens again. It's been far too long.

Yes, it has been far too long. In a few weeks it will have been 14 years.

But the good news is I was feeling VERY inspired to develop it more a few nights ago, far more than I usually am. I'm getting ever so closer, ever so closer... I might be able to start taking pot shots at finalized versions of the first "section" now, which is exciting.

Game Mak school is really helping me shape NL in a realistic and concise way.

@Biz: Huh, never heard of Undertale before! But I checked it out and yeah, I can see the resemblance!
@Cap_H: Thank you! =)
@unity: Wow, thanks! It's a small project that kinda came to life because I wanted to make purple tiles - nothing more. Just plain ol' purple tiles. And then...this happened. I try to make a page for the game soon! Just have to draw the titlescreen first.
@charblar: Thank you! Do you mean the portrait of her, or her actual sprite? She's quite chubby if you compare her to other characters. I might make her a little chubbier, but I think part of why she doesn't look as chubby comes from her pose. (In her portait.) In-game CG's will definitely show her with more chub. I can definitely give her more of a belly, though! Your spriting style looks awesome, btw. Reminds me of Earthbound, but in high-definition. How did you create the buildings? They are really cool, definitely have a lot of character!


I have a whole bunch of new screenshots!



Actually, you have no face at all. One of the first cutscenes that you will come across. (The garden in the background is still pretty bare, but that will change soon.) You can get around by bus. The game is seperated into three big areas: The rural part of town (where Mina lives), the city and a forest/beach area.



The city's local arcade, run by a cat-loving, pun-making guy named Ed. There are no visitors as of now, but those will be added soon. Ed is the guy that you go to if you want to hear gossip. So he's really helpful if you are stuck at one point in the game.



And here we have a conversation between Ed and Mina. I actually decided on a more retro-looking font. Fun fact: Every citizen says a whole bunch of stuff, so you can always talk to people more than once to aquire new information. Ed, especially, has a whole lot to say.



The city map (WIP). Including: A Pub, Ed's Arcade, a Shopping Mall, houses, the Happy Masks shop, a Kindergarten, a Bus Stop and a Museum.

Thank you very much! I'm currently working on A mother series inspired RPG so that's where my graphics are coming from! I think the character bust definitely shows she's not a smaller build and was more referring to the sprite but yes the way they were looking probably didn't help my view of it.

Ohh, that's really cool! I can't wait to see more from your project. Will definitely check it out once you have a demo up. =)

Here is a little comparison between Mina and the two guys, I think that makes it more clear:

At first I thought he was talking about losing something more purrsonal, which sparked this perverted question.

I really don't like the purple color scheme. Its so uniform and drab I hate it so much. If the whole game is going to have it, say goodbye to map diversity. Every map will look more or less the same.

Don't get me wrong, I like the fact you're trying something "different" and I believe a monochrome look can be pulled off ( see Pizza and Cashmere cats screens from that game they were making for a better useage of mostly one color, but even that looked a little dull to me) at least in their idea the color scheme seemed to change with the area, and it was a more surrealist type game.

I'd suggest trying to rework the palette, you can have a heavy one color bias but this just looks like a black and white game with a purple filter on the screen.

Just my two cents.
