WHATCHU WORKIN' ON? TELL US!

I know I said I wanted to retire.... but I've been inspired by Yume Nikki... It's not a good game, imo, but I love the atmosphere and I want to make a short project similar to it, but more linear and less walking around nothingness.

I uploaded a unfinished demo of dreamwalker, i wouldn't call it a full demo, seeing as rmk is closing off. I just want to see how it goes, what bugs I need to wander off.

More dreamwalker stuff, some faceset changing in events that shouldn't be there, and new charset for caroline.
I'll properly work on improving some dialouge, and not have characters end up speaking glibberish.

Learning how to record gameplay footage. I finally found software that actually records at a good fps!

Then I uploaded a test video to youtube, but it ended up being very bright for some reason...

Creating some franken-chips. Cutting up rudra tiles and adding in this cave chipset that I've been using... and then recoloring a bunch of shit. Minor graphical things aside (the tile floor looks a little wonkey, the cliff-surface-corner-edge-thingies are missing a piece), how does it look? Mostly, how do the cave walls look with the rudra tiles?

@narcodis: I feel like the place where the cave wall meets the brick wall is extremely awkward. The brick floor actually looks fine, but the... mud floor? I can't tell what type of ground it's supposed to be. It looks like bubbling mud, but could possibly be stone or dirt. You might want to recolor that one some more to make it clearer.

This isn't the screenshot thread though! But I try to be helpful anyway.

thanks for the input LockeZ and tardis!

Oh, also...

Please don't think that is a screenshot from my game! That is merely a map testing out the tileset. You know, strictly for feedback purposes.

I'll probably make the dirt alot darker/browner... but I feel like the cave walls need that reddish hue to match with the brick walls.

Joseph: I actually recommend submitting it. I was against submitting my own in-progress project because I didn't really expect people to pay attention to it and be helpful (based on the amount of criticism my finished game got). But I was urged to submit it, and so I did, and people actually have been great so far. I've gotten more feedback and advice from my first-dungeon screenshots and my one blog post than I did for all of Vindication. Kind of crazy, but I'm not complaining!

Kentona: Looks quite barren, which is totally appropriate for the moon! If you're worried about it still looking too detailed, you might try getting rid of the two mini-craters inside the crater, and see how that looks. But I don't know. Maybe you should have craters of different sizes? If I do a google image search for "moon crater" I get photos that aren't just one crater, the craters basically make up the entire landscape.


But like you said, that's probably way too detailed for a Mario game. Also I really have no idea if the entire moon looks like that, or just a few spots that are popular places to take photos of. So maybe just include one or two big craters. I mean really big craters. Like, one of them 4x4 tiles and the other 9x9 tiles.

Dreamwalker. Working on a world map, just don't really like old concept of it, but I try my best.
