Thanks. Yeah, I suppose the black is a bit too stark against the background. I might try substituting the black lines for gray ones.
Btw, your story and the screenshot look pretty interesting. Are the odd colours indicating a dream of some kind? The battlers look great, as does the background.
@Far_Oz and Tau
Thank you. So, you used events to create a kind of fourth level for the map; that is quite clever! I'll have to give that a try.
@emmych
Thanks. Yeah, the sprite is a bit tiny in the actual game, so I might try to find a way to work around that. You're right about the pants being too long as well.

So, guys I'm wondering which palette you guys like best: Top or Bottom?
I like the bottom one, but there's something storybook about the top one.
Could I see the top grass with the bottom trees?
Max McGee
no i just meant that screen looks just like ipop but with different pcs (and i guess if i really search my memory, it's ptb rather than ctb)
100% intentional.
Max McGee
wow i really can't stand this kind of intensive nitpicking personally but if it's useful to Tau then good on ya i guess
The messiah doesn't like extremely helpful, time-consuming advice? Oh well, the community belongs more to you.

Going to just smile and be evasive for this question. =3

Bottom.

author=CrazeI like what you've done with the actors, not so much the enemies. Obviously I have no context, but I think they'd probably look better monochrome like the actors.
EDIT: AND THE SECOND CHICK'S HEAD IS TRANSPARENT OH MY
Unless that's deliberate, in which case I like it.
It's not transparent, just matching (you can change the window color to whatever you desire, actually). Everybody has a primary and secondary color.

O_O That actually flows on perfectly with the floor pattern. Looking really closely, I can see some red on the actor on the end, and there's the two blues on the second one, but I can only see one colour on the other two. :/
Do the colours indicate elements or battle styles, or something similar?

Marcia has green eyes and Jesse has gold trim on his jacket.
The colors themselves are elemental, yes.

Fair enough. I dunno how important the colours are, or how many chances the player gets to see the full-portraits, but the secondary colours could be too subtle imo. But once again, I really have no context. Looks interesting, regardless.

author=Max McGeeYeahh. Agreed. This is kind of pointless! I'm all for perfectionism but this seems over the top.author=Far_Oz
@Tau:
Other than that, i agree with Max McGee keep up the good work, btw remove the mountain on top of a mountain of the secondshot XD!
@Lucidstillness:
About the submerged effects. First screenshot by Tau uses events to create the effect and the second screenshot is the chipsets itself.
wow i really can't stand this kind of intensive nitpicking personally but if it's useful to Tau then good on ya i guess
And yeah, the 'water-depth' effect is done via correctly-formatted water animations that are pasted into charsets (as events). I'm thinking about adding a tutorial on that, it's actually pretty simple.
@Craze, if you're gonna do this monocrhome scheme thing (not sure how I feel about it right now tbh) then the menu should be locked to grey/black, at least in whatever sections of the game are going to be in that style.
author=Far_Oz
Lay off, people! This kind of thing shouldn't be frowned upon! This shows someone cares about what you do, and that's awesome. :>
Saw that Craze was hogging the screenshot topic so i figured I'd post a few shots from my game. Working on finishing the intro so we can get a video uploaded.

author=RadnenHow about now? I wanted really beefy trees, the kind that dwarf the player so as to create the impression of forest height.
Just a quick color change to the trees might bring separate them from the grass even more.
I like Jude's change, helps the trees stand out against the grass and the overlay in the other screenshot.

I'm still planning on changing the background and item graphics... but I think I have the characters looking how I want them to (for now, at least). Meh.
I need to shift the class text around too, so that it's... possible to read them.
