What are you working on now?

post=213473
Now working on 64 scientists NPCs (32 x 2 genders. They'll make some of the labs alive, and also working on a little colony for FRANTIX.


Good god. Just make one of each gender and copy/paste. If it's an important NPC make them unique.

I'm scripting cut-scenes, which is pretty much the least fun thing ever.

Craze Hates Dungeon Crawling

I'm a pretty big fan of dungeon crawlers and thought Etrian Odyssey 2 was awesome. I'm not real huge on Japanese-style "mysterious dungeon" games, though, except for a few of them (like Torneko). I think a lot of it stems from growing up playing games like Eye of the Beholder, so I kind of have a soft spot for it.

MANOS: The Hands of Fate

Definitely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It almost makes me want to play the game.

Prologue stuff...

First one reminds me of Ninja Gaiden 2.

I looked to a lot of examples for intro scenes and the Ninja Gaiden games were definitely in mind.

Just to be picky... the word 'NecropoliS' is placed too high on the screen. =P

Not really nit picky if you're right.

Striking resemblance, but Marcus has a better mustache... if an inferior hairline.

Everything you've done so far looks damn amazing man. However, I think that castle could benefit from a little more texture. It looks sort of plain and blocky right now.

I have a limited palette to add too much texture. I actually violated the NES ruleset when I moved the title over the moon, which I have to go back and adjust (one of the reasons I nixed the first version as well, in addition to the gaudiness). I can only use four colors per object or tile, which includes the transparent color. The blockiness is okay with me. Here's the palette if anybody wants it, by the way:

this looks pretty sweet.
when will this be released?


Not soon. I'm maybe a week from finishing chapter 1. I'll decide around then whether or not it's substantial enough to make a demo.

What happened? The lock icon didn't work out so well?

I compared the two and this looked better, I thought.
