Hi I do art mostly but also do games.

Please read my comic, Patchwork and Lace. It's about a Lovecraftian Disney Princess dark mage and her superpowered undead partner hunting monsters and being bad at communication.

What do guinea pigs dream about? Probably not this, but just roll with it.

I'd like to grab C1, if I may.

Your Game and Music

Dude, there are a lot of Touhous. You can probably stand to either drop some of them or at least not repeat them.

Man, I'd been worrying about my (possibly) 30ish tracks... o_O

Ah, I'll lighten it up a bit, then. ( even though I like my dark interiors >:) ). I'll just drop the opacity of the lighting overlay ( since I don't use a lighting script ).


If you're really keen on having a dim interior, you could fix things by positioning the light sources on important areas. Part of the problem is that your current screen highlights the floor, some boxes, and some bottles, none of which (I assume) are important. If you switched the left window and the middle display rack, there'd be less of a problem, since the important NPC would then be highlighted.

Using light sources is all about showing the viewer what they're meant to be looking at.

Commercial game music: What to unot to use

Or take advantage of the many free music resources already available on the net, if you're hopeless at composition. Especially if you're looking for traditional vidya gaem style music, there's a jillion composers around offering their stuff for no charge other than a mention in the credits.

@Sooz I love the vibe you're going for. But I do actually think Dookie's version improved on the original. It's better if you make maps that adhere to RPG conventions. To make something look like it's inside, that's generally what you do.


I'm not arguing that, I'm just explaining why that fix wasn't implemented yet. Sorry if I managed to come off like I was refusing to better something! It's just a slow process for me and I was kind of excited about the fixes I had made. I guess in the future I should hold back on that. vOv

Those, and I redid some textures and color (to make a better palette), as well as trying to add in a shadow to better separate the ground from the wall.

I guess most of that isn't all that obvious at first glance, which is probably a good thing, given I didn't get anyone saying, "Oh man, those textures are awful!" or anything. XD

without the black its really hard for the viewer to grasp that we're underground/inside.

also it doesn't get much easier than autotile. you can do it. look at how other games handle interiors and you'll see. I thought someone pointed this out already?


Please bear in mind that I'm making all the graphics by hand and this is my first time doing this stuff, so I can't exactly instantly fix things. I'm definitely going to fix that particular problem, however! I'm just a bit intimidated by the layout of the autotile base (and, y'know, busy with RL creative things that give me money) so I've not taken the time yet.

[Poll] What are your greatest roadblocks to publishing games?

P. sure that goes under "Lack of motivation."

Hola, como estan?

Sup, not-steadily-employed buddy?

I'll have to check your stuff out when I'm in a place I can listen to things; I may have need in the future of a commissioned track.
