Def fits the style.

The floor is still a placeholder. :/

Templetastic! Loving that floor and columns. You do all that yourself? Nice. ^_^

me and a fellow artist who worked on HOME are now working on a yume nikki fangame called Iter.

I'm just a side programmer/help as Sesaka is the main creator of this game.

That is very psychedelic! Looks intimidating to navigate but I love that floating look it has.

Actually I have only made the walls and columns, the torches and floor I found here in the Charas' resource database.

This floor was actually just going to be placeholder until I made something, but since everyone likes it I think I will keep it. O.o

Nice! I don't know about Yume Nikki, but this certainly is psychedelic.

The floor, wall and columns are really nice indeed. I also think the blood is odd, but overall a really good screen =)

After finishing all the programming with placeholders, I am now trying to do custom map stuff. The goal with the game is to introduce young kids to different styles of RPGs, so I asked my nephew to draw basic shapes for trees and I redesigned them a bit to make that map. Problems with hand drawn things is the blur it makes when transforing it into 320x240 in 8bits... So here is the (atm) empty "town". I'm not sure about the colors, I have to mess around to see. Maybe I'll add more details as well.

This has a really unique art style that I'm quite "digging" as the boys on the street would put it.

[Prpl_Mage]

To reduce some blur you can decrease the ammount of colours. Leaves less room for the smoothing effect.

2 more screens from the fifth chapter.

[Donut]

Really nice! I think it will be better if you darken slightly more the wall (or the floor) so that the colors are not identical for both. It would be easier to understand what's what.

[Donut]

So, I tried doing better with my previous HUB map, but it didn't work so well, so I've decided to abandon drawing the backgrounds myself. Instead I took some ripped background and I added the necessary things with tiles. Here is what I get:

It's so much better than what I had before! I mixed LoM background with some Mother 3 chipset, slightly edited. On the left the player will access the shop, on the right the First Person dungeon.

[Relux the Relux]

I would stead of using black for the outlines use darker colors of the sprites pallete (for example the red flower use dark red) if you want it to not clash as much with the pre-rendered background.

But if you want the contrast between the inactive back ground and the active background it is good the way it is.


Otherwise is very pleasant looking.

[Donut]

Thanks 
I'll try with your suggestion if I can blend the chipset better. I do want the tiles to stand out, so that the player understand he can interact with them, but perhaps they stand out too much...

I think the sprites stand out too much from the background because they have harsher outlines. You should either soften the outlines on the sprites or add outlines to the background. I like the composition of the map, though!

Stuck some ripped Crystalis graphics onto a tileset because I really like how that game looked. They're kinda challenging to work with, but I think they look cool. Credit for the original rip goes to Zephiel87, although fitting it to a chipset wasn't as easy as I thought it would be:

Here is a forest using graphics ripped from the same game. Credit for these go to HylianFox. Turns out NES graphic artists were more capable of making forest graphics than the RMVX/RMMV spriters are

I'll possibly add the chipsets here assuming that's still possible: I've already posted them over on RMN.

[Donut]

Nice!
This game was awesome as far as I remember, although I played only the GB version (and I've no idea what are the differences with the NES one). For the chipset itself, some corners of the first one look a bit weird, the transition between corner/straight is not smooth. I highlighted some of the area in red:



Otherwise the chipset is pretty neat, I always find it hard to make them from scratch.
Also, thanks for the suggestion on my screen, I made the outlines in a less agressive color

I thought I could share one of the old thing I did here. I'm thinking of continuing that game after I'm finished with the current one (you can click to enlarge the image).



It's made of 23 pannels at the GB screen size (160x144), hence some weird transitions in the image. It was meant to be  a RM2k3 game, but never been past the initial Game Design and Concept Art stages (nothing coded, no database, etc...).

[Sated]

Yeah, I'm aware of the issue with the corners. but thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately, that's a problem with the original tiles rather than something I've done incorrectly, but it's definitely something that I could correct with an edit. Similar edits were required to get the forest tiles to slot together smoothly!
