Can Of Worms posted:The background seems to blend it too much with the foreground for me, I didn't notice the snow patch the first few times I saw it. Try making the background darker, or make the foreground elements pop out more (thicker outlines?) Thanks for the feedback, everyone - will be sure to check back

I've not messed with the layer positions too much, but made the lines darker and followed some sprite advice from some people over on TIG. I think it's a lot more readable now.

zolthorg posted:Don't worry. There is apparently no such thing as copyright infringement for sprites. Or tilesets. That came across a bit passive aggressive...  Anyway, started messing about with my last prototype again. Not sure where it's going to go - I started on some lava for the pixel dailies, very WIP, but whatever...

Scut posted:Sweet lava! Very manageable from an animation perspective yet clearly shows it is hot as hell. I'm guessing the 'lavafall' is a placeholder still because it's jarring to the eyes. Maybe make it look almost static? Like it's oozing down. Also the tiles above the lava pool are perfect candidates for steam/vapour wisps to curl around. Yeah, wee vapour wisps would be cool - will look into adding them. Here's my effort for today's pixel daily:   I was trying to place both gifs into one image - couldn't work out how to do it - anyone have ideas?

Chipp Zanuff posted:In relation to the picture, I have a question; in what context is banding acceptable to use/get away with? I noticed there's a few bits in Aneurxorcyst's picture (Bottom lower corner of the head) where (or at least what i assume to be) banding is used, but i don't think it detracts from it in this case. A lot of tutorials i have read up on tell me to basically avoid it where ever possible, so im wondering what others in this thread think of it? Also, my stuff is pretty rough - I imagine I'm doing a lot wrong. I know the feet are particularly messed up lighting wise. ...one a day though and speed is my focus (I'm trying to increase my speed and output for game development). Edit: Pixel daily today...

Chipp Zanuff posted:Really digging the last one, it's really readable for only four colours! It usually takes me days before i get something that i'd even consider submitting/putting up so i usually avoid the dailies. How long does it usually take for you to make/finish one of these? Do you find it helps, I imagine it's sort of like a practice? Time wise, using that week as reference, here are some rough estimates including any time wasted starting over trying to get things right. This could really highlight my inexperience to some of the real artists in here... About 2 hours About an hour (not even joking) About 2 hours About 3 hours (I started out with a really complicated pose - total disaster) - worth stating the scene/backdrop took about 20 minutes And here's one that took me a full evening after work... About 7 hours (and an additional detail, the top down Solid Snake took about 4 minutes) But yeah, I'm really not an artist, but like I said, I think I know when things are "ready" so I just throw time at the issue. With enough time I think even people without natural talent can achieve something good. That's what I hope anyway As an example of what I managed to achieve solo in a weekend - here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=25406 Hope that helps in some way. I totally get that it's hard to know how long things take, I had that problem when people asked if I would do contract work - when I gave them prices and a time frame they went silent

Scut, I wish I had some more useful feedback, but I'm not feeling the characters - the environment is awesome, but I can't picture what a style of character would more appropriate. Maybe if it's in motion it'll blend better? Dunno. Sorry I don't have specific suggestions or feedback - feels a bit like a shitpost :\

the chaos engine posted:It's a bit tricky with Game Boy stuff since you only get 4 colours to work with, but the general approach is to only use the two lightest colours in the background. You're in too deep for that at this point I think, so maybe try this: Give the sprites and platforms an outline in the lightest colour? Yeah, I've had a few people mention the white outlines method, it's been a bit of a trend for modern takes on games with the 4 colour palette as of late, but not one I particularly like. I mean, I didn't really get that many complaints from the game itself, but I get a lot from the GIF's; so if my audience grows (which would be nice) then this stuff could become a bigger issue. So I'm probably just going to ditch the background platforms - to be fair, I didn't have them for every level anyway! A lot of the pixel art in the game is showing it's age now, remember, this was literally my first attempt at pixel art
