Western Fantasy! - Bombshell93 - 04-10-2013 So the project doesnt have a name but I've got into the habbit of naming all the texture files "jim" so I suppose thats a good enough name for now. I've got an engine working and the skeleton of at least 3 boring games, I say boring because usually something about their presentation has just not appealed to me (and theres no point making a game if you dont enjoy it). Anyway I sprited a few characters until 1 stuck and I settled on this guy, I guess his name is jim. Theme is a steampunk western, gameplay so far is mario 2-ish but I'm adding a handful of items for limited use to change things up (guns, steam-fists, whatever) western based as you might imagine its tileset includes sand. (the X in the corner is the NotATile tile to be used like a delete tile button int he editor) and the items I dont have much, just something to test smashing them but my main concern atm is to get a simple background, I've had some issues picking colours though. There are no specific limitations, but I'd like to stick to a certain style hopefully conveyed in the sprites already shown. Any and all comments or crits would be greatly appriciated, Thanks for reading, Bombshell RE: Western Fantasy! - Jamuk - 04-15-2013 I'd suggest using a different colour for his mouth-scarf/bandana (red could look good) to make it stand out. I could see the background being a kinda pinky-red colour like in sunset/rise. Alternatively, you could try an approach similar to Skyward Sword's Lanayru Desert, where you have a blue sky but sand in the air. RE: Western Fantasy! - Volmaeth - 04-19-2013 Looks fun. but I dunno how many levels you can make with an steampunk western theme.. (dessert? mineshaft? ancient indian graveyard?) maybe he walks into a cave and finds an water source.. o.o (I can already see lill cutscenes in my head from nintendo) if you don know anny enemy's for the game. I suggest snakes and scorpions and stuff... eagels and maybe evil badits (another level for the game.. an ghost town full with bandits ) of course these are just suggestions, Im just trying to improve my reputation level by posting meaningfull things x(
