Lost & Wet - Short Horror Games - Chris2Balls [:B] - 01-28-2016

[+]Concept sketches
As the title implies, I'm working on short horror games.
The graphics are underwhelming, but I'm aiming for a simple yet effective style. I'm going for a mute palette to set the tone of disappearing objects in this project - Lost.

Spritesheet followed by mockup. C+C appreciated! Smile

Updated spritesheet with font. And a mockup of the title screen. Added mockup of the disappearing.

This is looking interesting, I love the house props.

will you make an actual house map (with proper rooms and walls) or a single rectangle though?

Looks neat! I would say the title screen lacks personality at the moment. I don't really get a sense of a specific mood just by looking at it, although maybe you're going for a neutral feeling. You could have the letters flicker while idling, or maybe a letter disappears when the game starts?

I was thinking of keeping the play area to one room, like Hello HellO Smile

Yep, the title screen's a bit bland, agreed. I've worked on some flickering:

More to come soon!

Strange things happen along the canal. Almost like something's following you.

@Chris2Balls nice project.

What are you using to code it? Or you are only on graphics now?

RE: Lost & Wet - Short Horror Games - x0_000 - 02-12-2016

Looks nice. The palette is a pretty strong contrast of colours. Maybe the water should be darker to convey a grimier feel? Hard to say at the moment.
