Hi, I've been working on a game for a couple of days now and I'm prepared to post a couple of pictures for some feedback on it.Bare in mind that this is only a small amount of the graphics I've produced and these images are very minecraft-esque.
Dirt Block:

Sand Block:

Slime:

Any feedback appreciated, FM.

    It's nice, but as you said it is only a small amount. Hard to say if it looks good or not without seeing more.

    looks good so far... I am a fan of mine craft art but some people are not... just a heads up... also may I ask why the slime is purple?

    Seriously though, thanks for the feedback, i'm currently working on characters so it'll come together soon.

    It's looking good but I have one question. What's the game about? :-/
  • FrazzleFrazzle Member Posts: 223
    Yeah, perhaps best to state the idea of the game,haha.
    It's intended to be a retro styled 2D RPG. A bit of a mashup between Castle Crashers, Elephant Quest (google it!) and Mario.

    I was thinking the same thing :)

    Elephant Quest (google it!)
    Just googled and played.... LOVED IT! If your game is like that I'm sure picking up a copy.

    :D

    Brilliant,isn't it? I'm hoping I'll be able to make a lvl system somewhat akin to it.

    I'm basically starting to code the overall gameplay; walking/jumping and then I'll start on enemy AI. Things like you just said will come after.

    Thanks for the feedback on this,guys. FM.

    I like it you just need to create a sky. So basically to make the sky and match the art style for your game you need a big blue square

    i think the characters should be bigger,because only a quarter of the place is used...
    i hope it helps!!!

    Philie: Thanks, I'm new to Tumblr as you may be able to tell.
    Psychotic Studios: Yeah, starting to make it, think i'm going to add blocky clouds, etc. Thanks for the interest in this thread!
    WTDeveloper:I know what you mean, but with a better background (if that's possible ;)) and MUCH more features (water,more enemies and bosses) it should look ok with small sprites.
    2nd Screenie coming atcha.

    Thanks qs - There's another thread on a couple of bugs i've encountered in the art,graphics music and sound section (because i'm a retard) that could use your expertise.
    Thanks, FM.

    This is very, very true!

    I'm no artist (my stick-men are rubbish!) but I do like a variety of art styles. It's incredible what an art style can do for a game.

    If I can bring up Air Supply - at it's base level, it's a run and jump game. There are dozens of them on the app store, maybe hundreds.

    But part of its appeal, I think, was the art style.

    If everyone is making the same sort of cartoony art for their games, it becomes very boring for me personally.

    I prefer something that has a little *personality*. That isn't cookie cutter.

    You could argue that too many games use pixel art these days. But the graphics have a charm all their own that give a game, for lack of a better word, a little 'soul'.

    Good luck with the game sir!

    QS :D
