Thanks, Frankengraphics! I'll see if that something I'm up for. ATM, I hoping that using the darkest blue for the some texture on the ground tiles will let me get away without extra code.

I'm going to see if I can cheat some black into the sprite work by leaving the ground tiles mostly black. We'll see if it looks too janky, but I think it'll give a cool dreamlike effect to the world.

Working title: Sacnoth

Haha! I wonder. Maybe there is a Doodledootrice out there too.

Learned a lot on this one about how to blend pallets and how not to leave extra room on the edges of tiles for the background color. Still, this is as done as it needs to be. This ...

Just as a quick reminder, composite artifacts can really mess with dithering. Here's what I get from my NTSC filter (colors are a bit off too, gotta love Never The Same Color): This is good info! Thank you! I think that if the solid blocks or anything in the near-background were given a bit more ’s...

I am insanely jealous of your ability to make tiny three-color sprites not look awful. Excellent stuff. Thank you! I love the smaller sprites. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread. Thanks! Cheers! Gruniożerca 2 is an amazing looking game, btw. http://www.shedwarf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/coc...

Hi, Tepples! Yes, I've seen Balloon Kid and that's kinda what I'm thinking. Saw it on Jeremy Parish's youtube show a while ago. Joust controls, but used to navigate levels and unlock doors. Designed more the console play than the arcade action of Joust and Balloon Fight. Reduced the size and design ...

http://www.shedwarf.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/cocktrice_player_sheetNES.png This is a NES version of an indie game project I was working on a few years ago, working title Cockatrice. It's an adventure take on Joust. I'm a bit worried about how long the sprite is, but if I'm careful with enemy ...

Holy moly! These backgrounds are excellent! I'm going to be studying these in depth when I get closer to level design! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! I'm blown away by your pixel work. Astonishing what you are able to do with dithering!

Personally, the NESmaker development lead me here and to all of you wonderful people and your lovely work. As for the concerns about shovel ware, as a comic artist on the web, I can tell you that the increase in access to software tools and publication resources have indeed exponentially increased t...

Thank you! Super Pitfall 30th looks gorgeous! It's so fun to see what this community has been working on. I've only just become aware of it. Thank you for being so welcoming!

Welcome! It's nice to finally see some un-jpg'd versions of your work! Thank you! Yeah, the facebook page is neat, but man it chews up images. haha. You're Indivisible Demo was wicked great, by the way! The animations and character adaptations were stellar, and the gameplay was butter smooth too!
