Title: Naïca - Pixel art MMORPG on mobile and PC
Post by: FraZM on April 09, 2018, 01:01:18 pm
 Hi everyone !

I'd like to introduce to you the project I'm working on called "Naïca" : as you read in the title it is a video game on mobile blending pixel art and MMORPG 2D !

Naïca is developed on Unity and designed/animated on Aseprite and we aim to have the smoothest possible animations. The story is being created right now (we are more focused on gameplay/animation/design) so I can't tell you much about it except it will take place on a medieval world full of cristals with different races of animals and humans living together.

Some gif/pictures (it gets bigger and BIGGER) :

I'll keep updating this topic for more informations/visuals and we also have a Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/naicaonline/) and a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/NaicaOnline) if you are interested ! The website of Naïca is now available at this adress (https://naicaonline.com/) and you can register to participate to the tests ! Don't hesitate to shoot any questions :)

Small update : We began to work on the level design of Naïca ! Can't wait to see it in "real" and show it to you :) For the characters & the animations expecially the attacks (only the fox has been animated thus far that's why you'll see him a lot !).

It's rather high-contrast, I didn't spot the character right away because of that.

Part of the problem is that the character isn't very eye-grabbing. Have you considered using slightly more saturated colours for the fur, and having shadows that aren't so dull-looking (more hue-shifted)?
Title: Re: Naïca - Pixel art MMORPG on mobile
Post by: FraZM on May 16, 2018, 08:50:34 am
Hey !

The screenshot is actually 4 screens of smartphones so that's why you may have not spot the character right away. On a normal screen you will not have this kind of issue ! We'll work on making it easier to spot the characters in the coming days prior the first playtest (soon to be announced).

Thank you for your feedback !

It's clear you're putting a lot of effort into this! An MMO is SUCH a huge endeavor, have you released any full commercial games yet? After 5 years even now I'm just working to release my first (Although I've been working for it on and off for 2 1/2 years specifically).

I just imagine all the classes and customizations it takes to make an MMO feel fun and unique, but the pixel art niche does do you a lot of favors! :D


The characters are really popping now from the environments, but I would suggest you animate at least one other race ASAP :)

Hey ! Thanks a lot for your kind comment !

Naïca is our first video game project and we are doing everything we can to do it weel !

As for the races, we plan to add the humans very soon: we wanted to make them available for the playtest but an issue kept us away from doing it :( .

We will release the video from the playtest very soon !

Man this art is awesome. I love the graphics. I've taken a look at the website and this post. I'm interested in testing the game.

Besides that, i do agree with eishiya. I didnt even notice the player character. Maybe you could add something noticeable around the player. Or maybe this is a zoomed out shot of the game? I think it wouldnt be a problem if the player character took more space of the screen.

Im not an artist, this is just my opinion :)

We wanted to launch a new update for Naïca but we experienced some unexpected issues, delaying its release. We are currently fixing the issues and the update will launch once it's ready!

The Friends list will be added with this update, allowing you to keep track of your friends!
