Pixel Art / Trouble with cyberpunk color pallettes
« on: January 12, 2017, 05:28:11 am »
Hey guys. Haven't been here for a while and I am happy to say that I now have some time to work on some games 
So my friends and I were talking about what type of game we wanted to work on and we came to the decision we would make an NES quality cyberpunk game. (NES being the resolution). It would be very reminiscent of the original legend of zelda as far as character size goes.
The reason we decided on this sort of size is so that we could max out on story, level design, and the types of things I really enjoy about games and that I want to include. In past projects where I used this NES scale I also used the NES color palette, which probably won't work too well. So I need a color palette that would work in this cyberpunk underground type of world.
Also, we plan on throwing lighting effects ontop of the game to give it more ambiance and to transform the NES style a bit.
Here is some colors I found while looking at a couple hundred different cyber punk photos, some pixel some not. I want to get a wide range of colors so that different areas can have different "feels" color wise so that the player can have a better sense of what the world's structure is.

Any tips for me? Know any palettes that would work well for this?
Thanks as always guys.
