Pixel Art / Faces, faces, 1bit faces, I am bad at them!
« on: January 29, 2011, 06:17:43 pm »
Hello hello! I am making conversation portraits for a game, for which I might post the sprites for later -- but for now it's just the faces, faces, 1bit faces! Well, I only have one finished-ish right now, but I realized I never tried to dither in black and white before (I always just did solid two-tone simple things) and as you can see it looks a bit busy and silly. Any thoughts you have will be the best thoughts ever!

In this game you will play a traveling ninja gentleman, and this is one of the disgruntled people that you must assist so that they needn't scowl so anymore.



and alternate background that is even more busy why did i make this i dont know what im doing with my life?



Thanks!
(Depending on my levels of success with this I might opt for making the game in color, but I rather like the STARKNESS of black and white)

P.S. In the game this will be zoomed in to 2x, but it should probably still be readable at 1x just for the principle of the thing.

General Discussion / Tile map tutorials?
« on: January 21, 2011, 11:34:58 am »
Hi every1body! I am almost sure that there's a tutorial I've missed about tiling somewhere on here, but I hope you will forgive me and help me find one. =P I've done bunches of pixely things (and read all the classic tutorials) but never anything tiled, and thought I might save some time by reading first. =)

In particular I'm looking to do tiles for a 2d platformoventure game ... which is in black and white now but probably won't stay that way, uncertain. The ground and such seems straightforward though not necessarily easy, but I am particularly curious about various theories regarding what scenery to make out of sprites and what scenery to make from tiles. So if you know any good reading materials on the subject please do share! (Or link me to the posts on this forum I've foolishly missed :\ )

Thanks!

Edit: Oho! I finally found a wealth of things: http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=4912.0

Edit again: MMmmmpity there are not more dicussions there for side views. What am I to do? EXPERIMENT? Madness.
