Thanks man. 
Wish it could have been published. I'm thinking about rebranding it and seeing if I can sell it independantly.

General Discussion / Re: My Palette Collection

Here is a stupid demo of Obsoleet. It's insane, loud, and has some swearing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOPP3U7Ravg It's the only demo of it on Youtube, but shows random palette switching, after-effects and pane rotation/position changes.
The main point of this post is to share my palettes, not show off little insane self-indulgances. ;/

General Discussion / My Palette Collection
« on: January 16, 2013, 03:51:49 am »
Hi. I'm Streaks and I make games. I'm a bit of a nostalgia junky aswell. One of my projects is a spoof retro game system called Obsoleet. It emulates pixelly-palettey screenmodes efficiently and you can switch palettes instantly on-the-fly. Usually, holding the middle-mouse-button opens a palette menu, the contents of which is automatically populated by palette files in the palette folder.
Point is... maybe someone here might have a use for them.
The Obsoleet collumn are my spoof retro machines that I play around with. Admiral 16 is a Commodore 64 spoof, with a similarly desaturated 16-colour palette. Some other colour-sets bare explanation, so ask if you're interested. "Library", for example is my collection of named colours I started like 4 years ago for a UI project and became one of my beloved children because I have no life.
Now... the last collumn is called TheWayOfThePixel.net. Little story about how I found this site. When I started on this Obsoleet game engine project (2010 or 2011, I forget), I did a little googling for people's custom palettes, and the only thing I found of interested was a post on this site from someone called Arne who proposed a few nice 8-colour palettes. I included them because I like them, for private experimenting. Later I added a few more palettes that people had suggested on this site - some interesting sets from pixel-art challenge threads. All named after the proposer. Ages ago I made this account so I could send a PM to Arne and (I think) Locoluis, but I spent like months trying to get a verification email. like 6 month later I manged, sent messages, and still no reply. I just logged in again today, and my sent folder is empty. Either it failed or the sent folder self-empties after a while, or whatever.
Anyway, very impressive stuff on this site. Hope this can be of some use to someone, or at least slightly ammusing.
PS don't rip off my obsoleet stuff. I sweated over them.

I stopped developing a game about a week ago. It was only a few weeks old but there's no point continuining since the company that holds the IP is no longer interested. Anyway, it used 2D sprites in a 3D world to recreate the original retro aesthetic with more freedom and depth.

I'm not the best pixel artist in the world but it's easy to keep it going when the sprites are 32x32 and have a 7-colour palette. The original game had red, cyan, black, white, and this has a darker version of each none-black colour.
Thought you might find it interesting.
This is my first post here. I've had a look around now and then. Some interesting stuff. Really impressive. Seems very tight.
