@ sw : I think the orbs is too big, and it's weird to the player has glowing outline

Yeah, I am in a fix about this too. But I think the glowing outline is a good idea. Otherwise, the character/orbs doesn't stand out (It should be better in action I think...).

SW, I have a suggestion.

Why not make the sidewalks look slightly different from the roads? You could even make the roads more realistic by darkening the asphalt a little.

Tried the 1st suggestion a long time ago, but it doesn't work (mainly because I can't make a good sidewalk). Also, for the 2nd suggestion well... I would consider it if you said that few weeks ago, but now when the chipset and map is "finished" I can't really change it.

You see, some of the buildings have (parts of) the ground beneath them to make them 'merge' with the ground (especially If I put them on the 'normal' area of the chip, not the 'upper' area). So changing the asphalt would mean I have to do a lot of changing (the chip has 8 variants so yeah, quite a work there) and it's not worth it imo.  Thanks for the suggestion though!

i'm digging your world map stuff SW,
i've been creeping this board and seeing those screens and it's really cool.

Thanks, I hope to get a demo done in a few months, so yeah. We'll see.
Maybe then I can get some people to work on the music for the game haha (fat chance, heh ​).

The first boss of the game.

Right now, all he does is sit there and look pretty.

MISTER BIG T, what are those objects below the chained man?

I think I see two corpses and... A clown?

The two corpses were alive just moments ago and were killed by Jack the clown. 

@Mr Weird Guy
 That looks awesome, Reminds me of Gradius (now that was a great game)

I know, it's too much blood for just one body, but this is irrelevant. xD I should have improved these windows a bit more... >.>

RTP + Fancy lighting always looks strange to me for some reason.  Not necessarily bad, just strange.

Nazis, or close anyways, that's what they're based upon. Using the german symbol now because a swastika might be too much and I'm lacking anything better. Gonna put a statue up there in that empty sqaure and some more around the stairs but I need to finish the charsets first.

EDIT



Changed to swastikas after realizing how stupid not doing this was.

I don't think "oh custom graphics, cute/nice/cool" is gonna cut it here. You need to spend more time on these chips/tiles and really fine tune it if you want to make an impression. It's a good start though, just sloppy and not nearly as refined as it needs to be.

I actually think it looks pretty good. Reminds me of Rainbow Nightmare except the backgrounds aren't hand drawn.

I wanna know what you're making that in! Are you, perhaps, coding it in C++ or the like?

Is the left side too much empty?
