I didn't make this engine But I am learning programming and I haven't gotten to that level yet..
@Neok It's about Sakuya and trying to make a moe sprite for her :>

Nessiah, you're still one of my favourite... gaem members... keep up the good work.

I decided to try and start making facesets for my current project.

@Killer Wolf: interesting style. If you make every face in the game that style: thumbs up.
@Fallen-Griever: looks like old fashioned NES style. I would like to see a background/panorama on that screen.

Something new from ''Bang! Bang!'''':

@Killer Wolf: The style looks good but I'd find a way to add contrast to the flesh color in the faces. It kind of looks like one big blob right now, and doesn't quite have that pro look to them yet.

I like the last screen, but I think you should change either the saturation of the front trees or the chipset, because the trees are too saturated and stands out too much, but besides that i think it's fine, good luck with your chipset btw

I don't really post here much and I hate this account name, but...

Here are some screens from a gameboy-style RPG (no, I am not using RPG Maker ) with a rapidly aging + balding protagonist!:


The graphics are really influenced by a lot of those stock GB rpgs that saved me many a boring family vacation. I'm not really a pixel artist, but it's better than nothing, eh?

Deacon Batista - I see what BusterBlade312 means about how the outline of the upper area could be a little better defined, but I really like the overall look. It reminds me of looking down on the battlefield around the barbarian town in the Diablo 2 expansion once you got high up into the mountains.

Omcifer - In the first screen, it looks to me like the terrain is in a top-down view while the character is shown in the pseudo 3/4 overhead view.



About the shading/highlights on my attempted faceset, the program has a feature that is supposed to "smooth" out the image - basically it just blurs it and does a low tech aliasing job with the background color if the palette is sufficient. For the guy, I kept smoothing the image and then redrawing in important details that blurred out too badly. I ended up reverting a couple of steps back because looking at the final product made me feel like my eyes were going out of focus.

The female one was done without any smoothing. They both have highlights, but I may have used a shade that was too close to the surrounding tones, I'll have to mess around with them some more and try a couple other custom palettes.

Just finished redoing the HUD


I'm thinking how I should do the gameplay mechanics now, like more interesting.

It's difficult for me to comment on the map itself since not much is shown, but from what I can see it does look alright.

Loving the text box though. It's very easy on the eyes.
