Some Pixels for a Game [updated]

[Relly]

Here's some art for a game I've been pixelling for named 'Crawle'. More info on that [here](http://sleepystudios.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=10).

Tell me what ya' think:

Not bad looking. Is that guy below the farm shooting some kind of energy ball or something??

[Dark Crusade]

Not bad, but there's a bit of inconsistency. It's not fitting that some sprites and tiles (humans, chest, ladder) have the black outline, and others don't. The trees and house also needs depth, and I'd think about making the tree's leaves less 'ball-like'. Perhaps some simply water would look nice too.

[ark0n]

Wow not bad, but like Kreator said, the black lines on some and none on others makes it look wierd. Also the tree needs more detail, in my opinion. But the house looks fine.

[guzmanm]

The characters look damn sexy. The grass, dirt and fit in pretty well with the characters for me. The water doesn't feels like water at all. The tree doesn't fits with the tiles and the characters at all. Plus, listen to Kreator. Having black outlines on some sprites and on others not is really confusing. Try to match a single style.

[Murdoc]

I think they look fine, but as others have mentioned there is inconsistency with some things being outlined and others not so much. I think the trees would benefit from having a dark outline similiar to the chest so that they stand out more from the grass. The roof could use better texture. The water could be done to fit the style better as well. But these are just my opinions of course. Pretty good overall.

[Jeff]

The water isn't textured, very well, and the trees don't have the same detail as your other tiles. The only black lines I think need to be removed are the ones around the ladder.

[Relly]

Oh wow, I'm not used to this many replies..

Anyways, I forgot about the outlines, this is a bit of an old mock-up. At one point in time I was going to outline everything you can interact with, but pretty much everything would've been outlined, so I stopped in the middle. Right now, the only things outlined are characters.

I honestly agree with you on the trees. I made them pretty quickly (it was actually a joke) and when the others saw it they liked it. *shrug*

I think I will make a simpler water to match the style a bit better as well.

Thanks for all the feedback and compliments!

Also, the forums got hacked not too long after making this topic.
I have my suspicions.. >.>

UPDATE:

New water:

[Minilinkki]

Oh wow the sprites are SMALL @___@

Try resizing and also remember this; The main sprites are more important than tileset, try make them "popup" better. :3
Otherwise it loooks cute!

[Relly]

Lol, small graphics is the style. Re-sizing it is a completely different style.

Them being the only thing darkly outlined doesn't make them pop enough..?

[Minilinkki]

Nope, tileset is too dark for it. :s

[Jeff]

The new grass has a horizontal tile mark. Other than that, it's nice. I like the water.

[SawQuart]

The dirt path sticks out way too much. Just get rid of that shading.

[Relly]

I used the wrong grass (oops), so don't worry about it. >.<

The dirt path to the left? I like how it blends in..
If you're talking about the path to the right, I used bad coloring, the grey one looks better I guess.

The mock-up was mainly about the water. >.<

@Jungle:

Yeah the one on the right of the water is too bright.

I meant the one on the right. The left one is decent.

[Relly]

Yea.. the yellow-ish one doesn't look good, probably won't ever be in the game.

Oh yea an update, dungeons:

And another mock-up of the newer water:

[ZoSo]

I kinda like the tiny style your going for.
Coolstuff dude, hope this game see's the light of the day.

[Relly]

Thanks, and as do I.

[Dark Crusade]

Any inspiration from Haven and Hearth behind your project?

Dungeon is neat, perhaps make the floor darker and the top of the of the walls lighter? Experiment with trying to give it more depth.

[Relly]

Yes actually xD. I was wondering when someone would notice. (the birch trees gave it away I'm sure)

As for the dungeon floor, I did notice it wasn't as dark as I thought it was. (I made 'em a while back)

New stuff:

[Whackeddie99]

Reminds me of H&H so much, but looks better. Maybe this will be a similar but less laggy version. That is one of the major problems with it.

Anyways, nice pixels. Looks very clean and soft to match the sprites, even with the black outline (which I think looks cool). Can't wait to try this out.

[Relly]

Thanks, it would be awesome if we could make a game as good as Haven and Hearth!

[Whackeddie99]

Hahaha I know. H3H is good, but I can't stand that damn lag. Booted me off the server after a max of 10 mins. Got annoying after the first day, and I eventually quit.
