Building buildings. Opinions needed.

Posted by blue213 on April 10, 2007, 6:11 a.m.

Hay guys. I've just gotten some lovely artwork off one of my pixel artists for Blastforce. However, I'm in need of some opinions. I seem to have mixed feelings.

I'm after a SNES, anime-like feel to the art. Look at these screenshots for an example.

I've gotten two versions of the same building, but I can't decide which one is better. Help?

Please give opinions. And DO NOT use these in your own games!

First.

The first? Thanks for the opinion. It doesn't really have that SNES feel, though. Does it?

blue213 17 years ago

Yeah, I guess. I really need that style. How would I go about making it look more SNES-ish?

Cut down the number of colours?

But really, the first one does look much better.

Hmm, yeah. But if you look at those screenshots of that other game I provided first, somehow they've managed to do it. Without making them have too many colours.

Thanks, but it's the work of my artist. All credit goes to him!

But which one do you prefer?

I like the sprites, very clean and colourful! [:D]

although the first one is pretty cool the second one can be used with a lighting engine to emulate/surpass the coolness of the first!

First one's the better :D

Oh, I was talking about the Sailor Moon game graphics. Hah.

The other stuff, well basically Snes graphics use only a few colours and dithering. Dither them, and get rid of those photoshop/paint shop filters. Very un-snes like.
