Mr.S Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 This is a remake of Robotnik Winter Zone. I'm having trouble spriting the snow, I can't seem to make it more 16-bit. Right now I'm using the 8 bit tiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techokami Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 [qimg]http://i47.tinypic.com/2yycfx1.png[/qimg]This is a remake of Robotnik Winter Zone. I'm having trouble spriting the snow, I can't seem to make it more 16-bit. Right now I'm using the 8 bit tiles. ughhh people fucking up on terminologies 1) No, don't use processor word sizes for describing graphics. Genesis, Game Gear, Master System all used 4bpp (bits per pixel) graphics. 2) Now this is a key fact about the Game Gear: it can produce the same quality of graphics as a Genesis. The only difference is that it only has half the available palette space; 2 sets of 16 colors instead of 4 sets. Therefore, you can't make something that is comparable to Genesis graphics more comparable to Genesis graphics. It already is. Therefore I suggest you try to scale the tiles up a bit, since everything was smaller in Triple Trouble. (Also sorry for sounding angry about your wording, but I do want to push people to break out of these bad habits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.S Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Don't worry about sounding angry. To me on a Sonic fan forum 16-bit means Genesis. But thanks for the tip on up scaling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goshi68 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Just a quikee opinion option here. Which shade of Sonic do you guys like better4? The one on the left? Or perhaps the one on the right? Oh, and @spicy gyro games, those screenshots look quite awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strife Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I actually think that would look pleasantly surreal if you had deep blue water and a starry night sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I agree. I like the attention to detail with the farthest mountains, how they get darker the further down you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Is Sonic on Tanehineri (Tane Tane) Island from MOTHER 3? (Seriously though, that looks cool, but a starry night would compliment it more.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Striker Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I actually think that would look pleasantly surreal if you had deep blue water and a starry night sky. I'll try that and see how it looks Is Sonic on Tanehineri (Tane Tane) Island from MOTHER 3?(Seriously though, that looks cool, but a starry night would compliment it more.) So, you played MOTHER 3? I actually tried to make it look like a candy-based level (chocolate mountains, strawberry river, etc), but it ended up more surreal than candy-looking. Now that you said, it really looks like Tanetane Islands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta Hedgehog Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Your doing it wrong. In order to make a candy- like level, you need to add some background pieces that do resemble candy, like chocolate bars and lollipops behind the first set of mountains, or for the foreground, a candy cane floor (The grass) along with maybe donuts of fruity candy (The triangle pattern). Basically, think Sweet Mountain my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Played it? I own it and MOTHER 1+2 in the original boxes with all the promotional bits from Nintendo. but I digress. Continuing from what Delta said, you could also add in textures that would make it seem more like candy than a recolor. I.E. Floating strawberries and such in the river and squarish indentations or melty bits in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsSena Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Oh, wow. This does look like TaneTane island. Just use more putrid teals and purples. But for candy, well, you had your feedback on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Striker Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think I'm going to make two separate stages then: this one, like Tanetane Island, and another one candy-like. Thanks for the feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betaman Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 More power to ya. Honestly, I haven't seen many candy world stages, so this is a fresh idea for me. So anyhow, I've started work back up on Sonic Epsilon and to be honest, I think it's more...unique now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy gyro games Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 You could go more subtle with the candy theme (but obviously stronger than whatyou've done there). Maybe make palmtrees that have candycane stripe trunks, or shiny rectangular tiles that resemble jolly ranchers. There could be grind rails that look like twizzlers, and mounds of sugar that you spindash through (like the mounds of snow in ice cap.). Take a look at games like zool that have done themes like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 It's... really strange but.... perharps you'd like to... uh, let's say, mix more white to the paint you used on the water XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicy gyro games Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Kaiser Kiwi, the villainous fowl that Polyroll must stop. Kaiser Kiwi was raised by vicious hawks, but was always frustrated by his lack of wings, and inability to catch and devour his prey like his hawk friends and family. He instead developed his brain, and created a winged suit, now he's taking his anger out on the Polyrolls. He's taken them hostage in his frigid castle lair. . . And of course he has plenty of minions: Torchy Spring Pig Mushborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow_Striker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I'm not sure why, but this reminds me of Megaman X. Anyway, it's looking pretty nice. Well, I'm still working in the candy world stage. It's turning out like this: Well, I'm not very good with pixel art, but I'm at least trying to make something nice. I'm sure it'll get better with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
