thanx thats exactly what i needed. i just needed a reference to shade the devils face its my first time doing a profile.

I dunno, I still think that the devil's head could be bigger - at the moment, it's much smaller than the Neo Spartan's head, so you don't get the impression that this is a formidable opponent.

you're welcomme dude ;) and I think you should change the text color...only one color would be better

How about pixeling the text yourself? 'Neo Spartan' looks like the font Stencil and 'Press Start' like, well, Press Start (or Press Stark K, I don't know).

well blue considering the challenge is supposed to be a start screen for a game and considering most people in games use premade text i decided to type it. And considering that the text is just an add on to make it look like a game screen it really isnt the focal point of the challenge. I really hope th text is not gonna affect ur judgement.





blue u choose which one if it makes u feel better.

Looks like it should be pretty awesome, Metaru :D

And yeah, Spartan, that looks great. The 'Press Start' text is off-centre relative to the title text, though, which looks a little unbalanced.

Oh, also, currently, the contrast between the copyright text and the background is greater than the contrast between the actual title text and the background, which gives the impression that the copyright notice is more important than the title It's not a huge issue, but design-wise, it's things like this that make all the difference.

Well, the title text - and text in general - is an integral part of any game, particularly in the case of the title screen.

Also, "if it makes u feel better"? Hmm.

Pah, it should've been greys, or at least close to greys. And the greys should fill most of the image. IMHO.

Metaru, that's hot.

Spartan: Can't say I'm a huge fan of these new colors. If I didn't have reference from what this was before I wouldn't know this was a helmet/spartan and a devil. The spartan blue is way too strong, I think they should equally stand out.

Holy crap that is awesome.

Just posting this now so it'll burn on my conscience and I finishe eet. 'slooking like I might actually meet a deadline for once. 

it said that the canvas size is 320x240 so i hope this is only part of the scene. otherwise its good.

decided to make it more cyber punk so i screwed the text and devil and drew crusher (the bad guy)

'Course, the background is nowhere half done. But I thought I'd like to let everyone know that it's a window. XD
Again, this may be the colours I'm using, but I'm somehow opting for brown to get a 'grungy' look.

And no, I'm not leaving the messy squares. They're supposed to be lighting.

yeah i didn't see the point of showing the only thing i had on my canvas on the full sized canvas. Yep it's only part of the scene.

Finish it later and submit it after the competition...you don't need to scrap it entirely even if you aren't entering into the challenge...but you really don't need that much dithering...the max colour count is 32

finnished a basic lighting scheme. whadya think???

@metaru : it would be a bigger shame if u didnt hand it in in time.

I have finished my entry...the game is just named "tokyo"

ok frost, your pixel is just exactly what I was hoping to see in this competition and I am proud of being the actually small adviser on this pixel! :D Be sure to have my vote! (unless some super-artists come with three never seen amazing technics :-)

A matter of taste maybe?

Edited by Metaru - 07 September 2007 at 12:45pm

metaru ill tell you what the heart really needs. not love nope. it needs to look natural not plastic. make blue(/purple) colored veins on the heart and add some white fat at the top.


see.

thought I should post what I have so far in case I don't make the deadline



So far it is indeed a bit too symmetrical but I will change that near the end with some offset items. I also would like to add something on the sides to fill up space. Originally I was going to have a street scene with a character running through it but my instinct told me to do otherwise. Ideas?

new version. is it correct ?

his lip is odd :0

but i like the eye =)

I'm working on something that should hopefully be pretty cool and a nice re-intro to pj. Should have a preview/wip up late tonight.

Frost, the font for "Tokyo" is seriously amazing. And Metaru, I'd really like to see you finish that heart, should be good.
