CHALLENGE: It's Horrifying!Your challenge this week is brought to you by Delicious. He wants you to create a mock-up of a horror video game! Your mock-up must at least include a central character (the player) and a HUD. Also, the environment should be some-what gloomy, but it's not required, as long as there is something in the mockup that could categorize it as a horror game. Check out here, here and here for some ideas. RULE EDIT: for those making multiple screens and want space between screens using trans color is ok for a total of 26. CHALLENGE RULES

Awright, the inclusion of the central character means first-person horror games are out of the question? I was thinking of circumventing that by adding a player portrait (and maybe some dialogue). Acceptable? :)
Also, WIP abomination: ![]() |

Definitely acceptable, in my opinion - aslong as the character is being displayed in some way. WIP is looking great. :) |

This is my entry. The mock-up for a dark RPG game.
![]() EDIT: I guess there is not enough time to make so many pieces. So I will make just one, and the others I will make just for the gallery. Edited by FelipeFS - 12 May 2011 at 12:09am |

Right now it's called 3000 Miles Under London. Take steampunk + survival horror multiplayer and that's what I'm working on. I plan to greatly improve this mock up in the coming days so maybe I can meet the deadline even!

Awesome WIP's here! Hope to see some more. :)
Velrio: Unfortunitly that piece is already 227 colors (The maximum is 25 for this challenge) and it is obvious that those circles surrounding the building and the text were automatically done rather done by hand. Same Pixel joint rules apply in this competition as they would in any - It must be pure pixel art. I like where you are heading with the drill and characters, perhaps crop it down to that and make sure you're not cheating and place em' pixel by pixel! Good luck. ;) Quote from one of the few rules of this site:
"Any art you post should be PIXEL ART! Pixel art implies that each pixel is placed by hand (no filters, paintbrushes, gradient fills, etc)." Edited by Delicious - 10 May 2011 at 7:44pm |

I started when the challenge was posted yesterday and worked on it some tonight. I felt like trying for a Tale of Genji esque piece. Still fiddling with color, item placement, etc., but I think it's headed in a good direction. : )

![]() I'll try to finish this by sunday. Edit: @FelipeFS, That looks awesome. It looks like the type of game I'd play. The title screen reminds me of Diablo, which is always good. @Mrmo Tarius, Thats shaping up into something great. You've improved loads recently. @Velrio, looks interesting. Can't wait to see the end result. Dpixel, I like it, but I think the goblins could use a bit more contrast. I doupt I'll finish this before the deadline. Edited by Jim16 - 11 May 2011 at 9:13am |

You play as a truck driver trying to escape the city, driving down zombies and helping civilians! What a hero. :')

^Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're supposed to start from scratch for weekly challenges, right?

Unfortunitly, you're unable to submit this into the challenge because the rules state that you must start from scratch when the challenge starts, and considering you were working on this before, it can't be accepted. :(
It's a shame, because this definitely looked like it could've been a winner.

vecign: I liked the previous image, but this one you are making now is more detailed. You could make some monsters in those doors.
I suggest Character Maker 1999 to do any job that involves pixel. |

@FelipeFS, That was well written, clear and very funny to me. It seemed to me that vecign said that with humor at his own expense. It actually made me like his entry a little more for it.
I would never laugh at anyone for their vocabulary (or anything else) and hope no one ever feels insulted or put down by me or anyone else here. If so, do report it even if by Mods. I do sometimes joke with members who've been around and know me a little. Just the same I apologize. |

Originally posted by vecign - update - ![]() hey..imgur.com looks nice, very fast &simple to use :) thx for this jalonso I joined imgur and use it all the time. I think if you don't join you get ads. So, it seems your skills are not so horrifying as you think. Still some observations: •The banding/outling on the mountains is terrible/ugly and horrifying. •The player sprite is maybe too big for the truck. •The zombeh in the door is too small or uses perspective which a game like this wouldn't use. I think it would read better if player and this sprite matched in size so it reads as player /enemy. •The road in blue is wrong from a design standpoint. Make it a dark grey but not black. This will help lower HUD stand out too. • Unless you've run out of colors consider changing the sky to be a bit darker using blues. • The very top of the doors have an ugly curve/jaggies. Maybe ...1-1-2-3-5-7-5-3-2-1-1px •The GUI red numbers could use a white outline so they read better. Edited by jalonso - 15 May 2011 at 6:20am |

@jalonso: Hey man, thank you very much for the advices, today i am to drunk after one birthday party to change the things in time, but i learn a lot here & for sure you can count on me for the next competition! I know i suck very much in character creation, are there any good tutorials for this topic anywhere? The thing in the doors was not meant to be one zombie, it was only one funny decoration, the zombies are still missing, but like i say, today i have no time more to finish
![]() But anyway, it was fun and i am looking forward for the next one :) |
