ill give it a shot. Not very good at mock-ups (i suck at backgrounds) but lets see what comes out of this. i already made some advances on this. Its in a really early stage, but i think i can manage to make it until sunday - the biggest challenge will be to actually do it with just 32 colors X.x as always,they are my original characters Tora, Clark and Tille, fighting the "Space Stalker" (ya, got a whole story with these guys. maybe I can write it around here later xD) cool name for a final huh?. The stalker isnt visible for the moment though :P.
I want to see whatthe rest is going to make, im pretty anxious. Hope im not the only one with an RPG in mind.

Heh...This sounds fun :D

What you get if you cross me being hunrgy with pixel art--
 Little Chef-The Game ;-)
(not sure if it counts as original, though, seeing as little chef isn't my idea...)

Ho hum, a very rough draft. I'm experimenting with different mouths on the boss and different positions of the player, any mouth examples that you guys think would look good would be very much appreciated.  also, i've never made a background before, so the cave will be a trick to make |

FrostedM, Hyperbear: good potential you got there! Hyperbear: Aku's mouth might do? A cave: you sure didn't choose the easy way... And, why do you have 'preview' in your avatar?! ;-P |

I think I miss understand something. Must I make a original final boss battle scene for the competition with original Characters & Boss only with my own style and in a other position ? Is this a (not finished) mockup?(not my entry): http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/2482/contest01te.png (Alien Hominid Final Boss Battle Console Version) Sry I never heard mockup before and the definition by wiki is not cleary and not for graphics. :/ |

Good catch on my avatar. Also, I like the Aku mouth idea, but I think this one works better for one with something hanging out. I made a change of tone from the original  And I know the menu isn't lined up correctly  |

Hyperbear: bones? going for http://ruedeslumieres.morkitu.org/espace_photos/paris/ossof/album0.html - catacombs ? great idea! Inphy: looks cool! Hatch: beg your pardon? ;-))))) Don't even try, you'd have to start waaaaaay back... (played Pong on Apple 2s when these were new, not much since!) |
Posted By: hyperbear
Date Posted: 11 August 2009 at 2:05pm

This BG is a placeholder, while I didn't have catacombs in mind, I might go with that, should be manageable. Inphy: That's lookin' pretty solid, but a little bit generic, though i know you're not done. I'm gettin' there, still working out a better way to same "game over" Really, any boss is the final boss if you can't get past em.  |

still working here, i think im going pretty well. The background challenges me though X.x pkus i dont know what weapon i can give to the girl :S I kinda feel the characters are too big to fit a cool ending battle, but ill manage to make it somehow... i guess. any ideas for a weapon? i would appreciate it!

Either shuriken or sai. Both are equally awesome Also, I'm nearing completion, here. Still have to do some shading and redo the background, though. The text shouldn't take too long.  Suggestions? |

i would go with a kunai with chain. Its very graceful and i think it would work well with a girl. Heres a few pics http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/heartless20/anime/Samuri%20or%20fighter%20Ninja/guys2002nk.jpg http://www.kbninjutsu.com/images/kusarigama.gif |

| Original game? I'm not sure I understand, does it have to actually exist? (like a play station game or something) |
Posted By: skamocore

Why would 'original' mean remaking a game that already exists? That is the complete opposite of what is required. Original: Your own game, invented by you - not fanart, not a remake, not a demake, not a clone, not a reboot, not a reinvention, not an adaptation. Your own ideas; a game that has never been seen before. ------------- |

@ Oren: It's cute, but the gingerbread man could use some AA around his icing, and the font is pretty hard to read. @Puck: She looks a bit like she's leaning back, it may be easier to do a stationary firing position, so you don't have to worry about how limbs fall on their own, in a relaxed position. |

By the way, the most beautiful game ever is Samorost by http://www.amanitadesign.com/ - Amanita Design . And their next one, Machinarium, looks like it will be even better, from the video previews. Czechs are good, when it comes to animations. |

| that's a really cool playing field inphy, I think it would add a great extra dimension to either fighting games, where you have to stay on the platform as it scrolls from background to foreground while fighting, or at least in an rpg like yours, where you can move to forward and back positions, like some FF games. good stuff |

| Prustel, your Boss seems like a combination of Haunter and Ghastly, and your player's left thigh doesn't look right with that shading, maybe lighten up the inside of the leg. |

yes I know he looks a little bit like them D: hm I think the shading is alright, but I think I will left this challenge because I'm not contently with my entry or maybe I will do another entry, but this time smaller. But the time is running away x.X |

You could try bringing out the rocks that are closest to the floor - the wall looks a bit like a straight wall perpendicular to the floor, with a rocky wallpaper. Quick edit:  |

How does this look? It's sort of based on the First person Impact battles from the Mystical Ninja (Ganbare Goemon) series. |

[platformer] Some things I like, some things I don't like. I really wish I could add some kind of texture to the rocks, but I'm not that good :P Texture to the background seems to be the next thing, although it will only be simple. I also need to actually add the boss and the player which I'm not looking forward to. The rough idea behind it is that the main character is in a computer game, except he becomes sentient and tries to get out. In the final boss battle, the game designer tries to sabotage the game in order to stop the main character from escaping. I was thinking of adding some 'glitched' tiles to show this, it would be quite an interesting thing to try out. ------------- [O.õ] -< señor gameboy thinks you are talking rubbish > |

Quick edit: Are You saying that the rocks themselves look flat? or that the wall looks flat when it should be curved? what exactly do you mean? I'm not exactly sure what you did in the edit either. I appreciate your criticism, Ind I really want to fix it! Thanks. ------------- I am a person, as is anybody else in this world. I expect nothing from you, except what you expect from me. |

tenentenen: He's saying that where the rocks meet the floor, the rocks don't seem to have any depth. Open the edit up and the original, and look at the difference. ------------- [O.õ] -< señor gameboy thinks you are talking rubbish > |

getting close to finishing, just need to finish up the dragon, add a HUD, and re-touch areas of the background. those wings are being a pain right now :( ------------- http://sj-gfx.com">

Looking nice, especially the bricks :) I think *his* left wing should be a bit lower and it seems to be at a little bit of an odd angle. I was playing Super Castlevania 4 recently; this could possibly be a helpful reference:  Also, I would ease up a bit on the ordered dither. Maybe reduce the contrast in the background too. I think this would be better if it were an action shot; what is the main character doing - calmly loitering around while the boss is about to slice his head off? ------------- |

skamocore: updated again, i made some crappy wings before your post, but I can't really do much about the contrast in the background (well, apart from the red rocks) without bringing the foreground down as well, and I think it is pretty necessary in the foreground. The ordered dither everywhere was more of a time saver than anything else, its easy to do and I needed to cover a lot of area and have been spending a lot more time than I wanted on this. Anyways thanks for the reference, probably going to wipe these wings and have another go, soon ------------- http://sj-gfx.com">

Oh, too bad I didn't have a chance to submit my Dragon Warrior themed dragon. I finished it recently a few days ago (aug. 11). Oh well, I probably didn't complete it according to the rules somewhere anyway. :) Good luck to who wins! |
