Title: Tactical combat game mockup

Mockup made as a test for a top-down turn-based tactical game. Nothing of it will go into the actual game. 
 
Concept was a battle inside an abandoned government lab, sci-fi post apocalyptic setting. I went with a simple low-palette style that could blend well with the non-outlined characters. 16x16 tileset and 32x32 characters, 3/4 RPG perspective. Combat would focus on cover and tactic, thus the many energy crates and stasis tanks providing strategic positions.
 
Zoomed x2.  (x1) / (x3) / (x5)
 
An original work owned and comissioned by HOF Studios. (April 2016)

@eishiya Thanks :) Well, this was just a mockup test I did for a job offer, but unfortunately they ended up choosing another candidate. I really like the result, though. I'd have loved to work on the game, but oh well.

Yeah, you guys may be right about the characters. Take into account it's still missing the usual UI elements that identify characters in these kind of games, but yeah, some more contrast would help.

Thanks!

Nice mockup! Although I would definitely change the color on the characters, because now they blend into the background.

Nah, it's not prohibited when it's important to the piece like that. Thanks for providing the extra zoom! I think it looks best at 3x, personally.

How come none of this is going in the game? I'd love to see a game with this kind of look, except perhaps with slightly more contrasting colours on the characters to contrast even better with the background.

I know about the zoom feature, yet the piece was created with a bigger resolution in mind. It's meant to be seen this way, so unless it's prohibitive I'd rather leave it as is, since it's the first impression and my choice of view.
I'll include other resolutions in the description in case anyone is interested on those.

PJ has a zoom feature, so it's better to upload the 1x if you're going to have that be an option anyway. If you prefer the way it looks at 2x, you can always mention that in the description. By having the 2x version uploaded here, it means the zoom feature will always be multiples of 2, so people can't look at it in e.g. 3x or 5x.
