Work for cellphone game. A more colorful version of this with the tiles crunched a bit down was eventually used. Doing water tiles without opacity is a pain. I enjoy the ambience though!

Rad!

Is there a chance you can find out what happened to this game?

How is called?

I would love to play it, thanks

Very impressive stuff...

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/24/2016 02:37

No, I didn't (it's a png as far as I can tell). This is also close to ten years old. Please don't call people cunts.

Everytime i see some kiddo from this generation shit about "pixel art is shit. it'll disappear soon", i remember this piece and notice how wrong that cunt is.

Note: man, why did you save the image as a JPG image? T.T

This palette is amazing, the stones have such subtle and rich tones.. Wonderful job!

You did read my mind Stickman - Rick Dangerous was also popping in my head seeing this marvelous piece!

Stickman (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 12/9/2009 12:03

Nice. Like a high res version of Rick Dangerous.

What game was this used for? The style looks similar to the prototype I've seen of your new Umlaut Games project.

Love the cthulhu style squid head statues :)

Very ancient egypt nice

TomF (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/18/2008 01:17

These are awesome. I always love the detail and sexy colours you put into your work.

i like this a lot - i find nothing wrong about the water, it looks cold and the gradient gives a feel of depth. also i like the warm/cold-contrast between the light / statues and the tiles.

Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) @ 9/17/2008 12:33

It's absolutely superb. I love the palette.

KwIjL (Level 5 Captain) @ 9/17/2008 01:23

I like the dark colors :D

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 9/15/2008 17:28

Big brother, just the Jones-alike dude jumping you saw, but I am adverse to posting a whole moveset.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) @ 9/15/2008 12:57

My panties just got moist.

Do you have any sprites for this?

macula (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/15/2008 08:10

Wow what great textures.

iLKke (Level 9 Nidan) @ 9/15/2008 05:03

Gold is a nice contrast to the rest of the colors. Some tiles just don't make much sense tho, and look more like from a block stacking game. Also, water should be a lot darker to sit well, imo.

shmupstick (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 9/14/2008 00:27

Lots of Gods about this. Or rather how Gods would have looked if Dan Malone would have done it.

Love it to death!

Great job, i'd love to play a game that looks this great.

HMC (Level 7 General Manager) @ 9/13/2008 20:00

This is excellent. I agree with the comments about the water, but the colors and the details on the stones are beautiful. Great work.

Helm (Level 5 Detective) @ 9/13/2008 19:36

I agree, the water should have definitely been darker, Indigo. I wish you'd have given me this critique when I was making it, heh. The company is the Russia-based as far as I can tell, Visual Media. He was wonderful to work with besides a bit of language barrier. Prompt on payment and specific in his revision suggestions. I am unaware of the current fate of the game, I made these about... a year ago. http://vm-mobile.com/eng/

Indigo (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 9/13/2008 19:32

Very lovely tileset. I think the water could have had a better effect being darker than the foreground tiles (to elude to being semi-transparent to the dark background tiles), but its pointless naming critiques since it has already been published. Speaking of which - could you link to the company/game?

Darth Mandarb (Level 10 Operative) @ 9/13/2008 19:31

I love the torch light on the walls and I agree with you about the ambience. The water is a little odd looking but as you said, with no opacity it's tough (still looks good though!)

great job
