Weekly Challenge: Binary Stars
This is so awesome! I love that it's similar to the Star Wars poster, but different enough to be its own thing.
Much appreciated! Would love to see a pixel art LBA game some day. I saw someone start an LBA pixel art platformer once, but it was never finished.
I really love this game. And you did a very nice job with the pixelling!
Thanks for the feedback, Manupix! Yeah, I knew this was going to be difficult to pull off within a week. And unfortunately, I guess this was a busy week for everyone, because there was very little activity in the WIP thread.
I definitely see what you mean about the yellow energy beams. I suppose they should have more white in them. Like this.
Ambitious piece =)
The main issue is that the beams look solid metal instead of light, because they are not the brightest thing around (contrary to the SW poster).
@vrine: Thanks, I started out doing it, but then forgot about it as the deadline grew closer. I've added some AA now.
@Voltali obscur: Thanks. Using so many different colours definitely made it harder to make this smooth, but I desperately wanted to include those hilarious WW1-esque soldiers and I felt I needed a bit of pink / purple to make Zoé recognisable.
I almost wish I had more time and space, because it would have been nice to do a Funfrock / Dark Monk silhouette in the stars, kind of like Darth Vader here. At this size, it just felt too crowded to pull off.
Although some places might need some more intermediary colors (like as vrine pointed out, on the lightbeam for instance) I think you've done well considering the colors limitation - especially since LBA universe is quite colorful and that you pictured various elements from it :)
As said on the forum, really nice take on the references. This piece will definitely get one of my votes! <3
I really like this! You've done a great job CELS!
I feel the beams of light could use some AA though, just to make it a bit smoother.
One of the best games EVER.
Thanks a lot! :)
