So its currently in an early WIP stage, and lacking the zombies, but I'm starting to get that post-apocolyptic vibe down at the moment.  Started out as a small sprite of me with a bat, then I finally decided to do something with it.  So far I've only used the colors found in the character, not sure if I want to expand the palette or keep those extreme restrictions (12 colors).  Comments/criticism?

keep in mind this is far from complete.

Finished? version:

Damn you... I'm Canadian and there's more colour in Canada hence the extra "u"

Nice - I like it so far. Sort of reminds me of Shaun Of The Dead.. I await the next update. 

Ah, yes, Canada.  Where the brilliant white of the snow is occasionally broken by the brown fur of a moose or bold red of a mountie's jacket.  Only kidding, of course.  And on behalf of all Americans I would like to thank you for Pamela Anderson.  Anyway, back to the matter at hand.  Here's a small  update, since I'll be out of town for a few days and I will probably be unable to work on it.  The cop turned out good, in my opinion, but the dead guy still needs some work.  I added (1) more kuller.  I hope this satisfies the public's bloodlust for the time being.

keep in mind the places and positions of existing persons and objects is not final.

Hell, I've barely got the skills for a mockup.  My computer skills extend no further than Paint and Wordpad.  How's a text based game sound?

oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy... continue.

Brilliant  The trail of blood behind the poilce zombie is superb. Greta thing is to me, the move-able-ish charaacters have a black outline, which just makes them stand out, and I really like it. the miniture stlye and detail you fit in is just amazing.

PS _ I want an obese zombie

lookin nice, make chunks of the building completely impaled, like holes in the buildings

Fcucking awesome pallette. dont have any crits just dont unfinish it.

Diggin it so far, ThereIsNoCure, but I can't help but feel the car doesn't match the people. The black outline of the characters makes me feel like the car should also be outlined- as it currently looks much less cartoony than the people.

Lovin' the palette and the little detailed textures here and there aswell

Perhaps space 'Slick' and 'Ed's' further apart, or write slick in a different font. At first I read it as 'Slicked's Pawn and Jewelry.'

The car always looked good, an outline just seems to match character sprites better in my head. Nice work.

Lucky you, I've UPDATED:

I've started work on the alleyway, just to let everyone know it hasn't been neglected, and busted up the windows on the left as well. The zombie officer's right leg has been moved up, and the hero has a slightly different stance.  Please feel free to point out any negative changes I have made, and I'll be sure to fix them.

Thanks, iSTVAN, wasn't sure how that smashed glass would work out.  The rat seems to be a reoccuring character, I think this is his third scene I've pixeled.  Maybe he should be my personal mascot.

@Shark: Was he an illustrator? I think I recall something about an illustrator by the name of Graeme Base putting mice into his picture books. Or atleast one of them,'the 11th Hour' and lots of frogs in his dragon book.

Enough mindless chit-chat! It's update time! (Please hold all aplause until the end of the post):

Theres probably not too much more work to be done, its finally nearing completion.  And so, it is now time to critique the hell out of it.

Maybe a few ratzombies crawling out of a sewer?

The shadow that is casted over the looks to be wrong, I'm sure the that wall would cover if not all, most of the dumpster

that sidewalk tile 2 in from the left could use a strom drain methinks.

holdng it just reaching out.
*w00t hot dogs
*not tooo keen on the highlights on the points of the glass any ways to
make them less bright but still highlighted?

Demon strikes again!

But yeah, sorry if i havent posted before, although i have been following this quite closely. Looking great, quite alot of the crits i would have made have already been mentioned. Perhaps later i'll have more time to critisise.

Keep it upp.

no dead hooker in the alleyway? :(.

I love this thread, don't end it . Let it live forever like a zombie thread
