Hey everybody.
I have a menu here for a concept of a game. It's suppose to be on the retro side, and along the lines of a 1880's guilded type. xDD Sounds weird I know, I'll just show you. 
Main concern I have: WAYYYYYYYYY too many colors. (Especially the sprite)

...did you draw the sprite? if you did, then i would try to get it to match more in style with the shop. they not only look completely different, but as if they were made by different people ------------- http://ps3trophycard.com/profile/vilocon">

So my thoughts just weren't good enough for you eh? You have to come here and get feedback from people other than a guy who's on the computer 24 hours a day? I have all these guys beat by like an hour! Well we'll talk about this later mister.   ------------- This is not a sig, look away now. Go on, get. |

In my opinion, the menu text/bg reeks of "limited palette" in the sense of... EGA, C64, NES etc. Those systems only had a limited amount of total colors to select from - so you often ended up with "primitive" looking shades and tints. That is mainly what differentiates NES graphics from the Sega Master System, which had a real 3+3+3 bit RGB color space. It's also what makes SNES graphics look more sophisticated than those of the Genesis/Mega drive, because the SNES had 5+5+5 (so 15) bit RGB while the Genesis was stuck with 3+3+3. A four color sprite on the SNES would look much better typically than a four color sprite on the NES, for this reason. I hope you can figure out what I mean. :D Your shop window and the sprite in particular uses these kinds of subtle colors/shades/tints, while the text and background are of the coarser variety, and that is a glaring mismatch to me. Edit: um, I guess it's more the sprite than the shelves and goods. Btw, why do the weapons look like soda cans and foodstuffs? :P |
