The theme was Tingle, today.

Behold the graphical prowess of the NES!

Yeah, all of this actually works on the original Nintendo. In fact, I've still got two spare palettes left over for new sprite variations, and two backgrounds; so the current mockup could even become more complex without any issues.

It's not perfect by far, no. But I am fairly satisfied with how the building tileset worked out, doesn't quite as square as you'd imagine contemporary games to look. And the sprites aren't half bad either, IMO. But I just ran out of steam and interest and time and so it remains in this state.

I spent too much time on this, anyway, for a relatively small amount of tingle. I also spent an inordinate amount of time getting a nice NES palette. Nothing quite nice enough is out there, IMO, so I tinkered a lot to make one myself. I'll do a write up someday, promise.

(also also, it used to have a grass pattern but it was messy and shit so I got rid of it and you won't get to see it. nyeh.)

Yeah I wanted to do something slightly different from the standard black bar with white letters you see in so many NES games.

And I figured that it wouldn't be that hard to make something like this work. I'm not 100% sure the current design would work great on a NES but I kinda ran out of steam and didn't want to spend too much checking feasibility of it so I just threw it together. On the right side there would be different items to select, like the sword or boomerang. The idea is to have it be integrated a bit better with the character you play, compared to just highscores and icons. Put the role-playing in RPG, so to speak.

I don't know if there's a weekly challenge on Pixeljoint. I made this for a daily challenge thing over on twitter. I can't quite make something every day, but having regular short projects helps keep my skills fresh, and my motivation up.

I would love to play that game if it were real. It looks very charming, and you used the palette very well in my opinion.

Tingle is my favorite character from TLOZ.

Is there any weekly-challenge about Tingle? I'm seeing many pieces of this character lately on pixeljoint, and I was wondering about this possibility.

I like how the health bar is links belt
