Extreme Fangame Makeover
Posted 23rd Aug 09, by vertigoelectric  
Well, I don't know if I would call it "extreme", but I decided to stop being so lazy with level design and gave Area 02 a major makeover. No, I didn't change the existing layout and traps, but I did completely change the look and the music as well. I think it looks a TON better!

I've attached a screenshot to give you an idea of what it looks like now, but be sure to download beta 11e to see and hear it all:

Nothing has changed in Area 01, so if you still have your saves from the last beta download, you should be able to use them with this one so you can skip to Area 02, if you like.

I've also switched back to the softer, more peaceful Game Over music.

Edit: Okay, I adjusted the coloring a little it THIS TIME due to Jon C-B's comment and uploaded a new screenshot.

Looks nice, but is it a conscious choice to mix resolutions? Player + spikes being at 1x and other backdrops being 2x size?

Looks nice but the character and the spikes don't really go with the ground

jthongbai - Mix resolutions? I don't know what you're talking about...

Jon C-B - They don't need to...

Is the room with the smile the last one?

i cant see the picture

If you see the yellow smiley face then you've seen all I've designed so far.

I fixed the broken image link. Not sure what happened there.

I still have no idea what jthongbai was talking about.


I've given Area 01 a makeover now, too, but I'm not devlogging it yet...

the graphics don't blend well, some look stretched other look smaller, it's as if every sprite has a different scale. Also there are several graphical styles thrown in there, for example, the tiles look very C64-ish, while the spikes and the character look like they were drawn in paint in less than a minute. I'd advise you to look for someone to draw the graphics for you.

Don't get this the wrong way, I'm trying to help.

Good luck !
