Your image turned out incredibly detailed. I like that you used a sprite-approach although you were limited to tiles rather than sprites. I also like that we can see the influences of your previous studies in tile-based artworks, like the teletext stuff, and the practice you have with limited color palettes. It all came together really nicely!
@BJGpixel11 ай бұрын
Thanks for noticing! That was exactly the line of thought; to have everything organized as if they were in fact sprite assets - all that's left to do would be to isolate those things and add some animation 🤔✨

I recently released a short narrative game with GB Studio, "The Ocean, Like Time", and I found the Gameboy style to be so charming! It was so fun to work within its limits and make hardware-accurate pixel art! I found the limits usually pushed me to make better art. The only limitation I didn't like was how hard it was to make background images animated!

This is amazing, I love how there's so much detail you can get out of the gameboy palette if you know how to use it properly!
@nowonmetube11 ай бұрын
Well sure, you have 4 shades of green (or on the greyscale). More than enough to generate pixel art.
@laroldsjubilantjunkyard11 ай бұрын
That's really cool! You're art is great, even when 8-bit. You should definitely think about collab'ing with some Game Boy Homebrew devs. It'll be good content for your channel, exposure for the game boy homebrew community, a lot of fun, and feel good to have a actual game.

The pirate cat is such a fun character design! This video makes me feel inspired to try some of these jams, especially seeing how quickly this one came together. I suppose that's the nature of these things but seeing the process is a nice reminder! I've always appreciated the idea of being part of something bigger in these events 😁 I liked seeing the technical challenge presented by the tile count in this jam, even though it seems that wasn't an issue in your case! 👾
@BJGpixel11 ай бұрын
Thanks! 😸 And yeah it was quite refreshing to work within the scenario of a Jam; the upside of the time constraint is that it forces you to make stylistic decisions pretty fast - also pretty motivating to know that there's a bunch of other people working toward a similar thing at that same moment ✨
