The Resource WIP Thread 3 This thread is meant for users who are creating, or editing their own resources, to post their work-in-progress (abbreviated to WIP) and get feedback on their work such as criticism, advice or simple comments. If you have any game screenshots or maps to show off (including video trailers), please post them in the Game & Map Screenshot Thread. This is not the thread to look for resources - anything posted in this thread cannot be used!

When posting your WIP in this thread, please remember that you allow other members to edit that work for criticism. 3. Any work posted in here is not up for grabs and it solemnly belongs to the original creator. Yes, this means you cannot use any resources posted here for yourself, unless it is meant for giving criticism.

Please refrain from re-posting your work, unless you've made some edits on it since the last time you posted it. If no one has commented on your work, and it has fallen behind by at least 2 pages, feel free to repost it then. 7. If you have a lot of work to show, please put them behind in spoiler tags! If you want to quote someone's work, I recommend to simply refer to them by name @Username, or to put the quoted work in spoiler tags. This prevents the thread from cluttering up too much.

@FirelordMaria it's a bit barren/empty and uniform, also the trees seem really small compared to the houses.
It does however feel very wintery so you got the right athmosphere already :)

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try adding more types of trees and props to see it if gives it a little bit of variety :)

@FirelordMaria I dig the simplicity! You done well on them trees, and I don't mind the size discrepancy at all. Actually, the more I look at it, the more fitting it looks. What I'd do differently, however, is the snowman. He seems to be drawn at a different resolution from his surroundings, so I dunno... he sticking out like a sore thumb, to be honest. :biggrin:

At first I tried to make him more detailed but you're right, he doesn't match with the rest :/

I think for doing battle music for any game because I'm going to let someone have this theme in their game but the thing is...is this battle music good? plz comment if you want this in your game and you like it. https://www.beepbox.co/#8n31sbk3l00...-5CXCnFEZ1dMuzjpuJgCLUOac005dT-0CU_2UJw71cA00

Sounds more like a boss/final boss song than a normal battle, and also reminds me more of something like a horror RPG than your standard fantasy game.

It's not a bad song...I just don't think it really fits a battle theme...it sounds more like a haunted church/castle...or a scene where the vilain is monologing and stuff...usually a battle is more agitated...

Thanks for the comment...again you can use this music in any way but I want it to be a battle theme.

@Bendyizzt I actually moved both your posts to the WIP thread. It’s where any resources you are creating and wanting feedback on go. Art, Literature and Music is for non-game dev related works.

Soo, y'all know what the battlebacks in the original NES Final Fantasy II look like?

Imma show ya

I was gonna copy that style for my game, and I did some landscape paintin', and I liked that. But when I tried to draw some indoor battlebacks, I was like, "Oh lawd, I suck." I put together some mock-ups for y'all:

Alice attempts battlebacks...

Out of these, I kinda like the grey-and-red dungeon, but the others I'm like... nnnaaaawww... So maybe some kind soul out there can help me? What should I do to make my indoor battlebacks better?

Like in my source material, I'm basically making 32x32 tiles that I copy along the top of the screen, which is where I get that copy-pasted look... Also yeah, tryina limit myself to three colours (plus white and black).

I've been doing a lot more pixel art lately for my game, since it's basically the last thing in my to-do list right now. I really want to finish the third floor's furniture, so I've been working on that. Here's what I've done lately, any critique is appreciated.

Art!

The first image is some of the furniture I've made. Starting from the bottom-left and going clockwise, there is: a medieval stone washing basin, an oak washtub, an oak door, some Roman-styled toilets, made of Yew, a Guard (haven't drawn the clothing yet lol, and the player-character.

The second image contains different rugs I've made.

@Robert-Character Creator, oh, rugs, I loooove rugs! :biggrin: The patterns look awesome, and the palette is spot on! The corners on the smaller rug look a bit funky though, not sure what it is? Maybe the corner & side embellishments break the unity of the pattern and the border, it looks a bit distracting on the eyes? Could you maybe try a simplified version without the embellishments, with just a plain grey border? Just a suggestion!

EDIT: Oh wait, the smallest one, with the moonlight landscape, that's a rug too? I thought it wuz a painting! :biggrin:

Well, the smaller rug is actually based on a page from the Lindisfarne Gospels, so those corners are part of the design. Here:

Yeah, the smallest rug is a rug. Many rugs in medieval times had scenes depicted on them, though mostly these were hung on the wall and referred to as tapestries.

@Robert-Character Creator, oh, I see! I appreciate the research bit! Personally, I would still skip the corner and side embellishments, because when pixelated, too much detail is lost... but if you want to stick with the historical accuracy, I can accept that too. :biggrin:
