Paged, and needs to be seen.

(I shouldn't animate stuff when I'm low on time, this clearly lack luster; feel free to edit at will)

a3um >> This rafflesia and chest are lovely. And the ground tiles look really clean, keep going!

surt >> Insane. Love it, it's really game-like.

I think Surt's map might be like an overworld type thing. (?) Not sure though.

It's a sketched concept, so yes.

A game needs more objects to interact with :P
 
This mushroom would be some kind of spring allowing the player to jump higher.
It's rather unrefined so if anyone wants to, please edit :)

- This is awesome! should take this approach! :D -

Hello All,

I would like to work with these tiles in a game engine, but kindly ask if there can be a store where the tiles are placed so it can be used more easily!?!

Best regards from
M.E.

That is looking good to me Icey.

I'm working on a sloth (for fandom reasons) and have drawn an Aztec-y jaguar warrior (which I dislike because it doesn't quite fit the style of the other characters).

Uploads coming soon.

I love the water <3<3<3 Wonder what it would look like animated.

Aaaarrrghh!!! I accidentally hit delete on my post.....

Edit: Ok, recovered my post by hitting the back arrow a few times.

Beehive and a lantern.


Also, how does everyone feel about having a public Google Drive folder to store completed tiles? All files are viewable and downloadable by anyone, but must have a Google account to upload images, which we can only allow certain people to upload, or leave it open for anyone. Also, you can download the Google Drive desktop app to have a local folder that syncs all files.

I went ahead and set one up so everyone can see how it would work. Also, I went ahead and split up a3um's awesome terrain into tiles, which I included with a few other tile sets I uploaded to Google Drive.

Well apparently we were working in parallel as I also tuned a whole bunch of the work done thus far into usable tiles. Note that these were designed for my game mockup which is currently functioning on 1 layer so there is a bunch of overlap that could be eliminated by having multiple layers. I made only minor adjustments to have better transitions an a greater ability to interchange tiles.



Here is a screenshot of these tiles working on a single layer in game.



PS: Special thanks to Craftypixel and Squirrelsquid for the amazing additions to the tileset. I basically redid all my tiles just to include this stuff.

I'd go with tile variant 2 ( the edit) and with the original character style.
I like the more realistic proportioned one, as a sprite.
But I think for a "general generic jump n run game", the body features are too defined, personal, and not generic enough.
Also the "boxier" characters are more cute, and thuse more suited for a broad audience.

I've continued tweaking the tile sets, and went ahead and threw together a mockup with Pyxel Edit. I have uploaded the tile sets in PNG format with transparent backgrounds, as well as Pyxel Edit tilesets. Pyxel Edit tile sets are under "Other > Pyxel Edit Tile Sets". I'm going to continue to add tiles to the sets as I have time.

That's amazing water Squirrel.

Hey M.E., all of the items uploaded to the Google Drive should already be spaced out into 32x32 tiles. I wouldn't say that anything currently uploaded is a final tile set, it's just something to play with. Which tiles are you referring to as the "background" tiles? Also, how many different layers are you working with? This knowledge will make it a lot easier on us to know how to combine tiles.

Edit: Also, I played around and started working on a basic soundtrack. It's still need quite a bit of re-recording and mastering, but I just wanted to throw some of it out there. It is in the Google Drive under Other > Sountrack.

Edit: Edit: Ugghhh.... I just realized that the beat in the Jungle Beat I made is very nearly a recreation of the music used in Donkey Kong Country. Bird chirping and all.

I think you might have old versions of files.

Current files uploaded to Jungle Set > Completed > Tiles
objectstrans - 224x96
environmenttrans - 192x192
terrwainwatertrans - 288x320
templetrans - 128x192

Here is my start on some sloped tiles. I started with the dirt tiles because I thought they would likely work better. Obviously I only textured the first one, but if anyone is willing to help out it would be greatly appreciated. Sloped tiles are severely underused it platformers and I think this project could benefit by including them.

Here's my first pass at an animation for Ellian's jungle cat:

8 frames, 80ms exposure.

I certainly wouldn't mind critiques/suggestions. :)

Hello,

The current status:

- (internal) Multiple player-charasterics : bird-flight, jump&Run, no-jump, fight or ignore
- Scene switching
- (internal) Inventory system -> select item you need to advance later
- push or fight or transparent : Change characteristic of enemies dynamicly (fight or ignore)
- Navigate to scenes, doors, areas
- Point & Click

The direction of the game will be very broad as there will be very different graphical designers.
One wants to fight - skill-like , others want puzzle games and others want an adventure.

While waiting for tiles, assets and animations to come I'm using rough placeholders and
examine the effects the graphics has on the different devices.

Again only flash and android at the moment:

hey jim could u help me with this one?
i am not so good with pixel art

Edited by guima1901 - 25 June 2013 at 10:13pm

That bridge is beautiful! The rope might be a bit overdetailed though, would it work as a single color?

I would really like you to cut out the single, repeatable tiles :). You could even add them to the wiki yourself!

Is the rope better?

Edited by guima1901 - 26 June 2013 at 10:14am

Of course foreground tiles would need to be seperated from the background tiles in order to be usable..

Guima, the rope looks 'better' on the more detailed version, however it is most important that they are consistent with the chosen style. It is for that reason that I suggest a flat color as in Jim's edit.

@all:
Ohh, this topic requires some cleaning up. I am coming to help out soon!

Nice bridge.

Unfortunately it isn't 32x32 pixels at the moment and it appears that there are mixed background colors going on.

If the base of the bridge are seperate tiles from the top I should be able to let the user walk on it as long as it doesn't curve to much.
If the ropes are on different tiles I can have it on a different layer and let it appear in front of the actor. Hopefully this will look '3D' like as you want!

Best regards from

M.E.
