Decided to have a fully animated, 8-direction moving character

Thank you all

Any further suggestions are welcome, and i will post new images/gifs when i have them. Currently thinking of whether i will go with the original story adaptation, or the expanded-new story.

Very very early phase of another room: (in case i go with my second plan, anyway

)

Virtually everything is subject to change here, although i am happy with the De-Chirico style hallway and space arrangement

Right side of the room will have a few furniture, eg book-shelves, one or two chairs, some object in the foreground, maybe other decorative stuff. There will be 6-7 people in the room, along with the player. Supposed to be an earlier stage of the game. Lighting will be a lot more potent later on as well.

Still very far from finished, and the lighting has a serious issue currently (red dotted fall-out on the ceiling

), but what do you think of this room at the moment?

The ceiling might have fallout, but the carpet is definitely radioactive!

^Lol, yes

It is a persian carpet, and they are after such technology

Any suggestions to alter things on the room? It is very far from reaching a final form anyway

Am I the only one who's wondering why the top half is pitch black?
Or rather; why have a square ratio when you're not using half the screen height?

That ratio will be kept only if a later part of the game features the tall room shown already

If i keep the ratio then i will use it to present different parts of the house with it, eg the corridor can expand mostly vertically, while the living room there is horizontal mostly.

Why not just scroll down for effect when the player enters the tall rooms, and keep the whole thing at something more standard? 320x200, or 640x400 if you blow things up a bit.

I don't think it's particularly ugly, but I do think it'll feel weird mousing over space that's unused for most of the time.

I am considering that too, although it is more impressive if the tall rooms can be seen in one screen (imo). I will have to rethink it once i have all the rooms (at least 6, living room-kitchen-bath-bedroom-balcony-nightmare rooms).

More realistically 8-9, including the corridor, balcony part b and a second nightmare room.

Moreover, IF the 500X500 stays (tall rooms etc), then most of the upper half will be used for various graphics, eg a room map or more elaborate dialogue menus and so on. But it is not decided upon yet

A bit of animation

(room needs work, but animation goes ok... )

Preview of the walking cycle (needs cleaning + here it is shown on a background, but in-game it will have transparency)

Do you like it? The legs will be a bit more lifted/tilted at times by the end. Shoes likely will show more (colour change). The person has fallen, so he has a bit of a limp too.
