Melon Head; a fantastical adventure in a delirious imaginary world - RELEASED!

[ThreeOhFour]

This kind of surreal vibe feels like it fits the dithered EGA palette aesthetic super well, great stuff.

Thanks so much for the compliment @ThreeOhFour ! 

The saturation of the EGA-palette is so off the charts that it really brings to life all the patterns adorning the surfaces around the game, the buildings especially. I suppose the limitation encourages unconventional choices in coloring too which likely adds to the surrealness that's already in the world of the game.

The release is close at hand so I got all nostalgic. Imagine this, Melon Head started off as an isometric project! I took a little gameplay vid of the prototype:

I thought it would take ages to craft detailed graphics for an environment like that so I switched the art style, but it looks kinda cool.

I love this!! A shame you had to abandon the old vision for the project, so thanks for sharing the video. It looks fantastic.

@RootBound I'm happy you like it!

It's nice to show it to people so it's not just in the dark crevices of my computer.    It was worthwhile and exciting to practice drawing from that perspective and who knows if I'll make a smaller scale isometric game in the future!
