Post by: Gradir on Sat 22/10/2016 00:00:27

Hi guys!
I'm making a prologue of a fun-filled point-and-click adventure game set in a world of Pirates and Magic! Arr!
The resolution I went for is 1280x720 so pretty big... I figured out that eventual scaling-down is better than... well you can't scale up really
So... follow me on Twitter or Facebook if You want to get frequent updates on the progress!

I plan to release the prologue demo on 20th of November!
still, lots of work to do.

Here are some work-in-progress pics:

Thanks!

Sure man :)

Look at the cursors!
I didn't have time to make proper ones yet! :P
Well, to be honest, there is a catch or two:
Only two first ones are actual screenshots from AGS, rest are levels in photoshop
Secondly, I'm experimenting with the palette, and really seem to like the mood which gives cutting down the colour number. I haven't decided yet but everything points me to this direction. The workflow for it would be painting it in RGB anyway, and then convert it, keeping the 32-bit alpha on png's.

The actual at the moment look of the graphics is kinda like this:

Looking gorgeous, Gradir.

And the game looks pretty, too. Keep up the good work :-)

This brings a lot of nostalgic feelings! When I got my first PC, my Windows 3.1 was set to 16 colors, so all hi-color/true-color images actually displayed like this. There is some charm to that -- and while it looks off in some places, in others the color transitions and neighboring blobs of color look absolutely stunning (especially in the last two pics).
