For dithering, there's always DepthDither, which is free.

So if your crippled Photoshop can handle plugins, this might be an option.

Deluxe Paint 2e:  Borders and Patterns

Because of the recent indy games discussion I felt like I should re-release this one


Indy gets lost in Schloss Brunwald. He realizes, that he can only leave this chamber, if he can rescue a certain celebrity...

You might need Dosbox for this one.

Get it from here

Guidelines from back then:
- One room (CRM file)
- Any number of characters or objects
- A photographic image of a famous celebrity!

however I am aware that people get a bit wary when two different methods of illustration are used in a single game.

If you're background are getting crisp enough, I don't see a problem. However I don't care much about visible brush strokes in fullscreen

I'd like to add Neole - for still hosting that upload space and for making 2Dadventure.com ages ago.

Also Ben and Sebastian for teaming up with me and Jens, Stalwart and Miez for their DeluxePaint / Pixel Art tutorials.

Hey 1$, this actually very nice (girls might say cute). Does this disc still work? As soon as I started draw a fancy sticker for my first adventure, the disc had read/write errors. So the disc is the only thing left of my first (text)adventure.

PS: I should really rename this thread

Still I wonder why DP stays that popular. It's not that the Autodesk Animator Pro hadn't had it's moments, for example it's usage in the Feeble Files.

Anyway, excellent work and I really enjoy, looking at Dpaint backgrounds in that quality. Btw. why not opening a dpaint-shrine thread - there's a lot of material floating around this board, why not concentrating it ?

You're really doing this with deluxe paint  :o
You know, like no layers, only one undo and such?!
Wow

If you work with layers and lock your transparent pixels before shading, it's not too hard.
His rim light is pretty neat though

You ....! 

Another neat feature would be to make the characters dynamic 

So forum members could upload a character to a pool and the webserver creates a new banner on a per day base (or shorter if traffic and cpu-power allow it)

Maybe somekind of approval board would also be necessary, so we won't see tons of viagra pills on the banner

Nevermind, I've found it here:

Thanks anyway and also thanks for that Screenshot, Ghost.

Cool, thanks a lot! As of today I've only used custom patterns and filled them - lets see, how this brush thing works

As for the tutorial, I was looking for. It was something cobble stone related with seamless tiles. I think the author was filling the road in front of the scumm bar with it, but I'm not sure.

Another art related thing...

how do you conveniently texture big structures like a cobblestone road. I think there was a tutorial around, but I can't find it anymore.

Oh and yes, pixel art hints are preffered

[Next:]

Now that's a stupid filler...



Next: Where's Waldo/Wally Krueger ?

Finally I've found some time to finish this too.

Very well done and all my thumbs up for this one! It reminds a lot at those gobliiins games from Cocktail Vision, back in the 90s.

Oh and about Kult: From the atmosphere, Kult has been top notch, but after finishing the trials, it was just unlogic, unfair and almost impossible to beat.

Cool, thank you!!

Sorry for digging this up - just wanted to say hi as well.

Oh and is there a mirror for Richard Longhurst somewhere? I'll trade it in for your first avatar pic 

Next: Perry Rhodan VS. Jimi Hendrix

So that's a floppy too?  :o
