Experimenting with creating these style tiles.  Will append more when I have the time.

I like the look... but I have to say, I find it really difficult to see what the character sprite is supposed to be. Like, I think I can see ears and what might possibly be eyes, but in general, it looks like it's a high quality sprite that got shrunken down to the point where I can't tell what it is anymore, rather than a sprite actually built to be recognizable at that size.

[Koh]

I twas drawn at that size, but I guess I am trying to squeeze a bit too much of the lightsource shading I did on the hi-res sprite on it.

 

 

I know it can be done, but I may have went too dark for the lo-res version.

Tah-dah.  Yes, there will be a bigger size tree.  This was just testing the graphical switch.

I gotta say, I really like it. I can actually tell what's going on now and it just looks really good in general. Forgive my ignorance, but it this actually going to be used for something, or just sprite practice?

Why does the grass have more detail than the trees?

I really like how you made the second version so much better (and the first was great already)! So great job!

[Koh]

Thanks~

Yes, indeed this all shall.  It's practice, and to be used for one of the projects I'm working on with my partner.

It seems about the same to me.  The grass only uses 2 colors on the regular tile, both low and hi res.

I think you should use big SNES style trees rather than dinky tiled trees. They make the grass look like shag carpet.

A little failed experiment on doing "light-source is blocked!" shading in a 16x16 space.  My default light source is always the middle top left.

 

[Koh]

I'm actually amazed at how much detail I can get in with the use of just 3 colors here.  I imagine a Newfirst version of this would look surpreme.

Maybe I'm a lo-res kinda person, because all the sprites you do in lo-res I end up preferring the most... even though you didn't make the original GB Link tiles, of course.

[Koh]

This is why in the projects I'm working on, I'm having it served as an option.  It appeases both worlds~

I don't know where I'm going with this. But I like it.

[Shane]

I love it. But what's up with the floors?
