[New Screenshots!]Spinjumper's C3 booth! GFX & ToD & Secret Project

GraphicsDemo



Hello there. I finally have something to show here, and I'm super excited for it. I don't have too much, and I'm still working on getting stuff ready, so check back later on!

Now I don't have musical talents or ASM skills, but unless I've been victim to a rather convoluted prank, I think I can do fairly well with the visual side of things. I've created a fair bit of graphics for my hack with the ambition of creating 100% original graphics. I'd like to release a few of those to you guys. I'll be releasing more of these later when I have a bit more time.
Super Duper Extra Secret Project Screenshots





This is a side thing I started working on at the start of the week. I've got gameplay mechanics and shit all fleshed out and everything, and I've started building the aesthetics of a level here. Tell me what you think.
(No, this won't interfere with Tower of Disarray.)

GFX


Give credit to me if you use any of these. These take time to make! Also, make your own palettes! The ones provided are templates.

Grassland


Really flexible grass tileset. Not much to say, really.

Download here > Woah it's a download link!


Expect more here later!

Tower of Disarray Demo
Apparently highly anticipated. Here are some screenshits (Some changes have been made since these were taken.)




Download > Here!

Keep in mind that this is still super unfinished and has a ton of (mostly graphical) bugs. I tried to clean it up for you folks as much as possibled, though.



I'll be updating this as I get more stuff ready for release. I have a number of GFX planned, as well as the demo for Tower of Disarray.

HOLY CRAP

You might want to include a sample level with those graphics. Beyond that, everything looks pretty cool, and I'd probably try the demo once it's ready.

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.
Alright, folks, I have the demo ready. Get it HERE or in the OP.

That was very enjoyable. I played a few levels and they flowed quite nicely.

Though, I wished this hack used sampled ports (or at least very impressive unsampled ones) instead of unsampled. I think the sounds of the ports you used doesn't give justice to the atmosphere of the stages (and the pretty graphics) and that's kind of underwhelming. The sawmill and water stage are a good example of it.
I played the demo, and I have only two complaints: I think the levels are too long, and what you can interact with and what you can't isn't clear. I died a few times because of that.
Also, the lightning and water (when the lightning hits them) don't always kill you. They hurt you only for one frame.

Can you give me an example of when it wasn't clear what you could interact with?

Here is a few of them.
Man I've never even heard of you. I kinda gave up on WIP after an onslaught of uninteresting hacks. Nice to see that there's stuff like these still being made! I'm really loving the aesthetic, btw. The enemies could use some work though. They kinda stick out. Mario too, hopefully you make some graphics for him as well. Keep up the good work! I'll try this out some time.

Thanks. I put a lot of effort into aesthetics and I'm glad that's paying off. And don't worry about the sprite GFX, I'll get to them. I'll admit, though, I'm not quite as proficient with sprite GFX as I am with tilesets.

Anyways, speaking of aesthetics, I want opinions on these screenshots.

Those graphics look a lot different from those previously shown. What gives!?

Keen eye. Yes indeed, these graphics would clash horribly in Tower of Disarray. This is because they are for an entirely separate "soup or secret" project.

Does this mean you're abandoning Tower of Disarray?

Hell no, man! This second project I have going is just going to give me a way to express things I can't in ToD. It's more of a "Me" project, something I wanted to do for a while now. I'm not gonna go into any more details, but keep an eye out for when I officially reveal it in the coming weeks.

Oh, and I will get a background going later, so please reserve any complaints about the foreground not contrasting well enough.

Looks nice, loving the cave-story-ish feel, also this pallete seems to be perfect fot these graphics.
By the way, how long does it take to draw one tileset, this one for example? Keep up the great work.
Check out my new hack thread:

It really depends. If I already have an idea of what I want, I can crank out a tileset in a few hours, plus a bit more time to go back and add things I forgot when I build the Map 16. It can take a bit longer when I'm not quite sure, though. The mountain tileset in Tower of Disarray had to be totally redone. Originally it had a 3d-ish cube pattern to it, instead of the angled lines you see now.
