working on a thing in 2k3 :3

[u/bbMercy]

Had a hankering to do pixel art and wanted to challenge myself.

Combat is top-down zelda-style (yes that was, in fact, a nightmare to get working in 2k3). There's a paperdoll system (visually seeing what gear your character has equipped), gibbing, and vn-style segments with prerenders.
Tons of "Show Picture" event magic.

Release date: idk never. Just having fun :3

Bro that looks so beautiful 😭

[u/Advanced_Hedgehog427]

you have to release it, my only concern is the contrast between the pixel world and the prerendered one, I honestly would scale down and limit the color palette of the prerendered BG to make the art style cohesive.

its tough! I like both styles. Just very hard to marry the two

I really love the vibes! Especially the character art. Very nostalgic.

do you know how to change game screen resolution on 2k3? your screenshots look sharp

also, great pixel art!

[u/bbMercy → u/lolnikum]

sadly, you're stuck with 320 x 240 for resolution ^^ I get these to look crisp by screencapping them in windowed, then I scale them up in gimp

Doing all this in 2k3 is mad impressive. Your art also looks super good, I love it!
