Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.

Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.

If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.

Still doing cinematics.

It still requires a lot of drawing of new assets, and I just put in that Mode 7 effect for later cutscenes.

As part of the process, I learned that my new dialogue-scrolling system isn't perfect. It's possible to break it if you can push the button faster than humanly possible.

I guess I'd better dig out the Turbo controller for further testing.

I just scanned in some artwork. I do a lot of hand-drawing for reference, but there is a bit of a gap between the hand-drawn stuff and the pixel art.

Again, I hand-draw with my left, and do pixels with my right.

First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.

For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.

Concept art time!

Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.

Shocking.

Positively shocking.

Once again, I felt like compiling a font I made into a sheet.

Why? So YOU can use it and modify it, and so you won't get sued by Monotype for using Arial in a commercial project.

Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
