My OC with the gamejolt palette! (repost)

This cat is also the main character for a game I'm working on (Time Tomias).

The colours where fun to mess with, and even had to pick the colours wisely to make the character feel right!

Artwork Development

The sketch

Started with a simple sketch, so I could make the linework

The lines

I had to plan on what colours I should use, since the palette is limited and some og colours aren't present on that palette!

I decided to make the outlines lighter than the fur colour (kinda like the Sonic Battle artstyle), so it wouldn't look too weird.

I had some issues with the gun glove tho, I already started filling the colours and there was no colour that would fit the glove (I didn't use blue because the shirt was going to be blue too), so I changed that specific outline to the darkest colour in the palette so I could use the green from the other outlines to fill it next.

Filling the colours

I was going to fill the eyes with black from the palette, but it looked kinda weird, so I went with the own outline's colour instead, and it looked so much better!

Final results

I haven't used one colour from the palette, so I made a laser with that colour (the lasers are actually lime green on the og colours! So it was a pretty good fit).

And then I put the title for his upcoming game, I picked magenta since I only used it on the nose.

Why did I yapp so much just for this art? Well, I just like to show my progress and how I surpassed the difficulties I've found on the way!

Wanted to try adding a small feature, it ended up turning into a death battle against bugs that kept getting more bugged after every fix (it was like cutting hydra heads)

The game also crashed a few times... but it's stable now!

The MANY changes I did

@jackalocked12

VERTICAL LEVEL!

Here you have to go up instead to the sides to complete the level (the jump mechanics work much better in this level format!)

This might or might not replace the existing horizontal (normal) levels.

Preview of the 1st level's final tiles (W.I.P)

I made some changes to the tileset itself too (and might make more).

Art that I made for my game during the #Devruary challenge!

I didn't got to post these directly to the game page, so here's a post with most of them there!

@jackalocked20

So I was adding a new screenshot to my game's game page (on the "Design" tab), I deleted one image since I didn't need it there anymore and then after I saved it ALL the images in the page got scrambled or something!

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

@jackalocked11

Remaking the first level! (Tile set not final)

Some of the feedback I got previously pointed out that the current level design felt too boring/empty, so now I'll remake the existing levels and change some aspects of the overall level design of the game.
