Happy Talontine - Update


Much as with Halloween, I’ve created a new palette for the Holiday that celebrates chocolates, hearts, owls, and switch-based block puzzles. (See above)
So, I’ve added that and 37 other new palettes. :)


New stuff

  • Added 38 new pallets, listed below. (Bringing the total to 112 palettes, I think.)

  • Palette names are now displayed as you rotate through them.

  • Palette group names are displayed before each grouped set of palettes.

  • Visual updates in a variety of places. Notably, leaf-ified the vines in Jungle (7), and added a lot to the raggedy tree in Slates (9).


New General Palettes

  • Water Level

  • Owl Mittens

  • Sky Haze (new version)

  • Dusty Saloon

  • Intermediate-falutin’ Saloon

  • High-falutin’ Saloon

  • Fancy Chocolates

  • Mortal

  • Cobalt 60

  • Talonvines Day

  • Harrow


New Software & Site Palettes

  • GameJolt

  • GameJolt Green

  • Scirra


New Descent Palettes

(Palettes loosely based on Descent-y stuff.)

  • Lunar Outpost

  • Class 1 Drone

  • Class 2 Drone

  • Small Hulk

  • Medium Hulk

  • Medium Lifter

  • Heavy Hulk

  • Driller

  • Fusion Hulk


New GB-Color Palettes

(The Gameboy color had a feature that allowed for the selection of one of 12 override palettes to use for the older 4-shade pre-color games. Palettes were selected by holding a direction and button combination. All these palettes are now available in Down Ward.)

  • GB-Color: Up

  • GB-Color: Up A

  • GB-Color: Up B

  • GB-Color: Left

  • GB-Color: Left A

  • GB-Color: Left B

  • GB-Color: Down

  • GB-Color: Down A

  • GB-Color: Down B

  • GB-Color: Right

  • GB-Color: Right A

  • GB-Color: Right B

  • GB-Color: Up A Object Palette

  • GB-Color: Left Object Palette

  • GB-Color: Mix up (A mix of two GB palettes that looks nice.)


All feedback is welcome as always. :)

Adorned in her appropriately cubey attire, Gable brandishes a legendary blade.

I finally get to post this for April Fools! :D

Gable wings her way over some soft clouds. :)

(She's the main character of a pixel game I'm working on. She has more pixels in this picture.)

So close! :D
