Next up
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.
Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.
I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.
The next update may be full of bugs.
...moths, mostly.
I hope you appreciate what I go through for pointless details like this.
I don't plan on going this crazy too much, though.
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.
I was considering releasing the expansion today, but then I found a lot of bugs I should've spotted in the original build, and I made the minimap do extra stuff for said expansion.
Don't worry, it'll be out by tomorrow night.
He's coming back. ...but just this once.
A rather interesting thing I forgot about...
Again, this is more Sierra-styled than Sega CD-styled, but it gets the point across.
It doesn't help that the small-sprite BAC-PAC doesn't exactly pop from this kind of background.
Besides that, I'm making progress.
Coming soon to another update.
Lemme get some work done with it first, then we'll talk.
