Projectivity

I bought Shadow of the Colossus today. That's a big thing for me, because I never buy video games. In fact, I've bought a grand total of about two this entire year. Anyways, that's a really awesome game. It's got to be one of the most artistic games I've ever played- and climbing those gigantic monsters is just plain awe-inspiring. Anyways, if you haven't played it, it's definitely worth it, unless you don't have a PS2. If you're skeptical that video games can have artistic or even literary value, you should also give it a try.

Anyways, I've been working on a new project for a couple of weeks now. It's far more ambitious than anything I've ever done (it'll be my first full-length game- if I finish it), and it's actually shaping up pretty nicely. It's an adventure exploration type game, set in a castle-type place, sort of like Soldexus, with a whole bunch of mechanical stuff and… yeah, it should be pretty cool. I don't have a demo you can play yet (though I'm hoping to release a fairly lengthy one soon) but I do have these fine screenshots you can stare at.

Fun, right? :D

I think the robots are too dark… try using the same palette as the laser shooting thing in the last picture.

The pallete for the laser-shooter is actually darker than that of the regular robots; the background is just a LOT darker.

Anyways, it looks a lot better in motion; it's not nearly so hard to see. Although my monitor is pretty bright, so I'm not sure what it'll be like for other people. I guess I could make the enemies a bit brighter. We'll see.

That orange thing looks pretty.

It looks nice, but you need to make your background and foreground contrast more. It will look alot better if you do.

I might get a ps2 just for SOTC. Looks awesome!

It's probably worth it. That game is absolutely amazing.
