I had thought of adding some background and extra stuff, but i decided against it. I don't want to start an arms race of people updating their entries in the hopes of getting picked. I did add some new shading. And a laser gun. But I'll put it here, not at the start of the post. Original: New:
It's a touch choice really, solid shadows vs dithering. Dithering was important when you had a limited pallet set but you can use as many shades as you want these days.
True. I think I used dithering once as well. I don't really like it in this pic, though... It does give it a nice retro look, but I don't think it would fit starbound anyway (or haven't I looked at the teasers good enough?)
I love this thing, seriously. Great work! Oh, the amount of detail you put into it, it even has an anus.
Starbound definitely doesn't need to, they've got lots of colors to work with. Lots of glows and shading, like modern graphics, but retro feel.
Wow, this is really cool. I'm starting to get more and more worried about not having a good chance of winning
I don't envy the devs having to go through all the entries to pick one. Of course, if they tire of it, I'd be glad to pick one for them.
Creepy, yet extraordinary. I could only Imagine myself screaming and flailing my mouse around as I mashed down the "A" Key to run away. Claps for you.
Very creative submission so far. I'm thoroughly enjoying what I'm seeing out of everyone. good luck anubis.
*sniff* That's awesome. I'd cry tears of joy, thinking of all the people surprised when my little guy pops up screeching and clawing for your hearts.
