Love it when you game over and the game just immediately quits and boots you back to DOS. This is correct.

I booted up Pool of Radiance last night for some sick dungeon crawling. First party wipe: accidentally targeted my own party with sleep (hit target instead of manual). Helplessly slaughtered by kobolds.

My body amazingly held it together to complete a move to a new apartment last week, all while catching the flu. It's all fallen to bits now that I gave myself an opportunity to relax. I've been knocked out for days now.

Added slopes and ground variations to the previous test and also extended the map a bit. Next will be plants, trees and maybe some sprites. #pixelartㅤㅤ

Work in progress isometric pixelart tileset. Now with slopes and more ground variations.

Water...! Five frame loop. Migraine-inducing nightmare to draw, massive regrets halfway through. Next: rivers (and associated features), lakes?, and some impassable rocky coast/ocean tiles.

A fun parallel between building tile maps and pixel-ing: the way you might offset a couple pixel clusters so their edges don't line up (to avoid drawing attention to the pixel grid aka banding) works the exact same way on the tile level when using multiple-tile segments. It's cluster inception.

Thinking very seriously in reducing the amount of enemy sprite angles directions, might look cool or be impressive but it will take forever to finish the game. I'd add all angles to stronger special enemies and maybe even bosses, but it's getting out of hands. 1/2

Reworked the cliff tiles for this set. They're less busy and complicated than before, but still have issues. Can be difficult to parse terrain-type/accessibility on a cluttered map. Always a struggle. Will have to revisit again to see if I can improve that, but gotta move on for now.

Assets that I made for the 2024 Roguelike Celebration Steam sale page. 🧑‍🎨 The tallish tile size here I'm very fond of. I choose it because it reminds me of the tall grid often in ASCII roguelikes, but it also had some benefits when it came to actually draw the tiles & sprites.

Heavily inspired by Morrowind, Planescape and 70's Star Wars with a dash of bronze age and art nouveau. The mood? Conan after Conan: all the heroes are dead and this is the world they built. That's OMIOS URES, my weird fantasy RPG. And it's FREE on itch.io! matheusgraef.itch.io/omios-ures

A black robed wizard, embroided with stars, stands on top of a stone peak. Behind him, the vastness of the world. The early morning creeps amidst the ravines, painting the world in coy lilacs and deep purples. A city of horned spires jolts from the stony wastes, illuminated in bright cosmopolitan oranges. An alien zeppelin flares out its floodlights at the rooftops and beyond.

The wizard stares at the viewer, though we do not see within his cloak and hood. Blackness. From the void creeps out two marble-white hands, old as time, covered in rings, gesturing in unknown signs.

OMIOS URES

Two Carverine (orc-like humanoids), a male and a female, ride alongside eachother, on top of war hippos. They hold each other's arms. With the other hand, the female orc displays a freshly decapitated head - the enemy king. While the male lifts his axe up in prideful show. Both orcs have red hair and pinkish-gray skin, similar to the hippos they ride upon. The carverine have long, elephant like tusks, and wear minimal bronze armor.

A giant cyclops. Slender, female. Her armor is golden bronze, made of large plates with shield-sized domes protusions, which help veer off attacks. She wears a golden diadem, golden earrings, and her single eye is bright blue. Her armor shines from the warm light that trickles into the large chamber, pouring in from an off-scene oculus. Her face partially in the dark, tall that she is, only illuminated partially by the bounce lighting of her armor. Her right arm adjusts her belt, while her left arm is lifted, underneath it; we see a shirtless servant on top of a tall staircase, tying the laces of her bracer. The staircase is built of beige stone. The bracer is almost the size of this person. By the cyclops' feet, we see two other servants donning her greaves. One of them holds the giant slab of bronze in place, while the other, behind the cyclops' calf, ties up the laces. The floor is a white marble tile, giving the entire scene a slight reflection.

Did you know a single greave of this Cyclops weighs around 150 kilos?

Behind the Princes Warrior, we see a 2 story tall greataxe. It is brightly illuminated by the single shaft of light that brightens the entire room. In fact, the entire scene is illuminated either by the natural light, or the bounce lighting of the cyclops' armor, giving the entire painting a warm look.

The chamber is large and tall, made of stone, to accomodate the Princess Warrior. A small brazier burns incense, permeating the room with a pleasant odor of cloves. Behind the Cyclops and her servants, three noble folk overlook her befitting from a balcony. The balcony sits at the height of the Cyclops' head. One woman smokes, the man in the middle lifts a goblet with a grin, and the leftmost woman looks simply bored. There's a glass pitcher hewn with gold half-filled with wine next to them.

Every now and then, there is this one dangerous (stupid) manoeuvre that I do when pixeling. It involves copying a bit of recently drawn stuff, hitting (or holding down) ctrl+z a bunch, then pasting that work somewhere. Can go wrong in a number of ways, losing all that work done. Just bit me again. 😞
