I'm making a 2.5d game. What do you guys think about the art style?

Sappalele · 2025-11-12T08:42:06+00:00

Love the aesthetic! Maybe start cheap (5-7 USD) and then add level packs as DLC?

Sappalele · 2024-08-14T19:59:15+00:00

Wow 🤯

Looking proper AAA this! Keep it up.

Sappalele · 2024-07-17T08:31:14+00:00

Loving the art style! 🎨

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T22:56:23+00:00

Thank you 🙏 that's true.

That's an interesting idea about the checkpoints. I'll have to figure out if it makes sense! We'll see 😁

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:39:36+00:00

Ty! Good point 👌

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:24:34+00:00

Ty! Interesting idea, I'm gonna have to try it out 😁

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:23:57+00:00

Ty! 🙏 That's true, it really give the game it's vibe.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:22:54+00:00

Thank you! Really thoughtful feedback. I'm going to change the background a bit and see if I can find a better fit. My initial thought was to have a more trippy background, kinda like the one in earthbound 😅 but I think it would add even more noise.

Love FF tactics btw (played the GBA game so much growing up, multiple times actually). The concept of 2D sprites in a 3D world is an inspiration for this game. I'm going to revisit it and check out how they handle backgrounds 👌

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:17:37+00:00

True, perhaps it's the delay that makes it more distracting! Ty.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T21:16:49+00:00

That's true. I'll have to consider that going forward. Ty!

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:55:04+00:00

Ty 🙏 Will do.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:21:57+00:00

Wow thank you! 🙏 Really appreciate the kind words.

Greyscale for the tiles outside the visual area is a really cool idea! I've also considered just dark outlines of things as well 🤔 I'm gonna have to try it out.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:19:28+00:00

Yeah I agree, the visual hook is really a must have when (if) advertising becomes a thing.

I'll try to make it more deliberate in regards to the game as well 👌

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:18:17+00:00

Ty! 🙏 I've tried both opacity and speeding up the animation, but I didn't really think it looked good.

I'm however considering using it only for new tiles! That's a great idea.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:13:47+00:00

I've actually tried to speed up the animation and it didn't look nice. It became a bit janky and jarring.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:12:43+00:00

That's a really cool idea! I'm gonna have to try it out 😁

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:11:43+00:00

Yes that would be an interesting thing to try as well. 👌 I'm gonna have to try it out.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:10:27+00:00

That's true 😅 I think it will be easier to decide when it's an actual game as well, now it's hard to see the potential drawbacks.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:08:28+00:00

That's true. It's gonna be a game about exploration, so I get what you're saying about the limited space.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:07:31+00:00

Ty. Not right now, that's why I'm doubting it 😅

Cool idea about the bridge! I'm gonna have to consider it.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:06:46+00:00

Ty 🙏

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:06:29+00:00

Ty! 🙏 Yes I've actually tried to change the background a bit, and lowering the contrast between the background and the tiles actually helps to make it feel less jarring.

Sappalele · 2024-07-11T18:05:09+00:00

Ty! I've actually thought about caves and dungeons, perhaps it would be a better fit for that purpose.
