HM-style pixel art Options

[Nurse Fin]

Well, I'm no expert spriter or anything, but it's kind of fun (yet tedious... go figure). I know a lot of people have attempted to make their own HM games with little luck. I'm only really able to program stuff like a cooking system, advanced social system, calendar, mining system... but the actual farming has me stuck. Oh well. :P At least I can make graphics, too. If I ever get around to making a full working test bed I might want to make a fan game with original characters (not ToT/AP chars, I just used them for testing purposes) and stuff like that. :D Maybe... someday.

I've only made a few floor and wall tiles so far, no furniture or anything, and I've only finished a standard female walking template. But I made all this in about 6 hours, which isn't too bad :D

I don't really work from any particular template, but I do use the official artworks and occasionally a 3d model mesh as basic reference, and I snatch all the palettes from the official artwork so that it blends in well enough (I do often tweak some of the colors once I'm done though; like Kaede's hair was originally Luke Blue, and Sylvie's hair was Selena Red. :P)

I make rough sketches of everything on notebook paper before I make the colored artworks, though. I would upload some, but they really do look pretty crappy, and that would cut out some element of surprise wouldn't it :P
