thanks for the tips, but HoneyThings it is....

This logo looks uhmm stranger than it should ;-)

Do you mind trying to "pixelize" the text too? Or is it just a first mockup?


Edit: maybe even add a bit more yellow if you want to resemble "honey" colorwise. And jokes aside: why the stranger things clone? Is there a similar story twist and 80s style?
IF not then the logo would look better if done in a more toon style on the word "things". Something similar to the "Honey" (but with a different color, other letter overlaps ...). But as said, might be that you intend to clone that look for untold reasons. So see it just as a minor suggestion.

PS: the honey pot for "o" is of course a "must" in the logo - well done there!

PPS: Feel free to upload new sneak-peek-screenshots of your gameplay. Want to see new pixel foes and collectibles ;-)

hehehehehe
Yep. it's all very deliberate  especially the 'things' reference

[Qube]

But why 3 sets of white lines instead of the usual one?  That looks odd to have 3, if they're extra lanes then the outside lanes look a bit too narrow.

They are just very quick mockups so I could see if it was working right

He he, love the logo

[Derron]

Hmm you either replaced the logo with an updated one - or the screen at work is not calibrated properly - looks OK now on my home computer.

Really like the road there, Qube. I can see why you have multiple white lines: It's so you can overtake more than one car at once, right?

You planning something like this game?

Please tell me you are? Fuck I loved that game on the C64. Played it endlessly. To me it had the perfect balance of playability, challenge, addictiveness and sheer fun that very few games could better.

Hell yes!  I loved Buggy Boy on the Atari ST.

The road is not the finished look ( just WIP ) but there will be multiple lanes.

There will be elements of Buggy Boy but not a clone

Then based on solid gameplay elements, cool.

for those that really (really) want to see what I've been cooking up? Here's the first actual in-game shot showing the general look and the main Character (Redd: the Bear)...



I'm going to use the synth (I created previously) for the music this time round, so the files will be a bit bigger, but you will get some very interesting soundz... (I'm actually listening to the main track as I type "All Exits are clearly marked... BASS!")

So it's taking the RPG and tactical and stretching the concepts into a 16bit arcade retro dungeon crawler...

[Steve Elliott]

At last lol.  Very nice pixel art, looking forward to playing.   

[Derron]

That looks pretty stunning.

I have one wish you hopefully fulfill: have a game option which adds black borders to the game when scaling. And then use an integer based scaling (1x, 2x, 3x, ...) until either app height or width would be exceeded. Why?
Look at the bears eyes... the white of his left (POV: right) eye is wider than it should making him look ... uhm... "ill".


Hope there are honey badgers to brawl with ;-)

Cor! that looks really good - Great work on the graphics.

Wow. Looking good so far 

I've made nothing like the progress you seem to have, but I'll soldier on...
