Newbie_Power, you need to chill.

And pharo, there's no need to explain your graphics. Just make the best graphics you can. They probably won't be amazing at first, but they don't have to be. Like you said, you're just making a simple game to test the OHR, right? So don't worry about whether people will like your graphics, the only thing that matters is that you can look at them and say "I am better at this than I was when I started."

Ah... Thinking about it over chicken, Iblis is double right. I was too keen on the technical aspect. Just need to emphazise how Square managed to emphasize detail without shading instead of using the word lazy, because I am afraid of MS Paint quality graphics.

Yes, of course none of us want to see lazy graphics, or lazy anything else. Better to fail while attempting great things than to succeed at mediocre things.

If you want to use black outlines instead of a black background, you can. It won't be 100% retro, but I can imagine a lot of people wouldn't know the difference until pointed out.

I'm also working on a game, but its not an OHR game. Still, I thought people might be interested in it. Its a flash game, I'll give you guys more info as soon as I get out of the design phase.

I kinda stopped making games currently because of the lag of feedback on Gerania (and I'm not even sure if more than one person actually managed to beat the demo). Plus I'm busy getting a new girlfriend which is hard work (though I'm thinking about giving that up and play King's Bounty all day instead).

I just 'finished' my first ever OHR game. I worked with a friend to make our final project in our English class into a game, entitled 'Narrative.rpg'

We put in about 20 hours of work, and what came out on the other end could be played through in 5 minutes, and is basically just a pile of dead ends (where all that darned gameplay was supposed to go) and terrible inside jokes, so it won't be posted up anywhere. It did, however, manage to utterly delight our teacher (a big fan of old Final Fantasy titles) and net the two of us full points on the project.

Over the summer I am hoping that I will be able to finish another game, hopefully with the help of several friends. Right now there are two ideas bouncing around in my head, one is a somewhat typical, story-based JRPG, and the other would be 'Necromon', a game where you play as an aspiring young Necromancer who wants to collect, train, and trade undead beings.

At the moment, I'm mostly working on OkÃ©dokÃ©!, adding on what I sent in for the 8-Bit Contest. I'm going to be sticking with the NES-style graphics, though, since I've been wanting to make an NES-style game for years anyway--the contest was just a good chance to finally start on one, I guess.

So far, I've added in most of the stuff I didn't have time to put in before the contest deadline (a few more NPCs, some minor graphics additions here and there, an optional superboss...) and finished some enemies and a few maps for the third "chapter" of the game. Probably going to release a longer demo once I get through with the third and fourth chapters. The city that makes up 99% of Chapter 4 is another big, explore-every-single-inch-of-the-map, tons-of-optional-hidden-stuff area like Wrongside was, though... so it'll take a while.

Maybe once OkÃ©dokÃ©'s done (or at least in "longer demo" stage) I might finally get some work in on Fnrrf Ygm Schnish. Ha ha ha!
