Thanks so much! 😃

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 17h

Also my palettes are the results of soooo much trial and error haha. I've redone them so many times over you wouldn't believe it. But each time I look back at what it was before and am always happy I put the effort in. Good luck with your project!

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 17h

Thank you! Filters can be very useful (for example they create the day/night cycle in my game) but can be a crutch if used to create a look for a whole tileset. I'd recommend turning them off and experimenting a lot with the base palettes for your tiles, then only use them for a final touch after.

I really like the look of this and your other pieces, especially the animated ones. They have so much atmosphere, despite the relatively low palette counts.

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 19h

I love the lighting effects, it's very atmospheric. The tiles are great too. My only real feedback would be that it does seem to all belnd together a bit, due to the uniformity of palettes. I'm not sure how this could be improved, though.

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 19h

Considering the restrictions, they look great. Very cute.

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 19h

Me too! That's actually the only part I didn't do, as @haykira.bsky.social is providing the character sprites for the game 😅

In Echoes of Tomorrow, you're accompanied by a small robot called Key2. You can also switch control to them, which will be used in puzzles mainly.

Looks great for just a mockup. Any plans to develop it further?

Amazing job on the dress. The process is interesting, as well. I always try and slowly build up pieces, but it's interesting to see it sketched out before hand.

Considering the restrictions, it looks really good! I'm not sure if you could develop it much more without adding at least one more colour, but it's still interesting to see what can be done.

This looks great! Around where I live there's loads of Gothic architecture like this, and you really captured it well.

If you used a reference do you have it to hand? I'd be curious to see what it was based off.

Also you're right about the sky, definitely deserved its own post 😅

It looks great! I especially like the roof of the building. Did you do everything yourself?

I also think it looks better without the CRT filter. Since it's a modern pixel art style it doesn't fit in my view.

Opinions needed!

I'm thinking of reusing some buildings I made for an old project in Echoes of Tomorrow, and have made a rough mockup. Do you think that they could fit the style?

You can wishlist on Steam if you want 😄

Update to my two last posts. I've remade the gate, changed paths and palettes, and added a lot of small touches. You can also see how it looks at different times of day. Which is your favourite?

Preview of another new area in Echoes of Tomorrow. In this one, the gate is keeping the monsters in the next area at bay. Will you still enter?

Link to Steam page on my profile if you want to wishlist 😀

Cool I'll try to keep an eye out!

PeekyChew | Echoes of Tomorrow RPG @peekychew.bsky.social · 12d

Too hard to choose! I really like the wolf, penguin, Ditto, and the second cat. Are you going to continue making them this month?

Do you have a Steam page up yet, btw?

A little sneek peak of a still very much WIP new area in Echoes of Tomorrow. The control panel hidden in the tree will play a key part in revealing one of the games core features; the ability to restore old ruins to their past glory.

The cliffs look great. I've always had trouble making those.

One piece of feedback I do have is that the walking speed seems very slow. I don't know if this is just for testing purposes or not, but if it isn't it could be frustrating for players.

I've redone the entire Steam page to try and make it more appealing, for anyone who wants to check it out 😅
