#n0va dev

I also think i should mention that I’ve been playing around with game maker studio recently and I find it a lot easier to control that what I’d be able to do in rpgmaker 2003, so i may be moving N0VA onto there instead.

this isn’t for sure though, so i’m only working on the graphics for N0VA for right now because those will stay the same regardless of the engine.

thought i should post a few wips ive been working on

they’re definitely not finished but i was just testing them out for positioning, colors, actually checking if the game works and stuff like that @w@

ive decided to let there be diagonal movement in N0VA, and tbh i think the diagonal sprites look cuter than the normal sprites

oops @w@;;

I’m trying out parallax mapping, since I think this might make the actual mapping part of it easier. (though tbh drawing out a huge map is probably a lot more work than just using tilesets.)

this perspective will probably give the buildings a bit more depth though !

update 7/11/2015

sorry for not having posted must recently, i’ve mostly been working on things that I dont really have anythingn to show for ( plot work and also figurihg out how certain events work )

I also realized that I’ve had the idea for this game for about half a year now (and the design for Nova for more than that) and i still hadnt actually said what this game will be about.

So this post is going to be a very basic summary of what i have planned for the game, and hopefully within the next week I’ll make a more official summary and make a page for it on this blog.

N0VA is a game about Nova, a kid who has to find out what her purpose is on this world. Unfortunately, she must do so in her newly-transformed ghost form. Nova must find a way to finish what she was unable to do in life, with the difficulties that come with not being part of the living world.

I plan on making this game a sort of puzzle/adventure game, though this may change as i work more on it. Nova will have the ability of switching between being part of the “ghost world” and “living world”

thats p much it for right now, I’ll post more as i work out more things and figure out how to phrase them.

im afraid that ill end up not having enough contrast in the color palette im using for N0VA bc i wanna make it look pretty but idk if the colors are ?? light and dark enough in the right places or ?? idk wait lemme bring up the thing im working on to show

<

like ok im not done with them yet but i feel like there isnt enough contrast in the colors for the one on the left ??

but im not sure if having them be kinda similar will actually make it look nice in the game?

or if it’ll make it harder to look at BECAUSE the colors are similar?

5/27/15 update

I feel like I should mention that Im still working on this game and have pretty much every day for the past couple of weeks ( just so you dont think im not doing anything )

i don’t really have much to SHOW because most of what ive been working on is trying to figure out events and how to get the items to work with me !!

ive almost finished another tileset but i think people would rather see a finished/almost finished map instead of just what could /possibly/ become one ?

also ! i wanna thank everyone whose following this blog ! i know i dont have much on here and ive stated that this is mostly a personal project im doing for fun, but it means a lot to see that people actually see something in it !

thanks !!

ive redrawn this like 6 times already but i think im sticking with this style for good now !

so this is what Nova’s talksprite will look like im thinking of having her stand in front of the text box instead of behind because i have a few other characters that i think would look better if you can see them from head to toe

EDIT: i forgot tumblr resizes things (and also that the original is really small so.
