I may have accidentally blundered into An Aestheticโ„ข
@eniko Desired: More information, please.
@MachineLordZero uh, people like the look of the mockup?
@eniko oh lol, I thought you meant like you had more stuff you hadn't shown
@eniko A darned good one, no less. I know DOS is the goal, but it's giving me real PS1 vibes - the sort of game I'd see on a demo disc and be really curious about.
@lunarloony PSX *is* 320x240... ๐Ÿค”
@eniko @lunarloony These dungeons also resemble the ones from Realmz on classic MacOS, which had no transition animations whatsoever. So do anything or nothing for those, really
@eniko The colours pop so well against the grey/brown background. Very looking forward to this progressing.
@eniko You had me at Fox Girl
@eniko @rally That looks incredibly cool! Bootiful! 
@eniko @rally Oh I'm REALLY liking how this is turning out.

@eniko One of the biggest problems I often have with pixel art UIs is that the text blends into the background if there aren't also garish text windows... so congrats on completely avoiding that effect with your HP/Will/Stress section.

I'm guessing that's a product of the dungeon's own palette choices.

@mcmartin mostly yep. Dungeons do be dark. There's also a black drop shadow but that wouldn't help *that* much on a bright background

@eniko @rally Only disappointed that the monsters don't look like cute girls... but not every dungeon crawler can be Sakura Dungeon or Demon Master Chris. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

EDIT: To be clear, it's beautiful.

@eniko @rally huge fan of the look of everything on screen both separately and cohesively

I also would like to be that foxgirl thank you
@kit @rally she gets to date a lot of cute girls so that's understandable
@eniko this is beautiful! When beta? ๐Ÿ˜ -D.
@WeAreMuesli aiming for August atm
@eniko Beyond mere Juice---jack them up with that good broth and/or marrow~
@Plamobot first person dungeon crawler with town based life sim elements
@eniko I'm listening!

@Plamobot @eniko if the town ties into the dungeon a bit like uh... Backpack Hero, or... Dark Cloud on PS2?

gimme gimme

@Plamobot @eniko Easy to fluff. Other people Have Died (and Been Reincarnated As some kemonomimi) as well, you're just the first to find the way out the dungeon
@eniko @rally I love this and would definitely play it :O
@eniko @rally omg.... i didn't think it was going to have a second half of the name 
@eniko @rally This came out really well! The UI and art are looking great!
@eniko oh hell yes, sign me up for this ๐Ÿ˜ค
@eniko @rally ohoho, this is lovely
@eniko OOOOOH this looks so good ๐Ÿ‘€
@renkotsuban thanks renkon ๐Ÿ˜Š
@eniko @rally hell yes give me those shining force battle animation vibes I've missed so much

@eniko Really digging this layout, and the over-the-shoulder RPG perspective.

Reminds me of Camelot's "Shining" dungeon crawler from the Sega Saturn era, which had a presentation I always loved!

@eniko @rally stress meter, i feel that ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿ˜ญ
@eniko @rally Looks great! Looking forward to playing it.

@eniko @rally

This is how I read the title:

Not My Type Of Game (Wait, There Is More. This Is Exactly My Type Of Game).

@eniko @rally
Yep, that looks dope af!
And thatโ€™s a nice compromise on the player character design btw, between being turned against the enemy while still being turned against the player I mean, if that makes sense. Nicely done! :D
@neutronstar @eniko I did try to find the right angle to read correctly without hiding the character's facial expressions from the player. I'm glad it came across well!
