I just think he hasn't gotten to the blood and spatter sprites yet. He didn't say it was WIP, but I think it was implied.

I think the humans look pretty good. Except that detective, it looks like his face is being censored. But for the most part there is just enough space to suggest a face, without being so big as to make everything else look under-sized.

I'm not sure if the world is ready for HD spessmans

Methinks it would make more sense to port the sprites from SS13 to a new engine. Although the new sprites look neat.

I think the clown might be dead seeing how the detective is inspecting him.

Not enough blood on the floor. Also not enough blood on the detecive.

Vampire.

[Amperzand]

Vampire.

Spoiler: Gift for vampires. (click to show/hide)

Good theory, though. That would be an interesting addition to SS13. Maybe STALKER:CoP-style hemophiliacs?

[hops]

Well it's already a thing in some codebases. Spoiler alert: they're awful.

He must be a damn good detective then

[~Neri]

We have vampires on para. They're interesting to play as.

For the past week I've been working on some Space Station 13 graphics. My goal is to make enough tiles for a bare-bones game then pitch them to a programmer working on a remake.

How do the humans look? I'm afraid to add more outfits lest I make changes to the base and have to update everything to match them. I want the people to look perfect before I move forward and add the rest of the departments.

Give it to Space Station 14 dev's....
if they are still working on it

At this point I assume there's a conspiracy to prevent all SS13 remakes from being finished. I mean, think about it, there's a dozen remakes of it in the work, but none of them ever get any tangible product.

I think someone, maybe exadv himself, is going around privately getting the developers to stop working on their remakes. I don't mean assassinations, because then the conspiracy would be revealed. I just think the remake developers are being pitted against each other, sabotaging their efforts.

LOL I get it guys, the mockup so far is a little too mild for a game like SS13. Ludicrous gibs will be coming later, they're just lower on my priority list.

What do you mean by "censored"? And yeah, the heads of these sprites went through several iterations before I arrived at the current ones. They're smaller than the existing heads but big enough to accomodate small details like sunglasses.

At this point I assume there's a conspiracy to prevent all SS13 remakes from being finished. I mean, think about it, there's a dozen remakes of it in the work, but none of them ever get any tangible product.

The problem with all of the SS13 remakes is that they're too freakin' ambitious! They want to throw out the 32x32 graphics in favor of huge 64x64 textures and fully-modelled environments. And for an enormous non-commercial game like SS13, that sort of workload simply isn't possible. It quadruples the amount of work, adds another barrier for new content and severely limits who can contribute art.

So overall, my goal for this project is to make marginal improvements. Better art direction, a unified palette and a consistent perspective in roughly the same resolution. I've considered giving these graphics to the SS14 devs (I found their art IRC and it's still active), but I doubt they'd accept them. If you look at this gameplay footage, you'll see they've committed all of the mistakes I mentioned above. For them to accept my graphics, they'd have to throw out everything they made so far and I doubt their artists would be happy with that.

But then again, I could possibly suggest my graphics as some sort of "alternate tileset" to what they have so far...hmm...

[Cheesecake]

Maybe you could offer them as a texture pack for whoever wants to use different graphics?

[Shook]

Mmm, delicious sprites. Would be cool to see a game featuring your spritework at some point, Platino. c:

also YELLOW DINO

Also i tweaked the animation a little to try and make it seem more springy, but i'm honestly not sure if i like it better than the original animation.

[Reverie]

I actually prefer the original, for whatever that's worth

[Arx]

The springyness looks a little stilted to me, possibly because it's extra up-and-down without much apparent left-and-right.

Also, meant to say a while ago but good to see you around again Reverie!
