That damn desert in KQ 5.

After 2 days messing with it, rode my bike up to B Dalton's and looked up the sequence in the Strategy Guide. I was too poor as a kid to buy the book so I just wrote it down and rode home as fast as I could.

Thought the same thing! Felt like I was 10 again and playing KQ1.

Funny you mention that, I immediately thought Quest 4 Glory. But very similar.

jedi_cat_ t1_j00s67d wrote

Oh man, good memories. My parents and I used to sit and play the Sierra games together. All the King’s Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest. They never let me watch while they played Leisure Suit Larry though. I was wild to play it though.

Hi all! This pixel art animation is 320x200px using 9 colors and 10 hand drawn frames. I doubled the resolution for viewing purposes. These little splashing pixels are hand drawn one by one 😓 I wish you all a pleasant day <3

I’m also curious, commenting in the hopes OP responds

I noticed a couple of the splash pixels change colour, really gives the "caught the sunlight" effect!

Your attention to detail has not gone unnoticed :)

Are ppl paying you for this ?? Wtf

Heavyarms83 t1_j00vcj7 wrote

People pay others to take their clothes off, I guess there’s a little more work and effort in these pixel art pictures, so I guess the artist deserves it.

Dis_Joint t1_j00x6qj wrote

Something tells me that the ability to create art like this may be more sought-after long-term than say, someone skilled at flipping burgers. But people often get paid for that "basic" ability. Are you literally an alien? And don't understand how commerce works?

bill__sussman t1_j02v66r wrote

Okay sure, you pay for something you want. But what are the people doing with the product? Is there a product? If you pay for his patreon, you just get a link to a gif? Im srsly uneducated in this space

It looks 3 greens to me.

Krikke93 t1_izxib2o wrote

If you count the base of the trees as a color of green, I believe that's what he's considering black, since there's no actual black to be found.

highspeedninja97 t1_izxiype wrote

If thats the case, what about the 3rd gray? Or is it black? My head!

1

Krikke93 t1_izxjf60 wrote

It's the same color used for the trees, you can see it flowing into the rocks on the right side :D and some parts use a checker pattern with two similar colors to make it appear as one darker color. Used in the rocks and the far background trees.

Mike2220 t1_j0148j6 wrote

There's a few "shades" of gray made by checkerboarding colors.

They do the darker gray with the black, as well as the darker gray and lighter gray

I was fooled too. I double counted the black from the rocks and the trees like a dummy. Lmao

Reminds me of Chilnualna falls in Yosemite!

habu-sr71 t1_izzy57j wrote

I have spent much time there. Yes, it does remind of C falls.

Whenever I think of those falls, I always wanna ask someone where the Nualna store is, and do they keep the laid back version in stock.

AgentLead_TTV t1_izyx0vw wrote

its beautiful work, but why do people who post pixel art always want me to know how many colors they used?

2

thewolfpack23x t1_izzwaqe wrote

Old consoles could only display a limited number of colors, so limited color palettes has become a characteristics part of the pixel art look.

6

AgentLead_TTV t1_izzwgdw wrote

I understand that but is it like a badge of honor to have a lower number?

1

habu-sr71 t1_j001jp0 wrote

Yes, it is.

I went all the way down to 1 color!

Kinda Rorschach-y.

spidermanicmonday t1_j001yi8 wrote

It is impressive to get this amount of detail with only 9 different colors total for shading and highlights and everything. Any other medium it is impossible to strictly limit yourself to a specific set number of distinct shades, since for instance even using the exact same paint if you used slightly different pressure and strokes it would result in slightly different shades.
