Nugget sprite (Work in Progress unless it's deemed good enou
Here's my draft sprite for the possible new item "Nugget".
Discussed in IRC, this item (might) become a Yellow Slime drop, used to make Gold armour from normal armour.

Looks really good and given the maps yellow slimes currently occupy, in-game drop contrast should be good =]

Re: Nugget sprite (Work in Progress unless it's deemed good enou
Thanks
Come to think of it, why did I make it such a random shape? >_>
Or does anyone like it not being round?

The random shape is good. When you make it round it would look more like a pearl than a natural occurring gold nugget.

Sounds good
Any suggestions for improvement?

Possibly pit the surface? Right now it looks kind of like a lump of refined gold, as opposed to a nugget of rock.TheBasilisk wrote:Sounds good

Sorry... Don't know how to pit the surface
Would I do it just like I did the little shiny thing, a cross, somewhat like:
Where · is a moderately light shade, w is a medium-dark shade and # is darker?

Hi,
For pitting a surface, string a few pixels together to make up the shape of your pit. Draw them in a darker colour than usual. Then (for the tmw light source direction) draw lighter pixels at the right and lower fringes of the pit, and intermediate-brightness ones at the left and upper fringes. Next, vary and play around with the concrete colours to make it look more natural.
Good luck! :-)

O.o Away until December? xD
OK, thanks, I've tried it... And I think I've failed.
Please say which version you prefer, everyone

Re: Nugget sprite (Work in Progress unless it's deemed good enou
I this just a guide I made just to show you a few things,
2. make some guidelines to define the shape (I made a dark brown line)
3. color selection (palette) is very important, I think I used 7 colors (which is acceptable), test your color first, if you already have a good palette save it for later, so you don't have to invent the colors again.
4. fill with your colors following the light reflection, basically you have to "paint" the light in the object, I always start with the brightest color then in a very randomized way fill the spaces towards your guidelines but avoiding pillow effect.
5. Once you have that zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in (or have a preview window open) to fill all the holes and details
As you can see I made this really quick and some light reflections are still not good (they look like from the bottom) so still some work is needed but this was to give you a path to follow so you can do your own gold nugget.

I did make an outline - I started with a black one then later recolored it to a darker yellow shade...
I used 6 colors
And... I'll try and remake it from scratch. Thanks

Re: Nugget sprite (Work in Progress unless it's deemed good enou
OK, I've tried using all the space. The result isn't even worth posting. The nugget just has to be small, or someone else will have to make it. Besides, I'm thinking of the nugget as being a lot smaller than the Iron Ore (for example), and having it in the world filling up an entire 32x32 space is just wrong IMO, when compared with the ore.
