Game was a bit blurry

After re-packaging the game, it's all fixed.

except the stars.

but their sprite sheet is a bit iffy anyway, so I'll try and fix the blurriness on the title once I've fixed them.

Game was a bit blurry.

after re-packaging the game, hopefully it should be fixed.

Catch up research:

What makes a side scroller a side scroller:

you only move on the x or y axis, not the z.

it's third person.

the camera is in a fixed position, usually focused on the player.

Pixel artists:

Army of trolls is "the portfolio of… artist Gary J Lucken." Gary has worked with many companies including:

Sony

BBC

Mojang

Disney

A majority of his art is vibrant and filled with references to video games (such as PacMan; Space Invaders and Super Mario)

He's also created a fair share of more natural looking drawings, with more muted colours and a more peaceful less claustrophobic feeling.

Octavi Navarro Arts & Games is "a tiny indie studio based in Barcelona" that develops mostly horror games, developing games such as:

Unwelcome

Midnight Scenes

The Supper

they also have a bunch of scenes on their website, each of which being very scenic and unique, having their own contained story to tell in each one.

Johan Vinet is a pixel artist that "earned pixel art on an Atari 1040STF with 16 colors" and his known for his work on games such as:

Halfway

Castaway

Hyper Light Drifter

Extreme Exorcism

His art style is very Game Boy Colour-esque giving of extreme 'Links awakening' vibes. His colours are very vibrant, and makes practically everything POP.

Game Character Progress:

Originally I wanted to draw everything in a size ~640 x 640. however, we were told to do pixel art so this idea was abandoned.

Original concept for pixel art, before I even knew we NEEDED to create our game with pixel art. This isn't the final style for 2 reasons:

The colour palette. Mainly the hair. It was too difficult to distinguish the front of the hair from the back.

It was just barely over the 64 x 64 pixel size limit we have for our games.

After finding a colour palette I liked, I made this thing. this would later become the base for the final design.

The only thing I changed was the face.

Adding Videos and Stuff:

One more just because it's good.
