Dusk and Memoria screenshots

[Astellise 9]

So I've been working on the parallax maps for the two games Code Carousel is making. I also added in a screenshot from Memoria's main menu. The background is still the untextured one but I want to see what you guys think of it so far.

 

 

Memoria (Memoria is a psychological horror game by the way)

 

 

 

 

DUSK (These are screenshots of the tower of the stars)

WOW!

Did you make those tilesets? The one from Dusk looks absolutely amazing.

I think both games look great, but in Memoria, the class room looks a teeny bit big. However, I grew up in a small town with a small school, so classrooms might be bigger than how I imagine them.

Are the dots in the Dusk screenshot animated? If so, it must look amazing with the animations.

I was wondering the same thing myself too, if those glittering effects are animated? That would be so cool! 

Everything looks so psychedelic, maybe that's not the right word but I hope you know where I was going to lol.

The game looks fantastic! That's some really fantastic work with all of the textures and everything. 

How long do you think it took you to do your work on The Tower of the Stars? If you don't mind my asking. There's just a lot of little details that I'm impressed by.

The glittering effects are not animated as of the moment but I'm going to look into it if we could fix that. And don't worry everyone describes it as psychedelic even my own team members but its suppose to be something that seems like a dream so I just roll with it.

The tower of the stars was originally made like this : http://sta.sh/0pv519649q9 . It took a week to get that far. What you see now was more or less created by working on and off for 2-3 weeks since I did some trial and error to achieve the lighting effects inphotoshop and getting the furniture to look right.

The one in Dusk is made by me minus the floor boards those were defaults from the game that I fixed up with textures. But they're not really tilesets just one giant parallax I pixelled together in photoshop. As for memoria, I see what you mean it does seem abit big and I'm going to fix it so thanks for mentioning that~ . I also just tried to make that as a sample map to test out the textures and effects in photoshop.

@ Astellise Please do not double post within 72-hours. Instead, edit your previous post. I have merged your posts. Thank you.

Two to three weeks worth of trial and error to get effects and mapping right takes a lot of dedication. I applaud you on that.

Can't wait to see it all on in motion.

I really love the Dusk make better. The tileset and the atmosphere I think sell that one  alot more. The 1st one maybe add trash or something so it looks like it was abandoned or add stuff to the desk so it was like peopel were there but now they aren't.

These look really great! 8D  The Memoria classroom has a fantastic grudge feel!  However the room is pretty large, and looks very tidy.  Maybe you could make it feel more cluttered? (But I've been told my maps are always too crowded so...)  You're screenshots for Dusk are AMAZING!  One suggestion is perhaps doing a different floor tile?  You have all the furniture so that we are looking straight forward at them, but the floor looks like we are looking down on it.  I realize that's kinda unavoidable, and your maps still look amazing!  I hope you share more of your work it's very inspiring!!

Loving the lighting effects from Dusk. It's very pretty.

The tower from DUSK (whoops almost spelled duck) is beautiful! I love the lighting and the ambiance, as well as the choice of color and effects. The tiles are gorgeous also. Custom-style art is always appreciated in maps.

I'm really liking Memoria so far. I personally like horror game a bunch, and the atmosphere in there definitely feels creepy. I can't wait to see where it goes!
