Description
Another mockup of an older project. Not a lot of detail in the ground tiles here - I was a bit burnt out after animating the water. Not my best work. Critique appreciated but not necessary, as I'm already aware of many flaws.EDIT: A tutorial on the water rippling can be found here: world-of-noel.deviantart.com/a…

Hmm. Wonder if a slight curve in the ripples would allow sixteen sets of waves to look good as linear AND radial ripples.
I might have to play with that.

i love the water and the water reflections! they are perfect! i think the perspective is off (maybe on purpose i don't know) kinda looking from the top but things are flattened so we're seeing from the side as well... wierd.
i think this ought to get a DD

How much for a tile-able version (when you aren't tied up)?

Did this ever actually get used in a game or other project?

As far as I know the game was never finished.

Wouldn't the water ripple in a way that it surrounds the waterfall?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How would you apply something like that in a tile set? You would have to go through immense amounts of effort to make it match various geometries that has in a similar way a waterfall around it. This current style is efficient for reuse and with all of it's simplicity and the tile based graphics, it doesn't even look all that much off place.

Quality work has effort put into it. As of right now, I feel like it looks like an ocean.

Do you have a specific technique within the realm of pixel arts in mind? ..because I sure could use some advice myself (seriously).
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Depends on the method. You'd need a few different tiles, yes, but once they've been made, you can re-use them over and over again. So, yes, initially there would be oodles of work, but once the tiles are finished, you can just copy-and-paste your way to victory

You animated the water by hand? Why didn't you just use gimp with a ripple filter and seed advancement for animation? lol....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because:
1) The ripple filter doesn't work on colour-indexed images, and
2) Gimp sucks balls.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1) You can get different plug-ins... I am sure the universe has created at least on filter that supports indexed color...
2) LOL... I'd rather listen to a seasoned trash-can lid percussionist play than a complete noob violin player. Sometimes the tool just doesn't suit the user...that don't make it a whore who turns dirty tricks.

Not at all. I think someone on PixelJoint asked for a tutorial so I might do that.

That would be absolutely awesome if you made a tutorial for this
