Description Here's part 1 of the new BoxedTown series. The main changes with this one is that i'm working from top to bottom instead of from bottom to top. So this means there could be some gaps at the top during development. I'm also making it full-width. Which means no box-like ground area but a complete picture. I might "cut the world" on the bottom edge though.

Anyway i've got much in store for this one. This part is pretty boring I guess, just getting into the 'game' with some regular housing, getting the sizes and style right and such. I already made the people a notch smaller because they seemed rather huge to me in the preview.

Man, I really like what I'm seeing so far! I can't believe you're going to make another boxed town, considering how much the other one took you. I think I'll add "howling" to the definition of "masochist pixelist"... (just kidding ).

I will absolutely look forward for updates. Good luck! This one looks worth to put some effort on. Good job!

Top staaltje hollandsche pixelart. Erg mooi deze. Het witte pand in het midden vind ik super mooi gedaan. Ook de achterkant van het donkere huis rechts boven is heel mooi en realistisch.

That's awesome, I love all the tiny details that you put into your work. I really can't wait until the whole thing is finished! I can hardly imagine a whole desktop's worth of this...

howling In reply to dcschmo [2004-08-18 20:31:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks I will definately make it *some* desktop size. Now that could be as low as 640x480, but since I myself use 1024x768 and the BoxedTown 2 was 1280x1024 it could very well be bigger Oh - and no empty corners with this one as with BoxedTown 2.

The cuteness factor is so high here

Recently I've become a big fan of tiny isometrics and this one is a great example!

I love your pixel art! ^__^ I've had the big one of your town as a desktop wallpaper for a long time. Keep up the great work!

Cool, that's exactly why I made it 1280x1024 in the first place I'm flattered! Thank you!

omg I can't stop staring at the iddie-biddie flowers, and the gorgeous textures in the trees. It's small and yet detailed enough to be called EYE CANDY ;-;
Love the delicious colours.

Can't wait to see more of it

Some very original buildings in there, I love the designs! The gardens are especially good. I'd work on the cars a bit and the people, they don't seem to sit well in the scene. Can't wait to see an update.

carbon-12 [2004-08-17 10:24:50 +0000 UTC]

wow thats nice. I like the new style. I think i shall create one of these myself, did you ever play a game called something like syndicate? It had a massive isometric city which you where a secret agent in and had to well I dont know realy, i only had the demo and it was a free play level, so i just explored but I think i shall do some pixel work with that style

thanks for shareing.

howling In reply to carbon-12 [2004-08-17 10:34:08 +0000 UTC]

Yup I played Syndicate Maybe you can find the game in bargain bins or somewhere on the web. Would be fairly interesting to see a city of that scale in a pixel art piece here on DA. Thanks for the on BoxedTown 2 too btw!

the boardwalk - is it filled with only one colour? are this artifacts from the compression?

anyway, can't wait for bt3

howling In reply to mkall [2004-08-17 10:36:29 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is one color, what artifacts are you talking about, I don't see any? I used PNG - which is lossless compression. Thanks

Silly me. I was looking at the preview, not full view.
No artifacts in full view...
