Today I’ve been working on art for my 7-cities anti-RPG game. I just got some of the new assets into the engine to replace the placeholder art, so I thought I’d share a screen.<\/p>\n

I’m not much of an artist, so what I did is to take construction paper and crumple it up. Then I took photos with the morning light coming in the window at an angle. This gives me some isometric textures that I’ve turned into tiles. I also took a few pics of practical objects made out of construction paper like tree trunks and mountains. I used the crumpled paper pics to add to them, so its a mix of real 2.5d objects and flat textures. I forgot to turn back on the depth sorting, so the depth isn’t right, but you can see what the overland map is looking like.<\/p>\n

In addition to art, going to sleep and showering were good times for productive thinking on the mechanics of the game, but I haven’t done a lot to implement them yet. I need to transition from art to gameplay ASAP.<\/p>\n
