I've made progress on my game about the 12 Greek Olympian gods! (sopuli.xyz)

Hi all, I'm making a game where you, the player, is tasked by Prometheus, the Titan who stole fire from the gods, to "steal fire" from the 12 Greek Olympian gods. First stage will be on Dionysus, the god of wine and ecstasy.

I've got the tutorial section mostly done now, and I think the pixel art I made looks great! I still need to eventually get on to making my own player sprite though...

What do you all think of this? Do you think anything needs to be added to make the world look better (e.g. more variety in the tileset maybe?) or have any ideas for some good puzzles I could add?

some more screenshots:

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an orange core. Dialogue box reads: "By harnessing the power of Helios, the all-seeing Sun god, you can see things other mortals cannot"

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an whitish grey core. Dialogue box reads: "By harnessing the power of Anemoi, the four winds, you can control air itself to eliminate obstacles in your adventure."

Player is interacting with a rock covered in vines with an blue core. Dialogue box reads: "This allows you to lower the sea level to create a path forward. Not parting the seas, that's Moses's thing."

I spent a lot of time playing "Return of Heracles" (1982) when I was a kid and I've been meaning to do a Let's Play. Have you played it? Was it an influence?

No, I wasn't born yet...

Irrelevant but thanks

"the" twelve?

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

edited to mention it's the Greek ones and not the Roman ones. Or did I do something else wrong...?

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My bad, I just somehow never heard of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Olympians though I thought I was familiar with the subject. I'm very fond of Prometheus and I love your plot.

Ah ok. Everyone makes mistakes, it's all fine and good :D

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

or maybe I could play with some lighting to make it dark and cave-like...

[–] sbeak@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

pixel art of player interacting with stone totem covered in vines with orange core. It is producing orange light. Grasses and vines surround the player, and wine glasses eminating with a red glow are on the floor.

I've got some lighting now and it looks really cool! No normal maps yet though, so I might get to that at some point...

Yes, some normals on those sprites and they’ll look a lot less flat!

that does look really cool! I’ll have to do that at some point…I should probably make the player sprite first though, right now it’s a recoloured version of the one from HeartBeast’s tutorial.
