Game Mockups/Ideas
Hi,
In this thread I want to post a bunch of Speccy mockups I've made over the last year or so that might help you to create something.
Feel free to use any of the graphics in your projects, and I'd love to know if you use them!
You can find SCR versions of all these and my other work here: https://zxart.ee/eng/authors/h/helpcomputer0/

Nice work. Could make it a lot easier to use in games if you could link to .scr / native files though.
(most conversion tools make a random mess of attribute inversions)

Re: Game Mockups/Ideas
Thanks! All my work including these mockups is in SCR on ZX Art here: https://zxart.ee/eng/authors/h/helpcomputer0/
I'll add this to the first post too.

Re: Game Mockups/Ideas
These are all fab, thank you for sharing!
Anyway lots of inspiration here, nice work!
This one caught my eye because it reminded me of an error, actually! I've been working on a sprite-drawing routine and a mistake caused it to draw the mask instead of the sprite. I liked the silhouette effect but never really thought any more of it; but I really like the atmosphere you've created with such a "simple" character. Overall the sense of light and dark in the scene is great. I can imagine animating the bright attributes to give the impression of dynamic water caustics (RTX Real Time Ray Tracing™, oh yeah!).
Anyway lots of inspiration here, nice work!

Re: Game Mockups/Ideas
Thanks! I definitely prefer solid/silhouette type characters where there might be more colour clash but guess it depends on the game.flatduckrecords wrote: ↑Fri Apr 22, 2022 9:58 pm

Re: Game Mockups/Ideas
Really great works, although I would also recommend author's original art, especially landscapes - his most recent screen "Lakeside" blew eyeryone's mind, instantly one of the best depictions of nature on Spectrum ever. There's a possibility that ZX-Art website might have its own animation format in the future, so it would be nice to see all of it animated here. Fictional Cyberpunk 2077 title screen, for example, looks much cooler with animation. Also that Metroid mock-up screenshot looks surprisingly on point considering limitations, reminds me a lot of those official Hudson Soft conversions of Nintendo games for Japanese computers like PC-88.

I tried to figure out a while ago how to upload animated versions of some works to ZX-Art but couldn't figure out what format I needed or if it was possible. The closest I've seen is the flashing attributes format but that only allows 2 frames I guess.
Re: Game Mockups/Ideas
Great stuff, I particularly like the Greek tomb one, very atmospheric and I also like that style of graphic.

Wonderful work! I'd love to see these made into games, especially this one:
