Loved what I guessed being Maria in Rotwang's lab.  Nice filters, poses and FXs.

Hey, do you like that? Please let me know your opinion BD .
This looks great!!! And I really like the bed animation and sound effects. What a unique project. With the holidays approaching I'm finally getting a chance to look at some other projects. Keep it up!!!

Hello there, the project still goes on, kinda slow but is the best i can do for now. I went through hard times, depression and lack of money (the last one still) , i've schedule a release of an alpha until the end of the month. The project it self is kinda deprecied right know because i'd lost almost everything on my notebook, weeks ago, so i for me it's kinda difficult rebuild/remember the improvements which i have done in the first time. I'm glad that i've found people who believes in the project and help me, i've to thank: @Cyanide, @spritemight and @Marquise*; Thanks to them the project is what is now. Stay tunned.




 





 


My friend made an original soundtrack and let me use in the project, please check it out:

Sorry, out of likes now.  I love the very sober music. I don't know if it is my really badly running computer, but it went choppy for me a bit and... seems like the doors closed on a few heads somewhere.  But in all it is looking good so far.  You'll have learned so many things after that one that any new games will seem to you really easy.

Hey RocketKnight!

Just wanted to say how much I like the project (I played the demo) and encourage you to carry on with it. I admire your ambition, the fact that you're making project of this scope and caliber is very inspirational. I only wish it was commercial* seeing all the effort that went into it.

I wonder what's your main source material, the novel or the film?

I would offer help with the graphics but I'm doing digital painting mostly not pixel art and have problems keeping my own deadlines these days, so wouldn't want to hold back the project.

Anyway, keep going! This is simply too cool to remain unfinished. Personally I'm looking forwad to visit Yoshiwara's House of Sin! :troll::rock-right:

* hmm just checked it, you probably know it already, Murnau Foundation keep their hands on the movie rights until 2022 in US and until 2047 in Germany and I'm not sure what's the status of the novel, in some countries like Australia it might be in public domain already (50 years since the author's death) but in most it's probably 70 years since von Harbou's death so it will probably remain in copyright until 2024 :/
Here's the link to the article on the film copyright in case you need it: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2016/10/19/copyright-and-metropolis/

That is so unfair, just bad luck, could someone on your team have another backup? maybe there should be a way to restore the lost data, hope everything goes smoothly for the project. Best hope.

Nooooooooo :frown:
So sorry to hear about that @RocketKnight. Can nothing be done to retrieve the data, maybe you could find some IT workshop people who specialize in that? I hope there's still chance and you will resume the work someday regardless (rather sooner than later hopefully). I logged in after watching Metropolis again (Giorgio Moroder version <3) to check on your project, only to learn this devastating news :(

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
