Just a quick post to link to a great pixel art tutorial dealing with palette, shading, dithering, and more. Very informative for anyone starting work on pixel art/sprites etc.

Hand drawing sprites is bloody tedious! No wonder so many people just recolour existing characters in games and reuse them.

Lots of progress on the point-and-click game yesterday. Rough outline laid out with a handful of detailed scenes, objects, characters. Got a few backgrounds sorted and the sprites for the main character movement are now in place. Can start messing around with room scripts now.

If anyone is looking to use Adventure Game Studio, a great set of video tutorials can be found here
