ATARI CROSSING :) JUST A SPRITE ARTIST WITH TOO MUCH TIME.

[gorfcadet]

So my family has clocked in waaaay too many hours on Animal Crossing and I was thinking there really isn't a reason this couldn't have worked back in the day and then I thought what would it look like on my beloved 7800.  So some quick mocks using 7800 palette colors and some fatmode stretch later and here is some basic Atari Crossing layout mocks.  Granted no battery backup back in the day would have sucked, but there were battery backup games on other systems and the 7800 was slated to have had add ons, so ya know... Of course I might replace Tom Nook with ET or something... damn trash panda.

 

7800 fat pixels of course...

 

If I get bored I may add to my tile sets just for fun.

Anyone else play Animal Crossing want to add to the 8bit cast?  My daughters won't forgive me if I don't add Peanut.

Anyway, cool that you’re into oldschool sprites!

 

Good luck with your projects!

Have a look around at the threads here; there are other people either doing or learning to do 7800 programming, music, demos etc.

 

All good,

Giles

Too much on my plate to program, but mad respect for those who do.  I do carry my weight as a level designer and I hope my sprite work shows the time I typically put in on a project.  When I get my kids off to college and life slows down I prob will learn to program.  I studied Turbo C and Pascal when I was in high school. I keep thinking of getting into Batari Basic or that NES GUI driven thing sooner or later, but I have some projects I’m not at liberty to discuss (the NDAs are killer) that are keeping me busy.

Very cute! I could see this working on the ol' 7800.
