Super Pack Rat Land

askdfjdhgfdg I really wanted to upload this for April but it's now May dA time so this counts as a May upload Never mind apparently only pageviews work that way, but not uploads. How strange!

Anyhow, this is my quite delayed and almost-didn't-happened contest entry for *secret-pony's contest xD The contest can be found here and there are only two weeks left for those who might be interested in it. The subject matter is to draw (almost) anything you'd like with Pack Rat, Secret's character. I wanted to draw him as part of a treasure hunter game. I thought the idea of Pack Rat exploring old tombs and stuff and collecting as much treasure as he could was awesome. Sort of like Wario Land, I guess

This was also a great way for me to practicing Game Boy tiling... although it looks very blatant, I decided to conform to 16x16 tilesets and didn't really make any transition/loop tiles, so this ended up looking a lot like Metroid II and Gargoyle's Quest in that you can basically see all the tiles for what they are without much smooth transitioning. I do think it came out amazing, though, and is the first time I ever braved the world of texturing things. It's scary out there, I tell you.

~Registered111 is responsible for the entire background, whereas I did absolutely everything else. I'd consider this a collab considering how important backgrounds are, and how it basically turned this piece from neat to awesome xD That and it turned into a learning lesson for both of us, since we think we both need to learn how to do tiles better~

That's everything, I think! As usual, even though some people won't read this, this is not a real game; just an image. You have been warned, people who won't read this
