MIG n ZIGGY

Hi Everyone,

Concepts for a new Amiga Platform game.

MIG n ZIGGY

320x256 (C64 16 colour palette).

Mig is the Alien and Ziggy is the drone.

Mig the main character is still in development He is possibly a combination of (Zool, Turrican, Mario, IK+)

The focus at the moment is fine tuning the pixel work and having fun design.

Oooh nice one man. Looks great.

Predseda · 30 May 2015, 11:01

Soo beautiful!

Superman · 30 May 2015, 11:25

Looking very nice!

ptyerman · 30 May 2015, 11:56

Yeah, bring it on!

dreamkatcha · 30 May 2015, 13:11

Definitely one to keep an eye on! (both of them even)

Why does it refer to the C64 colour palette?

invent · 30 May 2015, 13:32

Thanks for the feedback.

Dreamkatcha, the reference to the palette is a way of me imposing some limit to the design. The game would also ideally play on the very first Amiga, A1000.

The palette could change but I do like the connection of C64 and Amiga in some way.

I recently have been reading up on the colour/hardware limits on various 8-bit systems , http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...dware_palettes. And found the C64 quite a interesting challenge.

This looks really nice, love the chosen colour palette (keep it that way) and the tidy graphics.
I look forward to playing this one day for sure, you have a natual talent for great pixel work

This graphics looks nice!

I think the C64 palette is very carefully chosen, i didn't really appreciate it at first but when i read about DawnBringer's 16 colour palette and the theory behind it, it occurred to me that the C64 palette is actually quite similar.

Looks like graphics for new commodore game called Sam. Are those Your graphics for sure?

Reynolds · 31 May 2015, 08:54

nice, and well polished, also original look for me.

JudasEZT · 31 May 2015, 10:47

reminds me to Gribbly's Day Out.. which is a nice thing.

I would love to see a game of this.

Hi Gzegzolka, yes they are all my graphics. Possibly the collectable jewel is very close in style. I'd like to have a spinning collectable (either the Boing Ball - but that might be too hard to get rights to using it and complicated), have updated the first post image to show a few extra graphics. Has a Boing Ball for testing colour conversion from 3D render.

Hi Lurch more info about Sams Journey here: Lots of great C64 references.

Sam's Journey is truly amazing. Definately an inspiring project for sure.

Although the boing ball sounds like a good idea, I don't think that it fits very well with the rest of the lovely pixel work you have done.

The only connection between the two of them is Commodore.

The Amiga is more closely related to the Atari XL/XE, because the same engineer, Jay Miner, designed both.

Looks really cool!

) and keep us updated about the development progress

Locutus · 20 June 2015, 09:39

Thats some quality pixel work!

Predseda · 24 November 2015, 10:16
