Brotherhood of the Hammer

Standard

Some of you old farts around here may remember my old hack, Brotherhood of the Hammer: A narrative about the messy relationships among the Tortoise Army.

This is the revival with a brand-new NES-inspired look.
Cheers and hail Satan.







Still looking for a way to tie off that loose-end.






Feed back appreciated.

Is this Hammer Brother Demo 3 Remastered?

I do somewhat have a hard time believing this uses the NES colour palette at all, but I admire any hack that tries to go for using only 3 colours pur 8x8 tile. The only real criticism I have is between the first four screenshots and the last two screenshots the style seems to clash a little since the castle tileset has a lot of black where as everything else only has black for outlines.

Good luck with the project. And no I won't hail to Satan.

Thanks. I'll see what I can do.

And yeah, I'm freely dipping into SNES palette colors, while keeping the each object and/or tile four colors (sometimes five, but don't tell anyone).

This is gonna look a lot better than Hammer Brother, that crappy SMW hack made by Henrique. Would be nice if this hack only NES colors for the sake of consistency with limited amount per block, though. Also, the BG in the last two screens clashes too much with FG in my opinion.
I have a Discord server as well! (by joining, you agree to the rules)

Basically, I believe in peace and bashing two bricks together.

As bad as a hack is, it's not a nice move to degrade someone's work. That's your opinion.

Try saying that again after actually seeing it in action...

We're not bashing on Henrique/Blackout77 himself by saying that it's bad. We're just saying this is arguably better than it.

Been working on an art-style for the OW.

I like the looks of it! It has a pretty medieval-esque feel. It might be a bit flat (as in, there's no height variation) but I don't see this as an issue in this specific case.

If your intent on making an smb3 styled overworld, for consistency I would honestly change Mario's OW sprite to match it.
                                                                                                                  
                              
Thanks, Blind Devil. : )

@Plasmodium00: The Mario OW sprite is a placeholder and eventually will be gutted out and replaced completely, since the player isn't even going to be Mario at all (just as the first screenshots already indicate).

Oh my, I remember this from so long ago! Face, this so far is looking good. I'm liking the NES aesthetic so far. I can't wait to play this when it comes out.
Thanks. Glad to hear. Good to see you around still btw.

Hopefully this time, I'll have a demo out sooner than later.
