SLARPG trailer #1 opening shot (Patreon)

Taking a break from talking about Faith, if you saw me mention working on tilesets on Twitter at 7am this morning, this is what I was working on: a nighttime version of the overworld map!

SLARPG doesn't have a day/night cycle, but a few points in the story do take place at night, including the game's opening. I was going to open that scene (and therefore, the trailer) with a hand drawn shot of Greenridge at night, but instead decided to save some time (and work a shot of the overworld into the trailer) by recoloring the overworld tileset into a nighttime color scheme

It took a lot of fiddling to get the color scheme just right, but I think it ended up looking really great! I'm especially proud of how cool the town looks with all those lights on. And really, having the trailer show a nice looking environment from the game as quickly as possible, rather than a drawing, will probably end up being a smart move

You also might notice a few new things that I added to the overworld map last night - i.e., that huge tower in the middle of town. I'll talk about that later
