Update of old 8 bit game 'Werewolves of London' (CPC version pics at http://www.cpczone.net/index.php?game=1123 ). Obviously not using the old widepixel look, and also now using the full width of the screen res rather than the cropped window of the old game. Also using height of 240 to add 'widescreen' borders for more cinematic look. Old version was like that sorta on monitors anyways. No more time left to refine bits but I'm happy with it as it is. Tried some stuff I hadn't really done before and found me a different way of drawing characters I hadn't done before either, so yeah. Oh yeah the werewolf is the main player character, so yup, much killing fun to be had.

station (Level 1 Rookie) @ 12/30/2008 14:18

Very nice. I love all the details. And that corpse is amazing. GJ

jamienos (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 11/12/2007 10:15

It did look like a camera at first, but if i zoom in i can see the handle.. so ya..

radanator (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/25/2007 03:03

i'm shocked i don't know wat 2 say really

cure (Level 11 Pixellite) @ 10/24/2007 13:30

@jamienos: He's shielding himself with a briefcase.

Nucleus (Level 1 Rookie) @ 10/16/2007 04:36

I quickly fell in love with this piece. you captured the early 90's arcade style perfectly. seems like that wolverine looking character got ripped to shreds. as sputnik noted, the blood bag is brilliant. as for the wolf's next meal, seems more like a business guy shielding himself with his briefcase.

jamienos (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 10/8/2007 11:44

I love the poor guy taking the photo! Haha. faved

sputnik (Level 3 Sergeant) @ 10/3/2007 05:59

This is a great pixel. Hehe I noticed the little blood level thing at the top. Love your arcade style, Wolverine =]

exocet (Level 6 Major) @ 9/30/2007 14:44

I don't know the original game but your mockup looks really good, the characters are detailed and expressive, and their pose is very dynamic.

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 9/30/2007 14:07

I thought I had faved that lil EGA action scene you did but turns out I hadn't. Have done so now. Thanks for comments.

YanaySama (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 9/30/2007 00:48

It's great! love every pixel in it.

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) @ 9/29/2007 16:59

hahahaha exelent! very nice details and colors. i love the blood scale at top left its awesome.

Adarias (Level 11 Bonsai) @ 9/26/2007 19:30

might benefit from use of another near-black for smoothing, but very nice nonetheless and the harsh dirty look of the value gap is not undesireable in this case

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 9/26/2007 11:47

Woah, some awesome work here, man.
Characters look superb, and the background is solid.

atlas (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/25/2007 18:43

Really great piece man. I dig the way you designed your sprites. My only question is...where was the thunder?

Carnivac (Level 8 Behemoth) @ 9/25/2007 12:25

I know the feeling. Was just browsing through the top rated pixel art of this sites history and darn, theres some amazing stuff that are way above my current skills.

Thanks to everyone for the nice comments.

DirgeSinger (Level 1 Rookie) @ 9/25/2007 11:53

Sometimes I look at some of the stuff on PixelJoint, and it just depresses me, and for a couple different reasons:

1. I wish I could have the knownledge to be that good

2. I wish I had the time to be that good

and 3. Because I wish these images and mockups could be actual screenshots of available games.

Great job on this! I love the Werewolf. The other characters are funny and it makes for a great scene!

Make a game, I command you

d-p (Level 11 Psychopath) @ 9/25/2007 11:14

Fantastic. Look at all those details.

macula (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/25/2007 09:38

Fantastic. I want to play this game.

schrumpfkopf (Level 4 Team Leader) @ 9/25/2007 08:23

lovely gamescene - the background has maybe a bit too much contrast - but still a fav

pain (Level 9 Nidan) @ 9/24/2007 07:01

great ...

phob (Level 3 Hatchikyu) @ 9/24/2007 02:22

ohoooo, nice piece. man at left screen is very very scared :))) nice but is it blind for game :((

A.B. Lazer (Level 3 Private Eye) @ 9/23/2007 23:38

FRESH!

Opacus (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 9/23/2007 23:25

I love you!

1sT (Level 1 Thug) @ 9/23/2007 22:18

got my vote!

Cheshire (Level 1 Intern) @ 9/23/2007 22:02

This is the best peace I've seen for this week challenge yet. Good work

PS Preview is cynical funny!

Doppleganger (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 9/23/2007 20:58

Now that's a winner! Great work on this.
Reminds me of Zombies ate my Neighbors. :)

DJD (Level 4 Button Man) @ 9/23/2007 18:08

I've been fawning over your site recently and I gotta say this and everything else is just ace. I'm a big fan of the way you use black prominently in characters.

ooshmaster (Level 5 Soldier) @ 9/23/2007 18:06

What I hate about great mock-ups such as this is it makes me really want to play the game, but the game doesn't actually exist. So then I'm all pissed off. Thanks a lot!

Oh, and I was going to add something about the blood bag being a superb and original Idea, but I see that it was in the original as well... Better luck next time! (You still get my vote)

eghost (Level 6 Hitman) @ 9/23/2007 17:45

Awsome piece Wolvie...

Love the expression on the guy with the briefcase...

soda (Level 10 President) @ 9/23/2007 17:19

Wow, great entry, everything is top notch.
