 SO STYLISH! Are you a game designer?


user
Gwes (Level 2 Corporal) at 4/27/2013 7:21:23 AM

I would totally give this a try if it were a real game.  Leonardo is one of my favorites.

vmarach21 (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 11/3/2012 7:57:51 PM

 Would be n awesome game, maybe not super action packed but would have a prof. Layton feel... Which I love...

Just beautiful...


user
Muziak (Level 3 Enforcer) at 8/13/2012 12:20:37 AM

 It's just amazing. Nuff said.


user
Cyangmou (Level 5 Detective) at 11/3/2011 1:36:58 AM

I wished I'd have played a game like this during my GBA time. I really like this because it's modern game design with old art ideas and it looks beautiful. The colors are also remembering to oil paintings but also to modern gba games and this shows the  perfect middle way. If I won't fave this I'd lie to myself.

I really like your old master mockups and also your current Van Gogh WIP and because of this you are one of my favourite artits - I sign this with a fave.

@MCSuire, see this forum thread :)


user

This looks like a game that I must either play or bury myself in a hole and die.

There is so many pixel pieces in galleries that Im missing a lot of true pearls.
Heh, There's really enough content there for a small game :)

MMM103 (Level 1 Thug) at 10/2/2010 3:41:24 PM

Oh my goodness I saw the Engineering Journal and the first thing I thought was "Dark Cloud 2 except even more awesome". Jal, I love you.


user
brainsick (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/11/2010 2:30:06 PM

I'm surprised this isn't already linked elsewhere, but Medici continues.

Love the piece and love seeing the continued support in the form of tiles and sprites.


user
mashimi (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/4/2010 6:21:40 PM

amazing! i went to your WIP thread and read that there isn't eany true black in your palette. I would never have enough skill to be as good as jal :(   5*


user
jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 9/2/2010 11:49:05 AM

Well you are in Florence and you where you want to fly is selected is what I thought...just a mockup.


user
Kiwi (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 9/2/2010 11:39:26 AM

 I have a question:

In the 3d screenshot, the one selected is supposed to be florence? because florence is not there, it's souther.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence

Anyway, awesome! I love the font, and the puzzles idea, and the fact that leonardo is a cutiepie


user
Jaker Pot (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 8/17/2010 8:11:33 PM

This should be a game!!!

I would buy it for sure :D

 One of your best works yet. Great work!


user
vampireslug (Level 4 Deputy) at 6/11/2010 6:21:31 AM

This really, really, really needs to be made into a game... I wish I knew how to program <sigh>.

user
RPG_Boy (Level 5 Captain) at 4/19/2010 4:54:00 PM

 i cant stop looking at this piece


user
Manupix (Level 11 CEO) at 4/17/2010 5:06:47 AM

Yikes! What a shock, I hadn't looked at the thread for ages.

I love Mona so much. I wonder what the utterly useless invention can be. And I'm perfectly happy about the Engineering Journal. =)

Italy looks like a lake surrounded by land, I love it that way.

Only problem I have is with the open legs in the title screen, because of interference with the text they look weird.

 

Edit: Italy as a country didn't exist then, so the northern frontier is anachronistic.


user
iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 4/11/2010 10:16:00 AM

Love absolutely everything about it!

It's come a long way since the initial doodles :)


user
lytron (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 4/11/2010 8:31:38 AM

It's always fantastic to see faked screenshots here that make me want to play these games! ;)


user
Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 4/11/2010 3:45:46 AM

Very cute and detailed, I love the tiles!


user
Phones (Level 1 Jukyu) at 4/10/2010 5:44:47 PM

 Is this in a tileset? If so, it'd be pretty cool to see that too.


user
cassiechihuahua (Level 1 Gangster) at 4/9/2010 4:28:45 PM

This is eye candy..Good job. Looks like it would be an neat game, got a lot of interesting little perks, too.

Nightmare Maker (Level 7 Underboss) at 4/7/2010 1:18:00 PM

This is AWESOME D:

I lol'd hard at the "I will pose for you but first bring me..."

Seriously, get a programmer.


user
Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/7/2010 7:14:55 AM

I'm not keen on the sprite style and find it quite offputting but I do love the work gone into all the details and shading of the tiles and stuff.


user
Dirteater (Level 1 Private) at 4/7/2010 5:09:56 AM

I don't think this could be anymore badass.


user
oCo (Level 4 Button Man) at 4/6/2010 11:35:44 PM

The amount of work gone into that seems huge.

Love the buildings.


user
buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 4/6/2010 2:33:38 PM

I am speechless. The colours and mixing gives it the artistic feel perfectly. I especially love the map screenshot!


user
Wut (Level 1 Thug) at 4/6/2010 2:15:51 PM

I envy your skills.


user
ev149 (Level 4 Murderer) at 4/6/2010 1:38:34 PM

Great job, you should seriously find a programmer to work on this! 


user
Doppleganger (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 4/6/2010 11:37:50 AM

I actually don't know what the first/second is. I only see Dali and this one.

Nonetheless, I thought I would add that the perseverence of you and the community is what really makes this stand out. Looking through the thread, I can see the clear progress that made this the mastery that it is.


user
Doppleganger (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 4/6/2010 11:31:05 AM

Incredible work! I haven't even seen the second, but Dali was phenomenal, and this one floors me! I knew you were a great artist, but Hot Damn! you really pulled out all the stops on this one. Kudos to you!


user
Ghostclown (Level 2 Quiet One) at 4/6/2010 10:03:18 AM

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) at 4/6/2010 5:21:44 AM

yey!

haven't followed the wip thread in the forum, but damn, this must have taken forever to pixel. so much yummy details. especially diggin' all the little items that are spread all over the screens and florence's buildings & pavement

 


user
Vertigo-Zero (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 4/6/2010 5:13:36 AM

Pitch it! This needs to be made for the DS!


user
Manjaman (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 4/6/2010 4:30:43 AM

Ooh God.

That's impressive.

Vitruvian man looks awkward compared to the rest though.

The  darker slabs in the gardens are too dark in some areas, it could be improved.

But God....


user
Mis-BUG (Level 8 Cannibal) at 4/5/2010 11:54:45 PM

Ok.. now I want to play this :D


user
Victor Rojo (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 4/5/2010 11:36:18 PM

10/10 and inspiring... By this we love pixel art ^^


user
lucas_irineu (Level 8 Cannibal) at 4/5/2010 7:49:24 PM

 Very awesome. Character sprites remind me of Minish Cap.

 

You gotta finish the Picasso shmup some day, though. :P

The pallete and the clean look are very professional. Big thumps up here.


user
stonewall (Level 1 Thug) at 4/5/2010 2:32:36 PM

Gorgeous! I really would like to play all your game mockups. <3 <3 <3


user
Perkele (Level 4 Murderer) at 4/5/2010 1:55:06 PM

Followed this piece in the WIP thread and am seriously amazed how this turned out right now, excellent job - but i suppose you know that yourself anyway. Your mock-ups are constantly getting better and, as already mentioned once, I'm looking forward to an Escher- or Magritte-themed one. Any chance that you might ever create an actual game?


user
fawful (Level 6 Yonkyu) at 4/5/2010 1:30:50 PM

Stuningly fab.


user
dpixel (Level 9 Vice President) at 4/5/2010 1:20:35 PM

Outstanding!  Design, concept and especially colors are all great.  How the hell do you do it?

user
Ninja Crow (Level 3 Private Eye) at 4/5/2010 11:52:08 AM

Seven hundred and twenty-four by six hundred and forty-six.

And yet, nary a single pixel that isn't perfect.

Dang it, J, my medical insurance doesn't cover such situations.

I want to do more than just call out my favourite parts, so I guess I'll agree with Adam and say the Vitruvian Man's face doesn't look like the sketch (please disregard if that was your intention).

I'm going to favourite this and study it for a long long time.


user
Jim16 (Level 7 Sheriff) at 4/5/2010 11:31:02 AM

I've waited all day to see this in full resolution(Saw it kinda on bro's mobile at work). So yeah, just brilliant man!.


user
DawnBringer (Level 10 Maniac) at 4/5/2010 10:17:38 AM

 Mother of all mockups! And, yeah...those tiles are snazzy. :)


user
Haash (Level 3 Enforcer) at 4/5/2010 9:42:31 AM

I loved the "You found a puzzle" part. You can feel the happiness of the character as he finds the puzzle. It makes me feel like solving something...

Great piece!


user

Adam (Level 9 Major General) at 4/5/2010 7:48:16 AM

Wow! Fantastic piece! If you'd worked a bit more on the face in the title screen, I'd say perfect.


user

I love you <3 


user
Peach (Level 6 Made) at 4/5/2010 5:56:01 AM

no way!

Can't say anything else but "fantastico" :)

Totally love the streets of Florence and the puzzle game (reminds me of Prof. Layton). The only thing that I would have worked a little bit better is the Gioconda, but who cares! 


user
RollerKingdom (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 4/5/2010 3:35:23 AM

this is just freakin amazing Jalonso!


user
Gunstar_Red (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/5/2010 3:20:06 AM

I want to play it!

Gas 13 (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 4/5/2010 2:43:57 AM

Heh, that's interesting and inspiring. I love the way you bring historical art into the game again.

this is insane, your effort is so inspiring

user
Kinnison (Level 1 Rookie) at 4/5/2010 1:24:58 AM

This is too awesome, would love to see this in an actual game made using RPG Maker :p
