Gorgeous assets! I just bought the bundle that includes this. So excited to make a game with them!

I had a few questions though if that was okay. Forgive me for being such an amateur! I've been messing with the tiles in Game Maker Studio 2 and I just can't seem to get it to look like your examples.

What is the background black that you're using that makes it look so amazingly retro?

What size room/viewport would you recommend for the best look?

Thanks so much!

Hello,

thanks for your message :)
the background color code is: #0B0E10, you can find it in the color-palette file.

the viewport really depends on your game, I usually do a multiple of 160x144 and then port it to 16:9 like. 320x288/ 640x etc.

hope that helps,

regards

Sam

Thanks so much for your reply! I should have guessed it would be in the palette lol

I'm still having some trouble with the viewport and camera size.

I recreated one of your example rooms and added the character (your character recolored).

The Room Size = 208x192

What size would you make the camera for this room? And in turn, the viewport?

that would be 320x180 :) (16:9 aspect ratio)
