Does anyone have advice on how to credit creators for tileset palettes? Tileset palette updates are about 80% complete, but I need to make sure my credits are in order before that patch is released. Should I do it by chapter (Chapter 1-Plains 1 by Atlas) by tileset ( Plains 1 by Atlas-Chapter 1, Chapter 2), or some other way?

I think you should do it by tileset, rather than by chapter.

Honestly I’m slightly burning out on this project. I’m making slow progress on other portraits, and fiddling with tileset palettes, map sprites, and battle animations. Tileset palettes will be released as soon as possible. (They’re about 50% complete, but It’s slow going because of how complicated the credits document is getting) Please look forward to it!

Oh, huh, I also started doing something like this two or so weeks ago as a touch up 3.1 to post elsewhere, internally calling it the Elibe Jaundice Cured version. :melting_face: It’s almost exclusively palette adjustments though.

Ooh do you have a link or screenshots? I’d love to see your work and how your project’s going!

I guess I can share some that I’ve clipped for some other people that I was comparing the vanilla to.

Eliwood’s the only portrait edit so far because the color change messed with his eyes and made him look older.

Funny, I went a different direction for Renault to sort of hint at his lore.

Serra looks AMAZING! Her eyes look so much better!

I liked how Eliwood looked before… IDK why you changed him. He looks a bit too pink. He doesn’t look bad either. But I think he looked better in the previous version.

Dart looks good. But I feel that making his shirt gray doesn’t match the colorful feel you’ve been doing with all the other portraits.

Here’s an idea: you could make his shirt blue again, but use the white of his bandana to make the stripes stand out more. Here’s a Pirate lady portrait I’ve made for my hack that you can use as reference:

Also… IF you can spare the colors, it would be really cool if you can make his eyes green. Since he’s Rebecca’s brother.

I think I see what you’re saying. I went through all my portraits and gave them new skin tones, but they ended up being very pink/ cool toned. A lot of the vanilla portraits have very saturated yellow skin, so I think I failed at striking that balance. I may need to restart all of the lords’ portraits. Lyn’s is getting messier every time I touch it, and I haven’t quite nailed Eliwood or Hector’s colors.

Here’s a Dart update with the color changes you recommended: (I think he looks much better and more colorful. Thank you so much for the advice!)

Now THAT is a Pirate! Love his look!

For the record, I do like the current Lyn sprite. It suits her well.

Why was this cancelled? :frowning:

I got really terribly burnt out, and was just spinning my wheels and not getting anywhere. I may revisit this project in the future (when I don’t have certain irl stuff in the way)

Believe me, I’m disappointed about this too, and I’d really love to work on this when my mental health is in a better spot
