Light/Holy Temple Theme

[fossil heron]

I think it would be cool to have a theme inspired by the Temple of Time dungeon in Twilight Princess, the Tower of the Gods in Wind Waker or the scrapped Light Temple from the Ocarina of Time beta. It doesn't necessarily need light based puzzles, but the aesthetic of the dungeon theme would have a tone of holiness or embellishment.

light puzzles are coming anyway

as in, mirrors and light refraction

[topaz flower]

Light refraction is unheard of for QM

[mighty chasm]

Really? When? 👀

[mighty chasm]

Dammit, I almost got him.

[pallid cargo]

Wdym refraction?

[topaz flower]

Bending light. If that were to happen, who knows, we get light colors?

[pallid cargo]

I guess I want to clarify if this is a typo of “reflection” or a new mechanic

Only puzzle game off the top of my head with (very simple) refraction mechanics is Talos Principle II

[mighty chasm]

Btw, do you have an idea on how this could look?

As in, could you theoretically draw the basic walls?

Because I could probably make whatever you have in mind myself.

And release it once theme modding is out.

Obviously, I'll credit you as the original creator!

[fossil heron]

I could probably try to do that sometime today

I think the part of the Temple of Time dungeon that appeals to me the most is the marble tiles, columns and stained glass windows. I haven't done a lot of free hand pixel art but I could try to make something basic

[mighty chasm]

Oh, neat!

[mighty chasm]

Is this door tuff?

[winged spindle]

Yo this looks good!!

For what kinda theme is that,

[mighty chasm]

Well, I posted it in the "Light/Holy Temple Theme" request.

Lol-

[steel seal]

holy temple will probably be possible with the Castle Aetheria theme, but yeah

this looks cool

[mighty chasm]

[winged shell]

Seriously tho I need this

"PLEASE INDI I NEED THIS"

"MY SANDSWEPT IS KINDA PLAIN"

[steel seal]

not sure if i love the outlining on this one, but the design itself is really cool!

[mighty chasm]

How do I fix the outlining?

[mighty chasm]

Or should I just throw it away maybe?

[steel seal]

no

i didn't respond because i was driving home

qm doesn't just use black outlines. it also uses much darker versions of its colors

just going from black to nothing, or having differant thicknesses of black, is a bit jarring. using a darker version of the color would be useful here

[mighty chasm]

Oh, was that all?

Okay, that's no big deal!

[winged shell]

nice :3

[mighty chasm]

Also, just so y'all know; Whenever I change something, I also have to make the same change for at least 24 other frames.

[winged shell]

oof

i know how that feels lmao

[minor jay]

Is the whole piece animated? You couldn’t just layer the parts that don’t animate onto the parts that do?

[steel seal]

much nicer!

ty

[steel seal]

do you not just. make sure the first frame is exactly on-point before you edit the rest of them

😭

[winged shell]

know what would be a good theme idea to pair with this

a hell/unholy/dark theme

and maybe a earth temple like theme

[mighty chasm]

Well, I always think the first frame is on point before realising that I need to do some adjustments.

[mighty chasm]

Np!

[mighty chasm]

Well, the piece is already pretty huge in size. The resolution is 512x1024, it has 8 animation frames, and I'm just worried that adding a bunch of layers on top of all that will weaken performance or something.

[steel seal]

fair yeah

[fossil heron]

I was gone for a while but this is super cool!
