This is the best method I know of, but there are two problems with it:ġ) Not everyone has access to Photoshop there have to be some less expensive options out thereĢ) This filter doesn't do dithering (breaking shades up into dots and patterns to create in-between shades). I advise that you convert the image to Grayscale before you Posterize. I used Posterize to get the image of a human face into my game (no spoilers yet as to which one). Fortunately for us, it can be as few as 3. This is the way I know of: Photoshop has a filter called "Posterize" that reduces an image down to the number of colors you select. To my eye it even looks like most of the background tiles and sprites are imports.: I believe this is what Mugi did with his Dimension Drive title screen. That's why digitized graphics are best rendered in black and white, at least to start out with. Digitizing scenes with a lot of details and shadows - basically any photo, but also some art - won't look nearly as impressive when the colors are limited to 3 out of 64.

When dealing with the NES, there's an unavoidable loss due to its color limitations. The only question is.how? What's the best method? Anyone can use their average, common computer to drop a piece of art, a photo or a CGI model into a retro game. And good news - we're not in the 90s anymore, so digitized graphics no longer require expensive workstations. Another blend of farming, building and fighting is waiting for you in Social Empires by Social Point In short, this game allows you to commit a wide range of activities from planting crops to training soldiers and slaying ugly trolls.As any gamer in the 90s will will you, digitized pre-rendered graphics are radical, dude.

Social Empires is very much like the old Age of Empires series of games. Your main goal is to build your own empire and conquer the world, so don’t forget to develop your army. Players start with a town center and can produce villagers by using food. Farms can be constructed and other resources can be collected to help the town grow.

The town can have defenses in the form of towers and walls. Players can develop armies from their barracks and battle trolls on the map. Simple quests can be done for gold rewards and soon the game will give players the ability to battle other Facebook users too. Social Empires gives you several resources to collect. You have wood, stone, food and gold available for your growing village. Food can be collected by using farms or collecting sheep and cows. Food production is by far the most important later on as you need it to build military units and especially villagers. More food can be collected by building mills. Wood can be cut from the trees scattered around the map and later a lumber mill can give more wood. Both stone and gold can be mined from the resources on the map and later have mines built that give a steady stream of resources. Be sure to add villagers to mines to get the output you need. The game has a few basic units including spearmen, archers and cavalry units. As you develop your village swordsmen, knights, and heavy archers become available. You’ll need barracks, archery ranges, and stables to produce each unit in the game. Currently you can attack trolls and troll camps on the game map but this is supposed to change soon so you can battle other Facebook users on a world map as well which would be a lot of fun. You can also build towers and at later levels surround your base with walls and even have a castle. With game cash you can build wonders on the game map which give you a large quantity of resources for your empire. You have things such as the Chinese wall, Inca god, pyramids, Sphinx and so on. General Game Play and Conclusion (4 out of 5) For example the Inca god gives you 600 food every six hours. Overall Social Empires is a nice looking game that shows enormous potential. The graphics are decent for a Facebook game and you can zoom in and out of the map for a better view. The only complaint is that the resources as a bit too far apart. The game has a nice soundtrack and the whole things loads quickly into your browser. If you dont know what Social Empires is, its just a game or app on facebook and I used to.

At a full zoom you can get a nice bit of detail to the game and it’s a nice a nice change from farming, city building or text based RPG games on Facebook.

While there’s nothing groundbreaking here the game is worth playing. Look for a full Social Empires guide coming soon.
