You sir have created an awesome and wicked fun game! Much like Robot Unicorn Attack, just without the Robot Unicorns attacking. 

If only it were just a tiny, tiny, tiny little bit easier so that a game would last longer than 5 seconds. Maybe you could add a double-jump? Or the possibility to control the hight of the jump? (but then again, maybe I'm just getting old...)

(oh, and since the is the Pixelation forum: yes, it also looks nice)

started doing all the other directions...



This is still WIP and any C&C is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi

the more time I invest in pixeling, the more I realize I need to start small... So, I've decided to create a little "Indiana Jones' Desktop Adventures"-like sprite.

This is what I used as an inspiration: http://www.theraider.net/information/games/desktop_adventures.php

This is the current state of the sprite: (<- the one on the right is the latest one)

What I'm trying to achieve is a 50s type of guy. White suite, stranded on an island in the south seas, never losing his sense of style. Just like "Don The Beachcomber" (http://www.ovi.ch/b377/articles/queen/headdress.jpg)

The sprite is supposed to have the left hand in his pocket and it's perfectly ok that he's a little chubby. :-)

any c&c is very much welcomed!

Thanks

Hello everybody

I'm very much a pixel-art noob and come here for advice. Please let me know if this is not the correct place to ask.

I'm working on a kind of jump'n'run seen "from an angle" (it uses the same perspective as "Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga"). So, it's kind of a pseudo 3D jump and run. The biggest challenge for me are the sprites as the player has 8 possible directions to move (and of course the player can jump, etc).

How do you make different "directions" that look correct? Do you start with outlines and a trial & error approach or is there a trick?
And what can I do to make the character look cartoonish and cheerful? Is it just the colours?

Below is my first version of the player (looking south and a first walk-frame).


I would be very thankful for any kind of critique and comments!

thanks!
