General Discussion / Ultra-portable options for pixelling on-the-go
« on: July 30, 2008, 01:02:25 pm »
I was thinking lately that if I owned an iPhone or iPod Touch I would possibly develop a pixelling application so I could pixel anywhere.
This got me wondering if there are any products out there at the moment which could be used like this. The main features would be:

  • Small enough to be portable - wouldn't have to be as small as a iPhone, but a 13" laptop would be the max.
  • Able to be connected to the network at home to transfer files to the home computer.
  • Can run existing pixelling software or can run Java or Flash (so I could develop the software).
  • Cheaper than buying a low-range laptop.

Anyone know of a product that could suit these needs?

Pixel Art / Yaaaarrrgh! Here be a pirate! **UPDATED** Mock up added
« on: April 29, 2008, 10:36:34 pm »
Hi everyone,

I posted some pixel sushi here ages ago have been a regular lurker since. I've finally found myself with some time to work on something I've had in mind for a while, a pirate platformer. Kudos to Traps 'n' Treasures on the Amiga for inspiration from when I was a kid. Here's just the hero character for now, looking for plenty of C+C as this is still WIP:

I'm using Arne's V20 palette. For the final mock up I'm planning (and actual game if I have the time) I may change this.

**UPDATE**

Here's the run animation.

**UPDATE** 12/07/2008

Finally got some time to come back to this.
Here is the final hero character, I've moved away from Arne's palette now (I'm not using any colour restrictions) but it was a great starting point.



And the final run animation. Haven't had a chance to recolour this to the same as the above still shot.



And a mock up!



No enemies as yet. This is the main thing I'm looking for feedback on as the character I'm pretty finished with now.

And, a spinning coin.

Some of you may remember a little while ago I posted some pixel sushi and got some great feedback. Well here is what it was all for, an updated design for my portfolio website:

The sushis are in there along with a few other pixel works including the sushi train conveyor and table, soy sauce bottle (clickable), chopsticks (clickable) and some stuff on the about page and contact page.

Cheers!
