Removing the learning curve is a bit pointless though, since it's the curve in which you learn, hence the name.  ;)

Anyway, I use Multimedia Fusion 2 for my own projects. It's available from www.clickteam.com and the standard version costs $100. So it's not free, but not expensive. Any sort 2D game is possible to do with it, and there's a fairly large community for it too.

I'd also recommend this book, On Game Design. It's a great book about game design, we had it in our first course on the university and I've probably read through it about a dozen times or more. Definitely a good read if you're into games. The author is also a really nice guy.  :)

Good luck with the game making man!

Started this yesterday after watching A Fistfull of Dollars. Could say I got a bit inspired  ::)



I've just started with the head but I'm planning on making a full character of him.
Sketched in PS, modeled in Silo.

Don't get me wrong, I think making chiptunes 'with' the limitations is awesome. Even more awesome if it sounds really really good. But I think that they could make something cool with more channels and stuff, which would still sound "chiptune-ish"

I got inspired by Megaman 9 and started messing around in Fruity Loops. I think it's a good example of what I meant as well.

Since it seems they'll (maybe) be working outside of NES restrictions one thing they could do that would be neat is to make music for the game with more than the 5 original channels.

Being a total Mega Man fan, this is just gold to me!  ;D

I like the fact that it's going on WiiWare, and with NES graphics. It just makes sense. The series started on NES, which other console would be a better match for a new NES-ish game in the series than the one where the controller actually resembles the NES one? Plus, that it's a new game. I wouldn't wanna spend Wii Points on the old games since I already own both anniversary collections, so seing this tickles my fanboy senses. (I know I'm saying stuff already said, but I need to get it out of the system :P)

I think Capcom will do the series right with the graphics. I mean, the one constant in the series besides gameplay is the graphics. It's always been more than decent, even for some of the more stupid spinn-offs.

I hope they don't re-use to much music. Boss battle music and such stuff would be ok, but I wouldn't wanna hear Metal Man's theme on another level than just that level.

However, I'm looking forward to this release!  :D

Oh wow! That looks great!  ;D
Love the design. I may very well be inspired by your Shredder when I finally create him.
I really like the mix of 2k3 Shredder with Movie Shredder. Very nice style.  :)
Thank you!  :)

Though, going by the 2k3 style, his claws are on his left hand... Take a look here... http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/8339/shredderten2if5.jpg
Yeah, you're right. I actually wrote wrong there. I'd meant to write that he's right handed and not left handed, but I was really tired when I wrote it (it was about 2AM or something here then)

And btw, he has the claws on the left hand in the 1991 movie as well.  :)


Anyway, you got me interested in posting some of my incomplete characters. I just recently designed Leatherhead to add to this post.  ;D




Feel free to design more characters, Luzeke. I'd be interested see your personal take on Krang.

Cool! I dig the Leatherhead and casey Jones sprites. There are so many characters you can throw in, especially if you mix the different series. Triceratons, Professor Honeycutt, Ancient One (he would be an awesome sprite, all small and chubby) etc. Although I do prefer the Utroms over Krang. And let's not forget the Rat King http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/71/TMNT405EpisodeGuide.png

Nice stuff as always!  :)

Have been on a TMNT rush myself the past couple of weeks (watched through the entire 2k3 series a while ago) and got the urge to make a Shredder sprite in the style of your game. Hope you don't mind. :D (Used your April sprite for size reference)



It's not 100% spot on. But then again, didn't spend much time on it (about 20 min)
I went for a mix of the 2k3 style and the first live action movie style of Shredder.

Let's face it, Shredder is the coolest villain ever (not counting the inept Shredder from the 1987 cartoon though).

:)

EDIT// Ah! I just noticed I put his hand blades on the wrong hand  :huh: , Shredder is left handed not right handed.

Just found this on youtube. Thought it was kinda neat.

I listen to a lot of stuff. If it sounds good I'll listen to it, but I'm partial to Alternative Rock, Chip/Gamemusic, Orchestral/Symphony and Industrial. Not really narrowing it down :P

Here are "some" favorites, in no specifik order at all.

Seether
Sevendust
TMG (Tak Matsumoto Group)
Queens of the Stoneage
Black Mages
Creed
Kamelot
Arctic Monkeys
Onmyouza
Mind Bomb
Mew
Hanz Zimmer
The Brilliant Green
Beltaine
Camille
iMOGEN HEAP/Frou Frou
Jamiroquai
Agonoize
Andy McKee

Some specifik tracks i recommend:

Fury in my eyes - http://youtube.com/watch?v=9VjX2DflxFI - An awesome song from an awesome anime.
Libera Me from hell - http://youtube.com/watch?v=oAlztMvvNkk&feature=related - probably one of the best blends between classical music and hiphop.
Enemy - http://youtube.com/watch?v=uygz-deonGM
Fake it - http://youtube.com/watch?v=wWfP1RqGXyo&feature=related
Drifting - http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4 - This guy is just awesome!
Hanabi - http://youtube.com/watch?v=emrd1iMeaEg

I'm currently listening to the No More Heroes soundtrack. It has some really good songs, even though most are variations of the theme. As far as (new i.e. not old-school like NES- or SNES-era) game soundtracks go Okami, Viewtiful Joe and No More Heroes pretty much sums up the best game music. Traditional RPG music doesn't really count because it all sounds pretty much the same, and Hollywood does it better.

I'm going to post some updates on my warrior vs monster sketch soon. Just ain't getting the colors right yet. Don't have much time to sketch at all as well :(

Anyways, in the meantime, a quick PS doodle:

(Gah, those horrible feet!)

And also, here's my two latest FL pieces ;D

I put them on my university ftp. It has a security certificate... thingy, you need to accept.
It's nothing dangerous though. Don't have any other place to host my non-pic files yet, sorry  :-[
