2D & 3D / Re: Bitten by the sidescroller bug...

Konrad: Thanks. #3 seems to be the crowd favorite!
Conceit: Wow, lots of critique there! So, As it turns out, I am determined to go the alpha route. I see what you're saying about the size of the particles and I agree - I'd definitely be going that way if I hadn't decided to do alpha. As for the alpha swirls - an excellent idea, and one I shall have to explore. As for the bumblebot blast, yeah, the explosion itself needs some work, I agree. As for the curly explosions, I kinda have to disagree with you - I love 'em and think they make the effect. :D

Okay, so I've been kinda preoccupied recently, I did get some work done on the main character, with any luck I should have something to show for that this weekend. In the meantime I did a quick run on a Hud element - the health bar. The little box is where your current item goes. The starting dull green bars are how much health you can have, the bright green bars are how much health you have. :D

Also came up with a name for the project:

And a first walk test for the main character...

It's very, very rough, I know. Still gonna be doing some major tweaking.
Thoughts?

It's supposed to look like a rattler tail - it's even striped to exemplify this. :D

Wow, thanks for all the feedback, guys! I'm looking at #3 right now, with less lighting on the smoke, with perhaps a bit lighter and more transparent smoke towards the end of the animation.
In the meantime, I've made the death animation for the bumblebot. The idea here is that it's hit in mid-air, and spins into the ground and explodes. It will have a separate smoke and debris trail for added awesome.

I've also re-touched the weapon fire to better match the other effects...it's subtle, but necessary.

And I've finished the next enemy - the RollyPollyBot...I'm not 100% happy with the attack animation - I think it needs some work, but I'd still love any feedback you guys have!


I'll keep the vote on the explosion going for a couple more days - I'm in no rush to make a decision on this, because it's been such a pain so far to get something everyone likes. :D
Thoughts?

Wow. Okay, seems like everyone has a different take on how these things should look. Well, I'm putting it to a vote.

1:
2:
3:
4:

And if there's no clear winner, then I most likely will just choose one. Right now I'm pretty much leaning towards #3. In the mean time, I'm going to lave it alone for a good long while. I'm going a bit insane doing all these variations.

Conceit: I see. Well, I'll do another pass and see if I can come up with the look you're expecting.
Anyhow, I did a pass on a bumblebot taunt animation.


Thoughts?
