There are many games which do it just as well or some things even better. Ever played Metal Slug? (up to 3 all the newer ones are meh)

I shouldn't have been quite so broad in my statements :)  Metal Slug certainly does look as well done if not better than DoDonPachi, but among SHMUPS, this one is hard to top.  I think that's fair to say.

I know I'm a barely-double-digit-post-newb here but I think the edit above is downright sacrilege.  DoDonPachi is the pinnacle of hand-drawn pixel art in gaming, as far as I'm concerned.  I haven't seen a better collection of incredible unit designs, effects, animations, backgrounds, and overall "feel."  It's usually the first place I go to use as a reference on drawing rocks, grass, buildings, tanks, fire, and basically anything else that appears in the game.

This is a masterpiece.  If you're not making game art and being paid very well to do it, you should be.

The walking animation just needs a touch of bounce... (to the whole thing, pervs!)  Imagine the top of her head making a sine wave as she walks along.

Pixel Art / Re: Sub-pixel by hand? Silly little experiment.

Here's one more I did to demonstrate the technique to a coworker.  You can do a lot with 2 pixel-wide fonts :)

Pixel Art / Sub-pixel by hand? Silly little experiment.
« on: September 08, 2006, 05:18:56 pm »
This is just a little experiment.  Not really art, I guess.  Anyway... this little diagonal line is exactly 1.33 pixels, or 4 sub-pixels, wide.  It only works on an LCD screen as far as I know.  The goal is to use the individual red, green, and blue components of a pixel as pixels themselves.  I tried to do a little bit of anti-aliasing, but it's kind of an unusual mental exercise to draw this way anyway, and it was late.

Without further ado:



I want to make a sub-pixel game in a 32 x 32 square, with an effective resolution of 32 x 96 due to the extra horizontal accuracy.

Here's two more... a sub-pixel chain or helix, and a curvy variation.  Keep in mind that the strip of colored pixels is only 2 pixels wide...

Pixel Art / Re: Explosion for in my game

I think the explosion portion is just right, but the smoke/dissolve phase is too fast.

Don't make it simply recede back into a smaller blob of orange.  After it gets to the big fiery ball stage (mid-way through your animation) make it turn into smoke and fade/drift/dissolve slowly... perhaps twice the number of frames in the initial explosion itself.
