Sprites for platform shooter. (Intro)

[Philip]

Took me forever to find this place... I haven't done anything pixel-related since the blue board was up. So yeah, I'm a little rusty. And yeah, I know the hands on the big alien look weird. Not quite sure how I'd fix them, so I guess I'll have to draw from whatever critique you fine folks can give me.

Thanks for checking the stuff out. It feels good to get back in the groove again.

A few color edits. I pulled a few hues apart a bit and redid sat values for skin and some other places. I assume alien skin is sorta like human skin. I also tried my hand at... the hands. And redid the flames. And stuff.
I may have overdone it a few places.
It's a very well done detailed little sprite you have there. I like it.

Oh, and hi.

[Philip]

Thanks a bunch. While I probably won't apply everything you've edited, I really do like your flame edit. That and I'm really digging the colors you used.

So yep, I was thinking of jacking the collective... with your consent of course.

[Crazy Asian Gamer]

Consent given, but only if you know what's goin' on with the colors in the edit. 
(Nah, kidding, you can use them if you don't, but if possible, give credit)

How's the game going?

[Philip]

Alrighty, thanks a bunch.

The game itself is still more or less in the early planning stages. I really can't say much about it (since there's not much to talk about anyway), but I can tell you right off the bat that the basic premise of the game is that you're a bald man in a pink latex jumpsuit who runs around killing nazi aliens.

Yeah.

[Dave]

Is it gonna be an arcade-style game, where the aliens swarm onto the screen, or is it gonna be more of an adventure-type thing?  'Cause either would be dope, but for some reason I can imagine the arcade idea better.

Yeah.   

[Philip]

It's more of an adventure-type thing, in the "run to the end of the level, rack up lots of points, and kill as many of the enemy as possible" sense. Although the Smash TV approach sounds pretty cool too.



And yeah, that's exactly what you think it is... a mockup. What?

Oh, and here's an avatar I magicked out of my ass. 5 colors, and 2 hours of nitpicking.
