So. Here we go. Crits are muchos welcome.

Avatars for some people on IRC.

Misc stuff from a platformer I'm working on atm.

The main character and tiles for the platformer.

well this is really good. the ppl sprites are hard to judge for wat they meen, since they are suposed to be specific ppl, but away from that they are all pretty cool and cleen.
the robot portrait looks a bit Metroids.

now what I really like, and looks KICKASS is the tiles you got for the platformer. man, thats just about as cool as I want my tiles to look!!!

RESPEKT

those tiles remind me of ABUSE the 3d shooter.

Beautifrickinful tiles you got there. No crits on them. The only thing buggin me is the portrait of the orange dude. He's got no neck. Also, the aa here is nice and all, but it could just as easily go without. Aside from that everything is really nice.

Exactly what I was thinking. I would love to see a full mockup.

Abuse is most definately all 2d. You rotate the shooting direction with the mouse, which was genious, but hey, still 2d. And yes, a more full mockup for us please!

DrDerekDoctors · **Reply #6 on:** November 22, 2005, 11:46:08 am

Yuppers, I'm gonna' have to insist on a full mockup as well.

The tiles and platformer characters look nice, love to see them animated.

Acke · **Reply #7 on:** November 22, 2005, 03:10:24 pm

thanx for the good words guys.

And yeah I'd like to see a full mockup of that tileset myself, but I'm currently quite occupied with my university studies and I'm the only artist on the project. That means tiles, sprites and all that. Alot of work...

Dan · **Reply #8 on:** November 22, 2005, 03:56:54 pm

Hey and welcome to Pixelopolis!

I love the sprites espeacialy the crash one lol, it makes me laugh. As said before them tiles, they are pretty darn cool!

Thanks,

Dan

this rocks me hard. I want to play this! Something about the colour choice and layout and everything... goodness! Good game art, hope you finish this.

AlexHW · **Reply #10 on:** November 23, 2005, 02:23:48 am

in the mockup, the tiles they stand on are blended towards a dark grey as it gets to the top, this makes it look like it is going into the background and makes it look like a platform, in which case the characters look like they stand on the very edge rather than actually on something. As you have it, it is directly sideview, but that gradient makes it look like a surface seen from slightly above, understand? i'd pixel it a different way.

DrDerekDoctors · **Reply #11 on:** November 23, 2005, 01:52:56 pm

LOVE the city-scape, not often you see one that's so murky with fog. Looks really atmospheric.

Acke · **Reply #12 on:** November 23, 2005, 07:07:20 pm

Which tileset are you reffering to Alex?

the one used in the big mockup

GOODNIGHTdestroyer · **Reply #14 on:** November 24, 2005, 03:29:55 am

These are very nice, it'd be great to see some animations. And for some reason, i am reminded of Super Metroid when I look at the running sprite.

But I like them.

Acke · **Reply #15 on:** November 24, 2005, 06:49:12 am

Derek: Can't take credit for that one tho. It's my mates work. hehe

DrDerekDoctors · **Reply #16 on:** November 24, 2005, 09:59:01 am

Haha! I just noticed it in that other thread and thought "wuh?!".

You'd best post some animations of those characters to restore my faith in you, eh?

Acke · **Reply #17 on:** November 24, 2005, 11:24:04 am

GOODNIGHTdestroyer: Ah yes. That it does. Might be cos i looked alot at the Super Metroid animations when i created it. The jump looks just about exactly the same.

In my defence I have to say that I'm a n00b when it comes to animating and that this one is my first "fully" animated sprite. Personally I think it's somewhat ok to copy(semi-copy in this case) stuff as long as you learn something in the process.

Derek: Haha. I'll post a link to the game itself in due time.

You'll have to wait for that I'm afraid. Hehe

Acke · **Reply #18 on:** November 24, 2005, 11:29:03 am

Oh. Another thing. I have to thank you guys for such a warm welcome!

Today is tile working day so I will probably post some new stuff tonigh.

Cheers!

Acke · **Reply #19 on:** November 24, 2005, 12:23:47 pm

Fair enuff, I've plenty of game programming meself to be getting on with in the mean time.

So is it wandery-abouty (like Metroid) or more linear (like Metroid Fusion - BAH!)?

Acke · **Reply #21 on:** November 24, 2005, 03:10:32 pm

Derek: Well. I guess we want some sort of Super Metroid/Mega Man/Symphony of the Night crossover deal. Equipment screens, finding updates/skills and so on.

DrDerekDoctors · **Reply #22 on:** November 24, 2005, 04:43:25 pm

*gurgle* sounds like my ideal kinda' game - I'll be making one of that ilk myself once I get a few remakes out of the way. How far are you through it?

GOODNIGHTdestroyer · **Reply #23 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:16:22 pm

Oh, great. I'm glad I wasn't just talking out of my butt. I think it's okay to learn from others animations and sprites too, as long as you try to do it on your own later too.

Acke · **Reply #24 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:20:49 pm

Derek: Not that far yet. The engine is pretty much complete so its pretty much only content left. But doing just about all of it myself is a wee bit much. Especially since I have studies to take care of aswell.

GND: Yeah. Thats pretty much my opinion aswell. I've always been able to pixel characters in pretty much any pose I've ever wanted. But making them flow together properly has been a big nono so far. I don't know why. I guess I just can't find the proper key frames in order for it to look good.

Gil · **Reply #25 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:37:46 pm

We should team up. I'm pretty good at making the right keyframes, but I suck at drawing poses...

Acke · **Reply #26 on:** November 24, 2005, 05:57:48 pm

Gil: oh? I might just take you up on that offer.
