Pixelation: The Game (Part 2)

[AdamTierney]

I wish more screens were released. I have a few great ones I snapped that Activision never released. In the shots on that site, playfield BG art is by Fejer, far BG is by Monsoon and sprites are by Jawsh & Gustav.

These things always make me jealous..
Congratulations with the game.

heheh... you just have to be thankful that not all of our talents are going to waste man

you know, adam, why dont you get some of those blokes posting here again, i cant remember the last time ive seen a gustav work.

Also i must congratulate you as you really seem like youre moving yourself right along in the chain of command, next time i see a post of credits theres going to be the big 'executive' word as the first word in your title

(ps when are these web screenshot guys going to learn not to scale down, then scale up, then blur and then save as jpg? hahah)

Yeah, exactly! It bothers me too.

Anyway, it's nice to see you posting again too, st0ven. You know why? I do.

I think Gustav was pretty light on the posting even in Pixelation days. He does work on hobby games pretty consistently though. I'll see if I can get him to drop by and share some of that.

Don't get me started. How hard is it to save as a gif and increase the pic in 100%s?

Gustav's stuff I learned so much by studying. He's my daddy.

i just played it and the game is just amazing...some screenies too!










btw: those portraits aren't hand pixeled, right?

[AdamTierney]

Josh Astorian did the sprites and the pink trees, Paul Robertson animated Wolvie and Ken did the snow and white trees. This part looks a little repetitious but the rest of the game is a little more varied. I'll hafta take some shots too, now that it's out. The portraits were done by Chris Bachalo and Tim Townsend (two of the monthly X-Men artists) and then colored by Pablo Ruvalcaba (an artist I work with).

Oh, the animations...those are so sweet...

And the sprites too...oh, I'm in love with the game...


I had a crazy idea...I'm not sure if anyone ever thought about it, but we could make a CC on this game!

I second that notion, if that were the case it would be more about how the game is really made and what the design choices behind each graphical feature is, and not so much about what we imagine they could have been.

Adam, would you mind if I just made questions about why you made some specifical design choices here?

[AdamTierney]

Fire away.
