Hello! Figured I'd try spriting a character of mine. I was never good at this but here we go. Also I don't have a clue on how to animate >_>    Here's a sketch of him/her if anyone's interested.  edit. Jumping and stuff! It's starting to look ok :O Imaginary Friend fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Jan 9, 2013 |

neonnoodle posted:Oh man that's hella cute! In the animation department: you can improve your walks and runs dramatically if you have more of a "down" position. When walking or running, the foot hits the ground and then the knee bends as the weight transfers. You've got the "up" position in there in the run cycle (and a tiny one in the walk), where the foot pushes up and off, but if you balance it out with a down position, it'll have more suggestion of weight and springiness. In the book The Animator's Survival Kit, it shows how the head of someone walking/running makes kind of a sine wave, so it passes first below, then above the starting position with each stride. old > new > I tried adding another frame but that screwed up the entire thing and lowering the down position even more made the whole thing look jagged. drat them pesky pixels and everyone one of them having to make such a difference  Oh, did a quick-climb thingie as well!

Figured I'd try making a platformer and was reminded how much I dislike programming. Oh well, here's an early test for the main character. I'll spice it up eventually after I've learned how to make freaking gravity with numbers and letters:

Trying to make something something.. it's pretty barren still and the lines all over the place are temporary until I figure out something to do with it.

Besesoth posted:If you can, you might want to emphasize the ampersand-ness of the &; I read it as "BARBCAR" for a bit before I figured it out. Otherwise, I love this aesthetic. You're doing a great job of making a couple pixels do the talking. And the burned-out A is great! did the whole thing for 32x32 characters instead of 48x48 as before so that sucks >_<  Also, it's for PC. The size is due to the map being like that later. The title screen will be in the sky and the view will scroll down to the ground level when starting a new game. edit Walking and idle testing.

Scut posted:This is pot calling kettle black but I feel like your palette favours dark tones with values that are too similar. I love the colours you have chosen I just feel like they need a bit more separation in value. If you look at the truck in your mockup it has a broader range from light to dark.  Here's the latest iteration.  Here's the concept for the guy btw, if anyone's interested.

Cicadas! posted:If you mean the skinny long ones, nah. The way they extend past the bottom of the playable screen makes it look like they're growing out of a canyon. The bushy conifer looking ones should stay though, they're real nice. edit (because I've spammed this thread too much) Scut posted:I think your art looks good but mostly needs an adjustment for hierarchy. The character is at a lower saturation and contrast than the plane he walks on, so the eye keeps bounding from the foreground to background looking for a place to land.

Hmm, so is it just the character or the whole "walking layer" that's messing things up? I know this might go the opposite direction of the general design with interactive objects vs backgrounds but I'd like the characters to blend in with the layer on where they walking so maybe fooling around with the contrast on the background layer might do the trick? Or is it just hard for the eyes gameplay-wise not to have the characters/interactive objects pop more than the rest? edit This is what I had in mind, kind of; background > low contrast, less saturated middle > mid-high (depending on light sources) contrast, mid-high (depending on light sources) saturation foreground > high contrast (generally darker), mid-high saturation and then have the player jump between these layers (with the middle one being the main layer on where the players traverse) when there's an area with places to visit in the back/fore-ground, switching the contrast/saturation of the player sprite depending on which layer he/she is at.

Red Mike posted:Right now, the foreground is fine because it's very dark which stands out from the character distinctly. I'd recommend trying to increase the lightness of the background slightly, and lowering the saturation a bit more.  Another huge gif because pretty moving grass and cool skill system is in!

Making some final sprites finally! Edit From left to right; Tony Tuna - salesman and inventor extraordinaire, Coroner Crabs (get it?) and Hoki the Hobo (will be blue) - Think that psychologist from Twin Peaks mixed with the Dude, digging through trash at a gas station in the Woods. VVV Google showed me anime and japaneese space opera music. Is that Good or bad? Imaginary Friend fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Aug 28, 2015 |

It's probably a matter of taste and workflow. Personally I'm pretty content with Asesprite for the kinds of animations I'm currently making. I bought Spriter a while ago and it works pretty well animating things made of pieces that move and rotate instead of drawing everything by hand.

Found an old concept I did for an imaginary game (I think) on a photobucket I had like.. 2009 or something. It's cool to see I've barely got better since then haha. Sorry for the lovely quality on the enviros; guess I didn't know you shouldn't save pixels in lovely jpeg-format.

Very much WIP. Hey, at least the roof is turning out ok so far.. and a concept sketch of how it kind of will look like.  edit Butt Savage posted:Aside from this looking like a cool game, these shots make awesome smartphone wallpapers. Keep'em coming!

Scut posted:Looking great! I like those rich blue shadows. I feel that your characters fight for dominance with the mid-ground where you have similar levels of contrast but also things like outlines that make the eye feel as though the bushes might be more important than the sprites.  As for the contrast part, I'm still waiting with that one until I dabbled with it in the game. I want players to be able to interact with lots of the stuff (like jumping on bushes and trying to figure out a way up to the roof etc.) so I want to keep most of that on the same "layer" as the characters and hopefully, the gameplay of it won't kill the eyes too much.
