Topic: Pixel Art

Thanks guys.

@Rensch: Haha, same goes for you. Seems not many people know about the CK series, but they're really quite amazing games.

Okay, an exploration game won't very well work out-doors, so into an old abandoned mine we go.

The cave tiles were (somewhat obviously) inspired by Cave Story. Also note that the game is now on the bridge between 8-bit and 16-bit. I'd like the character to look a tad more 16-bit, but what'ev. Going to play around with his colors a little bit, then start animating, and when that's done I'll merge the art with my code. I should have a playable Flash demo by the end of this weekend - if all goes well. :3

That seriously looks perfect, Pix. Now code the game already!

I don't just say that because I want to see you finish a game, either. I like the bright, distinct colors. The cave tiles look great. And the dimensions look just right.

@Adam: I actually agree with you. I'm really happy with both the sprite AND cave tiles this time, and I have ideas for two other tilesets that should mix it up nicely. (Sandy rock and lava rock)

_{and yes, I'm animating the sprite and when it's done I'll start coding again!}

looks good, pix, i'm looking forward to playing the final version. though i do think and exploration game can certainly be done outdoors, i do agree, it would be more difficult. anyway, i'm digging (get it? it's in a cave?? digging??? ugh... ) the art direction. keep it up.

This is a thing I did on Paint awhile ago.

That's cool, ryan.

I made an avatar for Brutus, and I think it turned out good:

I wonder if he'll like it? Think Brutus might like it?

Ahaha, that's great. I cannot imagine what goes through the mind of a chicken, but I certainly like it.

HAH, nice StarBoy.

Added some water and made the hud nicer. Been playing Final Fantasy 4 all day so I still haven't finished animating the guy.

Items/Powers I'm planning on having:

• Basic punch when nothing's equipped
• Rocks, which you can throw at enemies. Deals half the damage of a punch.
• Pickaxe. Can break through weak walls and deal 2x the damage as a punch, but very slow.
• Dynamite. Very rare, super-powerful explosive which deals 5x damage to groups of enemies and can blow up walls.

Please finish this game pixelman
I havent really done anything latly except this avatar for early april...

Its not perfect as it is very hard to copy off one of the three NL images of him (in which he is sprite sized), but i did my best.

Whoa, that's cool, SuperMegaMan.
Also, thanks, guys. I hope Brutus likes it.

He likes it. Thanks Starboy! When I have more time (I'm in Orlando right now) I think I'll download it and make it my new avatar. Great job man!

Thanks, Brutus.

Pixelman, you're awesome.

I'm not, but I'll post this anyway.

I obviously copy-pasted the floor >_>

not bad, but the shadow is a bit funky. it looks like shes standing on top of a hole in the floor

Lol, yeah, I just went the lazy Street Fighter Alpha 2 route. I'll work on it later, thanks for the feedback ^^

Oh nice, I like your sprite. I agree with briunj about the shadow though. :3

Cool collection, Roopmeister.

Finally finished animating the kid's run animation:

Edit: Now displayed in 2x!

That's awesome, pixels.
