Topic: NintendoLife Artists Thread

@CactusMan Man what is it with NintendoLife Artists and their YouTube accounts?! First @zuljaras (and yes the lowercase is intended) and now no caps again! What blasphemy! ;p

I did not understand that! Please explain damn I feel dumb

@CactusMan I was only joking! But spelling can save lives!

@Zuljaras I was just making fun of the fact that CactusMan and yourself both have lowercase YouTube channels!

@TheJGG Thank you! I actually changed it! Now it is with upper "Z"! I did not know I can

Yesterday I sat down and drew some assets for Castletoria. As you can see this is the garden area of the Castle with statues and many vegetation

I drew this on an iPad and it is quite enjoyable than sitting in front of a desk like I used to do it

The main character on the left I just use for scale.

So, how much of the game is done, @Zuljaras ....? Ready for the 1st demo or something?

@BruceCM Most of the planning is done but right now I have to clean up the code for the first boss and finish the first and second areas of the game as they will be in the demo.

There is so much left to be done or remade.

Damn @Zuljaras, you're going all out with the capitalism! You're remaking a game that hasn't even come out yet...

@TheJGG When you see something needs improvement or have better vision for it it is better to remake it before it is out

The main problem is laziness but I have a surge of determination to make my Castletoria playable to the public!

@BruceCM @TheJGG

I have found a video of the very first build of Castletoria all those years ago when I was starting to understand how coding works!

EDIT: And I uploaded the second remake of the game as well. Ahhh memories. I have found out how to make my inventory, Leveling etc.

Cool, @Zuljaras ..... I hope it'll be the HD Remastered version, then!

I repost my hand drawing of Sergeant Burly and Slugger here.

The UI looks pretty sleek, especially the skulls as health bars. Only way is up!

@TheJGG thanks but that was long ago. I did not know how to properly build the systems I now have in place.

The major discoveries were:
1. Leveling
2. Equipment
3. Inventory
4. Saving - I went through 2 saving iterations to make it work and I have encryption in place so players can't edit the save files
5. Importing aninated object with joints with Spine 3D. This gives the effect of large minsters with many parts and joints!
6. And the biggest one! Moving platforms in ANY direction ... that was the worst to figure out!

But now that I have started learning little Java Script and C# I know why things work the way the do

@Zuljaras You got featured on the Limited Run stream with all the artwork! Woot! Well done!!

Alucard, maybe .....? @GrailUK

@GrailUK Yes! I was quite surprised! But the 3 winning pieces were beyond amazing! No competition at all! Especially the one where Belmont and Dracula play StreetVania on SNES

@BruceCM Yes, I've changed my mind. It's Alucard!

@Zuljaras Yep, I hoped that one would win lol. Ah well, mental note, next time one something like this happens again, don't just throw somthing out that took 10 mins hahaha

Oh, who was it originally, then, @GrailUK .... ? I'm pretty sure it isn't Legolas or Spock, at least, lol
