Topic: Pixel Art

@Adam: Yep, in the cave the water turns black with light blue outlines, and the fish become skeleton fish. In the snowy area the fish are frozen.

Holy moly, I don't remember all this stuff being added to Miner Mishap. It looks almost as far along as Ninja Story, coding-wise at least.

Haha, not nearly as far along at all.

Edit: Okay, I've been doing some code clean-up. If anyone was having speed issues it should run at least marginally faster. Oh, and I changed the physics up too.

I like to play this music while playing Underground:

Sorry pix, this game is getting way big, so i would rather play it when it is done. No more demos for me!

@turtle: Way big? As in big levels? lol, that's fine.

@Dragoon: Nice, that's a good one.

Yes. I would rather play the whole thing when it is completed. But, still, this game is gonna rock!

@Dragoon While I prefer to listen to Cave Story music while playing any game to any other soundtrack on the planet, I will take your suggestion.
Can't wait to try out the update! Really enjoying the difficulty spike.
EDIT: Amazing as always. I found it really funny that in the cave room with the wall jump and the bombs, the little stone heads would shoot arrows in time with Dragoon's music.

I play this during the Snow Part:

@pix: talk to grenworthshero, too, if you're wanting to sample some more tracks, he's a bit of an aspiring composer himself. i'm really looking forward to what all this looks like when it's done (i, too will be holding off for a bit like turtlelink to see the completed product), and what all this sounds like when it's done. should be a fantastic game, there, pixels!

I just beat your new Snowy/Cavey game pix! Keep up the good work!

_{I see you made it so it is possible to get out of the win room without bombs!}

Thanks dudes.

Just a progress update, I've finished the first boss. I haven't uploaded it yet, since it's a surprise. I still have two more to do, and then I'm entering the finishing stages of development.

Uploaded a new character sprite. Lemme know what you guys think. :3

Looks fine... but not at all like a ninja.

@pix: you should make it so that each time you get a new ability, the character sprite becomes more ninja-like. for example, with the first upgrade, your pants change to black, then with the next, he gets a red bandana (if that's really what it's called... you know... like Street Fighter's Ryu has...), then with the next, he gets a sword on his back or a ninja hood or something. that way you'd have this kind of bildungsroman or sorts and have the ninja theme and this cool character in your game.

That would take either

a) a lot of extra art

or

b) a lot of extra programming

I'm not really inclined to do either at the moment. Just want to finish this up and move on to something else.

Okay, he's back to a ninja. Only cooler!

Your ninja looks awesome, pixelsbuddy.

Awesome ninja. You should make it like Metroid when you get power ups, your color changes.
