Is there anyway I could hire you to do some more work my project? I'd like a consistent art style, but don't have as much time as I used to for graphics.
OMFG your amazing! Thank you so much! You just made my project so much more appealing looking. The animations are wonderful, and I will definitely use your advise for the shotguns.
just a generic rifle. And actually just for the medium skin tones of the skins. Not the other skin tones. If you have time to do both an old and a modern, I would be much obliged.
Oh, lol. I actually did the main menu just to prove I could make something cool graphically with code. Didn't really think of context, but might try and come up with some. That kind you for the feedback!
64x64 sounds good. I'll work on the dud first and work from there. Just wondering, but are you planning on working on this past this game jam? Cause it sounds pretty ambitious, and I'd love to see a final project like this.
...No ScreenShots... Too much college to squeeze in the screenshots. BUT UPDATES!
I have added a boss fight, more enemies, a more tighter control system, a combo system, and fixed some bugs. Will most definitely have a game ready by the end of this jam. Just trying to squeeze as much as I can into it until the due date. :)
interesting take. I couldn't think of a good way to go about following his ideas, although you seem to have something interesting on your hands. Can't wait to compare our games. :)
I think it's easier, as I am more of a hardcore coder and not as much of an artist. I get by, and it doesn't look bad by any means, but comparing yours to mine is like comparing a 4K pc to an Atari 2600. XD Love to do a colander with you sometime.
Unfortunately, no screenshots. But I have an update nevertheless!
I added a lot of gameplay, including the final, but not concrete, design for the level generation system. I also fine tuned the controls to the point where I am happy with them, along with adding controller support. I made sure that the 3 weapons in the game work the way I envisioned them, along with balancing them for what is in the game currently.
I added three enemy types as well. I have crawling enemies that move along the sides of the level on the walls, a flying drone that shoots your from above, and mounted machine guns on the walls that will fire in a straight line towards you.
Again, HOPEFULLY I will make time for screenshots so that you can see how the game looks at this point.
I believe your second variation looks the best of the three, although if you are going for a NES styled game, i'd say that the third one is better. The first doesn't look like he has a front arm on first look, and also looks like he is leaning backwards for some reason.
For the sprite sheet, cell 1x4, is that a climbing sprite or just a hanging sprite? It would be cool to see the character climbing walls in some way, although that is up to you and how you want the play style to be.
jeez these animations are amazing. I only ever come up with basic 4 frame animations for a 8 x 8 Sprite. These look like freaking anime. If the whole game looks this good, I will really look,forward to seeing it.
Ok, at one down, and I,have a good idea of the direction this is going. I have abandoned the original ideas of the artist, and have opted for a more Arcady, action game. Levels will be procedurally generated, with a plethora of weapons at your disposal, along with monsters, and bosses.
I have already built the level design engine and the player movement, gunplay, and progression through the levels of the void. I also created a main menu and an beginning splash screen section. All sounds and music are accounted for.
Hopefully tomorrow I will have screenshots, and/or GIFs to show off, but until then, happy jamming!
