  • The letter N damnit! :P
  • I don't quite understand why the one bit of omni tool is sticking out forward from her right arm, at a different angle from the rest of her arm - was there supposed to be a gun on that hand?
  • Yeah like I was worried... The round chestplates are very prominently boob-like. I would suggest making them not as obvious. Or shift the focus to the yellow markings, or just make them as not obvious as possible. The whole GOW universe I feel need…
  • Today's Tekken Dwarf was brought to you by the letter N. N for Nearly Narly Not Necessarily Nookie Naterial :P
  • uh oh, what's a pointer? guess I gotta look it up. Am doing arrays now though :)
  • you're gonna have a hard time not making those two round plates look like boobs in pixels :) But good choice! Love Marcus. Brocus Fenix :)
  • Black outlines are an easy way to frame characters but it seems often to destroy the creative possibilities. Agreed with removal :) Try to use greys on the shoes instead of the black edges to get the sneaker white tip colour. In terms of throwing …
  • Is this a what happens in Paris stays in Paris thing no one knows about?
  • I have the Netrunner game, will be early to the next meet if I can so we can play then :) And rigormortis you don't know what bluffing is until you've played Netrunner :) ask anyone ;) the corporation side plays with his cards face down while the r…
  • I wouldn't say that everything's a cash cow, but then everyone has a different threshold and perspective, so that's just my own :) I prefer the way LCG is set up, no random booster diving, no fluctuating singles prices. I definitely have seen some …
  • At the risk of over punting and sounding fanboyish, netrunner was designed by the same guy that made magic: Richard Garfield. Which is all the more incredible as it has no similarities to magic in a world full of magic clones (tapping, power/toughne…
  • If you wanna go with the original proportions, make his body even shorter, and longer legs. His body originally was practically a square! (proportionally speaking, not a pixel) Thinner arms I guess, try 2 pixels? Try leaning thy top antenna hairst…
  • The new Netrunner is really interesting: as a Living Card Game, you're supposed to build decks, like magic. But I stead of random booster diving for random cards, you get a core box that gives you most of the cards you need. Therefore you can play i…
  • Coool :D I'd say the slant on the weapon is optional - in pixel art I think the positioning can be a considered a luxury. However the way he holds the sword, his hand is closer to the hilt than the bottom of the handle - it makes more sense anyway …
  • Wow that looks good :) I'm neither here nor there about horror, but the art looks really great and I'm almost always down for a good card game. Did you Kickstart it? :) I'm contemplating... Well, probably should read the rules first :P edit: Don't …
  • [CAST RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD (thread)] So I've finally played Thunderstone and am thoroughly hooked :) It's Diablo with cards! How much better can you get! And Netrunner. The only downside is finding opponents to run with! The asymmetry is aweso…
  • You can always tide yourself over with the mouse... or maybe the orientation never changes, and you must rotate your keyboard to match :)
  • Huh? I did have a look at it.... Wait, extreme... OH :P Hmmmmm interesting dilemma :P You could map it to different keys every 90 degrees rotation... lol hahahah :P
  • Heh very cool proto :) Allow keyboard arrow controls! :D And... make it play songs :) It's fun :) That's what's needed for a game :)
  • Whoa dude @BlackShipsfillthesky your shadow shape CHANGED AGAIN you're messing with my head...... DOOM!! DOOM!!
  • Oh so you mean you're doing Jack Black? :P Suggestion - bigger, broader shoulders, smaller legs :) The dude looks like he has a top-heavier build (unlick Jack Black lol) Get more consistent in your use of outline - some bits are broken. And then t…
  • I'd give it a shot... Though when I start working (you know, a day job) it'll be much more difficult. Plus I got no coding mobility just yet. And as for a venue, well... @Elyaradine... Luma? :P Or Microsoft again/as well/instead? Dunno, spitballing…
  • There was an article on lifehacker - be more productive. Become unreachable :) http://lifehacker.com/5953914/how-being-unreachable-makes-me-more-productive?tag=productivity I think besides the "mindset" of rapid prototyping, that's a really import…
  • oops, I actually meant that shoulder muscle, what's it called... biceps? Sorry anatomy fail haha :P The right shoulder bit that sticks out a little? Anyhoo I think the kilt is fine, no need to change it really :) If you were to do this for real I g…
  • If nitpicking were warranted I'd say the right pec's a bit wonky, along with the top few pixels of his top lip (though that could be a dog-like snarl), ans the black outline that runs the whole way through could perhaps maybe possibly be under his f…
  • Awesometastic!! :D love that style, it's alleviating my pain standing in this queue no end :D
  • Thanks guys :D Really enjoying this, probably too much @_@ I'm trying to make myself not spend too much time on 'em every day :) Here's today's Withabeard :D The line that runs incidentally seemingly into his hand is incidental... If animated that…
  • Wow rippling muscles and all that stuff, so amazing @_@ Are these frames tweenable or is it all frame by sculpted frame? (Traditionally it's the boobies that usually get the arms lifted treatment, according to renaissance stuff from art history cla…
  • Agreed, I've seen so too, it's a good direction :)
  • Was it just me or did the shape of the shadow change between when you posted it and now? (must get that lobotomy looked at it's due for a service)
  • Dude, you're a damn machine you :) While everyone's shouting about rapid prototype you're actually churning it out :)
  • Lasted quite long for me, I thought I could report problem free... But 13 minutes or so in it crashed :( Was playing Brambo but really there wasn't much going on that's hectic or different... Sorry dude. I dunno how dual monitors can cause somethin…
  • The eye's a very awesome improvement, other than that I'll say - more shades, give it a rougher texture :)
  • I would say there are big cash prizes per level, but also continual stream of lesser cash prizes - the big cash prizes are one-shot per level, but you can run them again for the smaller ones. And throw in random cash prizes for bosses, that'll make…
  • Hmmmmm I only saw one tome, and the tome about the wall jumping is missing :P I feel there should be one about running, then another about running jumping, especially cos the really short platform you give the player to jump from doesn't make you re…
  • placeholder code to get art going right. hahahha!! That I need to do more :P (if you saw the moster I'm working on now you'd bitchslap me upside the head for breaking every rule above. Am making more coloured blocks :P)
  • I know what is meant, I'm just saying that from a control intuition perspective, I'm going to press the thing to jump, and release it to jump too :) I just wanna see how it works in practice :)
  • @dislekcia I totally agree, a good game will spread by itself, and should be what we all aim for :) But does that mean Ninja Crash "escaped" cos someone from indiegames browses our forums regularly? Or was there another channel through which they s…
  • If deflating gives you a boost... Does that mean by default your balloon has an opening downwards? And if you deflate in the air to give you a boost up... Does that mean deflating on the ground will give you a jump too? So, inflating is a bump, defl…
  • I don't think our little community facilitates "escapes" by itself... Like, Broforce, if it were only posted here, do you think it would/could have "escaped"? One of the reasons I personally believe we should ramp up to a more generalist approach t…
  • BTW I stumbled on this big cache of ripped sprites from various games (I think, or it could all be one Namco X Capcom?), it's AMAZING inspiration :D http://www.smeenet.org/randomselect/nxc_sprites/
  • Very good call on removing the orange bits :) It's looking cool! I hadn't realised that the halflife crowbar was red till now :) The second image has a black block between his legs, that's just the background not having been removed right? My guess…
  • Maximum sarcasm: Is essentially a tactic for optimising effort spent by making sure you're not wasting time painting the fence before you know what colour it needs to be. The trick is to think sarcastically when you hit a time-intensive problem: "Sh…
  • Oh, cool! That's new, I was wondering if we were gonna do that. See, those things need to be bigger to be noticed/used without being told to :P
  • Yes that was an aha moment for me, knowing I could swing ON the thing. But then I tried to shoot out of that tube there and failed a million times getting to the end platform. Might be just me :P Brings back the days of full-body-dodging-in-front-o…
  • Glowing things are simply lighter bits on darker bits. So if you wanted the eyes to glow green you should receed the rest of the area its in. Maybe they're in dark sockets. Maybe the face is darker, whatever the solution is, making the surrounding d…
  • So... It doesn't matter if I get a 2mb or 1mb or 4mb? I'm looking at going OpenWeb since been researching a little and found they seem the most reliable (and they have a special on). Are there any other advice for DSL?
  • on this topic, is 2mb DSL line enough for gaming needs? I don't feel like I wanna spend a grand on 4mb line every month. *shivers* Also, I guess someone should start the agenda for the next meet :)
  • Incredibly satisfying and incredibly difficult :) I think you really got something here! King of physics games man! I really feel that the game could work with a little less heaviness on the ball, although I realise that frustration really adds to …
