Getting Started

21 October 2011 - 02:58 AM

I have just recently started spriting and am doing much better than I thought by:

1. Starting small
    - I started with 8x8 sprites and, by keeping it small, I could work on getting a simple pattern and shading implemented. I created a basic brick wall by starting with a slightly dark blue. I then put it in a pattern of pixels so that if I wrapped the sprite in any direciton, it wouldn't change the pattern. Then I chose a darker shade of the same color and filled in the spaces. After that, I kept my basic brick wall sprite as a backup and made a second one which I shaded by using white and black at 20 opacity. Then I just layered on black and white where shadows and reflections should be on the wall.

*I know it is short, but as this is a work in progress post, I will post other tips I find as I get better at spriting.*

Pxtone

17 September 2011 - 11:28 PM

Just today I found a very useful program called pxtone. I think it is developed by the creator of Cave Stroy and it. Works. Wonders. It's fairly easy to use and not only allows you to create music but what your beats sound like. It seems pretty powerful and the only problem is I can't find an English tutorial on how to do everything. It's amazing and I recommend checking it out!

2D Top Down Shooter Lighting Example

20 August 2011 - 08:56 PM

Hello! I'm trying to create a top down game that uses a lighting system. I've got a sprite for the light and I'm trying to make it so it either points in the direction your walking or points towards the mouse. I have pro and I think it has something to do with the transform D&D.

8-Bit-Funding

18 August 2011 - 04:05 PM

Hello GMC! I've heard about a website called 8-Bit-Funding a few months back and thought it sounded pretty intersting. For those that haven't heard about it 8-Bit-Funding works a lot like Kickstarter but the difference is 8BF is exclusively for funding games. With the recent worries about my old computer I'm hoping to get some money so I can start up a saving for a new one. My only problem with this is that 8BF requires a video and I don't know of any free programs that can video my screen so I can post a video.
