Slime Salad

Only 9 colors, yet so much detail! Awesome!

Wow!

yet another piece of art amazement vladimanner. but when are we going to play this game?
Spoonweaver needs game badly.

I dunno, I don't really have any game in mind.

Maybe I need to start doing spritework for other peoples' games.

That sprite is stunning, Val.

Yes, but make sure you actually join up with someone good. I'd offwer to join forces but I don't really have any projects that I need graphics for. (Besides I guess Technofunk Shipotron, but I'm not sure I'd get many takers on that one.)

How are you with animating flower monsters? ;)

HTML5 port of Do You Want to Be a Hero?

You can give it a try if you like, but only walking is implemented so far -- no battles or dialogue.

Among the advantages of porting the game versus continuing to work on the OHR version: map definition is much simpler. No need to worry about putting the tiles in the right configuration; just put in the shape of the landmass and let the engine decide which tile is appropriate for that spot. You might also notice that the mountains and trees -- the contents of tile layer 1 in the OHR version -- have a slight offset relative to the parent layer (and a slightly different offset than the hero sprite). This would actually be a handy feature to support, since the end result is a much more natural look compared to the original.

I would be lying if I said I didn't consider making an HTML5 version of GAME.EXE

Hmm I suppose that does make some things easier. Offsetting a map layer takes a one line script, but it would be nice to have it as a built in feature. There would be various things to update. Minimap renderer, map editor cursor-related stuff, possibly in-game map edges... All in all doesn't seem terribly worth the effort right now...

Haven't we all?

I am almost finished with the first boss of Vorpal Florist. Here is another timelapse of sprite-art with some gameplay footage at the end.

Awesome! You totally went with the Ghost Orchid thing I mentioned, or you just happened to do it on your own. Either way its a nice tribute to the movie Adaptation. The character should say some witty line referring to the movie after the boss is defeated, although I can't think of anything good that stands out.

This week has been an absolute headache attempting to mix my 3d and 2d styles without them clashing. I finally figured it out. If I place 2d images in the background and foreground, leaving the midground for the map, things some how work!

Here's an example, I got lot's done tonight. It may be hard to see but the foreground uses black, while the sky is an off-black. I threw in some stars too but not for the entire background yet.

This may be the most terrifying thing I've ever drawn.

The return of Chickenlip!
