Pixel Joint Forum: Explosions... C&C?

Message

   Alright, a while back I had a topic on vertical shmups... it got sort of old, and I figured I shouldn't gravedig it, so I'll start another topic here I suppose.

Alright, so this is the final version of the small explosion...

And this is my first version of the medium explosion...

C&C is appreciated! Also, these probably won't run as fast as they should on your web-browser, so if you save it and up the speed in whatever gif program, you'll have some idea as to how they'll appear in-game.

	they dont have enough punch, the animation is nice, and the animation look realisic, but the physic are not very accurate, i think the explosion should grow in a more circular way(away from the middle in a 180 degree fashion) The first one is better than the second, cause the explosion dont fly away while exploding. I imagine an explosion staying pretty much at the same height during most of the exploding. Then the remaining fire consumes itself in a elevation fashion. Good job cant wait to see the next edit.

	It looks more like a cloud is forming than something exploding. I feel like it dosent go "BOOM!"at all, you know what I mean?

	when i think of an explosion, i see a lumpy circle expanding very fast and then slowly decreases as lumpy smoke increases from the bottom of the lumps. sort of like the explotion is imploding after it has finished... because that is sort of what they do... i remember seeing this at pixelation forum... they just gave you some examples of some metal slug sprites. i hope you get more input from here...
