I would say, if your skilled enough, that that should be his deep breathing animation, which would be triggered after running, and stop after about 5 seconds. Less heavy breathing would be after walks and standing still. But, you know, whatever. ------------- Oi. |

| the ground and box are alright. I think the person and his breathing could use a bit more effort though. |

don't be afraid to redraw sprites... that's something I noticed (and something I used to do, too) among some of the newer guys. A lot of the time, all anyone wants to do for an animation is move some things around. Try expanding his chest a bit when he breathes in, as his torso straigthens out a bit and his head moves back, and you could have his head move forward and down a bit as he exhales... maybe you could do some leg movement, too, as he bounces... Breathing in a ready position isn't just about the arms and head moving. hope that helps.. the tiles look pretty good! good luck with this. |

Hmm, it's looking good. Although it's quite a 'dark' game. I know it
may be night and all. Just when black is put on vast ammount on my
computer screen/television for me anyways, i find the game fusterating.
(Like doom 3, i know it uses the 'element of surprise' with all the
shadows and no lights etc., but it makes it very hard and i usually
find myself stopping for about an hour just to give my eyes a rest)
Just keep that in mind before you make it too dark... o | /\ &n bsp; &n bsp; -- At the moment you have a character with his legs split like that; hmm... maybe try re-doing his stance, it just looks a little awkard with his legs wide apart. ------------- I live my life one pixel at a time. |

i think you will find that black isnt used once they are just dark colours,
i have a lighter screen res then most people so ill have 2 lighten it up so if u guys tell me which bits are too dark cos i cant tell on my screen, so im guessing the background for a start. i may redoo my charicter sprite and i need more ideas for objects :/ other than grass and blocks |
