Pixel Joint Forum: variouse 9bit sprites

Message

   I decided to take part in the PC-Engine Scene, and do some sprites and tiles for a PCE vertical shooter currently in the works. So here's what I've done to date... I'll add the new ones as I progress.

 a larger enemy mech.
 a very small 16x16 enemy, not much to say, heh :P
 a medium sized enemy, dig those 3 frame thruster animations.
 a smaller enemy, thought about letting it fire long straight lasers.
  a very large mini-boss. the turrets in the second shot are detatchable, still need to animate the turrets.

C&C appreciated.

	Hi Squirrelsquid, Great Sprites! The smaller ships have nice thrusters. The very large sprite kind of lacks the same effect. It looks like a failing engine... And at first I thought that the boss was turned. The nose looked like a thrust fire. Maybe you can change the color on that nose? Best regards from M.E.

	here's a very weird looking one: fear the TEDDYHEAD! @ M.E. the thrusters will be animated a lot faster, ingame, it's just a lack of the .gif format. glad you like it! :)

	Hi Squirrelsquid, Love the TeddyHead .. Please keep that one!!! The 'real' bear is a bit dark to be playing outside where the stars are Hopefully the game will let me choose one of the others as being the one that I play with. I like to play with one of the enemies ships instead of the current player ship. The current player sprite lacks a bit of expression. (Reminds me of zaxxon) Keep up the good work! Best regards from M.E.

	played with teddyhead a bit... turned him into a cellphone! the head can slide down, just like the enemy to reveal dial-buttons. the phone also has a touchscreen and stylus, as well as real fire buttons (the bears face), and a directional pad. Edited by Squirrelsquid - 17 August 2007 at 12:20pm

	*Originally posted by Squirrelsquid* I decided to take part in the PC-Engine Scene, and do some sprites and tiles for a PCE vertical shooter currently in the works. So here's what I've done to date... I'll add the new ones as I progress. Hehe, I've also been working on 9-bit PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16 sprites and tiles for a while. I showed Squirrelsquid some of my work and he was compelled to offer some of his help in making these graphics for these games. There are two PCE Super CD-ROM2 games we are currently working on right now. One is a run-n-gun contra type game called 'PC-Gunjin'. The other is a vertical shmup called 'Xymati'.

	here's some more PCE-stuff... though these 2 aren't for one of the 2 games. the first is some sidescroller stuff: and some sprites and tiles that are inspired by the gameboy game, Cosmo Tank. EDIT: here's another enemy of the vertical shoot em up: Edited by Squirrelsquid - 20 August 2007 at 5:01pm

	Hi SquirrelSquid and FragMarE, Hmmmm nice jummy saturated colors. M.E. like except for the browns in the bg of the tank game. Maybe they should be a little darker to really pop out the sprites? Best regards from M.E.

	I modified the red enemy a bit. and did a second, that can seperate it's arms. @M.E.: yea you'r right about the colors Edit: another one! and again a new one! this one is tiny and took me roughly 8 minutes to pixel, animate and upload. wanted to see how fast I can do a sprite.

	here's some more graphics, some background tiles: I did the blueish rocks, FraGMarE did the (unfinished) lava. and just for kicks, here's a little idea of mine: Havoc Zone Tactics... my shoot em up transformed into a turn based strategy game

	*Originally posted by Pixel_Outlaw* Damn, the PC-Engine had a gorgeous palette. remember, the tactics mockup is not in the PCE color-space... anyway, played with the cellphone a bit. will make a longer animation soon, that I'll upload to the gallery. in the meantime, here's the Panda phone rotated 90°.

	Frag why don't you start a thread for your art? It would be easier to keep track of who's who. I miss the old saturated palette; who started all this desaturation nonsense? Edited by Pixel_Outlaw - 02 September 2007 at 9:50pm
