yep, another one.. so ive been working on a game.. but i scrapped that one and made another one and so far ive got 2 basic bgs (the back one is moving with the char ingame), some basic tiles and a nice hud. im using the animation training sprites i made right but they arent 'skinned' yet so they arent in the mockup ive also got the damage stuff fully working with both bars and numbers, well enough talking from me..



ive been working no both sprites and coding most of the day (mostly coding) so its nothing awesome.. and no demo yet but maybe soon.. ill prolly need to change the big round part on the hud too so i can easily fit in random info there (like current weapon and ammo and stuff)

oh and i need to come up with a good name and some ideas for the char, enemies and stuff

@Grindie: hehe thanks (castlevania rocks >_>)

i thought up some quick story-ish stuff.. maybe it can be the future like 2050, the earth got destroyed by the greedy humans and they moved to another planet. some places on earth could be saved BUT the space terrorists have taken control over those places and our hero must kill the terrorists and take the places back.. thsoe places could be like famous places like draculas castle, the pyramids, disneyland etc etc.. i guess that could work.. maybe

so the environment would be pretty normal but a bit destroyed by all sh*t the humans let out in the air and the hero would be some kind of futuristic space-cowboy thingy with cool weapons

ill have to think more about that tomorrow

@Grindie: yeah  yeah i know but there is really no info right now >_> but the story might help come up with some.. like weapons will be like.. futuristic shotguns, rocket launchers and stuff.. double jumping would be cool and sliding can be added rather easily if i want to.. and ofcourse the char will have a flamethrower so he can set the terrorists on fire.. but as i said, ill to think more about it tomorrow, cause im going to bed now but the whole theme will be futuristic stuff in classic (but slightly destructed) environment

Looks nice, but I think the circle on the left hand side should be smoothed out a bit. The lines look a bit jaggedy. :)

spacecowboy - wasnt that a song or artist?

Anyways this is looking ok, although the floor tiles seem to
gradiented. perhaps add some color to it instead of greys!

jamiroquai - space cowboy

 

i'm not realy liking a couple of things on this, such as the clashing styles (both pixelwise as storytype wise) i wasnt envisioning indiana jones in here, but more of a furutistic rogue, with a hint of metroid

then there is the simple, flat shaded cartoony chibi cowboy, and realisticly made windows tiles, and foreground.

i would suggest spicing up the ground tiles though, they seem rather plain atm.

i preferred the older hud (though with a bit better AAing) and might i suggest you throw a portrait in there?

 

overall speaking, it could use some more detail and a more unified design, but the techniques are used pretty well.

i'm really digging the squares around the window
