Aneurexorcyst posted:Well, I gave it a go...  That's just great. I think you've managed to capture the vibe from the game very well.Sophism posted:What that means is that I require two sprite sheets so I can have both sets of armor reflect on the character's appearance. So here's the two versions of armor I'm thinking of going with. I tried to keep some elements from the skimpy original, to try to illustrate that the second version is an upgrade. I just need to settle on a design so that I can work on the more interesting animation cycles. I'm already afraid I made the armor too ornate for that Valis/Phantasy Star vibe.  I'm not sure I'm happy with the way the breastplate is moving though. I tried to make it look like a looser, secondary layer of metal, but it kind of looks like it's jiggling.

Sophism posted:
I think part of the reason it looks off is that when the breastplate animates, it seems to swivel with her right shoulder and ignore her left. If it's loosely bound to the rest of the armor, you should consider where it's connected. Most likely it'd be resting on her shoulders so the whole thing might tilt up when she raises an arm but it wouldn't dip below where it's resting on the other shoulder. You may also be able to make it look a bit less jiggly by flattening the shading a bit to make the metal plates appear flatter.

Invisible Ted posted:That looks so much better! So what it looks like to me is that you've grouped up the dithered pixels into aforementioned clusters, just so I'm understanding. It also looks like you did away with the outline, which I also think makes it look much better, but I was also wondering what situations that outline works in and when should I skip it? For the most part you can do away with an outline if the thing you are outlining is just as thick, or nearly as thick as the outline itself. It's related to the whole 'banding' thing which a lot of pixel artists get huffy about. The way I see it, you want to 'break the grid' by not having identical strips of pixels right next to each other. This also relates to clustering.

You could probably do away with the light yellow and just use the teal instead.

The head is only too big if you feel like it is, if everyone looks the same then it won't even matter. That affords you the luxury of facial expressions without resorting to subpixel animating. On another note I like the arms a lot more. Do you have a particular sprite you base your stuff off of or do you just freeball it?

Needed a break from working on the player character, so I decided to start creating some of the enemies. This one looks like it might be a nightmare to animate, but it only really has one idle cycle and a self-destruction animation. (Oh God making that bubble burst will take me a month.  ) Anyway, I'm not sure if I need the black outline. I tried some alternatives and didn't care for any of them that much. It still looks out of place for the small bubbles, at least in my eyes. My biggest issue right now is finding a way to make the orb in the middle look like it's half-submerged in the slime body, while the other half is within the larger, thinner bubble. I'm trying to keep it under 16 colors, and I'm currently at 13 counting the alpha. Ruby Prism fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Feb 17, 2015 |

I feel like the legs aren't straightening enough to produce such an exaggerated lift in the rest of the body. (I could be wrong, though!)

Did anyone here get involved with the Pixel-Logic Indiegogo campaign at the tail end of last year? I've been looking into making my own stuff for some game development I do as a hobby and I'm curious how it was received here. On a related note, is there an ongoing gamedev forum or thread? I don't hang out here too often and I haven't been able to locate one so far.

Fellow goon and rad animator DicktheCat did the wireframe/colorblocking - I did the detailing. Longest animation in the game. Wheeew.

I think the problem with the purple leg is the lower leg/calf/foot looks backwards or twisted, and I can't quite figure out where the knee is supposed to be. If I'm reading the red leg correctly I think the calves are slightly too short compared to the thighs.

Seeing this makes me wonder why more traditional animation grads don't make games instead of short films. Their talents would probably reach a wider audience and they can still be as crazy as they want.
