It's my first blog entry ever, sorry possible mistakes...
I'll post some 2d gaming related stuff made by me, such draws, sprites and others.
For start, a sketch of Tyris Flare, from Golden Axe, classic game by Sega at end of 80's.
This game is awesome, developed by "Shinobi team" who did great games using Sega 16 hardware.
Recently I've decided to start another project (there aren't many to take care, only my biggest Odyssey2 project ever, and save 2 Atari 2600 games in development hell, other side projects involving sprite drawing and many more games I want to start to code...) Anyway I already talked about
in my older blogs. It's a fan game that re-creates the canceled Sonic Xtreme originally planned for Sega Saturn (and PCs) in 1996. The game was very interesting in many ways, mostly because the perspectiv
Has been long time I don't do a pixel art. Many people said my drawings are cute, even if it is not supposed to. So I decided to create a drawing/pixel art series of ugliest monsters in cute form. Problem my weak eyes aren't help me with this, so I'll stop on this first entry. Here's Gaping Dragon from Dark Souls in his puppy form. I can see a plush of this thing making success on internetz. Sorry the few colors and small size, I can't stand too long drawing or my eyes hurts.
For
I don't put the title as Sonic 3 Game Gear to not let people think I'm working on it.
Just found these old sprites on my computer, years ago I was thinking about how good Sonic 3 could be in Game Gear / Master System.
I wish I could code this game, but man, too difficult to do it alone.
Sonic 3 is my favorite sonic game so far, everything is perfect, the artwork, music, level design. Too bad it's an "unfinished game", as you need to plug into S&K to have the real deal.
The
We never expected what we'll find on Youtube.
This guy play fun themes on piano, such popeye or woody woodpecker theme.
Also there good videos of him playing classics ragtimes.
But in others videos he waste talent playing the Nokia cellphone and microsoft windows opening theme, or a silly song on churchil organ.
I like his version of super mario bros on harpichord.
His name is Vinheteiro, here the link for simpsons theme, and you can watch the others related videos if you like it.
Quick image edits I did for fun, because it's easier than code the games.
MK for the Neo-Geo AES
Killer Instinct for the Genesis
King of Fighters 94 for the Snes
I never cared to play Elevator Action (proto) on 2600. Too much unfinished (and ugly) to be minimally fun. For years I had an idea how to implement this game on 2600, but I never had intention to port it by myself. I actually did the concept proof kernel for another project and it worked, so finally now I decide to give a shoot at Elevator Action. Well, the game is too much complex, and now I'm very surprised how far the prototype is. They managed to make a moving elevator with both players in
Here some of my latest sprites, primal rage characters
in "pocket" style, and Tyris Flare from golden axe, based in
that sketch posted by me days ago.
People call it as "Pixel Art". I never liked this label.
Art made using a bunch of squares is called Mosaic.
The diference in computer/video games that mosaic is digital, so for me it's Digital Mosaic art.
Another variation of technique I call hyper sprite.
Also the making of sprite set and what I needed to do for convert it to Atari 2600 graphics.
Believe, this was the easier part, making the kernel was the difficult thing, thanks to HMOVE hardware bug.
I'm listening right now Tenpole Tudor, very cool early 80's punk band from UK. Together with Toy Dolls, Damned and Sex Pistols my favorite punk bands from that era.
Below, the Atari 2600 rom if you want.
Here is another colection of bad cosplay I found.
My objective here is not to show only the worst costumes, but also the funny ones.
Solid Snake inside a box.
Paper... I mean, Iron man
Tetris! XD
Mario Kart gang
Samus Aran
Gundam - From japanese giant robot anime (I gess)
Star Wars characters. R2D2 deserve more respect.
Storm troopers
I enjoyed Bubsy for SNES back in the day. It is a fun game with some good music (at least on first stage).
Bubsy Snes OST :
The gameplay is not great, but had good mechanics like the glider. And this was fast, a Sonic like game engine on Snes, without blast processing. I had a friend who where crazy about this game. It certainly is not on my worst game list. I remember be intrigued about wtf bobcat is, short tail wild cats do not exist in my country. We have ocelots.
Bubsy is the
Hi people.Tetris was never my favorite stile of game but bombliss variation rules and I enjoyed it alot as a kid.If you never played bombliss, all pieces contain 1 bomb wich explodes if the row is filled.You need 2 or more bombs to explode the row, if the row haven't bombs, nothing happen but it count as "combo". With more lines filed the explosion is bigger. If the explosion touch another bombs, they explodes too. If you put 4 little bombs together, they turns into a big bomb.Well watch the vid
A recent sprite I did.
Her name is Blaze Fielding from Streets of Rage (sega genesis).
I did backups every significant steps for you know the process of creation.
Well, that is for today
Here is Bee-Ball mockup for the Odyssey^2.
No, I'll not code it.
Don't know if this screen is doable, is possible to change the graphics "on the fly" using line interrupts but don't know how flexible it is.
Odyssey2 support 4 single colored sprites limited by 8x8 pixels each, I'm overlaping 2 for each bee. The raquets are made by bios character, as well the ball and the bee's eye and wing. (I can use up to 12 bios characters at same line).
The net is not possible by this way, I h
I was reading about Odyssey 2 programming and created a demo, it dysplays AtariAge
on the screen. I think it's not bad for only 2 hours studing the O2 hardware.
I have no plans for this console for now, but I liked some of the 8048 assembly instructions (O2 processor).
It's very similar to Chip8 language that I give a try last year. The hardware also.
Odyssey 2 support 4 sprites on the screen, they are limited to 8x8 pixels. You can draw them as 2x wide. Don't know yet if is possible
Reading the topic about possible atari jaguar mascot, I have one idea and drawed my own mascot.
Edit :
Changed the previous character to be a lynx mascott and added the new Jaguar.
Jaguar and his little brother, the Lynx
