Not bad, Cybergoth

Olga is the best!

I'm not working on prince sprites because Le Geek still interessed to draw them.

What I could do is create quick (and ugly) sprites as placeholder, with all frames and once Le Geek comes with new sprites, just change the graphic data.

It's ok for you?

LS_Dracon · September 25, 2009

Ok.

I've post all the sprites of the guardian I did. I need to check if I miss something.

See, there's not much sprites. The trick is the recovery animation.

These sprites is set right after get hit, attack and defense anim.

LS_Dracon · September 25, 2009

I think less...

Some animation share common sprites.

Another very rough calculation by head :

Step,jump,run,fall,climb,drink... Each animation with about 10 frames = 60

The sword fight I think uses the same number of the guardian, about 35

And other small animations or sprites alone, really don't know here, let say about 15 sprites...

110 in a very very rough number.

Nathan, join with me and Le Geek! :ponder: Let's create a sprite team for this project! What you think?

LS_Dracon · September 24, 2009

Me too

And the amazing is, althoug this game seems complex, it's fit perfectly the vcs hardware :

- 2 Sprites per row, using both missile for sword or increase the sprite resolution.

- Ball for falling bricks (my suggestion, don't know if possible)

- Fixed screen, assimetrical playfield for level design.

- Like the original, this game uses 1 action button only.

Everthing flicker free!

Ok sometimes there's a guardian and one trap at same row, and the flicker is necessary, but it's a rare case.

The biggest problem on the vcs was the ram. However with melody cart it's no more a problem.

The universe is conspiring for this game be real :ponder:

LS_Dracon · September 24, 2009

Thank you, Thomas :)I post a new gif, to shows some of the guardians color scheme.

vdub_bobby · September 18, 2009

Congratulations! :ponder:

That's sad :thumbsup:

LS_Dracon · April 21, 2009

Yeah! She doesn't need members for create one band :thumbsup:

Look how she plays the bass using the feet!

Man, I want only 1% of their talent

Stupid cameraman....

vdub_bobby · April 2, 2009

:thumbsup: Both goals are pretty

Yes, I hate that kind of horns too

Here's the soccer team I like, Atlético Paranaense, from my city. The staduim construction will be finished in next months.

It's the final of "state cup" (plays only teams from my state) Atlético wins this match by 2x1, but sadly, an early result give the cup for the opponent team. Stupid rule!

LS_Dracon · March 28, 2009

Here is.

This mockup uses playfield with 16 pixels height. Not using PF0, its require 64 bytes of ram.

You need dig at place no.2, or the lemming die if falling in other places.

LS_Dracon · March 28, 2009

Hm... yes...

Well, it's just one idea in the air. Alot of people will complain about the 1 lemming only on screen, but I don't care.

Going more deep on vcs lemming, I need create traps also, but can be something simple, such one missile like a falling brick.

Pressing the controller fire button, off character range, the screen pause, so you

have all the time to select new tools. The tool box just highlight using a flicker object, there is no reason to "click" on it as you always need hang one tool.

Or wait... press the button to highlight the toolbox, then pushing left or right you change the tool at any cursor position, while lemming keep walking. The cursor can be changed if you're in lemming range, this means the tool can be used.

Time is necessary and the remaining time if level complete, can be the score points.

I can create hundreds of levels in a 32 kb rom, of course, the levels aren't the same from original, and in a fixed screen.

The playfield must be stored on ram to be easily burried.

I'll try to do a decent mockup and post here. Something more plausible.

Too bad we haven't more sprites on vcs, another cool game lemmings style is krusty super fun house, I enjoyed so much the snes version (I think is the same version for all game systems).

LS_Dracon · March 25, 2009

Thank you guys

I have another idea, to keep the game lemming style, but change the main character to an goblin/ leprechaun, and instead to find the exit door, find the golden pot

So this mask the use of 1 character only and turn the game more "original".

LS_Dracon · March 21, 2009

Yeah, just not wring it

Ah, I almost forget, dry in a shadow...

The sun light can erase the eprom.

Nathan Strum · March 8, 2009

Hehehe

Poor Artie, his son will born with a numpad controller.

Nathan Strum · March 2, 2009

Cool!

I had plans for start to draw mine comic strips, but it's nothing related to video game...

I've enjoyed Artie the Atari since the first time I see

LS_Dracon · January 10, 2009

Tnx.

I've made a new character, now looks like one jaguar.

And reducing the tail of the old, I have one lynx. Well, I need to work on ears to looks more like a lynx.

LS_Dracon · January 10, 2009

Lynx had a small tail I guess... The problem is on hair, jaguar has a short hair.

Maybe I'll try to draw a more rounded face for him with short hair.

Nathan Strum · December 17, 2008

I'm big fan of Æon Flux also

Dali began the works of this movie in 1946, less than 10 years after Dysney Snow White... If I'm not wrong.

Ok they use computer to finish it, anyway there is a huge talent on this short movie.

As for 2D - it's not dead yet. Disney's The Princess and the Frog is 2D. Admittedly, it's yet-another-Disney-Princess film, but it's a start. They have to fix the animation machine first, before they can start taking risks again.

At least they have an 2d project, it's good to know

Nathan Strum · December 17, 2008

It's nice to know I'm not unique that don't like Lion King.

The last Dysney movie that really impressed me was Beauty and the beast.

And I'm sad to see that 2D animations is out of fashion.

Actually, 3D animation is faster and way easy to do compared to 2D and not need a true artist to give life for the characters.

That's why I hate 3D animations.

Nathan, did you hear about Destino?

It's a short animation drawed by Salvador Dali, THAT is a animation, too bad he quit the drawings of this movie, so there are only few minutes of animation, but is the most beautifull animation I ever seen. I hope they release it for DVD.
