Which version are you grabbing the frames from btw?Thomas Jentzsch was kind enough to provide the PC version of the sprites
-
Nice!
That's going to be a lot of work, but it's going to be mighty impressive when it's all put together.
What software are you using?
Thanks! I'm using Photoshop and Imageready. Basically, I'm picking out which frames to keep. Shrinking them down using nearest neighbor (instead of of bilineal). then tweaking from there...

Interesting read. Couple thoughts
Xbox 360 defects were 4 to 5 times less than the Launch PS2 units, I don't have the numbers on me but eric_ruck does. And M$ had postage paid replacements. The shortages have definitely hurt them though.
I wonder how much high def and high def DVDs will really matter next gen. I got a DVD player pretty early on, but I'm not interested in upgrading to a new format yet. Also I have a 36" Sony WEGA that I'll probably keep until it dies. And while all of us on AtariAge are not typical core gamers (by default
) I do own a PS2, Cube, Xbox and DS, so I'm still a part of the target audience...I was thinking of maybe picking up a 360 as I am selling off some of my games that I don't play. The in cockpit view in PGR3 sounds very cool. But conversely, I bet I could have a lot of racing fun with GT4 which is like $20 now...
Having been burned by the promise of PS2 (which was eventually remedied with ICO), I am wary of the PS3 until I see real demos.
My console punditry:
1) Microsoft will gain marketshare but may stay number 2.
2) Sony will lose marketshare but may stay number 1.
3) Nintendo will gain marketshare (particularly in Japan) and will be very close to Sony and MSoft.
4) It will be almost a three way tie.
My advice to Microsoft:
1) Get some content that Japan is interested in.
2) Develop or nuture some games that are more than PC/guy centric. My girlfriend will not play Xbox.
3) Pay Minter to develop a new Tempest or other twitch game for Xbox 360 arcade (personal wish
)Bonus handheld puditry:
The DS will win in all regions, unless Sony stops making console ports and starts making compelling pick up and play PSP games...

Hi,
Do you like this climbing sprite
better than the current one
Cheers,
Ben

Cool!
I noticed that the player animation is reversed when running to the left (sort of like a moonwalk). I think the digging animation is starting on the wrong frame (it looks fine once looped) If it's starting on frame one, maybe it should start on frame two? Also, I think I need to rethink the climbing sprite as it doesn't match the others very well.
The speed and difficulty seem about right to me. I was able to clear the board on my 4th or 5th try. This has been a lot of fun seeing my little sprites in a 2600 game. Thanks!
Cheers,
Ben
