Generally, I agree with John. Even some of the first designs were pretty ridiculous... One character I think has gotten a little better, though, is mitsurugi.

Old (soul edge/blade):



Generic japanese fighter guy imo.


New (soul calibur 5):



Seasoned warrior with feet-won't-stop-getting-bigger disorder.

I've only played Soul Blade. I guess they made him older in SC5? I dunno. I think he's more interesting as a character as an older person.

spending my saturday doing a research paper


hahahahahaha kill me

Seasons and I started on a warmup game... not really a game, just an engine. It has your basics: movement, mouselook, shooting, collisions, one enemy.




This is made in Game Maker... Going to be a pain. I'm going to (try to) make a primitive level editor the week before it starts, hopefully that will be of some help to others. The goal is a layer system, with each layer being a floor of the level. The goal is to make levels more visually interesting by varying the heights of some platforms. Maybe if I figure out slopes and stuff, it will be cooler...

If you rotate, then scale, it's not as noticeable.

meme art show


huh?? the rub-feces-on-paper is more arty than this

dum????

those are not screenshots

I Love Memes They Are So Funny And Hilarious LOL XDDD

xxxEPIC BRONY 420xxx

LOL EPIC!!!!

For pixel art, I use GIMP, because I like to take advantage of the layers and palettes. GraphicsGale is also nice, as it has better animation support.


Unrelated: I think it's high time we make one megathread for these kinds of questions: "What program should I use for...?"

that is incredible

Is teamwork against da rules? if so, that's a pity, but I'll still probably get something.

I'm a junior in high school... Don't know what I'm going to do after school... I'd like to start a game studio but I think i better get a real job.

Nothing against college, but i don't think it's for everyone... I don't like when some people act as though college is the only way to succeed in life... especially when they're ditzy.

Thanks a ton homeboy.

but it is jpg compressed and that means aaaaaaaaaaa.

Is there any way you can make a palette of all of those colors, or perhaps a non-jpg version so I can get it myself?

yeah that doesn't make sense to me either, except from a laziness standpoint.
