I thought I'd post some of the steps Stephane Boutin went through making our background stages. You might recognize Stephane's art from such games as Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Mercenary Kings.

We had asked Stephane for a street-level stage to flesh out the city of Megalopolis. Choosing the Bank as the setting was his idea.



This was the first concept of the stage and, needless to say, we were sold on it right away.



The scene takes better shape as the cops and robbers are added. A furious bank manager looks on.



The grayed-out stage is complete! But we proposed a different perspective to make the stage feel more dynamic.



Voila, all of the elements are in place, all that was missing is the colors, a few details, and to make it come to life...



And Stephane delivers in his trademark way! The stage is complete and ready to be integrated... all but the street name. Now why would we go and leave that blank?

Woooooooooow 

Thank you :D

Is that frankieSmileShows work?

Yes it is

Thank you! Here are some anims of a second character: Brainfreeze

Wow. What can I say, this feels like a game from my childhood! I can't wait for it to be finished!!

Thank you for the kind words :D

Just thought I'd share some of Gnat-Man's anims as well as a "making of" video of his sprite work

Hello fellow Unity users!

My name is Malcolm Clay and I'd like to tell you all about this little side project my friend and I have been working on part time for about a year now. It's called Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy! http://youtu.be/0Wt2DJx2tRI It's an action/puzzle game in the same vein as Puyopuyo/Puzzle Fighter/Puzzle Kombat but with a superhero theme and super moves!






We're based out of Montreal, Canada and have recently showed the game off at an IGDA organized Demo Night! http://heroesneverlose.com/2013/01/23/igda-demo-night-pictures/

The game is still very much a WIP but we're hard at work updating the art and adding characters! Here's a gameplay video of what we have so far http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHq8ZKItBJI.

For more info, please see http://heroesneverlose.com if you're shy, or ask me here directly if you're not!

Thank you for your time and feedback

[Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy!]

Hello everybody!

My name is Malcolm Clay and I'm an independent video game designer... on my spare time when I'm not grinding away at my 9-5. I live in Montreal Canada with my beautiful, who tolerates my hobby as much as one can expect of "casual" gamer. I love to play games (video/card/board), read comic books, play basketball, and try new foods.

I'm a regular in the Indie scene here in Montreal, attending pretty much every event. And let me tell you, there are many! For example, the Mount Royal Society http://mrgs.ca/ holds monthly demo nights witch sometimes get over 100 people in attendance.

So, I've been working on this little side project with a friend part time for about a year now. It's called Heroes Never Lose: Professor Puzzler's Perplexing Ploy! http://youtu.be/0Wt2DJx2tRI It's an action/puzzle game in the same vein as Puyopuyo/Puzzle Fighter/Puzzle Kombat but with a superhero theme!





I'm posting here in hopes of getting feedback from this awesome community! I know this might not be the place, so I'll continue this in the appropriate sub-forum

Thank you for your time!

Malcolm
