We're trying to get something playable out by the end of this year/beginning of 2010.



Development and arty thread for a game I'm making with Decipher.

Concept artstuffs for the protagonist:

In-game Mockups:




Sprites:





 

[xerus]

My soul.

My soul wants to be involved with this... but my brain says "You don't know enough programming!"

So all I can say for now is that I think those screen shot mock ups are awesome.

[Bad Sector]

Whats the game all about? :-)

[Flink]

Really nice, i totally wanna make that game! I'm a bit short of time at the moment but depending on the size of the game I'm probably in if you want my love! 

*Edit*
So please feel free to contact me at anytime at henrik.flink(at)bad-food.com

[Hideous]

Oh I wanna make this so badly.

I would too, if Construct wasn't such a glitchy mess right now.

[sereneworx]

I'm glad you all like it

To Flink, the game isn't going to be massive, nor is it going to be small, so I think that if you don't feel you have enough time...

...Your shot at love has ended. </relatively obscure TV show reference>


And at Hideous, what is Construct?


About what the game is about... I'm not really completely sure right now, I'm still thinking up ideas.. But I can say for certain that it involves lots of coffee, mysterious things and an orange umbrella.

If you guys have any ideas, feel free to throw them at me

[godsavant]

In the bottom sprite, is he shrugging, idling, or just breathing heavily?

[sereneworx]

Breathing heavily

[ChevyRay]

As I've already said, this looks great!

Are all the levels going to be so dark? That's fine, but if so, I think it'd be alright to take out the black outline on the main character. It's a bit ugly, and his animation is so cool , but it's unnecessary, because he's easy to see contrasting the background so much.

I'd LOVE to see that lava animated. I love your shapes and forms. The spikes look cool, and the Cafe is very neat looking. I'm also jealous of your backgrounds.

If 1) you don't get a programmer for this game by the time I'm done Skullboy, or 2) you'd like to collaborate on something else after this, give me a PM/email. Honestly, I love making this kinda stuff (and I could probably match your pixels if I tried hard), so please put me first in line You've got great visions, I'd like to see one of them through.

[Gainsworthy]

Why haven't I learned to make games yet? This is exceptionally nice looking. In all ways. Hope you find someone!

Second on Love for the Cafe, too.

[sereneworx]

I thank you all for the love.

No, not all the levels are dark. In fact, I've just done another mock-up and some more concept art to further illustrate my point.

The first boss, perhaps?

I would love to collaborate with you, ChevyRay, I quite enjoy the cut of your gib
 And, if you'd like my help on Skullboy for anything, I'd be honoured to lend it, though I'm a bit out of practice pixelling in that retro-ey style, but perhaps I can assist on backgrounds or the like.

God, I've edited this like three times just so I can be satisfied with the grammar. I hate being a perfectionist.

[Melly]

That's an awesome boss.

[ChevyRay]

That's an awesome boss.

That boss is an awesome one. I love its unique HP meter. :D Stuff like that, and the awesome art style, will make this game stand out for sure.

I see why you kept the outline, now, looks good when you put him there. I like this autumn world.

Thanks for the offer if anything drastic pops up, I'll scream. But just keep workin' on this beautiful stuff, you're bound to land yourself a programmer with those awesome shots.

[sereneworx]

Hah, you have inadvertently stumbled upon one of the ideas I have for the game.

There will basically be four areas, each one based around a season of the year. Autumn, winter, summer, and spring.

[Jesseyay]

This game-to-be looks heaps good at the moment.
Can't wait to play it

I can program, but I'm working on my own game at the moment. If you still haven't got a programmer by mid to late october I'd be more than happy to join up.
