A tutorial on how to make characters using pixel art   ? I checked the pixel art tutorials sticky thread and most of the links there teach how to make backgrounds , buildings.

I have a series of Pixel Art tutorials - I'm up to part 4 on color contrast. Animation's next. Here's the YouTube playlist.

There's a thread about it here, as well (not the pixel art tutorial sticky; I didn't see it at the time.  )

I don't know if this would be tutorial territory, or more of a primer, but something about selecting tile size and resolution/screen dimension would be a good thing.

[SolarLune]

Depends. I believe 16x16 is a nice size for most files and sprites. Different resolutions work for different games. GBC, for example, had a simple square resolution - 128x128? Computer games can go to 320x240 for retro games (Cave Story and Spelunky, I think). Basically, you want to keep to native computer resolutions USUALLY. Keep in mind that nobody wants super small character sprites, too.

This may be off topic, but I am looking for video tutorials on game development in ActionScript 3 or Java. And preferably in a series not just a "how to" video. Thanks in advance

[rek]

Depends.

Thus the request.

[hastylumbago]

I request a procedure tutorial.

Basically, I'd like a tut which gives a decent idea as to how to start a project. what sort of foundations does one have to lay? when do you get someone to start doing art assets for you? Things of that nature. I basically want a checklist, so that I don't do that thing where you get ahead of yourself and discover that the stuff you did for step 35 has to be redone now that you've finally gotten around to step 3.

Is that a doable thing?

[John Sandoval]

different people have different procedures

cactus can develop games within 24 hour time spans

alec holowka/derek yu made aquaria over 2 years

fez has been developed for over 4 years

each person had a different procedure/mindset for each

[eclectocrat]

I'd like an AS3 for programmers guide, if you already know how to code, what are some tricks/pitfalls when transferring that knowledge to AS3.

[Angelbait]

Howdy guys! 

I've scoured Google for any info I could find on the subject but I cant seem to find any guides to making a tile set in Flash CS5.5.  Or for any Flash in that matter.  I just want to learn how to use the cloning tool to make the best tile set I possibly can!  I'm not looking for a tut on how to draw a tile set, more towards the exact procedure I would need to take in Flash.

Thanks a bunch!

I'd really appreciate it if any artist here could share some tips or technique to produce photorealistic art like they use in Hidden Object games. It has always bugging me how could they produce such realistic photo within a short period of time.

Tracing things from google images, lots of photomontage.

Thanks! My friend and me have thought of photomontage, but was wondering if there are other ways. For some reasons tracing never cross my mind, but it does make sense.
