18 but have an option for all of them if possible!

[primaerfunktion]

Neat looking game - voted for it on Greenlight! And I'd prefer 1 but I like all of them. 

[pikkukatti]

For me it's a tie between 10 and 13 with maybe 1 following closely behind.

[migrafael]

Eheheheh. Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'm having a hard time choosing as well. That's good right? Means that I can hardly do a bad choice

[Bobert]

personally i'm a fan of hairstyles 9, 4, and 13. 9 is probably the best

A quick update!

We have an upcoming build and needed some character portraits. So I made some of Bob and his boss, the Hand.



The hand is kinda like the villain in Inspector Gadget. You only see his hands. The face of greed is no face at all

It turns out that giving a drawing of a hand some character is kinda hard. I made some sketches before I got something decent.



As for Kate, I'm going to tally the votes and see which one will I put in the game. She should be running and shooting today.

Oh, and for those who missed. Please pretty please visit us on Greenlight Thanks!

Kate had to under go some changes in order to fit in Bob's skeleton. Had to ditch those baggy pants cause that would have been hard to animate as is. I've been tweaking the assets in order to get he running in the game properly.

This is kate with the exact same color scheme as Bob.



And these are some rough sketches of her clothing and color schemes. I'm really bad at color. Also I can't get to much detail on the character cause of the size of the sprites. Wanted to do some knee pads but they don't work very well in the animation.


I know it's rough but any favorites?

[pikkukatti]

I know it's rough but any favorites?

Hmm...I can't even figure out why, but I'd say I like 2 the most. I think I like the black/red bottom and the blue is definitely less boring than white for the shirt. They all look great, though.

Wow, it's been long... We were at a game expo and got some amazing feedback. People are having fun with Greedy Guns, and that's the main thing :D

One of the recurring remarks is the lack of decors and variation.



This is how it looks now in a very sparse level. We can't have this. So I got some research going and looked at the amazing Frogatto and Friends, Iconoclasts, and Owl Boy. Had to rethink the way I was adding decor to the levels among other things (more on that on the blog post).

Here's some mockups. Basicaly I want to be able to tint and color some tilesets to maximize their use throughout the game.









With a little tint I got an Autumn looking tileset. Sweet.



That's it for today. What do you think? Feedback is always welcomed :D

[Savick]

Gosh, that's some nice background art.

[Paul]

First mockup area looks pretty awesome! And so do the hand sketches  Just voted on greenlight, definitely deserves to get through.

Thanks for the vote! :D We'll try not to disappoint

Gosh, that's some nice background art.

:D We love praise. At least I do. Makes me feel warm inside and shines away the insecurities Thanks for taking the time to reply!

While I'm at it here's a recent WIP. Should finish this up today. Trying to get a nice background tileset with then swamp like vegetation and some big purple decor leafs to cut it up a bit.



Wish me luck.

Btw, We'll be in Porto for Comicon(Portugal) so if you're around looks us up and play some Greedy Guns

Quick update!



We added some fX to co-op and some changes overall. We where having issues on our latest test play @Lisbon Games Week and so this time, for Comic Con Portugal we want these issues all ironed out!

So here are the major ones:

• The second player could be off camera and go through a door, making both players go through a door without knowing why
• A player could get locked inside an arena or boss battle while the other got locked out.
• Both players having to use the store to equip items wasn’t clear

So we drank some chocolate flavored milk and soy beverage and got to thinking. Then because we couldn’t get any ideas we resorted to stealing some . So off we went to replay Trine 2 and Guacameelle. What we came up with was the following:

• Player 2 no longer triggers anything (boss battles, doors opening or closing)
• When player one triggers an important event player two gets teleport there (see pic below)

There's also something about picking up a token that turns player 2 into player one when the other dies. Will explain that later.



And now for the shameless plug. Check out Greelight pretty please 

[migrafael]

ahhhhh crap. So after Comic Con Portugal I decided it was time to ad more variety to the tileset and make it easier to add detail and decorations. Over 20 hours of work later I got an incomplete tileset that's worse than the one I had... rats...

Before -



After -



With more detail came more repetition. I also redid all the dirt tiles and inside just to realise that what I had was better. Oh well.

I even tried something in between but I think I'm going to go back to the old tileset minus the repetitious vines. Will make those seperate decoration tiles.



What did I learn out of all of this? Don't know. I was on a roll. 18 hours of tile work! Down the drain. Oh well, at least it was fun while it lasted. And I learned somthing. Maybe. Not sure.

Back to wrok I guess

Don't be so hard on yourself.

I think they all work well. If you used each one for a different section of a level, I think it would be cool.

[marcgfx]

I must agree with you. your original tile set is nicer, not so busy. but i do like the work you did on the new tile set, its just too much. would it be possible to randomly use one of your new tiles, or do they not fit together with the old ones? I believe a little variation would be nice, but it cant all be variation

Ahhh, they wouldnt fit unfortunatly. Thanks for the feedback :D

Thanks! I went along and made some changes and ended up doing a new tileset for a new area, the swamp. it's still wip but it's getting there. 

[Paul]

I actually like the last variation of the Jungle tiles you have. If you create a more plain tile or like the others have said, mix it up between the old and the new tilesets and see how it looks

I'm really liking the Swamp! The colours work well and the extra plants give some good variety

Thanks Paul. I'll probably revisit the florest tiles later in the game. So glad you like the Swamp! Nobody here @tioatum has seen it yet I'm happy with it and they took only 5 hours to make! Really happy with that (I time everything with toggl. Makes it easier to estimate times for future projects and features)

[migrafael]

Yeah! The public demo is almost out! Just tuning some stuff, adding some new level art and idle animations! What do you think?






We also redid the whole Greedy Guns website. It's still WIP. Missing content and stuff, but all feedback is welcomed.

Animations

no way to embed vines or youtube stuff so if you wanna check out the idle animations right now, follow the links. I might make some gifs eventually, but I need to go to my swimming class now

Kate Idle

Bob Idle

Can yoyu tell which music has this classic riff? :D
