Anyone know a place that hosts .bmps?
You can use googlepages.com... 100MB of webspace.

PNG is fine, thanks!
I'll put the corrected animations in the sprite sheet right now.
SO CLOSE to milestone two, I can smell it.
EDIT: Omigosh, I just noticed the lasers reflecting around the level in the Mission Impossible mockup. SO nice.
EDIT 2: OK! They're in now. Piece o cake.
EDIT 3: (I mean the animations, of course. Not the lasers.)

Hm... I've got to get his blasted states working, try to figure out this one bug that's (you guessed it) really bugging me, and then any niceties. I asked earlier, but it may have gotten buried by all the posts -- do you think you could do a fake handheld border? There isn't much space to work with unfortunately. (Arne's new concepts match the game screen correctly, I believe.) EDIT: Oh! Also the missing animations. Crouching, hanging from ledges, and climbing to the top of ladders. Though, technically ladders and ledges weren't included in the Milestone One goals...

By crouching do you mean crouching or going into crawl mode? I did the latter.  Tiny bit of mo-blur.

I mean "actually" crouching, but I'll add that to the growing collection of animations. You're very talented!

Why does he need an "actually crouching" animation? Then we need a "crouching to crawling animation," too, right?

He needs crouching so he can sit stationary under 1 tile high ceilings. And for the possibility of ducking hazards.
Also, at this resolution I don't think we really need transitions (though they do look nice).

You're very talented!
Thank you  . If he were just kneeling or something it wouldn't make much of a height difference. Maybe 3 - 4 pixels? With an actual just crouching pose, would that turn this into one of those kind of games where, even when crouching, the player could get hit by projectiles? I hate that. Oh, reply. For a character this small I think just one crouching state would do. His head is so big that, like I said above, a crouch would only make around a 4px difference. And if that actually did allow him to avoid obstacles, that would mean the obstacles would all have to just hit at maybe forehead height and above...? He needs crouching so he can sit stationary under 1 tile high ceilings.
How would he get under 1 tile high ceilings without crawling there?

Yeah... he's so small that in order for him to crouch in a passage he'd have to be just a head. What's wrong with just having him be lying on his belly the way he is now?

There's nothing wrong with that! That's what I mean. Maybe a better way to word it would be "crawl idling" or something? You know, him just sitting there. How would he get under 1 tile high ceilings without crawling there?
Climbing up a ladder.

Ooohh...Okay. Little misunderstanding. A "crouching/crawling" idle animation would be a bit much, I think, seeing as how, at this size, a single pixel can make alot of motion, so would a still frame be better? Maybe blinking at intervals to show he's still alive?

Hmm... perhaps. You're the one animating.  EDIT: Goodness, testing with the graphics and animation in place is a joy. The little guy's just so cute!

Yeah, that's what I was (very slowly) trying to get at.

Alri-E I know ladders aren't in this build, but i did climbing anyway.  And added the dismount at the top of the ladder. Thought I'd help keep things going. Good Stuff. I'll get you the separate sprites for the top in a tiny bit. Gotta go for a bit. ladder climb and dismount(Had to export to flash swf cause the .gif was pOOped) http://www.geocities.com/newbyjuice/climb_top_of_ladder.swfladder crawl(use the sprites. the .gif anim is a little jacked)    ..You're very talented!
Seriously!
