Motor homes vs Wizards?

It doesn't use real physics. I just place lava blocks in my editor (Ogmo editor!) and then they just fall down until they hit some kind of ground below them. I don't have the time (nor the knowledge) on making actual physics liquid.

Which is why I said a simplified version of the sandgame's water physics
Basically how it handles water physics is:
If the cell bellow the current cell ISN'T filled it moves down.
If the cell bellow it IS filled it checks on the cells on each side.
If the left one is filled it goes right.
If the right one is filled it goes left.
But if none of them are filled it picks one of them by random.

It's really simplistic but provides a pretty complex water-like behaviour.

continuation of an idea I had at pegjam

I've been playing with made up restrictions using a garish 16 color palette (light and dark red, yellow, green, cyan, blue and magenta plus black, white and 2 grays).

Screen is 160x240 with one colour per 8x8 tile/sprite. Pew! ♥

[Ashking]

Wow. Masterful work. I especially love the ship.

[kaboom]

I especially love the ship.

Tight stuff there kev.

one colour per 8x8 tile/sprite.

It looks awesome!

[JMickle]

made up restrictions sounds awesome. and looks awesome too

Really great and imaginative use of the colors. Love those green jumpy alien things.

The dirt tiles bug me just a little bit, but I'm not sure how I could possibly imagine any way of doing them better. But I'm just silly and I guess it's really not worth mentioning. even. though... i did.

I really wish I was a better programmer so that I could help more artists get these mock-ups made.

2 mockups for a hack'n'slash game (some sprites are juste placeholders):

The big version 1600*1200 looks so much better, maybe I have to put fawer details, I don't know...

Another one (1600*1200 version):

And yes, this is going to be a game (4-players, co-op, XNA)! ^^

Wow, Kevin, very cool stuff! Reminds me of my days playing Metroid II on my gameboy, haha, more color of course! Would love to see more.

[Geti]

one colour per 8x8 tile/sprite. Pew! ♥

does that apply to sprite overlays or is their colouring handled separately on this imaginary device Seems to be the latter judging by the bullets, otherwise you might want to hide the tiles in there.
Seems to lead to similar results to ZX Spectrum limitations. Pretty cool, I love the spaceship.

@Kevin: Delicious stuff, no gripes. The HUD works really well and everything else is gorgeous. Full game soon?

[Damian]

Jerom, that looks fantastic! I'll be keeping an eye out for this game
