might i suggest Graphics Gale, i use this all the time and it is incredible for sprite creation.  There is a free version and a commercial version but i find that the free version works just fine.  It can export into a sprite sheet and you can have multiple frames, layers and it does onion skinning as well.  I really like it , thought you might want to try it out. Only problem with it is that you have to pay for it if you want to export to gif. but i just use a different program to do that. hope this helps.

I feel your opinion is somewhat undermined by your avatar.

Actually, another thumbs up for Graphics Gale here. It has certain niggles, sure, but it's the best of a bad bunch. I certainly don't believe we've yet seen the ultimate spriting package.

** super extra mega late replies **

@Rav:  Thanks!

@PigB:  That fall animation was a real pain in the arsecast.com.  I made the generic poof 'cause i'm lazy.  So there.  Not really.  I'll get  around to the blood and guts version.  If someone else does it that'd be great! 

@rob:  Not blinking when GB dies seems like a good idea.  I'm thinking maybe he should blink or something when he reappears.  When GB dies the screen can fade to black, or BMcC can have some sort of nice amazing-3d-fully-rendered-texture-mapped-rotating-screen-wipe-thing going on.  or not.

few more:

Flamin' baldy (alternate)



Finally finished this.  argg.  Too lazy to make him into ashes.
I really like yours better Pig.  Just needs some flames in his lovely locks!  Think I'll add some for ya if you don't mind. 

Basic Death (alternate)


Another one to go with Xion's GB Spinny Fall anim.

meeceses

what about the color?

Well, this one looks like Guy Balding catches fire, while PigBuster's looks like Guy Balding falls in lava.  I'm sure both will happen, and for a 'catching fire' animation yours is pretty great

Oooh, also nice.  Should they have glow-y red eyes?

Hehe.  Thanks Zap.

Yeah, you know, I was thinking the same exact thing about the flames.  This flame anim would prob be good for the temple level.  Maybe it should be an animation where he doesn't die, but dances around a little after he gets hit until the flames go out.

That rat is a pain in the bunzzzzzzzz......
here's another one for ya anyway.

Super! I tried to make some mouse animations but yours are 10 times better than mine. I'm glad I didn't submit mine heh.

Graphics Gale is awesome for former TGF'ers.

[vitaminNewB]

Thanks!  toooo kind.   

I'd say go ahead and post what you get done, or you could save if for later.  There's still the sewer level and some more levels that could use some meeces.  I think Atomic's lab needs to be infested.    Post it all up man!  I'm Sure BMcC would love 'em.

Hi!  I have a few questions about the music in this wonderful project.

Is music still needed?
If so, any special file considerations (format, sizer, etc.)
Any particular style?  Lenghth?

I apologize if these questions have already been answered, but it's a huge freakin' thread and I have not read through most of it.

Since I feel this orwhelming need to contribute, I have attached a small tune written using the samples from one of the public build songs.

Oh snap...I just got an idea: Balding gets turned into a RAT!

[BMcC]

So... many... animations...

Thanks much, dudes!  I wanted to pop in and tell you all that I'm gonna pick up the BQ work very, very soon...  Keep your eyes peeled for a big update. 

PEACE

Gotta love the BMac. (b^_^)b

Just an update:

In case you guys were expecting him to get in on this hot fire this week, BMcC is actually at an all-week family reunion with no internets.  Look for him around this weekend or soon after.

That is all.
