Happy Birthdays for Chevy!

And that Chibi Minigame is looking suh-weet. This game is going to be something, I can see it.

Thanks guys

Anyhow, the game will be getting a recoloring soon, basically upping the contrast and saturation of everything... purtying it up in general.

I'm working on a secret-project with the person who will be helping me with the game's graphics So for the moment, Skullboy is on hold. When I come back to it, though, you can be sure I'll have some really hawt-lookin' screenshots for you all.

Very good news about the colouring!  For someone as unapologetically happy as you, the preview screens seemed a bit muted.

Oh, and happy birthday too!

1) The poor pig has elephant feet, instead of pig-type-hooves. That'll be fixed.
2) The ground tiles are updated, but now the grass looks To awesome in comparison, so this needs to be fixed.

To be honest I really liked the flat look...I think you've gone ahead of yourself on this one. Fix it. NOW!

So yeah to much priority!

[ChevyRay]

You should see the ground tiles NOW :D Someone helped me get rid of that "bubbly" look.

EVERYTHING has priority in Skullboy. Nothing shall get underestimated! I am going to make this game godly, whatever it takes, and however long it takes.


By the way, who wants to go Grave Surfing?

Also, I know that a few of you like the flat-look, and I kinda liked it too, but this is only the first stage of the game. I wouldn't be able to keep that look consistent in the game, because there are other stages like the sewer, library, and the rooftops area that are going to need textured tiles to convey the themes of those stages properly. If I immediately set a "flat" theme to the graphics, then it would really clash with the later levels, and give players the wrong assumption at first-glance of the game.

I hope that makes sense; I'm not ignoring you guys <3 I just think upping the ante on the texture a bit will help the game as a whole.

any news about the progress?

[ChevyRay]

The only thing I've done since my last post is recolored all of Skullboy's animations (which itself took several hours ) and fixed up a couple of the stage layouts a bit.

There was a lot of tweaking involved for the first boss, as it was pretty much unanimous amongst my testers that it was too hard and long. Other than that, I programmed some ghosts that appear in the scrolling levels (they "push" the screen from the side, a bit of videogame humour to explain the phenomenon).

Battlerager and I sort of worked out a design and a song for one of the special events that happens mid-stage in the Graveyard level, but I haven't gotten around to programming it yet.

Still waiting for that spark to rocket through the rest of the Graveyard and the big boss. Right now I'm still busy as hell doing some self-educating (mostly mathematics and physics stuff) as well as prototyping an engine for a possible shareware project.

[AuthenticKaizen]

nice.
even when its not much progress - as you said du to different reasons - it is still progress... and thats a good thing


good luck with that shareware project.
