Keep up the good work! Can you tell us what this game is about and where you see it going?

It will be about love, power, deep space clichés.
I have chosen that the player won't say a thing during the whole game. I want the game to speak. I know this sounds cryptic but I've got a this idea how I should execute this.

This update might look dull. But i've implemented easing in my game.
This will also be used for the camera during realtime cutscenes.



also this

So yea, i've bin gone for a while. Still looking for a job.
I'm making a new kind of enemy again. This time it's a rotating one. I will make it somekind of claw enemy. Here is how he works atm.

This is coming along nicely !

This is coming along nicely !

thx^^

Also i'm working on a sprite to go with it. Still a wip though. I'm gonna make it like a taser.



Also I implemented that if you want to jump high you need to have jumped once before.
It just felt way to clunky if you could instantly jump high. Especially in tight spaces.

So yea, i've bin under the radar for some time now. Life happened, needed money. anyway!

I've found some time to fixe my running animation

                     

    new                                        old


I've also bin toying with a guard prototype, still a wip though! (doesn't include the new running animation yet)



Oh, and I might have found a publisher, nothing has bin signed yet but were talking

Hey dude, great news re publisher (depending on the deal I suppose!). I think the running anim would look a little better if the centre of gravity was more forward. Personally, I'd slant him a little forward and move the head and right-arm forward. I'd also add a pixel of momentum to the helmet -- e.g., make the helmet lag one frame behind the body.

Edit: I just noticed that the legs are really hard to read too. The leg at the back should be darker to help isolate the front the leg. Also because the guy is angled toward the viewer, the back leg shouldn't kick back as far as the front, and should kick further forward that the front.

So yea, I vanished from this forum for some time xD I was so sad that i had lost my harddrive wich contained all of my work. But I happened to find my drive again. Rejoice! I'll be working on this yet again!

And yea i'll be looking into the pixelart yet again xD Guess i'll now have a fresh eye on my work.

[rundown]

Back in action! Might even make the back leg and arm even more dark. I'll see how it turns out in my new pallet!

This is looking cool! Lots of fine details and great animations and backgrounds.

And I like that all enemies are robots so that I don't have to kill for real~

That new fast-running animation is really neat. Flickering light is neat!

All I'm thinking is at this point maybe you should start replacing those brown blocks with some updated graphics – they're beginning to feel a bit out of place with the details that have gone into all of the newer backgrounds and so on.

The health bar feels kinda clunky tho. Can it be reduced somehow, moved to a static position in a corner of the screen, be made a bit transparent or only appear when you take damage instead of being visible constantly or something?

Can't really provide any criticism beyond that. This is looking great! Congratulations on the publisher thingy~
