today I made a proper site for Bandit Party.

I learned how to use Photoshop's animation features, since Flash's GIF export is terrible. 


The fact that you have to paste all the frames into one image in Photoshop to make the animation is kind of annoying, though,

[Azure Lazuline]

That is quite the art style.

[vivavolt]

Trying to get to grips with drawing in flash... Only ever really done pixel art before!

Might turn into a game?



Not happy with the "duck" on the left.

[ANtY]

tentacle thing on the right looks the best for me

[golemshaper]

@Μarkham, that's just awesome... seriously. 

Today I created a video showing "Item World" and "Afterlife Hub" gameplay for my project Two Brothers.

[Pixelulsar]

@vivavolt, I like most of that art in the picture.  My favourite is probably the dragon, jellyfish or mushroom.

Today I made a gameplay

for my first puzzle game ever.  That means you know it is going to be good. I usually stick to platformers and shooters, but I thought I'd give it a try, I hope it isn't terrible.

I felt like making an avatar

Started on a tileset and got parallax working today. Ever feel like no matter what you accomplish you're not really getting anywhere?

[SolarLune]

^ Yeah, that happens sometimes. Working parallax and starting on a tileset isn't bad at all, though. Keep up development!

I completely agree with you.

I completely agree with you.

Maybe displaying the tasks you already solved somewhere in your working environment could help? Crossed lines in a to do list, post-it notes in a "Done" area on a whiteboard, something like that.

I was experimenting with using primary colors other than RGB. (Pictured is red-yellow-cyan-violet)

@Markham if you venture to write your own GIF-exporting code I've made public a bit that I've written here

[Pineapple]

messing with the algorithm a bit

[FK in the Coffee]

Logo work is hard.

From a photoshop perspective that is a good thing. They aren't attempting to lure in animators to photoshop with their gif production capabilities, they are providing gif production capabilities to people who already use photoshop already. I've had to in the past create animations in photoshop and then use the images in another program to create the gif file, so what they have done actually works very well.

Yeah, I had just wished there was some way to automate the copy-pasting, or a way to paste the frames without having to add junk in the corners so that it pastes in the right place (Photoshop has no way of pasting transparent images in the same coordinates they were copied from...), but I also forgot I could have just brought the frames into After Effects and export it with that.

It would be even better if Adobe got off their butts and actually did anything with the GIF export in Flash, but that's really expecting too much out of them.

Player's weaponry now renders onto their body

[FemtoKitten]

I was bored so I made a text-based simulation of the life of a cat, where you can hunt flies to bears (and fish, and chihuahuas, and dogs, and cats, and birds, and...).

It also allowed me to get familiar with the StringTokenizer, which I am glad to be familiar with now.
