seems like 50% of the games willuse oryx assets, you should be proud oryx

Sooo... a question... would generating 3d assets from 2d assets be allowed? Like, doing some extrusion... that kind of thing...

I'll only be sad if no one uses the first person dungeon tiles And Oddball should get credit, he inspired me/made the first 8 pixel fantasy sprites

I played around for an hour in photoshop with the first person tiles. There's a few cases your set doesn't handle. Even if you don't allow big open rooms, just corridors, I don't see a way to draw an L shaped turn, for example. I was going to forge ahead anyway, but got enamored with some other sprites. Might come back to it later though.

I was going to (and still want to do so in the future) use Oryx' tiles, but I decided against it and chose to use a mixture of tiles.

Open ended question - I need a name for my game, so I can make a dev thread! Only I can't think of one. But its going to be a multiplayer co-op-em-up (read: coop metroidvania style game). Likely, the playable characters are going to be Robo Cop, Cowgirl, and ninja, with a yet unnamed character to join them. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Can we do voice acting? Or is that counted as non assemblee resources?

[KittenEater]

Yeah, I don't think it'd be a good idea to do voice acting for any Assemblee games now. All the assets, including voice acting, for Assemblee were supposed to be done during part 1, and it's part 2 now.

Well damn.

* Scaling

I might add, scaling while preserving aspect ratio. It sounds obvious, but sometimes there are bad surprises.

[LemonScented]

For what it's worth, I'm loving this competition so far. Being able to drop someone else's nicely animated sprites into my engine is an absolute freaking joy compared to staring at my normal fugly coder art. I'm planning on having my game process some of the assets at runtime (playing with colour more than anything else - from what I've read I could probably get away with doing some of this "prep" work in Photoshop, but I'm going to get my engine to do it 'cos it seems like a more personal touch that way), and I intend to have a LOT of fun using 2D assets to make a 3D game. Originally I was just going to do a 2D thing but when I settled on the assets I want to use and gave it some thought and realised what was possible, so tonight I've been all like "Okay, time to rewrite the renderer, we're going 3D!".

So yeah, cheers for running the compo. I'm having a blast  

EDIT: Incidentally, +peter... Is that something from a game you're making, or is just messing about in a modelling/image editing package? It looks astonishing.

THE BIRD NEEDS TO BE USED!

[Bood_war]

Hmm. Would voice-acting work if it's for text that's already in the game? As in, the stuff would still be there even without the voices (not in my head) but it'd be better with them?

I'll use it, but i'll use everything, does it count?

Bahh..   I wish someone had caught that before part 1 was over - It works fine if you don't show two squares ahead (and just leave it black) - but if you want to use the distance tiles also, I forgot one tile and its mirror. The pixels are actually there, you'd just need to make a new tile out of an existing 2x8 strip into a 4x8 strip like so:

Oryx pretty much wins part 1, I think.

[Blaizer]

Hey peeps!!! Does anybody have a server that has or can get Perl installed on it??? I have made a title remixer but have no where to host it. All details are here on my thread. Thanks!

Oryx pretty much wins part 1, I think.

Maybe we should split it up so we can have Oryx win, and then somebody also to win for music/sfx.

I'm pretty sure it's already set up that way.

Well that's alright then!

Hey Derek, are bugfixes allowed?

Anyway, here's an example of how to fix the one missing tile in case the fix is allowed or coders want to fix it themselves (left most tile on the walls which fixes distant turns and emptiness)

[CoreDumped]

Are we required to release the source code of the game/engine?
