Yes i love this look in games, its a nice break from all the pixelarts and vector looking games, not that i mind them at all. Im a huge fan of Bastion, Rayman series(the new ones), Aquaria so yes, it works very well if the artist(s) are up for it. Alot of work for one man tho

yeah this game is designed around exploration, where day and night plays a huge role. At night u need to camp up and defend urself with plant turrets (yes i loved plants vs zombies) against shadow creatures, and at day u are free to roam around gathering seeds(mana) and materials for keeping the plants alive at night. Very complex game tho, but its actually basicly working already, just time thats keeping it on ice:/

The character is skeletal, not a spritesheet. I dont enjoy making spritesheets at all. If u look up programs like Spine, Spriter, Smooth Moves and the likes, u will see its a much faster way to rig 2d characters and just start animating them without redoing the entire character for poses, but much rather do individual parts incase u need them

ArtByElde In reply to warahi [2013-11-30 21:22:12 +0000 UTC]

yeah that is alot of work, with skeletal u only need to remake a few bodyparts maybe, and expressions,sure saves time, but the result is alot better imo. Seriously, check it out, u wont regret it!

oh, when I get to actually making my game I'll look into it ^_^ As of right now though I got about 30-40 frames of animation for the main character sketched out.

oooooh yeah...gonna take forever x_x hopefully it'll be worth it in the end. Still have to learn how to code and program. But I should be getting a video of the character in the animation frames I have for him so far up tonight. I can show you the progress then

IF u enjoy doing art, stick to art. Once u get good enough and u find urself doing it everyday and not thiniknig of it as "work", u are ready to find a programmer partner. I enjoy art, i tried learning code but my brain is too visual to even read, so i teamed up with programmers instead. Doing a game alone is INCREDIBLY hard because theres no one helping u alone, and its easy to loose motivation and not be self-disciplined.

We are 2 people and its VERY nice to have Adrien(the programmer) backing me up, giving me feedback on my art and make me wanna keep going.

YEs i'd love to see it, ive been animating for a while now,skeletal tho, but im sure i can point u in the right direction

Oh don't worry. I'd never call my art "good" really, but I have pretty much been drawing ever since I was 5 (1995). Got all sortsa stories for the characters and hundreds of creatures and characters and blah blah blah. Drawing and making up stuff is my life pretty much ^_^ Even at work I draw for people.

That being said, unfortunately Windows Movie Maker is just as crappy as ever so I can't put up what I wanted to. The most I can show you is this (crappily compressed) gif of part of the pencil test for the animation: www.deviantart.com/art/Xenohun… . It shows Xenohunter breathing, slapping, and walking. Also have him running, jumping, and crawling, but those are seperate and are what I was trying to put together into a video, but couldn't since Movie Maker is crap...and ruined the Mega Man ZX video I was making...

That is not bad at all buddy, im sure he will look great once he is colored and refined, the slap is hilarious U gotta keep doing this man i need to learn how to do short movies for intros and the likes, logo intro, or even small comics like cutscenes.

Well there is always the traditional hand-drawing that takes forever ^_^ it's how I've always done my stuff. This is the longest animation I've done so far: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOV8FW…

haha WOW, dude thats awesome! Had to watch it like 3 times, really like ur understand of movement in that one! U are ready for games in notime, u could even make a decent living out of sketching the skeletons for frame by frame animations, they are good enough WITHOUT artwork!

Be sure to stopo by our forums when he get it up man, id love to have u around in there for the animation section seeing what u come up with

hey man thanks alot! I would love to, but as of now this game was a "handpainted tech demo for 2d games", but it is functional. U cna walk around and shoot at stuff, and theres a small pet following u around. We will continue this game 100% once our mobile game is out, wich i will be revealing in a short while

yes its digitally painted ofc, i use a Cintiq im sure it doesnt take me longer than any dude doing say...pixelart. Im pretty fast making graphics like this, and i learn new stuff everyday. The worst is doing something new that needs referance, but im dedicated
