I think you have it backwards there. In that position, it will be easier to press fn-, for : (right thumb - left thumb) than it is to press shift-, for < (left thumb (sticky), left thumb). The other feature is that (for US standard layouts at least) this is consistent with shift behaviour of...

I assume you're using truetype fonts? If this is representative of your final rendering, you should make sure you pick a font with appropriate hinting. You can see this font isn't calculating its curves very well at this font size. (See 0, Q, B for obvious examples.) If you can get antialiasing...

I had hoped one of the team would have posted on the subject by now, given how soon production will commence. The logo is embossed on the case lid, so once the case tooling is complete they will be stuck with it. POG looks like a fairly small open source project, and I doubt they'd kick up a...

Further down the track there might be a market for putting the Pandora hardware (pretty much as-is) in different form factors, such as mobile phones. The core capabilities could remain the same, with a different selection of input controls for specific markets. Maybe something like my entry in...

I'd be interested in an engine that was object-oriented and event driven. I don't necessarily mean from a programming language point of view as such, but that behaviour is defined for each game object rather than in a central script. Making objects event driven would simplify end-user...

Well. It's been 2 months and I haven't touched any of my hobby projects, let alone something this expansive. I was deluding myself to think I had enough time to work on a project of this scope. As I said earlier in the thread:

A metal stylus would be awesome, but despite that, I'm choosing plastic. Here's my reasoning:Cheaper to replace if lost. Single molded piece, actually making it more robust. Metal styli still have a plastic tip, and that has to be attached to the metal with some form of tiny join (glue/screw...

It's a bit crap, but you could do something like this: You'd need a lanyard with a pretty long loop, but at least it doesn't involve drilling holes.

Australia -- got the email 9 days ago, refund today. Not too bad. Paid $473.21 (£202.88) -- $485.04 with fees Refunded $465.90 (£202.88) I don't see anything wrong with this. The $11 in fees (which I'll probably have to pay again) is a pain, but looking at it the other way, an extra $20 for...

It was only a quick demo, partly as some Flash practice for me. Not representative of final artwork in any way. Probably not much in the way of updates this week, I just started a new job.

It'd have to be done as a filter at the end of the rendering process, otherwise you'd end up with rotated pixels which wouldn't look so great...

Sorry I didn't post these sooner, but here are the graphics files from my example menu: Pandora Panic graphics I've used 32-bit PNGs (8-bit alpha) which I hope is acceptable. The background gradient is transparent in the centre fading to black, so you can set the background colour to anything...

I'm still not sure how you've ended up at a point where it's causing you a problem, unless you flattened some layers at some point and lost your transparency data. Can you post an example XCF so I can see what's going on? Then I could give you specific information.

Flash Example of Character Animation It's pretty basic, I didn't spend much time on the artwork. (Game sprites will be much nicer) Flash deciding to crash halfway through, taking all the animation keys with it didn't help... the original looked better than this, but oh well. :(

It depends how you're producing your new images as to how to fix the antialiasing issue in Gimp. If you're drawing them from scratch, you could use the pencil instead of the paintbrush as suggested, or turn off Antialiasing / turn on Hard Edges in the options for whatever tool you're using. If...

Some mockups for the interface. (I picture the stars in the background flying out from the centre like a particle emitter, not as part of a static background.)

My time is limited, but if you need any specific sprites or graphics I'd be willing to put something together for you. Just send me a PM with the details. Some (outdated) examples of my work at http://www.studiokagato.com Games at http://www.studiokagato.com/game.php General portfolio at...
