Any Gfx Artist Want To Join Forces With Programmer

[Nagelfar]

See topic and subtopic. I can do games. I know Java, Java runs on the GP2x so we are all set here. What I can't do is Grafics, no really, I totally suck in doing those.
We wouldn't need a sound artist, I can produce beeps, no problem.
Also we would need ideas on what sort of gameplay we wan't to have and that is doable using YOUR graphical skills.
Anyone interested?

Are you sure they'll accept your entry if it is written in Java? They don't accept Fenix, Python or Lua, so you'd better check.

What have Fenix, Python and Lua in common with Java

Well for one they require fancy interpreters And also, they're likely to come under multiple files, which, again, for some super-crazy-cool reason is not allowed.

I must admit though that the contest theme sounds like a lot of fun.

I'm interested in working with you again, Nagelfar. But, like Alex wrote, it sounds like they might not accept Java as a programming language for the contest:

GP2x (tested on the real thing, one file games only, seperated readme files are ok)

So, the multiple-files & Java-loader like we had in Laser2X probably wouldn't be acceptable. Do you want to check with the judges to find out if they'd allow it? Or is it possible to bypass the loading sequence, and to compress it all into one file?

Well, most of the time nowadays it is JIT compiled but you are 100% right about the multiple files thing, thx a lot for pointing that out! I will check with the guys.

Yeah I will check with them, I really like the idea of the contest as I loved those game, would be a pity not to be allowed to compete.

Yes they do. From the rules:

If you use Fenix, Python, ZoT and/or LUA coded games, make sure you put the RUNTIME LIBRARY packaged with your entry.

Basically, as long as you don't have to download a seperate package to get the thing running, you can use whatever you want.


Edit: Looks like there was an edit to the rules today so it might be that this thread was the cause of that.

Yeah I checked with them. Java is fine, multiple files are fine as long as you don't send them 100 different files and runtimes to download and install seperatly. I can very well understand that

We could really use some more artists for hire here. I suggest you look for some help in the meantime at: http://www.pixel-arts.org/pixelation/

Nice site, thx for that. I think I'm already set with an artist for this competition

if anyone needs single-color LCD-style graphics, i could muddle my way through those. haha

I think we can talk. I've been doing game graphics since 1989. If it's a game I'm passionate about, I give discounts
