Mr.Confuzed said:Also, I did a little art for your fire game. It should be better than the placeholders at least!
Just out of curiosity, does the new art need to fit the boundaries of the placeholders, like these do?
Ah, yes, I understand that the achievement pics should all be the same size. I was talking about the fire game. For example, adding roofs?Pickle said:

aaah, now I can imagine the GFX much better (still havven't tested the Game). Why is the colour-Keying on every Tile? shouldn't it be more onto an empty, seperate tile?Mr.Confuzed said:Also, I did a little art for your fire game. It should be better than the placeholders at least!

I like the minimalistic Style!It's just that the stream moves in discrete steps, which I would assume is there to make the game harder.Pickle said:
The first Pixel of the House-Tiles are all pink. I guess that these Colour will be invisible into the Game. So in the finished scene, there is a pixel missing on each tile.Mr.Confuzed said:
So normaly the Key-Colour for transparency (pink here) could be defined outside of the used tiles.
Well, that was just one idea, I will go with the one which looks best as an icon.Mr.Confuzed said:
Well, it is because the cpu is binary based so it has to do less conversions and divides on a based 2 image (might not be completely right), but I just did what looked best, also we are not talking about (animated) sprites here, these are just some static icons, so there is nothing to worry about...fusion_power said:
Yeah, that's right. That pixel was there before I touched the pic, so I just left it.fusion_power said:The first Pixel of the House-Tiles are all pink. I guess that these Colour will be invisible into the Game. So in the finished scene, there is a pixel missing on each tile.

Actualy, the "rule of 8" has nothing to do with Performance I guess. But the Sprites/Tiles/Everything simply fit better onto a 800x480 screen. This comes in handy, when you have the entire Screen full of stuff but I agree it really doesn't matter in the case of PP.foxblock said:Well, it is because the cpu is binary based so it has to do less conversions and divides on a based 2 image (might not be completely right), but I just did what looked best, also we are not talking about (animated) sprites here, these are just some static icons, so there is nothing to worry about...
I don't think making them 64x64 would increase performance and if you are very uncomfortable with the fact that they are not, well then I guess you will just have to live with it
(Basically I just made the achievements 80px high and added a 5px border around the icon, which looked good, so I left it that way)

OK, with this pic, I see more clearly. I first thought there are only 2 large Houses one left and one right from the Firetruck. (Maybe with random number of Windows) I thought about to make a Tile Set with Roof-Tiles (left, middle,right), Window-Tile, Door Tile and side-Tiles (left, right). But for this Setting, the Game need some reprogramming I think.Mr.Confuzed said:Yeah, that's right. That pixel was there before I touched the pic, so I just left it.I doubt that that pixel defines the transparency, but I could be wrong.(I was wrong) Here's a pic of the game originally:
As you can see, it's not tiled horizontally like your game. So that pixel is nigh invisible.
I am pretty sure I somewhere read that it also has to do with performance, but I also talked to an artist and he said in general it's easier to design sprites/tiles with the usual dimensions (16,64,etc.), also we are probably going to use some of the in-game sprites for icons and because of all that icons are now 64x64...fusion_power said:Actualy, the "rule of 8" has nothing to do with Performance I guess.

Looks very impressive, I like itMarkoeZ said:

looks like an early version of an upcomming horizontal shooter. Why not.MarkoeZ said:

Also the "limited flaps" mechanism is good, removes the exploit of being able to stay at the top of the screen and being invincible.
Is the level created randomly, hard coded or do you load it from a file?
Though it might be a bit too slow for a PP game (not enough panic

Instead of an Space Ship, you fly a Bird. Could be interesting. I don't know with what the bird would fire straight ahead but I have an idea for droping a "Bomb" :lol:
