Art

closed account (N36fSL3A)
I'm not an artist or anything but I made this for my game http://prntscr.com/yz3h1 (DON'T STEAL IT) I wonder what you think about it. I'm thinking about doing my own pixel art.
Looks good. A lovely choice of colors. Maybe the hair looks a bit as if it were a cap though (my guess is that this is due to a lack of texture on the hair)...
Anyway, have you tried doing animations yet? That seems like the hard part... What type of game is it?

A harvest moon type game. I always had a soft spot for them. Yea, I just finished the sprite. I also just wrote the code to use animation in the game.

Just tested my animation system. It works to some extent but fails. I guess I'm just tired. Let me catch some rest.

Mario is going to be pissed when he realises that you stole his dungarees.

Sorry to veer off topic put my character direction system works, but I cant move anywhere but diagonally. I don't understand why it doesn't work, as I directly copied it from my Kyden project. (I added some position code):

If it goes on the same diagonal whatever arrow you press, you probably wrote
1
2
x+=xVel;
y+=xVel;
or something like that.

thats good fredbill, im afraid you are an artist, or you have artistic ability.

some guy who writes for the guardian newspaper(uk)is arguing that computer games can never be art they can only be design, I don't agree but some art assholes will think that our opinions won't matter because we don't get art considered to be un-accessible to normal folk (like most turner prize, damien hurst or either of the Tates)

I think your an artist anyway for what that means to you.

I think I'm really good on paper, not to brag or anything. I just really never did pixel art. Thanks.

Hamsterdam this is my update code:

X += Xvel;
Y += Yvel;
