Struggled for a name so that will do. (Taken from Google translate because I can't actually speak my own native tongue to my great shame!)

This was another piece that has bloated out of control! I think the colour count is correct (accursed Pro-motion rubs me up the wrong way at the best of times so sorry if not!)

Enjoy! 

Edit: best in 2x by the way! ;)

Hello, I really love this animation, and I would love to make a game with it in flash.

My idea is that the blood and the gibs of the enemies keep still on the ground wich scrolls with it, I know how to do this.

This is a game I made: http://fav.me/d3bbjc7

If you wan't to collaborate to make game, please :)

 You donkey. :) You coulda' made that in Game Maker in no time!


user
robnoyce (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/14/2011 3:54:17 AM

Haha, unbelievably no! This was supposed to be a simple thing to test out GameMaker and see what I could do with it! I ended up just focusing on the mockup instead!

 Lovely stuff, Robbo! Is this another part of the magnum opus you wanna' make?

I love the animation! The flying has a natural "pull" to it. It feels very arcade-like and fun! The cycles themselves are loose and fluid. I especially enjoy the devil's destruction animation.

The sprites read well against the background, so the colors are practical, but I think the palette could be a little more cohesive. The magenta, dark blue, turquoise green, and yellow feel a bit too electric to work together. Maybe it's intentional, but it makes the nature in the scene look slightly unnatural.

Great work! I second your frustration with ProMotion. It's useful, but so counter-intuitive and glitchy.

I am indeed a welshy mate! The mockup is all hand assembly. I tend to animate my character loops, get over-excited and then formulate some rudimentary backdrops and other details and put it all together.


user
Riva (Level 6 Commander) at 3/11/2011 11:59:04 AM

Pretty good. I love all the little animated details (the red guy starting to bite when he gets close to the hero ! ... )

How did you put it together to resemble a game ? all positioned by hand, or some 'engine' to simulate a game ?
 

And I guess you're Welsh ? ;)

Very cool. Nice colors. Nice animations. Though I find your pixelling style a bit gritty, it still has a nice pixelly aesthetic to it.

 I think you could add another layer or two of clouds. I think that way fat moving foreground clouds won't stick out as much.

PARALLAX SCROLLING!!!!


user
robnoyce (Level 1 Rookie) at 3/10/2011 6:28:28 AM

The clouds are a fair bit faster than the other layers. This was mainly because I had a lot of  force in the animation hitting the characters hair and shroud like there was a lot of wind or he was travelling at speed.

I wanted something in the environment to reflect this but do accept it may jar with the other layers of parallax (I should have just had the environment travelling quickly as if at speed but don't think this will be true to how it would be in-game!). Thanks for the comments! :)

 Ah man this is awesome looking! Looks like everything is going a tad bit too slow compared to the clouds on top but still pretty damn awesome.

Hehe, I rarely use anything else for animating pixels but my default state is to abuse the software I love the most sorry!


user

Great piece though boo to the Pro Motion dissing.  It's the best damn pixelling program around.
