Alien and Bird Redux

Luke — Fri, 18 May 2012 11:30:58 +0000

I think things are staring to come together! :D I made the bird more otherworldly so it would fit into the theme. He has a nicer flap now, too; though you can’t see it. His eye bob up and down on ...

Yes, I think these fellows are actually going to be in a game together. The alien is gonna be the main character, and he’ll be stomping on…birds? I’ll keep you guys ...

Alien

I was messing around in Graphics Gale and came up with this little alien fellow.

I started out making a mouse and the ears turned into eyes and, well, I guess I got excited about doing a tentacle walk cycle (which turned out to be very confusing, I’ll tell you). I’m still floundering about looking for a game idea, but maybe this alien will be a good springboard. He does have a lot of character, doesn’t ...

Breaking Into the Third Dimension

Luke — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:14:44 +0000

I’ve been looking at the Unity game engine over the last few days, and I’m amazed at how easy it is to make a 3D game these days! I’m thinking I MUST try it out on something. The only downside is that it’s REALLY expensive for the pro version which has all the sexy features to make your games look awesome.

Soooo, I’m wondering if anyone has tried any other editors and could recommend one. I think I’ll try out Torque3D and NeoAxis to see how they compare. They’re much less expensive and sound like they have similar ...

Here’s Johnny!

I think I’m gonna do some simple pixel art for my next game. Maybe challenge myself NOT to go overboard with the graphics…lol.

I’ve been using GraphicsGale to fool around with some pixel animations, and it’s actually pretty fun! It has all the export tools I need to make sprite sheets, so I think I’ll use it. :3

This just might be the main character in my next game. We’ll see what happens. For some reason he looks like a Johnny to me, haha.

P.s. Tiki man idea still possible. Await further notice.

P.p.s. I did ...

Evil Bunny?

More character ideas?

After some brainstorming – and a failed attempt at partnering with someone – I think I have a better idea of what I want to do. I’m seeing a tiki man running through the jungle and stomping on colorful birds. It’s like mario, except tropical.

I’ll keep you ...

Game of the year nominee!

Luke — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:11:54 +0000

JayIsGames.com has always been so nice to my games in their reviews, and now they’ve nominated William and Sly 2 for game of the year! Voting is here…you know…if you want to vote.

You can vote multiple times, so I figure having a blog and a legion of fans will help milk the system. :3

I’ve also been automatically nominated for the Newgrounds tank awards by winning monthly first there, so lots of things to win in the future!

EDIT: Hey, they have Azurefish in the webtoy ...
