I need to republish the armour and weapons lists. I cleaned things up and redid a few things. WIll work on that when I can, hopefully this afternoon. I am in economics right now.

by **Famoosh** Wed 26 Jan - 13:23:01

I can get to work on some of the armor as well. I don't know how well it will turn out in 32x32, but I can check.

All right! I got some very basic layout of some armor for you. I don't know if we'll be doing Roger's maplestory idea, but if not, we need something to fall back on. Here is a basic, I REPEAT BASIC, Bronze platebody. The next post will be double posted (sorry) and it will show some basic bronze leggings.

Again, sorry for double posting, but I want to attach the file, not just host it. So here it is, the BASIC bronze leggings. I want your honest opinion so I can make it better, so please, feel free to harass me over my horrible pixel art skills lol. Note: I used the same colours for both things, and I plan on doing it for all of the armor (if needed) so also critique the colours.

they look good famoosh, i would just say border the shoulders on the platebody. like put the black line around it.

by **Famoosh** Wed 26 Jan - 22:09:31

Yeah, I originally had it like that, but then I took it off. Don't know why lol.

by **Alfreredocsil** Wed 26 Jan - 22:10:35

Hey hey, looks good. maybe we can do this thing afterall. The animation is going to be the killer though.

by **Famoosh** Wed 26 Jan - 22:14:43

Oooh yeah, almost forgot about the animation lol. That will suck. I'm sure we can do it, it'll just take a hugely long time.

by **Rogers** Wed 26 Jan - 22:15:31

you know it. and yea, especially if you want to have him walking, that will require several different images for every single armour...

by **Alfreredocsil** Wed 26 Jan - 22:16:53

Exactly! It's a daunting prospect for sure.

by **MINDROP** Wed 26 Jan - 22:45:46

Thankfully, all Famoosh will have to do is change color now (and it looks great!).

So, yes, each one will have to be animaited, but it wont be a problem making other types. Which are here:

by **Famoosh** Wed 26 Jan - 23:00:46

Yup, Ill use the same outline, just change colours. it'll be easy, but the animation really worries me. I'm going to be busy starting in March, because I have HUGE finals, Im pressured from my parents to get at least 95% on every subject, so I might not have lots of time to do it. It'll have to be a team effort.

by **FreestyleSkier** Fri 28 Jan - 2:09:32

thankfully u hav all of us to help. i can use gimp to make epic designs on 1 armor!

by **FreestyleSkier** Fri 28 Jan - 19:43:24

While Working with armors I'm discovering a large problem... Armor is never square... And Therefore my armors are comings out blurry (I make them big and shrink as I can do cooler stuff)... And they are like 32x19 in pixel size... This sucks...

@Fam,
Don't worry you have us to help. And I was the one who originally signed up for the armours so it's all good!

by **Alfreredocsil** Fri 28 Jan - 21:07:35

@Freestyle, you mean your upset because they aren't exactly 32x32 pixels? Because if thats what you meant....thats okay, they just have to fit within the 32x32 designation. They can't be any larger than that but smaller is okay.

by **MINDROP** Fri 28 Jan - 22:27:15

Make it on a 32x32 palate, but if it is not that wide, extra space is no problem.

by **FreestyleSkier** Sat 29 Jan - 13:59:22

No I'm just realizing more and more how small 32x32 is... Its difficult to make a good looking sword/armor at that size... Sad

The Joker

by **MINDROP** Sat 29 Jan - 14:26:16

Yes, definitely.

by **Durz** Sat 29 Jan - 18:35:44

Well it has to lack details for sure. With bigger you could add designs and get more complex

by **MINDROP** Sat 29 Jan - 19:06:10

But, the more complex, the bigger server you need and the bigger processor and all you will need.

by **FreestyleSkier** Sat 29 Jan - 19:52:12

Ahh, but the more fun the game would become! xD

Anyways... Off to work on my pixel art... I will post all the images I have soon....

Sweet, but I know I have given you a list of what we need to launch, once that is done, we can make the extras.

by **FreestyleSkier** Sat 29 Jan - 20:14:41

Ya I know the list... Imma make all the stuff I can think of for fun then I'll add whats left on the list (don't worry)!

Maybe we could have Span code in a "build your character" screen or something?
Maybe the gameplay screens would lack considerable detail but you could at least see how cool your character looks in a larger view.
