Obviously I would use the pipe to kill brown, take all of his money and use it to buy a house in the 'burbs ...where I could sit on my porch enjoying the warm summer breeze as I sip my iced tea and read the art forum rules. Obviously.

ooh! I'm diggin' this thing! lol ...but which perspective are we going with? How would that work with top-down? or ...I dunno... I'm confused lol.

This is a community game. Just because someone is on a specific team (or not on one at all) doesn't mean they can't offer input/ideas for the other levels.

If you didn't save it, there's nothing to get back. Consider it a hard lesson learned... SAVE OFTEN!!!

Also, please read the Art Forum Rules.

I just saw bom's reply in another level thread:

You may also want to read the art forum rules.

This thread is a disgrace! Not only does it make the OP look bad, but the art portal and forum too.
I hope you get coal for xmas, monoflauta! for shame... FOR SHAME, I say!!!

woO!! That's great news!!!

Have we got a programmer on our team?

Everything you need to know is in the original discussion thread
Art Forum Game [Discussion]
BoMToons is programming the entire game... check page 12 for all of the specs on size, frame rate, backgrounds, bosses, etc. Any questions for the overall game should go in that thread... all level specific questions and concepts go in this thread.

Are we still missing anyone? or is our whole team present now?

lol, I felt the need to fix my comment... I'm tired and have to get up early... that's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it. Good night.

It would be greatly appreciated if could you create one 'showcase' thread for all of your stuff instead of one thread per image. Thank you.

AWESOME, I say!!!

Ohmi DaRulz

woO! Team surreal!!

I asked bomtoons if we could do something with the controls... like reverse them or something. He said we could, but thought that might be annoying for the player lol ...what do you guys think? Also... just because we're vertical doesn't mean it has to be top-down view, right?

We need to get the rest of the team in the loop!! Where is everyone?!?

You can use aim express, or if you have a gmail account, you can chat with aim contacts through that.

...the way you did when the people from bungie and blizzard had advice to give to you?! No... you respected them, so you listened. Odds are they said things in a CONSTRUCTIVE, HELPFUL, and RESPECTFUL manner. They didn't belittle and berate you and call it 'tough love'. Quit being a dick. You have it in your sig, so you obviously think people are impressed by it. No one is. You made your own thread showing what you can do... great. Now try offering advice, giving critiques, and being HELPFUL the way those REAL 'professional' were with you. If people respect you, they will be more inclined to give a shit about what you have to say. I don't care how talented a person is... if they're an asshole, I don't wanna hear their crap. Stop being an asshole.

Thats okay, renae is used to working on the last day for the doubles ; )

oops... I thought we had another whole week too. If it can be next Sun/Mon ...that would be lovely.

Those who can, do... those who can't, teach.

Based on your attitude and posting style ...you're gonna make a shitty teacher someday.

If your self-inflated ego wasn't so huge and getting in the way of reading, you'd know that I never commented on the op's work... good or bad... and I never said anything about myself... I'm not as arrogant as you are. I don't believe I'm all superior and know all there is to know about everything like you do. So get over yourself. If you want to help people, that's great. But you don't have to be such a colossal douche in the process.

LMFAO!! Who gives a rats ass if you're impressed or not. No one here needs to prove shit to you. You're a nobody and your opinion is worthless. Now shoo!! Run along little troll, run along.

...your attempt at 'tough love' is almost as laughable as your unwarranted arrogance... almost.

At 11/7/09 04:10 PM, kr8to wrote: well another way is to learn values, sure you can use the gradient tool, but are you really learning anything? no not really. Of course there different styles but i assume you want a realistic version and unless you learn values no tool is going to bring you to that level.

You can learn and study all you want, but if you can't put it to practical use, what good is it? People learn different things in different ways... and in my experience, the most effective is hands-on. Learn by doing. So, yeah... really... use the gradient tool.

yay!! :D

I'm assuming you're using flash, so ...become one with the gradient transform tool... once you know how to use it, you can manipulate and customize gradients to get all kinds of effects! I can help you out if you have aim or msn.

This is an old image done in flash using gradients and alpha's.

If you want the .fla file, let me know and I'll pm the link.

*points silently at*

Maybe once (or even before) level leaders are chosen, each team can make their own progress thread and leave this main thread for 'global' updates. Otherwise it's going to get way too confusing.

Plus that way it will be easier to keep track of individual level progress. If any particular level's thread dies or isn't seeing as much activity as it should, Kraig will know that he needs to kick some asses, or inject some life into it by recruiting new people to keep it rolling.

...just a thought :P

name them consistently:
[shump] Steampunk Level
[shump] Surreal Level
etc.

hmm... that's unfortunate. I was under the impression that you were ok with everything. Just because we didn't love your menu doesn't mean that you don't have any say or aren't a part of the decision making process. We just want this to be the best it can. So, if you're unhappy with something, you have to let us know so we can work it out... or reach some sort of compromise. What can we do to make it better? ...and you not bitter?

Ha, that's pretty fun. I bet if you planned it out and got your settings just right, you could make some really interesting stuff.

Can you stop spamming peoples threads with your canned insults and useless drivel?! It's obvious that you're just looking to start arguments... so take somewhere else 'cuz personally, I'm tired of it.
