Screenshot: My new platformer

[Kajenx]

Hey dudez! I'm really excited about this one, so I thought I'd spread it around (or get flamed). I haven't done any big FBF projects (Damn you addicting TWEENS!!) so I decided to focus on animation with this game. I'm planning to do a nice intro and outro animation too. Whee!!

[Dookiemaister]

wow! that looks great for a flash game! lots of detail and color, but can you put that much effort into the whole flash?

[Harukawa]

That look very pretty. I like it very much ^_^

[Havayosunu]

wow I loved it. Cute animal protagonist, blend of nature and civilizaton, especially FBF.. I hope it ll come out as I expected.

[Lochie]

Hmm.. looks like it could possibly get a frontpage.
If the gameplay and storyline works out with the game.
Awesome!
Graphics look swish too.

[tooters]

psh, definate front page. can't wait for it, i'll keep an eye here for updates =)

I hope so... 0_o

Thanks guys! I'll do some more updates as I go along. I don't want to give too much away before it comes out though.

I'm making one to!... that picture isnt completed, and I'm not using much fbf, but nevermind. You cant see much there, but its also covered in cell shading. (I recently stopped gradient shading- this is the last one youll see with any).

I think I wont use/ remake that one. Anyway, Kajenx's game is looking like it should be good.

I'm hoping to be done within a month or two, but my last platformer took me longer than expected. Then again, I'll be going home for Christmas and the only thing I'll have to do there is draw, sooo, it might get done pretty quickly.

@ EvilSirTing

That looks violent, lol! Interesting backgrounds, very organic.

[Fatchaos]

Keep up with that platformer, looks awesome, so far.

I would, however, be satisfied with a 'less-effort' background, but if you insist in really melting some eyes, feel free!

I will be watching the front pages when this comes out...

Now really, because all he's doing is posting screenshots, which is art in here(most of the time)
Anyways, this looks like it would turn out great!

[Felps]

Wow !! For A Flash game Its Perfect!
Its have details a lot man!
The Color is perfect!

Rate: 9/10 For This Image

[Kajenx]

Well, I decided to upgrade the graphics a bit. The vector method I was using didn't allow for the detail I wanted. Believe it or not, this method will probably take me less time in the long run.

[squidium]

I unno, I kinda like the vector one best, but the leaves in the ps'd one look great-maybe its the thunks that are distracting

[Dookiemaister]

yea the vectorized version looks better. im not sure about this, but i think that much quality will make it very slow to play.
that's a photoshoped background right? that means you cant lower the quality (the quality setting only works for the flash drawn things i believe)

I'd rather wait for somthing visualy beautiful (Your vector image), than somthing incredibly UN-detailed and crudly painted.

Please go back to vector for the sake of the game.

seconded, vector looks better
although making the main... mouse thing raster (high quality shading) it won't ruin the speed much, and would look cool.

but computers nowadays are meant to run this stuff!

anyone else remember motherLoad? that game was entirely bitmaps (i think)

[Kajenx]

Actually, the bitmap runs a lot faster than the vectors were, and I was using full optimization on them:
-I tiled the images
-I smoothed and optimised the graphics
-I cached as bitmap to allow for better scrolling

I hit a dead end there, I really couldn't figure out how to get more vectors in there, and it was only one area. If you add in paralax scrolling for depth, that three times as many things to take into account.

The vector look is nice, but I enjoyed painting the bitmap backgrounds and they move a lot smoother in game. I thought they would slow down the download speed, but they really don't...
