Title: I want your sprites!
Post by: aldo_14 on February 02, 2005, 06:26:08 pm

I'm working on a little project~ while I'm down south (as I don't have max or photoshop down 'ere), a java r-type-esque game*.

 And i'm appealing for any simple small sprites (such as  the example below) you care to make for the player ship, enemies or weapons fire, just for the hell of it :); GIF, simply to use the transparency+.  Of course, I only have paint, so I can;t do anything complex like actually have transparent gifs.... (grr)

Cheers.

*actualy, i'm hoping to make a functionally decomposed framework, so I can replace the Java2D graphics code with openGL or even port it piece by piece into C++ as a learning project.... that and design it so it's very easy to add to, or even change from a side scroller to an overhead one.

+there are TGA loader libraries available, but I don't think I really need them

~don't expect it any time soon, though.... i'm working on it 3 nights a week and have only got as far as some crude weapons firing, controls, collision detection and minor stuff; nothing approaching a proper optimised or pretty game

You could always knock up some 3d models and render yourself some sprites.

You know, if you're willing to make this a FS project, I'd get you all the FS sprites you wanted :D

As soon as he makes it a FreeSpace project, he'll be swamped by people complaining that things are wrong and need to be changed. :p

Doesn't look right, natch.  Especially at 256-colours.
