XenoPod Notes 02/13/09

Posted by CrippledPig - February 13th, 2009


Great News, so far I have completed some new character designs, and had just recently picked up a $400 Wacom tablet for $210 (Circuit City close-out...). This is good, because this will help me complete XenoPod AoC much faster, especially since I decided to draw all characters, NPCs, and other interactive objects in Flash (PhotoShop takes too much time and effort). So with all that said, it should not be too hard to complete sets of animation for monsters, characters, etc. Although I still need to get used to drawing on the tabet :/

Anyway, I had just finished adding animations to 1 of the 2 playables (May not be the end), and I had begun to draw new background art (That happens to look 2 times better then the previous). I'm seriously getting excited to finish this project now, since I can actually see it happen now. Let alone I want to get back to work on Horror Scape "The adventures of Marty", because it has everything it needs to be complete... still just happen to be debating over a 2 player hack-n-slash, or a strait forward platformer (Just like the last, but with all Flash drawn art and far better code). Eitherway, it will turn out good.

I finally decided to get myself a monitor for my desk-top again, because a 1080p 60" tv can only take you so far on resolution... for real... I was all excited to use the tablet with photoshop and flash, that is until I found out that Vista absolutely hates Flash MX 2004. Lame.... :(

In all... things are going fairly well for the game, and I will eventually post it as a demo (Because I know that New Grounds will not support what it will take in a Full version). So far I have already reached roughly around 2mb, but that is with the png files that I will soon be deleting (character animations). To keep things at a low cost of space, I "might" change the tiles and BG to flash as well... but we'll see. For all I know, it may still be better to use tiles.

Thanks for keeping up with my project everyone. Once I complete all the animations, I will get back to level design and coding.

Tony
