Need Code monkey for platformer |
Quote |
I know this is probably a very strange request but I need someone who knows the ins and outs of something like gamemaker to collaborate with on making a good old fashioned 2D platformer.
For the most part, I want to handle the graphics side and leave all coding to the other party, I have been in the practice of creating and animating pixel art since the Amiga days, and have had a good deal of practice lately (see attached images). For a good idea of my range, check my thread in the fanart forum.
Any and all feedback in this regard is appreciated, and if I've gone and stuck this in the wrong forum, feel free to delete it.
Hugs - Sparkster.

Do you have any more ideas? Like, what kind of a platformer? Something like Super Mario or something like Cave Story? Story-driven or precision hell?

Well, I pretty much want to make a Mario clone, good old run, jump, head bopping style fun, although it would be nice to have things you'd expect in a modern game like ledge grabs and wall jumps. If I do add a story it'll most likely have it's tongue firmly in its cheek, and I want it to be pretty forgiving with regards to precision, as that's the one thing that usually makes older style platformers unfun.

You know I'd like to help but I'm afraid I will not meet up your expectations, time-wise and possibly skill-wise as well.

Hey, if you know how to code and assemble something like this then that's good enough for me, I have no doubt that doing something like this will be a learning process for me and that it will take a LOT of time to create the graphics (I went through and figured out how many animations the main character would need if it's not to be a pile of crap like Awesome possum or something, it's pretty frightening).
To reiterate, I know utterly nothing about using programs like gamemaker (or somthing better if you know it), I can make interactive menus in director, code html and understand basic scripting but assembling, even in something that basic is just completely foreign to me.

Well ok, I can try if you like.
So, can you give me some basic info?
What resolution do you want it to be? (intern)
Also, could I have a "test" level background and some sprites?

Well, it's certainly nice to have people on board.
As the artist, it's not really my place to choose the resolution, and one thing I do need to know is what format you'd want the sprites and graphics in. And what program you want me to use (currently using ASEsprite)

Well, to be honest I havn't made the sprites yet as I've yet to receive any specs for them.
Plus, what's a better program than ASEsprite, it kinda sucks that I can't edit the palette at all. Something with transparency options for adjacent frames ala Dpaint would be ideal.

Well, I managed to find a sprite editor I like, and have started work on a basic version of the main sprite, just a few frames to show it off here.
Opinions on this are, of course, welcome.

Well, this is what I have so far, so the complete engine isn't needed just yet, I'm going to do the inbetweens next and was wondering if it would be too much trouble for you to throw together a 'character in a box' demo to play with (after I do the inbetweens, obv), just so I can get a feel on whether the look is working.
I know I'm a pain in the ass, but I can assure you that this is a fuckton of work.
