Opinion on Pixel Art for Game

[LinedPaper]

Here are some of the sprites for my next game:

.....Redoing sprites.....

I'm open to all thoughts and opinions.

[eilsoe]

a tad dark, but cool! :thumb:

[LinedPaper]

Thx! Next I'll draw the A2A Missiles.

[eilsoe]

it's gonna get biga$s guns riight? :beam:

[andr.in]

lol..

kewl!

[LinedPaper]

Lol... Hidden underneath the plane.

Yeah, i might revamp the ship with a bigger design.
Or I might make it so you upgrade to Xtreme power ship by getting power ups.

[eilsoe]

yeahh!! :P

BigA$S X-treme mega killa GUNS! :P:P

[Soul]

I like! Are you going to have awesome enemies? Like aliens and flying chickens and stuff? :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[LinedPaper]

Flying chickens? lol that'll be quite hard to draw. I'm going for a game where you fly with you're craft over sea and land.

The enemies will consist of boats, choppers, Land turrets and buildings, planes, maybe tanks, other items and of course, at the end a classic huuuuuge mothership! You get addons to you're ship to upgrade it bigger and classic weapons like which shoot horizontally!

Thx for the positive comments!

Ohhhh pretty. I like it. I love sprites sooo much. You did a great job :thumb:

[LinedPaper]

Yes, I can finally post again after changing my email.

[eilsoe]

lol, can we play the test game when it's done? :beam:

[nobody]

that's really cool. It looks fun

[morse]

Hum... Trouble telling 1st from 2nd player... but it looks awesome.

[kh3mical]

lol, i LOVE those games. like at the arcade!

[LinedPaper]

Ok all, here's the test game.
(Bear in mind it's only got the general aspect of the main game, it's actually nothing like it.)
Controls:
Arrow keys / move
Space / fire one
Enter / fire two

Good things happen after you get past 200 points. Be carful with bullet usage at beginning(using Enter can help).

[m.c.bell]

im likin it

[LinedPaper]

Thx!:)

[prstudio]

great looking game man!!!

i noticed some trouble with backing up tho...seemed to work if i pressed left and back, kind of did the arc back plane thing, but i just pressed back, it didnt do anything, and sometimes the left+back didn't always work well...

but you said there will be like ground bases and stuff like that?
awesome man, brings back memories

[mlk]

pretty good - but i hate the idea of having a minus score and the fact that you lose 2 points each time you fire. and why do the fireballs move weird (well, straight, but swerving?)

[awligon]

This reminds me of Pheonix for the ti-89 written in assembly.

[prstudio]

i think the second fire option is a heat seeker, it kinda wobbled and went at its target

[Sauce2k]

lined paper, you have inspired me to try and make one of those, but the funny thing is i never finish any of my projects. I start them, get bored or stuck, and then stop, but i will try my hardest to get one of these games goin before new years. Any tips on pixel art and drawings???

[LinedPaper]

Yes, I keep doing new projects as well. (By the way my test game is merely a test game with barely any of the attributes of the final game). I didnt do the sprites for the test game either, it was merely a practice game for me!

I can't really think of any tips for pixel art, I keep my space crafts symmetrical so the light would normally be above the pic.

I normally do the outline first in black.

[LinedPaper]

O yeah, sorry, ive changed my idea to a space atmosphere, not a earth one. There will still be turrets though.
