ECLIPSc70

UPDATE: Shows off alot of whats in the game. Biggest problem is the collision detection which i'm having quite a bit of trouble with(if anyone wants to help me out in GM8 let me know^_^.) The current level art is just a place holder. Constructive feedback would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys.

Looks muuuch better, I like it and you found a name for it haha awesome!

Thanks for the help guys...-__-' Anyways, Just throwing this out there. I borrowed the stars from stardust speedway but everything else is custom made. Let me know what you think of the art direction. EDIT: Added alittle grass for a comparison:

Ok unfortunatly I cant seem to take a picture of my game on this laptop but I have a question for anyone willing to answer: In my game, the main character is able to shoot sound waves; I have this function mapped to the left mouse button so where ever the mouse may be, when you click a sound wave appears. Now recently I've been testing my game and I find that tis may become uncomfortable to some having to use the mouse. Should I make it so instead of using the mouse, if you press a button, a sound wave comes out of the player(similar to a bullet) and goes straight? or should I leave it the way it is? (I do have a video of it in the game topic "JAM"...)

Leave it as 1 colum of pixels like the sonic 3 sprite. Delete the last 2 pixel on the left of the puple.

I think thats kind of what he was going for. Sonics head was always huge back in the day.

for originallity I like model C with eye pair B

I've been using GM for the longest(8). I just recently began using Unity though. Its pretty easy... But time consuming to use.

Mind if I suggest some slopes or other strange gimmicks for the level editor? It could add more depth to the gameplay and it seems like this is a 3D game so its possible.

Thats pretty awesome! I loved Blue Spheres...although it made me through my controller across the room at times, its a pretty interesting little game. What type of stuff are you planning for the level editor to have?

So I'm pressing alt+prntscrn and nothing is happening... Am I supposed to have a special program open already or something?

Yup, I'm surprised facebook or any other social sites like that hasnt done the same. So all we need to worry about not is this..."PIPA" bill thingy?

I agree and disagree. Game design is a form of art and there are some people who do it just to pass the time. I'd rather an app like that not be made mainly because I feel that game maker (and other programs such as mmf2, unity and the likes) is a bit too complex.

EJ The DJ: MC K.I.N.G: Just some art of the main protagonist and antagonist respectivly. The red and black color scheme on The King are to represent the fact that he uses playing cards(which explains the "K" on his chest).

I think that little trait us humans have is our greatest strength and our greatest downfall. I mean yeah it would be cool to see how we were made but at the risk of our galaxy? I'd rather not go through with it, some things are better left uknown in my opinion.

To be honest Streak, I dont blame you. Us humans have been doing some pretty screwed up stuff to the earth and I wouldnt be surprised if all that stuff is coming back to bite us but to be completly realistic, theres not much we(you and me) can do...WE(human race) can still attemp to reverse this but alot of people in the world are either close minded or just pessimistic. SIDENOTE: Why the hell did they make that black hole machine anyway?

Is something like this what your looking for? EDIT: Looking at it now I think I saw this edit somewere else before... it wasnt BTS though, cant quite put my finger on it.

I dont quite understand what your asking for, are you talking about something like in Lakeferds Sonic BTS?

So you compromised between 2 of the designs? It looks great and I like the way you described how the flower/box/thing works, very nice. Offtopic: I doubt that bill will be passed. It limits all forms of art too much and seems way to ludicrus to be passed.

Awesome! thanks Damizean

I'm not too sure on which style looks more presentable: A- Black boarder and darker tone, B- Black boarder and darker darks/lighter lights for the more cel-shaded look, or C- No border and a solid scale of color.

I'm in need of major assistance. I recently converted from GM to Unity and everything is pretty different. I learned the basics the other day but I'm trying to make it so that at the press of a button I can toggle the solidity and visibility of an object. Help would be greatly appreciated.

(Dont want to seem like I'm back seat developing) If you want to use flowers, why not make them purple lilac pedals? For the HUD, you could design it like a stylized flower... Have the pedals at the top left corner then have the stem coming out of it to represent the charge meter. You could make it so the player wouldnt notice it at first glance but after the first pedal falls from the player taking damage, they look up and go "Oooohh haha thats pretty cool". Doing this will allow you to place the timer either underneath or above the flower and the HUD wont get clogged ^__^b.

Any reason behind you choosing flower pedals?

I'm pretty good with PS and art in general... I dont mind helping out.
