New Cop Char for C&C

timh_009 · Thu 29/01/2004 11:58:26

This is my new detective-style character for a game project which is a spoof of Max Payne with hints of Starsky and Hutch. Sort of a comedy detective thing. I might even make a few references to Pleurghberg.

Well here he is: Clean shaven and bearded

So what are your thoughts edits whatever. Do you like the bearded or shaven version?

My boy-scout, good deed for the day:

(Exactly what he posted; converted to gif and uploaded to my server.)

I like the non-bearded version myself.

If you used that same head and put him in a work-out blazer and jeans (with cowboy boots) he'd be Nice Guy Eddie from Resevoir Dogs perfectly!

(don't know if you're still working on that or not!)

That's funny; it's a two for one. I prefer the non-bearded version with some less pointed sideburns.

Looks good. Im looking forward to your game too.

Thanks Penguinx

is it just Geocities or the jpg's or what that makes it so slow?

looks good Darth, I want to put the "Dogs" game aside for a bit. I realized that the story would be hard to do and i just downloaded AGS for the first time a few weeks ago so creating complex scripts and stuff doesn't seem like a good thing to do yet.

But I'll keep working on it, once I get a few games under my belt.

Ok here he is with some updated sideburns (less pointy)

and a walkcycle.

any comments suggestions edits? the walkcycle doesn't look quite right does anyone know how to make it smooth?

EDIT: the grey dots that appear on him aren't in the individual frames. Must be the gif file.

CorCAD · Sat 31/01/2004 05:34:22

Looks pretty good. Seeing him walk makes me think he should have a mustache, not really the full beard like your first few posts. Just a mustache. I think that'll give him a Magnum PI look... He was cool

ScottDoom · Sat 31/01/2004 05:34:23

Hahaha. That's a really funny walk cycle. It has a lot of character to it though, in my opinion.

I think you should reduce the back and forth bob (and if there isn't one, it sure does look like there is). Only use a up and down bob.

LordHart · Sat 31/01/2004 05:52:37

Yeah, a Magnum PI mustache would do wonders for him, and what better way to have a reference to Starsky & Hutch then having a 70's style mustache...

But anyway, the bearded one looked like Riker from Star Trek, but with ordinary clothes...

timh_009 · Sat 31/01/2004 05:57:57

ok I updated the walkcycle. and tried a moustache. here they are

with the mo

and the walkcycle with the mo

[Cameron] · Sat 31/01/2004 05:58:31

Good ol' Starkers and Touch.

strazer · Sat 31/01/2004 06:20:14

Is it just me or does http://invis.free.anonymizer.com/ take forever to respond?

[Cameron] · Sat 31/01/2004 06:40:28

timh_009: ya need mo' mo 8). Make it bigger.
strazer: Where is your avatar from.

strazer · Sat 31/01/2004 06:53:25

Quoteya need mo' mo . Make it bigger.

I second that.

QuoteWhere is your avatar from.

It's the main character from my game I hope to finish one day. Not much progress yet.

timh_009 · Sat 31/01/2004 10:20:14

I saved over the files. He should have abigger mo in the pic above and now his hair bounces a bit when he walks.

Check out this site http://starskyandhutchmovie.warnerbros.com/
click on photo gallery and its the 2nd pic i think. It has Ben Stiller with a huge fake mo that looks hilarious. Thats the look I'm definetaly going for.

EDIT: AlecW did you make up the name Starkers and Touch? because that would be a great name for the game that I am making.

timh_009 · Sun 01/02/2004 01:05:13

I made the 2nd character for the game. He is the main guys partner and you get to play both of them equally in the game.

thats him.

and the original

and the walkcycle

I uploaded the pics to my angelfire site so I don't need to use the invis anonymizer thing. I was thinking of calling them Starkers and Touch what do you think?

also any comments/suggestions/edits on the new guy?

[Cameron] · Sun 01/02/2004 01:21:09

I got Starkers and touch from a magazine where they had a chick from coventry to advertise the game.
They said she reminded them more of starkers and touch. Ther is no ownership of the name so you can have it.

Ytterbium · Sun 01/02/2004 02:38:38

Very well done. I'll be looking forward to the game.

timh_009 · Sun 01/02/2004 11:23:56

well here is the title pic. What do you think?

Should i move this to the games in production forum? I don't know since I actually haven't started the game yet

EDIT: well I read the games in production forum rules and I'm not ready for there yet. not at all.
