Your right Eggie.
I was trying to make it look like she was looking back at someone while she was walking, but I guess it didn't work, lol.

I think you're right on, Eggie. Try to aim for a little more of that in your characters.

I just got this new animation done and I am impressed. My guy is pretty small but the animation is great. The only problem is that I don't have the images cause I on my friends comp but I got the demo game up last week(I just noticed).

I will have it up soon so be patient plaese even though I probrobly won't get much demand off of this piece of crap.

EDIT: Here it is...

Tell me if ya like the new animation.

Hmm... I sense he has an attitude problem... I like the animation for some reason. I REALLY like it for some reason. Must be the walkspeed and sprites that do the work...

What's that supposed to mean?

Haddas · Sat 13/03/2004 17:54:13

That I like how the walkspeed fits in with the walk animation

It's a shame that there's already a game called Fuck Quest.

R4L · Sun 14/03/2004 02:47:09

Rap4LIfe,

no offence but i find your posts extremely annoying, your constantly using uneeded text effects, you always post bmp's even though its against the forum rules and to view your last animation you had to download a file? whats up with that.

Im not flaming you, im just trying to help you get a bit more positive feedback. Im sure im not the only forum member who finds this annoying, and it really isnt that hard to fix. Go download a freeware animation program.

Well, I guess I am sorry for using text effects and bmps but that file, you didn't have to download it. It was there because I could not get the regular images up. I wasn't even at my place to do so, and I stated that. And if you think I am so annoying then don't go in in my threads. Then you won't have to worry about it.
I was just looking for someone's advice, yours is ok. I understand you are trying to help me get more positive feedback, but I ain't exactly the ags genius or know it all of the internet. Give me a break. And as far as freeware programs go, I have a few that I use. I use Graphic's Gale for the animation in the short little demo. All I am saying is that you didn't have to do anything in this thread. You didn't have to download shit.

Stated it right there.

R4L · Mon 15/03/2004 00:01:31

There it is, without you having to download something

I don't see anything wrong with it, so maybe you can. Can anyone tell me what the hell is wrong with this?

MrColossal · Mon 15/03/2004 01:23:38

I really like the animation. He has a lot of bounce.

My only worry is that he'll be running from place to place and if he's just hanging out in his bedroom that may look a little weird.

other than that, see how the pink background changes size? that's what you want to avoid, put the guy in a box big enough to take all of his animation at once.

that and his foot comes down and it goes down a few pixels and then comes back up again shifting his whole body. that gives the impression that he isn't running on the same plane and is kind of jumping around

also his arms kind of meld with his body, there's no line to tell us when his arm is in front of his body or behind

in my edit i repositioned him and drew some quick arms in

R4L · Mon 15/03/2004 01:40:54

Thanks Colossal, yeah I kinda messed up with the arms.

that and his foot comes down and it goes down a few pixels and then comes back up again shifting his whole body. that gives the impression that he isn't running on the same plane and is kind of jumping around

Is that good?

Can I have them image files? That is pretty nice.

Gfunkera · Thu 18/03/2004 21:37:15

Is this what ya wanted??? Oh and post all the bmp you want I don't care post 3 or 4 meg image files I still don't care lol I got broadband do what ya' will... I notice theres a lot of whinners around here. Rules are meant to be broken!! :o

Think anyone can help me fix the side view for this character, he's originally from insta game just modified for me but I can't seem to get the side view to look good, I may have screwed up on the walkin frames too??? Anyways check it out, and maybe help me out if ya' can....

<edit> shiat after I made this gif I realized its cutting off some off his movments..... damn it....

Comin' Off The Streets

This is a game I started recently actually about a week ago but I got a demo ready, I got my full version going preety good, and I have had alot of free time now that school hasn't been giving us any homework for a while.
My game is about a boy named Bubba Young. He lives with his mother who is unemployed and lives off of her unemployment money. She can barely keep food on the table. She undergoes lots of stress and eventually starts to beat her children. It was only when they got the eviction notice that Bubba starts to keep a journal. He decides that he is only making his mother suffer and even though he loves her, he decides to run away to find a better life for himself.

The game takes off there. You start out by his house where he says goodbye to the town he grew up in. He walks out of town and never looks back. It is very dark and Bubba notices a barn down the road. He walks to it, and sneaks in. He sleeps in the hay. When he wakes up, he thinks its still early. He writes an entry in his journal, and then takes some stuff from the barn that he thnk he will need. He then thinks of an idea. He will go to the city and live in a foster home. The city ain't to far away. It starts to get dark out and Bubba has to rest from walking. Meanwhile, a car is speeding down the road. The lady has been drinking, and she drifts away. She catches herself and looks back up. She screams and jerks the wheel to the right. Her car slams into Bubba, and he lies silently on the ground...

Thats all that is known for the final version. I am at my friends so no screenshots or a demo will be up anytime soon. I have been practicing the script and I now know how to use the AGS Flashlight plugin. But, I can't get the credits to work. I am trying to make it so you can do anything for people with curiosity, like, if you think he is hungry, go get a burger. If you think the newspaper on the ground might have something interesting in it, pick it up and read it. The game has indoor music and outdoor music. If your outside, the wind will blow or it will be calm. At night, owls hoot in the background. I am looking for a sound that has a footprint for outside and indoors but I haven't had any luck. I think this project is going well.

If you have any questions or comments or anything, post it here or e~mail me at Xpac3491@aol.com

P.S. I gave my neighbor the right to finish Torn Souls. He now owns it and is trying to figure out how to use the script. lol.

EDIT: OOPS! I just noticed. Wrong Forum!
