@Hobo: Wow! Nice setting. For some reason, it gives me the Metroid Prime vibes... almost.

@VampireWombat: Neat character... and Spriter Pro looks like a cool program!

My first walk animation using Spriter Pro.
Twitch the Chihuahua.

Is Twitch supposed to be walking or marching military style?

If it's normal walking you are going for you have the arms swinging in the wrong direction. They should be swinging opposite to the leg movement.

Nice looking character though!

Mandle: I think you have made a great start with Spriter. Maybe arms should be reversed, but so what

And last, but not least... using drawn flipped images..... Something that often evades me

That's actually VampireWombat's sprite. I just quoted it.

@DBoyWheeler Yeah, it's quite useful. I've had it for 2 or 3 years, but this is the first time I've actually done more than glance at it. After setting everything up, the actual animation took me maybe 5 minutes.

@Mandle Ah, thanks. Guess I didn't pay close enough to the video I followed or something. Luckily I only have to adjust 2 key frames.

Can't wait to see it! It will be much nicer on the eye I think because with the marching-style walk and the big eyes Twitch looks quite zombie-like and a bit terrifying at the moment...

Squaretrade has my laptop parts on backorder so I've been without a laptop until today. That means I probably won't get an entry in for this month. Very nice at the pre existing graphics rule change. I hope that rule continues.

Twitch with eyelids and updated walk cycle.
This is the last of animations for Twitch for awhile. I have to make animations for Massimo and two other characters today and tomorrow.

Those eyes... Looks like Twitch's been up all night, making a MAGS game

We're officially out of AdventureJam now and focusing fully on MAGS.

Twitch is looking good!

Sorry, but felt I had to edit this in for people still scrolling down who haven't read DBoy's latest post (below) yet and don't want to know how to win his game or see what happens at the end before even playing it:

Nah, that's just his natural state.

And shame you had to drop out. But now I wonder how long your game is going to be if you still need to put in all that work. I still haven't given up hope of finishing by tomorrow night and I've put in less work in total than you have in 2 days.

@ Mandle Thanks. I'm probably going to refine him more next week.

DBoyWheeler · « **Reply #111 on:** 18 May 2018, 01:17 »

Well, I've prepared the antagonist's sprites for my MAGS (and the "rat" for the theme).

It's a mutant rat-man who's messing up Prism's greenhouse:

Spoiler: Show

I forgot to name the animation at the bottom--those are the sprites of the rat man ravaging Prism's greenhouse.

(Spoiler below)

VampireWombat · « **Reply #112 on:** 18 May 2018, 12:22 »

There's something about the rat-man that makes me think of the main antagonist... sort of... from a movie I watched years ago.
But that guy didn't have a head, was maybe and alien, and had dynamite in his shorts...

@DBoyWheeler:

DUDE! Why on earth are you providing a walkthrough for how to win your game before it is even made and without even a spoiler alert?!

I now feel almost zero anticipation to play the game with even the ending animation revealed like that.

If anyone hasn't looked at the hidden section in DBoy's last post and/or read the text underneath it in plain sight then here is an attempt at a:

Tiny little bot I just whipped up that may or may not be in our MAGS game.

Other entries are looking great! Can't wait to play all the MAGS entries this month, I've been away far too long. Also Twitch is awesome hehe

Also here's a GIF showing a bit of my work process because what the heck.

VampireWombat · « **Reply #115 on:** 18 May 2018, 19:10 »

Looks like I'm definitely out for trying to finish a version of my game for the Jam.
But at least I have plenty of time to make the full MAGs version.

Here's Massimo's current walkcycle.

Blondbraid · « **Reply #116 on:** 18 May 2018, 21:03 »

I have been working on my entry together with Morganw and HandsFree about the black plague and the rats spreading the disease, and I'd thought I'd share a background for the game I've been working on:

I borrowed some motives from a famous medieval artist, can anyone guess which one?

I edited it. But then, no guarantee I might finish the game on time either, considering my flippin' random RL work schedule!

Mandle · « **Reply #118 on:** 19 May 2018, 17:55 »

Got a lot of work done today on my game but nothing to show in the form of screenshots just yet: Graphics are a bit rough still...

But, I got the combat system roughly coded and semi-working and got the graphics for the final boss working but only in a draft form...

Game Concept:

You are a rat coming up through the sewers after smelling something delicious left over by careless humans. You must battle the denizens of the sewer pipes, and further terrors, to reach your ultimate feast.

Yeah, the game is an RPG (Rat Player Game)

Slasher · « **Reply #119 on:** 20 May 2018, 11:31 »

Great ideas, guys

Hope you can all pull them off.

We could have a great MAG this month.
