[Basic setting and idea for my game]

Ok I want some criticism and an answer to a question please.

Basic setting and idea for my game
Set in a small town full of people with superpowers. Basically I am sick of all the superhero films and tv shows that the fact they always get "useful" powers, such as super strength, flight etc. So all my characters will have special and "useless" powers. The main plot would be around these powers and how they can affect others.

Question
What do you think of having characters in the rayman style, ie no arms, legs or neck. I thought it would be an interesting way to show off my character's abilities, but I find it a nightmare to get it look right. Basically I would like a response to, "Should I continue with this style or not?"

Character for Crit
This character will be the playable character. He is called Mime Man and his power is to create invisible walls that disappear(ignore the pun) over time.


And these are the walkcycles that are driving me crazy:




I started with the side view then tried to line up the side view with the front view(foot position etc), but It hasn't worked or I have put the frames in the wrong order somehow . Ie help! Also I know the speed on the front view is faster than the side, I just noticed that when I uploaded them, but I'll fix that in the next edit.
I tried to keep the style as clean as possible, so any paint overs please keep that in mind.


In conclusion, Should I stay with this style? What have I done wrong with my walkcyle? and Do you like the idea of this kind of game?

Any crit is welcome 

Just a quick kind of question, I hope this is in the right place to post.

Its just a little thing that is annoying me at the moment is that time on the forum is about 8 minutes ahead from my local time. I have tried to changed this but you can only edit the time by hours, so I worked out that it would need to be -0.75 hours(I think thats right). Anyway I tried this and it just read it as 0 hours, meaning no change in time.

I'm just wondering if I something not set right or if anyone else has been having the same problem.

Hey not posted something on here to be crit in a long time (I think its been about a year :o) Ive just been recently trying to improve myself and Iv always had the same problem with my sprites that they don't have enough contrast or the right shading. So Iv been working on different little things and this is the first one I'm pretty happy about.



Just want some feed back on the shading/colouring really but if you have anything to say about shape or whatever it is welcome. I'm actually thinking of using this guy for a possible game in the future.

Just been practicing my backgrounds. Been having trouble with circles like on the hob and the clock, also the kitchen it looks bare. I cant think what there should be in a kitchen like this. Also I need help on light coming through the windows I just don't know how to make it look bright. (By the clock) It should be midday but I think it looks more like midday when its -10 outside. Any help suggestions welcome also you can paint over it

Im just trying to find a game I played when I was young. I actually never owned the game as it was my friend's. The main character was a witch or learning to become one and one of the first puzzles was to get this guy to sail you across either a river or sea to an island. It was all woodland and you could go to her cottage. I cant remember anything more as me and my friend found quite hard and ending up never completing it. Im just wondering if this sounded famliar to anyone

Heres some robots for crit. Might put them in my game which has been on hold for the last 6months. Paint overs welcome.

Three generations of robot the 1st one is a hologram robot. It shows holograms out of its head. The 2nd one is a cleaning robot. And the 3rd one is used in security. Any ideas welcome to improve them in thier roles welcome 

I've just had a talk on stress and we had to fall asleep while he talked to us. I think we got hypnotized as Ive never kind of dreamt like that before and he said that we were sleeping for 25mins when it felt like 2. And also i havent stopped simling since and been in a happier mood. Just wondering if you have been hypnotized before? And if this is normal after someone has been hypnotized?

This was going to be my entry for the one room one week comp but I forgot about finishing it till 10mins ago lol
AIM: to find things you need to play pool which are hidden somewhere in the room , as some kids have hid them :o.

Today is red nose day, so what have people have done for it?

Since I dropped out from ATC Ive been working on a new game (1st) after a few projects I think I will finally finish this one. The game is about discovery and why one person's life could be responsible for life in our universe. Since I'm christain (not a big one, but I respect God and such) I question how someone could understand the story of creation back when the bible was writen. Anyway enough of the story, heres a bg of a house the guy finds.


Its unfinshed but it gives the general idea. It is meant to give the atmosphere of a kind of dark but mysteryous(sp) light as such, but I don't know If Ive done that. Please crit, paint overs welcome.

I saw this film one night cople of years ago and I really want to know what it is. The plot: The main guy is a bodyguard of this game designer. And the game cosole is some skin coloured thing that you plugin on your back to play. And theres some gun made out of bones and teeth. And They both end up in a game and having to complete it or they will die or something. It is very muddled but along those lines. I know someone knows wat it is

Ive been playin around to see if I can improve in my pixel art. Heres some pics Ive drawn. I just want some crit to see if ive improved and to find areas where I improve.
I made this bg for MAGS but since I signed up for atc ive been busy wasnt able to finish the game.

A bit of fun.

A lion for the MAGS game



ps the word of today is improve
