He is starting to look a little like an astronaut (don't know if that's good or bad).  Also, I think if you show the bridge of his nose it will be a little more clear that his face is being covered.

Ok, I've taken all of your advice and I think I've reached a point where I'm ready to begin animating.Ã,  If you have any further advice just let me know.Ã,  Thanks a lot.

Hey everyone, thanks for all the help.

YakSpit: The textured room is part of the storyline for the game. Ã, The character believes he is awake but he is actually dreaming. Ã, I thought having a textured bg with a toonish character would add a little to the dream. Ã, 

It is going to be a single room game with the character "re-waking up" over and over in the background (different rooms ex. room1 and room2 etc. so the objects can have different interactions in each dream). Ã, 

Please feel free to critique the theme of the game and offer any ideas.

Edit: InCreator:  That is a huge improvement...although I might have to change the overall look of the character now because nobody wants to play a game as The Norris
Anyway thanks for the tips I'll apply them on my next try.

Randy

Wow...look at those eyes!Ã,  Thanks for pointing that out he looks like he ate plutonium.
You're right about the feet, too.Ã,  I'll try to make them suck less.

I would also like it if someone could help me with his hands.  I don't want them to be all the way open like he's slapping his legs and I don't want them to be in fists either.

Well, after my last post I'm hesitant to put this up.Ã,  I've decided to keep trying with AGS and I've just finished my first attempt at drawing a character.Ã,  I know some major improvements can be made but with my lack of drawing skills I'm pretty much stuck.Ã,  He is supposed to be barefoot wearing sweatpants and a wifebeater.Ã,  (he just got out of bed)

Edit:Ã,  There are also a couple of backgrounds there worth looking at.Ã,  Thanks.

Please let me know what I can do to make this better and feel free to edit it in any way so I can see visually what can be done.

Thanks, Randy

Edit:  I've made some changes using tips from YakSpit and InCreator.  I painted over the walk cycle like YakSpit said and I used most if not all of the tips from InCreator.

Did it help?

Strazer, I was just struggling with the same problem and your suggestion

"...just make sure that the object's baseline is below the walkbehind's baseline. "

worked great.  Thanks.

Ever heard of Idaho

Thanks YakSpit.  That was very reassuring.

I didn't realize I would cause this much fuss.  I'm sorry for any wasted time.  I have downloaded  Graphics Gale and The Gimp and I've found tuts for them.  I'll make sure I have something worth showing before I emberass myself again.  Thanks for all the feedback.

Randy

Wow!!! An uplifting reply.  Thanks for at least giving me some credit.  Like I said...it was for learning and fun for me.  It is possible to complete the game and use all of the objects.

I don't wand to argue, but I just "played" it and it is very possible to get past the screen with the alien. 

p.s.  sorry I waisted your time.

This is my first try with AGS. In fact it's my first game ever.Ã,  I've had no experience with script nor do I have any artistic tallent.Ã,  This game was for my own training and fun.Ã,  Please try it out and at least tell me if you think it's funny.
