Happy Birthday, Tzachs! Also from Bernhard.

I was intrigued with this game since you told me about it in Italy. Now that it also involves sheep I'm really looking forward to it!

Congrats on releasing it! I really enjoyed testing this game.

[Creating Characters with Personality]

As Misj' did again make me order an art book, I thought it would be nice to have a list of art books and opinions about them. Please make sure to add either a link to a shop or the ISBN so we can find it. Also, please just don't list all the books you have but tell us what you like or dislike about the book.

I'll start with two books:

Creating Characters with Personality by Tom Bancroft
ISBN-13: 978-0823023493
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creating-Characters-Personality-Animation-Graphic/dp/0823023494

This book is fantastic, because it does not only focus on drawing, but it helps to give your characters different personalities and looks. There is a project that spans the whole book so you can see the different steps of character creation. I found it very helpful when working on my current game.

The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard E. Williams
ISBN-13: 978-0571202287 (this seems to be a newer version than I have)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Animators-Survival-Richard-Williams/dp/0571238343

The bible for animation. This book starts with the history of animation, gives great insight about the background and production of animation and is full of drawings and examples. There is a huge section about walkcycles and it also teaches basics like timing and tweening, choosing keyframes, etc... The only drawback is that there is hardly anything about front and back walkcycles.

Time to wrap things up!

Kastchey: 1 vote - you get the bronze maracas
Tabata: 3 votes - a silver accordion for you
Big GC: 4 votes - for the winner I have a golden ukulele!


Thanks for participating!

Let the voting begin!

Happy birthday, Francesco and Davy!

Awesome, so many great entries!

Do we know that we don't need it?

This is coloring ball, and for a nice ball we need some music. This time I want to see some kind of music instrument from you!

Now with trophies:


Have fun!

Thanks! I'll start a new one soon.

So, what about the lost info on the RON-Page? There are a lot of games missing. Will it be restored? Or is RON now officially considered dead?

I like the general pose, but the coloring of the body looks noisy. I prefer the clear style you used for her hair. Also, the shading is off in her chest area.

[Kastchey]

I'm voting for Kastchey.

 Thanks! 

The thing is, this list does not include screenshots, while the old one did. It was nice to look at the most recently added games and see immediately what the games look like.

When there are new messages in the pm list, there is a "new" icon, but it doesn't link anywhere, you have to click on the subject instead. This is inconsistent with the rest of the forum, where you can click "new" next to the thread title. Is it possible to extend the link to include the image? I always try to click it but it doesn't work 

You could give each level a name/id, let testers play the levels in random order and rate them for difficulty, and then sort the levels by average difficulty. It's not always the number of moves, sometimes it's how obvious the moves are.

Great you are working again on that, I did like the demo!

Maybe the woman feels better now and we can wake her up and get some information from her?
