There are simply no free .com referrers. Not without some sucky URL like Hotspot pointed out. Dot.tk is about the only referrer that actually gives you the domainname you want for free. But their ads ruin it nowadays.

Looks really good. Like the sketchy style. I have a tablet myself but I rarely use it.

Mafia? Sweet! Hope to see more info pop up soon...

Good mods, the curtains look good and the reflection is ok. I like it. Keep it up.

There's a much easier way: Dr. Brown's Image Processor. That is, if you have PS CS. And in PS CS2 it's standard issue. You open the file browser, check the pics you want to resize, set the options and there you go. Works like a charm. Be sure to check out the online demo. It's funny.

Get it here(scroll down)

Well, I didnt expect this level of liking for my paintover. Thanks, I guess.

Good to see you improving the BG. We're getting somewhere now.

Concerning stuff:
-When the lamp is on, everything glows. The center of the lamp should be the brightest, not the edges.
-Curtains generally wobble strictly in the Z-dimension, so to speak, never the X or the Y, unless there's wind or something.
-Reflections tend to span the entire window, or fade. They dont end abruptly.
-And the stuff the others said.

I like the mood in this scene. Any info on the game you're gonna be using it in?

Quick n dirty edit:

If the plant were in good health it's leaves would point upward.
Shading on all objects. Look at the trajectory of the light.

Thanks for the suggestions, the eye thing is a really good idea. I'll work up a few more ideas in the next few days...

[EDIT] Here's something I threw together a few minutes ago.

Right direction?

This is a known problem I think among dvd rips and such. I've heard of it before. Heck I've even had it once. There's a tut here detailling how to fix it with regular video files. It's in Dutch though.

In this case however, try ripping the WAV audio from the video under 'Streams > Stream List > Save Wav' in VirtualDub and play that instead of the track you have.

Thanks. So far Verdana Bold is working quite nicely for me, but I'll see if i can find other, cooler fonts.

TMC has been quiet for a while, and I apologise, but I have been extremely busy. Still am, but the schoolyear is over in a month, so I expect to get back to work on TMC by that time. I've got some great ideas, so stick around...

Yes I've been looking into that but I can't find any good fonts. I've tried several fonts out of my own library, but without a proper outline font to go with it I find it too hard to read. And i messes up in the menu's. So if anyone has a good suggestion, I'm all ears...

I'm probably not gonna go with the Predator, so this is just a quick layout idea I thought up just now. And abviously the logo will be smaller once it's done, this is just to see it clearly and detailed.

I'll keep working on it.

Thanks for the tips! Here's a quick brainstorm



Haven't been able to find a good replacement for the Predator yet. Since I want to make a deluxe version of my game available for a small fee, taking the Predator as mascotte indeed isn't exactly smart.

I've been trying to come up with a logo for my development 'company' Predator Productions for quite some time now. Strangely enough, inspiration struck me when I was testing out my new flashlight. How you ask? Let me enlighten you...

Yes I know, that was a very bad pun. :

On the shelf above my computer I have a Boba Fett statue. I shone my flashlight in his general direction, and the silhouette on the wall combined with the light looked pretty cool. Since the company name is based off my nickname, which is based off the infamous Predator, instead of Boba I wanted a Predator silhouette. A quick Google search turned up a great pose on an action figure, which evolved into this silhouette:



Maybe it could be a little more simplified. What do you think?

If you are going to rip screens, at least edit them; rearrange, add or remove things, make it your own. And you can make a Star Wars crawler just like in the movies, so you wont have to use that crappy combined screen. There's a thread around the technical archive somewhere, but I'm too lazy to search for it.

And if I may be nitpicky, Lucasfilms works on movies, Lucasarts works on games. If they made a game like this, they would use the Lucasarts logo. But they're not making it, you're making it, so it would be better(not to mention smarter) to use a logo of your own.

My jaw literally fell open when I saw this sprite. Amazing work!

My God, that looks absolutely amazing! :o

Since I don't know much about 3D modelling I can't really crit this, but to me, the nose sort of reminds me of a pig. And maybe the neck should be a little broader, mainly at the back.

The model looks really good, can't imagine how cool it will be when it's all done and textured.

Oh three cores. I thought 3 processors. Doh!

[EDIT] Well that presentation sucked ass. It just aired here, and it totally made no sense. It has no right to be called a presentation. I already read all that marketing bullshit this afternoon, and I sure wasn't in it for the music.

I saw a black cat lurking around in the grass outside my school, but so far nothing bad has happened. Maybe because I forgot it was the 13th today. Shit, I'm fucked now, thank you very much...

There's some scrollwheel thingy on the controller so that's probably what the '360' refers to.
As for the design: who cares? The thing has a 9 Ghz processor!! 3x 3.2 Ghz and 512 Mb ram. And Xbox Live will become free too.

Awesome character you got there. I'm not an expert on this sort of sprite art, so I can't give you very much pointers. I'd define the shading on the skin a bit more though. Pants look good, shirt does indeed need some work.
