After I made some music for Necroquest, I tryed to post it. But I coudn't find a hosting service, that doesn't delete my MIDIs some weeks later (I have to login weekly to keep them  )
So I made a short demo video, with the first music theme. I hope it stays online.

Here is it: Necroquest demo video (please PM me if it doesn't work)

Also made:
- one more music theme
- another background is about to be ready
- more story + puzzles
- dreaming how cool it will be after I end the game...  :

1. he's a born 'Berliner'

Why does he speaks "Isch" instead of "Icke"? 

3.yeah, youre right, thats my problem with it and why i posted it here.
I got another band, i already linked a track in the last tune competition, wich is more interesting (i think), but very new.
http://www.mediafire.com/?f0bymeywbdz
Now i don't know on wich band to concentrate.
In few weeks (hope so) there will be a link on myspace to download the full album (for free)

They are to different to compare. This one has no song at all.
I would like to hear your album (feel free to send me the link, after you complete it).

Ok, I'm not a profi, so it is only my very humble opinion...

1. I think that your vocalman is not from Berlin (Sachsen or may be NRW) 

2. IMHO you can good sing and play together. Just keep playing! (I envy. I allways wanted to try myself in a band, but I'm to bad with guitar.  :'()

How long do you play together?

3. Since this song is good enough for the party with your friends, or school (the teachers will be happy :) this is IMHO not a hit. (sorry :'() It is a little bit "usual" or something like this. And you need a song to represent your album...


This doesn't mean, your music is bad. May be you just haven't find your way, or may be I'm the wrong man for this jury. I've heard ocassionly punk rock and I like some songs, but ths is not really my music.

Just publish your albums... 

PS: Is it possible to hear the complete album?

Thanx to all...

I still work on my avatar and I understood what you told me. You mean that  this is not me! Such a pity...:'(

I have to make some kind of sweetys... 


I'll try some comicky type later, to. Be aware! 

Was your first day in the school really so bad? 

Thank you very much MashPotato!
I'll try to study/understand your paintover and rework my picture...

PS. Your "me" looks much younger, than my...

The hair really bothers me! It's so flat in your portrait! Round it off some more? And is it the light? Cos you look blonde in the photo.
I think you need to show a better photo of yourself for the artists here to help you. There is too much light, which hampers being able to see the details in your face.

I'm not blonde  it is light...


I'll try to make somethig with the hair flatness...

Try copying the stance and the way your head is facing in the pixel version. If you are working from a source to get the lighting right, you really should try and get it as close a copy as possible. Either that, or a caricature would be good fun!

This is a good idea and I make that to. But how to improve this avatar?..

May be some paint over?  :

I try to make a pixelized version (64x64) of me and need some help...

Here it is: 1x 2x and the original of me:


Please tell me your opinion about it...

PS. I made a little bit more hair on my head, since I usually have more than on the photo, and I need an avatar for every day. 

PPS. My wife told me, that the picture is bad and I do not look like it.  :'(

Cool! 

May I , may I !!!  :

Since I never saw this film, I like this game. Now I'm thinking about looking for it. May be I'll find some DVDs with it...

The telephone conversation is simple awesome...

Hi!

I've made more backgrounds and animations.
3 backgrouns are 100% ready, 2 - 90% and 2 - 20%.
I have to develope 3-4 more characters, and make a couple of additional animation.

The badd news is: I shall not be ready till summer  :'( I need more time...

Good news: I have Zombies!
A lot of them. An undead army...



For more, see the first post...

2 more backgrounds are about to be ready and I've got a sketch for the last (Nr.7) background.

I've also started to make my very own (so-called) soundtrack for this game. Here is a sample.  Main theme "It's your business now" (with short demo video)

May be it sounds a little bit boring, but:

1. It is my very first try to make my own music. 

2. It will be possible to turn the music off in the game... 

[are]

Ok, they are bigger!Ã, 
I have to redraw them...



But then you'll blame me for this...Ã, 

After all, right now I have to draw my backgrounds, not boobs...Ã,  :'(
I need 7 rooms. 3 are 100% ready, 2 are 25%, 1 - 10%, 1 - 0%Ã, 
that means: "no boobs right now"Ã, 

news:


At first, I didn't want to make a walkcycle for her, but "who can say no to a devil lady with boobs?"...Ã, 

I've decided  to make 2 more rooms, so it will be about 7 rooms in this game. I need to brake me free from the succubus animation, to make backgrounds...Ã,  

My attempts:

hmm... It seems good, since you've reversed the shading....
I have to try. Thanx for idea...

Thax a lot for all!

here is one more pic...

I just love this game.
The main character seems to have a problem with his mouth in the DOWN VIEW

Thank you. I'm still working on him. If you have some ideas about him, feel free to poste them here:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=29965.msg382749#msg382749

See? Just get rid of the muzzle, and it makes him look a lot better. You could probably make it look nicer than I can, but this is what you need to do if you want him to look like a teenager. Like I said before: the younger the character, the less detail in the face.Ã,  (EDIT: Ah... For the diagonal view, it just needs to come out a few pixels)

I agree, he looks better. But my problem is: he has to look 19 years old. I'm afraid that he looks to young...

The overall question was: "How to make a chibi charakter look adult?"

And as for the walkcycle: it isn't that I don't recognize the skill evident in its creation. I can't animate... especially not lo-res graphics (look at my game in progress: it's all hand drawn art. I can NOT do pixel art to save my life. It's a skill I both envy and admire).

I wasn't sad that you critisised my work. I've post the pictures to hear some critic...

However, it is too far spread to either side. I can't even see what you did to repair it. Make the feet come straight out instead of going to the side. The way the arms swing now adds to it, but once you have the feet coming straight out instead of swaying and flaring out, it will look more like a gallant, purposeful stride than an ice rink maneuver.

I've found the problem. Actually he walks like thiat in the game:
game animation: old:

I just wanted to make some funny walking animation for the funny character. I'm afraid, if I'll make him more real, something will be lost...

Still looks like he's dancing. His arms are too in sync with his feet. Way too much. His feet also need to move less to the side and more straight.

His walking doesn't look so in the game (s.a.).

As for his arms, I don't really want to make mor than 4 frames for his front walking. If I sit to long with his walkcycle, I'll never end this game...Ã, 

Surprising the animation is so lacking; coming from an animation competition veteran.

It isn't briliant, but I don't think, it is "so lacking"...Ã, 

His arms just move too much.Ã,  If his hands only came in as far a his hip, and his elbow didn't bend pulling his hand up, he wouldn't look like he's working so hard.

May be I'll really rework his walkcycle later...Ã, 

Thank you very much for all!Ã, 

I've just started the "game in the production" thread.

here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=30016.0

I thought that his walking looks funny and ok. But since so many people tell me, that they don't like it, I have to change it...Ã,  Nobody likes it?Ã,  :'(

I reduced his "skating" a little bit (one pixel). Is it enough?

old new

As for his face, I don't really know, how to make it better...Ã, 

May be I'll rework him completely for the next game. So feel free to post more critic and paintovers...

[Necroquest]

TRAILER
http://www.revver.com/video/686311/necroquest-1-trailer-02/

Screens from the game:

Tom's new home:


He even has a succubus in his cellar (if it ends good?).



Tom in "Orks Warshop" (There can only be war!). The empoye demonstrates him the new warhammer for "Battleaxe" system (4th edition), and offers a demo game. (For Sci-Fi fan there is also "Battleaxe 2000") 



How Tom looks like:
 

Succubus. She plays very important role in this game to (she has to distract players from the storyline).


so-called "soundtrack" sample. Main theme "It's your business now".

sincerely yours

2 all: Thnx!

2 Steel Drummer:
I can't make it less round. That was the idea. The chars in this game will be all "round headed" Comme Ça:
That was the question: Can you imagine, that this round headed boy is 19 years old, or I have to alter him? And how?

2 esper:
C H A R A C T E R Ã, right? Ã,  Ã, (thnx, fixed)
His face looks old? To old? In the game he's full of sorrow right now.

2 Zirconius:
May be you can make a paintover to show, what do you mean?

2 TheCheese33:
Has anybody else problems with ImageShark?

2 Nikolas:
Thank you... Ã, 8)
As for the BG, I made the walking area so that I mustn't think about perspective for the character. Some developers makes more complex perspective and do not alter the character at all. For example some of the backgrounds in "A Vampyre Story" or "Noctropolis" have really odd perspective (I like them).

Now everybody is mocking me for my english...

2 all: I hope I'll start "game in production" tread soon and tell more about the game, since I have at least two backrounds...
