Braydon_SFX

Hey there guys,

Well, This would be my first app so I thought I would post about it here.
I have made a Tiki Totem style game, and I wanted to post a picture.
I will update this thread every now and then so you can see what's happening.
Like I said, this is my first app.

Here is a photo of the game:

Let me know what you think.

EDIT: Chefs, how do I post a picture and it shows up, I thought I just had to post a link?

Thanks :-)

Braydon_SFX

Hey,

The game isn't complete yet, which is why I haven't posted a video
But thanks for the kind words.

Hmm, I don't think it worked.

Edit: Now it worked. :P

theCodeMonsters

I really wish you would tell us about the game but the graphics look Awesome!

icanmake

probably not much to explain. it is a tiki totem style game. which means that it is similar to this:


cant wait to see it! looks awesome!!!

beefy_clyro

Yes, as TSB says, very nice art

Braydon_SFX

Thanks guys, it means a lot to me. :P

Although, I need some suggestions.
The Penguin is trying to get onto the Ice Block, then you have to destroy everything else.
Does the ice block look out of place? I mean art wise. I was trying to think what else it could be lol.
Thank you all for the nice comments.

Chobbiface

Yea nice art you doing your own?

theCodeMonsters

Well in response to your question about the ice block. The reason why it looks out of place to your eye is because It's what the user will first look at. In art I believe this is called the vanishing point. So just tone it down if you want. But you might want the user to look at the block so I dunno, its really up to what your intensions are.

Braydon_SFX

@ CBL-
Yes, Most of the art I am doing with my friend, we both love doing graphic art.
I hope to update this thread with new information, pictures etc.
Stay tuned!

Braydon_SFX

Okay so those who don't know what the game is like, here is a brief summery.

Your character (Penguin) is trying to get onto the block of ice. Help him accomplish his goal by destroying the various objects that get in his way. Be careful not to let him touch the ground, or you'll have to restart.

Hope that helps.
I'll post more pictures later on. Thank you all for your support. I want the game to be done (coding wise) by friday.

Braydon_SFX

Hey there guys,

New picture today, here is the working Menu so far, I know I will be adding more to it, let me know what you think.



`Edit: Fixed your image. You need to get the link to the image itself not the page it on. also your embed code was a little messed up as well. - tenrdrmer`

Braydon_SFX

Thanks there Tenrdrmer.

Braydon_SFX

Hey guys,

Here is an update for level one. This is how it will look in the game

Braydon_SFX

EDIT: Hey, don't for get me Mr.SFX!
P.S. Make sure you do that code just as it is, spaces in the right place, etc. (I would spell out etc. entirely if I had any idea how to spell it!)

Oh yeah, thank you RKS. :-)

Braydon_SFX

I'm looking for suggestions:

The ice block just looks out of place to me, so I need to find something else to use that the penguin is trying to get to?

Any ideas?

A rock with snow on it?
A different looking ice block?

Thanks guys.

Braydon_SFX

Update:

New picture of level 2!
Also, I changed the text style today, I like it much better with a black stroke.

Hmmm, I think it would look pretty good if you just used one of the regular snow blocks, but put some kind of symbol on it that signifies it as the finish...

If you need a new one, I'd be glad to make you one for free if I have time. I will be done in a minute.

Here is something I made quick, you could make it look like he is trying to get back into the ocean. You could use it as a block and have the bottom stay off the screen. You could even add a storyline.



Make it so that this layer is above the background but below the ground so you won't see the bottom. Ad when the actor collides with it, you can make it shrink and then destroy to make it look like it went inside.

I believe he got it here:

@iTouchGamer-
That's correct, I did buy that graphics pack, it saved me a whole bunch of time - and its a great pack.

:-)

@Hman- I already thought of that and decided that wouldn't go with the game. Thanks for the offer, though.

Ice block is just fine! It's the "goal" it needs to stand out.

Braydon_SFX

Hey there Dstier-

Thanks for input.
Maybe the Sous Chefs could update the polls for me :

Should the goal (the the penguin is trying to get to) be a:
Ice Block with fish in it,
Rock with snow,
Something else (please post)

Thanks guys.

I like how it is now! How do you make your art?

Braydon_SFX

@Jadar-

I am doing almost all the art with my friend, we love doing photoshop and we taught ourselves. I love doing it, and so does he. We are a really good team.

I did get the ice block from a pack I bought, it saved me some time. :P
