What I have left to do, and some of what has been done

I still have to copy+paste the generic enemy template and apply it to the Aberrant enemy I created. It's going to be a sub-boss of sorts, with high-defense, low-speed, and (as mentioned previously) a tendency to drop …

Ego alert. Please ignore from here on in, and sorry everyone…

Shutting up

Quick overview of my spriting method - animation included

This is supplementary to that video I posted. The method I use is 'simple', in that I begin with a mental image of what I'm going for (In …

It's adjustable. Anywhere from 'Sparkly' to 'ARRGH MY EYES'. The latter being on an LCD monitor with a carefully calibrated Contrast/Brightness ratio. …

Shadows, that I made…

Regrettably, I forgot to put the screenshots on my Flash-drive. So I'll update those tomorrow.

Frankly, I've made no progress at all on my game; which is OK by me. I've got more important things to worry about at the moment.

But I have been brushing …
