[DSG] - Crimson Star - BREAKTHROUGH

Posted by DSG on Nov. 7, 2008, 1:57 a.m.

///RECENT NEWS

Crimson Star has been in slow development since it's conception. However, recently I've really been working on it and developing it. Crimson Star is about 20% completed, with major challenges yet to come. I've redesigned the protagonist as well, along with giving him a kick-ass laser cannon. The spirit bow is still available, but as a secondary weapon.

[EDIT:] THE HEAD IS FIXED, SO STFU :]

You've waited long enough… Here you can see the new tiles and new areas as well as a few new creatures.

You could sell this thing if you manage to complete it.

I guess that's the hard part.

The new head makes the protaganist kinda look like a mentally challenged person; with a football helmet, and a jaw that's sticking out…Or kinda like that fucking Crazy Frog that Axel F has unleashed into the world. Also, the body looks very non-detailed in comparison to the the environment - most apparent in the 5th SS, where his pure-black (not even shaded) body shape is standing there (or running, I guess) in contrast to the beautifully coloured tiles around him.

Aside from the initial impression I get from the character, everything else is still very sexy. What's that little skull at the bottom for? (You have explained it in another blog, but I didn't read it).

wtf is wrong with his head?

He kinda reminds me of a psychonaut…

I agree with Josea, you could easily sell this.

Slow FPS is noted, btw.

His head is big. That's about the only thing I'll probably resprite. And, I'm sorry he lacks shading. This is a consequence of how fluidly he moves. The black sprites must overlap without it being obvious so i kind of had to give him a silhouette look. It looks etter in the game. Gameplay is not my forte so I admit I'm REALLY worried about that… I'll need beta testers and help near the end. The low FPS is because of my shit computer. It runs fine on my 2 year-old laptop, not to mention i run the game with a million programs open like Photoshop and FL Studio. XD

OH, and if you notice, the protagonist doesn't look chubby anymore lol

most GM users have shit PCs, and last time I checked, ps and fl didn't use all that much CPU at idle.
