Eh... Omni

Has it already been a month since my last "blog"? Bizarre! O_o

Recently, I've been working with my traditional art skills, and am improving pretty quickly. Well, I think so:

Samurais pwn.

I'm still working on it, but I feel like I'm getting better by the day. Things are looking up as far as artistic skill goes.

——————————

Also, I'll officially announce my new project here and now. It will be my first game made in GM in over two years, ever since dire external circumstances forced me to go on a hiatus.

Here's an official banner:

Obviously, it is called "Copter Tactics." Yes, the generic name was entirely on purpose, since I want the game to have an arcade-y feel. Basically, you play as a helicopter pilot, and you have to blast stuff with your guns and rockets. You'll be blowing up a wide range of enemies, from bombers to battleships to giant robots with jetpacks and laser swords. I'm really focusing on the gameplay, trying to get it as smooth and intuitive as possible. Of course, I'll be spriting the whole thing with my own flair.

Here's a sample of the sprites in the game so far:

The purple-y helicopter you'll be piloting

A typical tank. These are fodder for a rocket loaded helicopter.

A beefier Master Tank.

Progress is a little slow, since I have University classes to worry about, but expect a demo of the first level sometime in the near future.

'Kay, that's it for now!

Those sprites remind me so badly of Advance Wars

Heh, actually the idea for the game was inspired by the original Advance Wars. I always imagined the game looking a bit like Advance Wars, so that's sort of the style I'm going for.

@bryan: I have AIM. If you need to ask me something, just check my profile. I have my AIM address in there.

Oh, Advance Wars. Nice sprites, but I think you should change them a little, as of now I think they're too similiar.

Similar? Well, the tanks are supposed to look alike. How do you mean?
