Cobblestone

Posted by TakaM on July 28, 2007, 2:06 p.m.

Getting straight into it as you can see.

Lot's of changes, a new cobblestone terrain for some of the more civilized areas, a rock, the houses and other tiles are further edited plus the background layers have changed in their hue.

I'm really happy with how this is progressing and …

Livelier

Posted by TakaM on July 27, 2007, 2:17 p.m.

I don't really have much to say today.. Let's see..

I've done a bit more work on the tiles, made them more versatile, another tree variation, the bridges, and some extra details like rocks and bushes to go on the platforms- makes the game look a lot livelier.

I'm not …

Cardboard

Posted by TakaM on July 26, 2007, 11:53 a.m.

I thought I'd try a similar approach to parts of Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story, by making the cliffs sort of look like they were constructed out of old tattered and ripped corrugated cardboard.

As you can see, while it doesn't look too bad, it doesn't fit in at all. …

Tiles

Posted by TakaM on July 25, 2007, 12:20 p.m.

I haven't pixelled any tiles for a while now, so I thought I might as well take a practice swing at the new tiles I have planned for Twinsen.

If I liked how they turned out, I would've saved showing you guys them for when I had at least redone …

Overdue

Posted by TakaM on July 24, 2007, 12:39 p.m.

An entry is long overdue, I know.

I usually have one every day, but I just haven't written one for the last couple of days.

So here I go.

First, Twinsenly speaking.

Cocopuffs left the other day to go fishing, he'll be back in another day or so, so that's …

Barbecue

Posted by TakaM on July 21, 2007, 2:36 p.m.

I just got back from my friends house, he's leaving tomorrow morning so he had a barbecue tonight.

He said he'd rather just have a barbecue, because a party is too much to deal with, and to be honest I wouldn't've shown up if it was a party.

So, since …

Tested

Posted by TakaM on July 20, 2007, 2:47 p.m.

Over at some pixel art forums I go to, I sent the current build of Twinsen to another member who was pretty critical of the controls from the first demo.

He's quite happy, he thinks it's a great improvement over the first demo, I'm glad other people can confirm this, …

China

Posted by TakaM on July 19, 2007, 11:14 a.m.

My brother left for China at 4am this morning, he's got a job waiting for him and his wifes parents live there.

He was here for about 2 months, back from Indonesia for a while, so yup, now he's gone for I think he said at least a year.

I …

Tuesday

Posted by TakaM on July 18, 2007, 10:14 a.m.

One of my friends is moving to another town in a couple days so we were gonna have a big Tuesday night, "big" like it started Tuesday morning at 1am and ended Wednesday morning at about 5am.

I've got a lot of pizza boxes and stuff to throw out, plus …

Redesign

Posted by TakaM on July 16, 2007, 2:04 p.m.

I was considering playing through Super Metroid Redesign, so I started searching for the patch again, and I came across the Let's Play Super Metroid Redesign project.

To be honest, I'm kinda relieved to just watch it, the commentary is pretty funny sometimes, and it's interesting to see someone else …
