So you first question is why? Well, partly because my mini game didn't go over so hot. Just eleven post on the gmc. (though it's not to late to bring it back up Hint hint see below blog for link :) )
Mostly though because I'm not good enough to do graphics for my games. I have some great game ideas and the coding knowlege to do them, but I just can't seem to get the hang of doing graphics. And fun games with crummy graphics are hardly worth playing.So far I've been unable to find anyone skilled at doing graphics who's willing to do them as I request them. perhaps I should take some time out to practice my pixeling and animation skills then once I get good enough at those start working on games again.So thoughts, Comments?Btw, I just got Xbox live, anyone want to add me to their friends list in Halo 2, my tag is elmernite-Elmernite
So you're depressed because of… game design?
Wow, what a great reason!*clap*Yea, GG pretty much has it right.
Less of a matter of game design as it is lack of graphics.
-Elmernitehmmm yeah game graphics are hard what i find a good thing to do if i cant get it right with the mouse is to do it with the keyboard in GML its alot esier all you have to do is imagine and type. thats how i do iso graphics.
i wish i had xbox live my parents are paranoid though
GG, slitting your wrists is past century!
GearGOD - bit harsh there really, aren't you?
Elmernite, i'm also very bad at graphics, but I don't let it annoy me. Just do what you can. Maybe try using a bit of code to make some effects to spruce it up a bit?Graphics aren't everything in a game, and if the actual gameplay is good, that's what would keep me playing it.GearGOD? Harsh? I would never have thought such a thing.
Yeah, graphics are really frustraiting. I can do music, come up with cool games and all that, but I can't sprint at all. Graphics in Bob were fine. The throwing axe dude were super annoying thougth. However, one doesn't need good graphics to have a good game. ET still rocks. How'd all you good sprinters learn?? You probably didn't start good. I just use trial and error but that's ultra frustraiting.
