I just realised I never posted this. Another art attack for work, the theme being “quiet”.
I am excited to announce: UpBot Goes Up! It’s an Xbox Live Indie Game that I’m working on with LeFishy and Bateleur, who I met at TIGJam UK, a get-together of people from TIGSource. The plan is for three versions; XBLIG, iPhone and Flash.
It’s a retro style puzzle game – that means simple mechanics, but not-so-simple puzzles. Based on the title of the game you can probably guess what LeftBot, RightBot and DownBot do.
Enough talk, more screenshots.
As a side note, if you’re interested in XBLIG I heartily recommend joining in the community at the xblig.co.uk forums – for both developers and players.
Rayteoactive, creator of Tobe’s Vertical Adventure, made this awesome fan art featuring Johnny Platform. Johnny is looking possibly more freaky than ever before (too much caffeine, I expect).
This reminds me to also link to this cool one from Burn The Internet.
Thanks!
This sketch is a sort of crossover fan art between my own Treasure Treasure and Tobe’s Vertical Adventure by RayteoActive. You can find bigger treasure if you work together, it seems. Working together on the way home would be useful too though..
I’ve been getting into sketching more recently using ArtRage to improve my non-pixel art skills. I’m quite happy with this one, for now at least (no doubt I’ll see how awful it is in a few days).
It’s Trixie, again. I’m really liking the Treasure Treasure characters at the moment. Also got a couple more characters for the same universe in my head.
Another themed pixelart, “secret”. I think I could have worked on it a little more but I’m quite happy to call it done and move on to something else. 256×192, 18 colours.
It started out in the initial sketch as a waterfall scene, but someone suggested lava, which it turns out makes for much more interesting lighting anyway.
Pixelart on the theme “Growth”. 8 colours, 256×192.
Recently I’ve been working on a brand new framework for my XNA games to make development speedy, and have done about half an hour’s work on a potential next project.
I appreciate it’s not that interesting, but in the interests of actually posting something in the Devlog category, this does the job!
Don’t worry, I won’t post every incremental step of progress. Just every other step.
The graphics are placeholder; they’re a shameless rip-off of Arkedo Series – 02 SWAP!, which incidentally you should buy.
Mockups for a DS platformer with world map.
Another mockup, this time for a game using a circular screen. Climb the tower, escape the lava!
