M1KES's News

Posted by M1KES - September 19th, 2008


Well the 2nd part of the collab is out, and this is just a heads up to be on a lookout for my submition in there (grey fox with batteries), and another submition i collabarated with xxsammysxx (baby snake crawling around).
Seeying as i wasnt co-authored (not an easy task among 50+ artists), i'll probably submit 'em later on to the portal.
Anyway.. i wanna congratulate everyone who made it in the collab, there were some amazing parts and hope to see more of these massive collabs around here.

PS: For those that are interested... yes, i am still hard at work on the game i'm developing.

Hi there! I can finally say i have completed all the sprites on my main character... all 105 of them O.O
Well now i'm just gonna work on the engine and the enemy's... hopefully the game will be ready this summer..
Anyway.. i thought i'd show something neat for once :P.. Hope you enjoy it..

No special update this time... just wanted to show a cool scene depicting the main character vs one of the bosses...

Confrontation


Posted by M1KES - February 8th, 2008


Hey there! Long time i havent updated.. but just to let you know i am still working on this project. I got a coder to help me with the coding... so i'm more confident of the outcome now..
I'm also working on a strategy game with the coder thats gonna help me.. all the art in the strategy game will be done by me. All units will be fully modeled in 3d...
More info on this thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/84 7545
Anyway.. here is a sprite of 1 of the bosses of the game.. tried and give him some kinda dark side look. Hope you like it. There are still alot of frames to draw.. as i still havent finished all of the main character sprites, although he has 58 sprites done...
I'll keep on updating.. so keep checking for more..

New sprite design


Posted by M1KES - November 3rd, 2007


Ok, i wont be showing anything very new this time. i've been quite busy, with university starting and all. But i thought it would be cool to show my inicial design and my final design on the character stance pose. The cloth and lighting are greatly improved.

I am almost finished with the main character sprites, and as soon as i finish all of them, i will proceed to start building the game engine, which will be pretty tricky, namely the combo system and the enemy a.i.

Anyway, hopefully next time i'll have more stuff to show.
If you want to know on the game, be sure to check out my previous blog posts.

Another update on my upcoming action/platformer game


Posted by M1KES - September 15th, 2007


Well i am almost finished on drawing all the main character sprites. Here is another sprite...
If you want more info on the game i 'm creating, you can go to my previous blog post.
I also thought i should reveal one of the animation sequences... you can see it here .
The animation is not the final version. There is alot i still need to change. Like give the hair some movemant and some of the objects are kinda shaking all over the place.
Anyway, in the game the animation is gonna be much smaller so there it will look much better, although i am very happy with the results so far.
I am trying to keep the detail to the max so the game can be visually stunning, although its not an easy task...
Any sugestions or opinions will be greatly apreciated :) .
Keep checking back for more updates, there will be more...

Some more progress on my next Big Project.


Posted by M1KES - August 22nd, 2007


Well i decided to reveal my next big project. I am currently working on a sprite based beat' em up/platformer game. Imagine a mixture of red baron and alien hominid .
The sprites are gonna be completly original and are being drawn one by one all by me. Best part is, they are gonna be pretty good quality. I am trying to make the game as visually stunning as i possibly can. You can see 1 of the attacking sprites i'm using on the image attached. I really tried and not be too shy about the detail. That is the main character btw. You can see a little more of him on my avatar.

Its very early in production, i'm still doing the artwork (untill all sprites are complete, its gonna be a really long time), but as soon as the project is a little more advanced i will post a alpha at ng.mag.
My only problem is the action script... well i'm no illetarate at ac or anything like that but i'm no genious at it neither... Its goona be pretty tough programming the a.i., combo system, camera movement... I just hope i can manage to do it. If not i can always get a programmer to coop on the project or use some open source engine.

Anyway... hope you guys look forward to this game... its gonna be awsome! :P
