How's everyone coming along?

I've decided to work on a racing game. Something I've never done before. I started by finding assets ( http://kenney.nl/assets/racing-pack ) and from there made a small test track, made the player's car move, and started work on some basic AI.

Here's a link to the first gif of my project.

How's everyone else doing?

I've never made a platformer, never used pixel art, and never used a personal story as inspiration. Instead of Unity I'm trying out Godot. So I'm trying to make a pixel art platformer game about the time I walked down to the harbour to watch a meteor shower in the middle of the night (about a month ago), and the strangers I met there.

It's 2 am, I'm trying to learn a new engine and scripting language, I'm running out of beer and I have no idea what I'm doing...


Hope to see more and show more tomorrow! :)

I've never used Godot, but their site claims the scripting language is "python like", so that's always a good thing.

i never drawn and always avoid it so i try drawing and its going along smoothly.

I just pasted a direct url to the gif I think

that only made it into a link

weird. If I click your link, copy the address and paste it in it looks like this:


nb!: press return after you paste it in and you'll see the image in the editor.

ya its weird, anyway i used HTML tag to show it, this is the code (without the space):

< img src="image" alt="Smiley face" height="42" width ="42" >

Drawing interactive comics is strolling along nicely. I'm usually a programmer, so I had completely forgotten how much time it takes to clean up hand drawn art work. Perhaps it's faster to just trace the original scan.

I'm still struggling with Godot, but with a lot of googling and a little code cut and paste (shh), I have something that almost works :)



That's supposed to be me leaving my apartment. I'm not really happy with the colours, but I think I have too much to do to really worry about details.

I wanted more creativity on my art, so i tried looking up ways to use krita with my touchscreen laptop and found out that it doesn't work well on krita. Anyway that didnt stop me from drawing on my touchscreen, i found sketchbook and i'm drawing little faster than i would have with my "phone to computer to krita". I still use Krita for touch-ups but not for drawing.

Some really neat stuff. Unfortunately I've been sick all weekend so I haven't really gotten anything done :(

I gave up trying to finish the story and rushed to get something up that worked last night. You can try my first attempt at a pixel platformer here. You can walk and jump, press down to look up at the sky and have some weird fragments of conversations.

I think I have all the graphics and code I want, I just need to add the rest of the story and a few level elements, so I hope to do that during the week :)

The Godot engine is really cool once you get the hang of the basics so I'll definitely try to use it again in the future.

It was fun to try something completely different!

my last drawing:

It was fun but now i need to return to finishing up on my book. I will still continue drawing but will take me a long time to get it where i wanted.

p.s: all hail the Hypnotoad
