hey im a game creator to and LOVE pixel art and i was thinking if you needed help or ideas about your game i could help. or even work side by side on it :) just a though
Coolers! what's your best suggestion? 馃槑
i'm learning to program in Gamemaker 1.99
Sublime Text for text editing,
Tiled open source editor for level pieces
Photoshop for art & animation
would like to have more body types, but each one adds so many combination sprites! eek
so the wings, shell, horns style things are much easier to do
well if body types are too hard then how about the eggs. cuz i have played the game and im unlocking all the eggs types but i was thinking mabye the goal of this game is to evolve and pick a species and populate the land with your animal? Also you cud add giant lizards and preditors that could like pick up and carry other animals away!? XD
other suggestions
:a huge boss that lives in a cave and if you kill him you get some cool upgrades.
: able to shoot when your the red crab guy instead of moving fast
: if you can other body types and fixing some of the body glichs :)
;nests were you lay eggs but you have to bring a mate there or be a high level or somthing
:YOU DONT HAVE TO ADD ALL THESES YOU NO IM JUST GIVING SUGGESTION
Sweet. hey for the lizards you cud give them a tongue that shoots out and pulls pray into it.
i played the game and there are a lot of glichs like i jumped on one of the flying cat things and half killed it but it was still flying
and i think you sould shoot only when your full crab. cuz i was pretty confuseled when i saw i cud shoot and i was half frog
huummmmmmmum here are a few.
New ideas
:Spikes. if monster falls on you they die.
:Crystals. you leave a trail of smaller crystals were ever you go. or you can hide and look like a rock or somthing.
:Carryers. carry your young
:Two Big arms that walk on knuckles or clawed hands and attack or climb.
(Types of Shells,Wings,Horns,Tail)
(1) Turtle shell you can hide in it
(2) Dragon/Bat wings
(3) A saw blade type horn that dose damage constantly Or cut down trees to get to the next biome.
(4) A tail that you can hang from the roof.
(5) Or fangs that splash poison or just like clip off vines

cool!
here is my base set of animations;
48x48 sprite
4 frame idle
8 frame movement, first frame is also used as 'land'
2 frame jump
2 frame glide straight
2 frame glide down
2 frame fall
1 frame dead
there is also 3 frames after this for stunned creatures, and the crab and beetle have different anims for shooting & charging
i'm going to have shuffle the frames around once i get the lizards wall climbing working
