Thanks a lot for your answers, Caskey and Bloodbane. It's really helpful. Also, I think I understand how sprite work now. I was wrong about the amount of details I could put in a 120px figure with realistic proportions, and I'm quite dazzled. I compare it to studio work ; I think I'm not so far...

I have some issues with both actually. For instance, using the icon for the HUD will result in the hud changing colors according to the player's palette. Can't it be done with an "none" entity instead? Nevermind. By browsering the forum I saw you made a script for that. If I can't do that...

So, ehm. I worked overtime and I finished enough sprites to make that first enemy workable. It took time, effort, sweet blood and angry tears of rage, but it's done. Now I know how to implement it, so I won't annoy you guys with it. But I need help with the HUD and the...light effects ? I...

Could you send me a png with the color you propose so I can try them out ? All the characters will share the same color numbers, and all the palettes will be compatible with all the characters. It will save me a lot of time. So even if I don't use the ireland green palette for this enemy, I can...

So... I've been working hard lately, and the first enemy is coming along as I want him to. There's still a lot of work to do but eh. I'm quite satisfied Next step ; the HUD.

With that quality of work, I'm surprized you're not working for a studio already. It's amazing man.

Also, I've been suspecting After Effect could help for some transitionary frames or animating low movement frames. So I tested Turns out it works I'm just posting that to let people know that idle animation can be made to move really easily. Maybe people can be interested I don't know

Wow, I totally love what you did to the pants and shoes. I'll totally use that for inspiration to rework some of the sprites Also I remade that walk animation. So I'm effectively back to where I came from, with one actual working character Edit : Altho I understand that the more time you spend...

That would make little sense also. Samurai shodown is set in late sengoku era (1600+) while D&D is set more or less in european dark ages (between 800 and 1200). Besides I see no point in adding samurai in that kind of game...what sense would that make ? That's just my opinion tho. I would...

Yeah... Im beggining to consider with horror the possibility I might have to completely redo this walk animation of the death. Also yes, for my sprite work, working with four colors is the way to go. I don't want to add more, because of one reason - namely they tend to overlap really quick...

I've been drawing for a long long time, but I never went into pixel art. That's why I need to find a way to translate my art into sprites. I could take the long route and learn pixel art from scratches... but we're talking about a five additional training years to come up with something decent...

But sempai this is exactly the case ;A; I have strictly no idea about what I'm doing. I know absolutely nothing of pixel art and I'm just learning as I go, and I'm looking mostly for a time effective way to turn my hand painted sprites into animations rather than working directly with pixels...

Duelly noted. I will need a lot of memory anyway for what I intend to do, so I will try to save it as much as I can. Talking about this, I am surprized the patterned distribution during indexation has such a bad press in the games I played. It's really good to respect gradiants while eating...

I was suspecting something like that - but thank you ! That saves me a lot of time fumbling around and bumping on every single wall like I usually do Also, don't hesitate to hit me up on skype, should you want to talk

Alright, so, basically, I paint in neutral light, and I use an alpha mask (which can be set to hard light to what I read on the wiki) for light source.  It can be done by entities, but for no-scroll scenes, a single mask is preferable. Roger that. That's definitely something I can do. I feel...

So, I'm still working on the project, finished player character, did some concept for enemies. Creating assets take time but I know where I'm going. But as I'm designing my first stage (a no-scroll barfight against easy enemies to set up the background and get the player used to the commands)...

Again, thanks a bunch for your answers. It looks like I'm getting used to the basic engine system. It's not that hard after all ! But it also seems I will have to do a lot of scripting to achive even remotely what I have in mind. My first character seems to be working really well. It took me...

After a rain of sweat tears and blood I eventually came out with a working character. And by working I mean it doesnt makes openbor crash. Yay for me ! In addition to my previous questions : how do I set hitboxes ? And attack boxes ? In the meantime, I will completely redo this ugly walk...

Not wanting to butt in or anything, but yeah, it's a cultural trait we have. French people just love to argue and sound kinda patronizing when they give advices. More than once I've been involved in drama with someone over the internet, sometimes escalating very quickly, before I understood they...

That is duelly noted. One more reason to stick with small frames then... again, time is definitely a constraint. Moreover, all those sprites are drawn on a rather large resolution before reduction and indexation. It's the only way I know how to work, and it eats time by big chunks Original...
