Oh and heres the fixed glacier texture:

If it is, I think you might be missing the point.

I knew it wasn't the fixed one.... Back to the drawing board...

 

(I don't know what bumping is so if i just bumped i apologize)

 

Edit: I have created a new texture and this time i did copy n' paste it to make sure.

 

 

 

I hope you like it!

Well, that's a start. A start. It takes a lot more than no previous experience and a few sprites to go somewhere. If you're seriously considering becoming a sprite artist, my advice to you is to spend as much time as possible developing your skills. Create brand new sprites for existing games (there's plenty of old and open-source games that still use sprites), maybe even create mock projects.

Create brand new sprites

 

 

But these are brand new sprites.

1) I didn't say they weren't.

2) You pulled that phrase out of context, which completely changed its meaning.

If that's all you got out of my post, then you've completely missed the point.

Stop staring. You're making me nervous.

Oh, and I almost forgot. Releases will be on a monthly basis from now on, not semi-monthly. Because university/college/blarg and stuff. Yay.

I know, i need to improve, and that this is a good start but i still need to do much better. I didn't miss any point.

[Shadowblaze]

I didn't miss any point.

 

Yeah? Your previous post tells us exactly the opposite.

20 minutes of gameplay in which I generally make stupid decisions and miss obvious things and die. Woooo!

As I said on the devblog, I really like watching people do let's plays of my games. Thanks man! :D

[MaelstromIslander]

Wow, i forgot all about this project. Nice to see it taking shape.

 

By the way, i'm done making textures. I'm not good at textures, but i do know what i'm good at making: Pixel art.

 

I've got a whole freaking sheet of pixel art, so if you want to see it, just ask. However, i'm sure that you're not going to use images for items.

[Addictgamer]

Oh boy, this is a big one!

 

First off, the Indie Game Festival deadline is up & coming (technically, it's today -- but for us, it's yesterday because we programmers both have classes all day today).

So we busted our butts, finished a build just for the IGF, and sent it out last night.

 

Which means all of you guys get another Barony release! Fun, huh?

 

 

Now then, a ton of stuff has changed:

 + Confusion effect

 + Hunger indicator (appears above your health & mana bars when you get hungry)

 + Several new books (yay, new writer!)

 + Skeletons

 + Minotaur boss

 + New textures (courtesy our new texture artist)!

 + Ingame playing manual

 + Tons of new sound effects.

 + New music tracks.

 + Minimap differentiates between explored and unexplored regions.

 + Healing spells (only work on self at the moment)

 + Monsters make idle sounds. You'll hear plenty of bone clanking, goblin chanting, and rat squeaking now.

 + Minotaur boss level. He chases you through a maze. Don't try to fight him, I guarantee you'll get your face destroyed.

 + Leadership ability. Right click humans -> they follow you.

 + Baron Herx talks now.

 + Minotaur timebomb. There's a random chance that on any given level, the minotaur will be set loose to chase you after a certain amount of time. Don't worry, Herx will warn you. Don't idle around on those levels.

 + Spellcasting animations! I busted my butt to make these, you'd better like them.

 + New story intro (accessible from the main menu)

 * Minimap bigger

 * Tweaked bleeding. Bleeding to death now impossible.

 * Adjusted game classes & rebalanced wizard.

 * Doors are harder to break

 * Chat length increased

 * Bugfix: Readable books now spawn on low dungeon levels.

 * Changed monster curve to be easier for the higher levels (mines & swamp).

 * Last dungeon area disabled for this build. The minotaur boss is the last thing you do.

 * Monsters don't starve out anymore.

 * Modified shopkeeper dialogue.

 * Many bug fixes and weaks.

So, what's the status on this now? Are you still working on it, or has it been pushed aside?

[Addictgamer]

If you've been keeping up with the twitter feed, we're preparing to release in the upcoming weeks.

[Drill Master]

I don't Twitter, so no I haven't.

[Addictgamer]

Ah. Well, there's that, and quite a few screenshots. You might enjoy perusing them.

It seems we also have a new trailer:

 Well isn't someone a month late to the party.
