  • Hmmm... I agree with Gamer. Even if you could provide a little sample of the type of 'graphic style' that you're looking for, it would help a lot.

    I found these...

    Sorry but I can't post links until I reach 500 rep so I had to place it like that.

    Even if they're not what you're looking for they will work wonders as place holders for you to get your project started.

    Good Luck

    Kind Regards

  • I saw the video and you make a very good sprites, please send the links to me :D

    I will as soon as they're done. I have been adding more to them, it shouldn't take too much longer but I got side tracked with 'work' =

    I will make a note to PM you once they're completely finished =]

  • OK, I've added a video link to a sample of the assets =]

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads

  • Well after trying to edit the post to fix the error I get an error screen saying that I cannot post links without 500 reputation =\ which is a fail because I already posted links! lol

    but Google Reaper and you should find it, if not try Reaper Fm

  • Patriick You pasted the lmms link in place of the reaper one ;)

    Btw I agree that reaper is a neat little thing worth checking out

    You can even have a fully custom interface, which is really cool for an inspiring creative environment

    Ahh, thanks for letting me know. I didn't realize!

  • Thanks for the help guys! I think I will start with paint.net, it should hold me over for a while. And I will try to save money for Photoshop too. :)

    Thanks for the links to the audio programs. I will try them all out.

    Man, I have so much stuff I need to learn. Feeling a little daunted, but mostly excited. :D

    Yeah it can get like that sometimes, just remember, baby steps! It'll all come to you soon enough just keep at it and practicing/learning what you can when you can =]

    Good Luck :P

  • For designing tile based levels and previewing my pixel art tiles I often use "Tiled" as mentioned by Rabid

    Sved has recommended one of the better tools for making a complete RPG game as quick and efficiently as possible but if you're simply talking about the world/areas within your rpg game look into Tiled as a map editor. It's pretty good and I love it!

  • Hi everyone...

    Well I made a few top down shooter character sprites (just for fun) as a distraction or break to what I was working on and I think they turned out pretty well, I would like to just donate them to the community, I've seen a fair amount of people posting FREE sprites and such but I don't know if anyone will use or need them, keep in mind it's pixel art :P

    I will continue adding to these over the next couple of days, I initially hoped to get them out and ready for everyone really quickly but I needed to get a few things done and couldn't spend most of my Saturday working on the computer. I have a video teaser of some of the content so that you can see the quality and two of the animations. I hope you enjoy!

    Video:

    www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2O8Is5MG0c

    Pack Contents:(once complete)

    A fully animated character

    A ton of icons/pickups

    Environment tiles

    Demo level

    Enemies

    [Update]

    Here is an unfinished set of the sprites including most of what is shown in the video and a little more. I will give you the Paint.net file (when I can post links) and the simple png image below. I will be updating it when I can but for right now this is still a work in progress.

    Feel free to use in your personal or commercial games, just provide credit where it's due.

    PS

    As a thank you, you could go through my referral link to Copy. It will help me keep my files backed up... I've fallen victim of many hard drive failures over the past two years and I've lost a lot of work so this helps me access some online storage to save my files, for free. It works similar to Dropbox with it's own little app but with more storage space. I think for it to count, you need to sign up and verify your email address and install the app which doesn't take long at all. Not to mention they give you an extra 5gb on top of the initial 15gb just for accepting my invite to it... Then you can invite any or all of your friends and the same thing applies, I don't know if there is a limit to how many people you can invite but I don't see why there would be! Anyway, if any of you're interested, I would greatly appreciate it, it will help many of you to have that extra free cloud storage too so here is my link: https://copy.com?r=CfyFVJ

  • You're 100% more likely to get a response if you were to give a little more information!

    This post is a little bland... or vague.

  • (We?)

    Well I think that it couldn't hurt and as long as the training is good it will become popular. People are always looking to learn new things and I am sure many would appreciate it!

  • Hi... I am new here too and I'm loving Construct so far! Here is my advice for the software(s) that you're asking about.

    1. There are a few to name for this but ultimately most people will probably recommend Photoshop. If however you cannot get the 'student' version or simply cannot afford it. Look at GIMP (Link: http://www.gimp.org/)

    If you have any trouble with those feeling too complex, have a look at Paint.net (Link: http://www.getpaint.net/) but I am not sure if this one works on Mac or not...

    2. There are so many tools out there that fit your feature requirements for this. I will name some below... Although Audacity (Link: http://audacity.sourceforge.net) is probably one of the most popular free Audio recording/editing applications out there.

    Ardour - http://ardour.org/

    LMMS - http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

    There are other *paid* softwares like:

    Reason

    Fruity Loops

    Reaper - This one offers a discounted license and is worth looking into! http://lmms.sourceforge.net/

    There are more but that should do for now :P

    3. I would say Camtasia Studio as it's pretty much the best one out there but it comes with a fairly large price tag. If you want free I would suggest... CamStudio. An open source screen recording software.

    CamStudio - http://camstudio.org/

    Well I hope that helps you out with what to use/get =]
