  • I'm having real trouble with the Pathfinding behaviour lately.

    The sprites seem to meander around, moving from side to side when they're changing direction. They also get stuck in a seemingly infinite loop if they overlap an obstacle (which gradually slows down my PC).

    Is anyone else having similar issues with the Pathfinding behaviour?

    Hey, thanks for the kind words :) it does suck but I want people to be able to learn from my experiences. It was very disheartening, but the only cure is to keep going!

  • rosareven Thank you! I'd love you to share it :D

  • Hello everyone,

    I have decided to start a blog to chart my journey along the path of a freelance artist.

    I will be updating the blog regularly with any tips and lessons-learnt, so as to make it a valuable resource for anyone else interested in pursuing this sort of career.

  • mineet You're getting better all the time!

    I took a break from pixel art last night to do something on paper:

  • I've implemented a trophy system into the game, to try and encourage players to complete the game. I need to populate the game with more creatures though, otherwise it's going to be quite a small trophy wall!!

    I was also considering including trophies for other achievements, such as defeating 10 scimitar demons, or surviving for a set amount of time.

  • It certainly would be the easiest and quickest way to do it, although instead of doing it with a sprite you could make a new layer, set its colour to black, transparent to 'No', and then set it to whatever opacity you want.

  • You could prototype the game, but you couldn't build the full version of it with just the free version.
