So far- I'm working on getting an animation pipeline going haha. I've been toying with some sci-fi / horror ideas.

Gameplay would be action / adventure where you fight in real time and collect items - typical but my first game and I'm working solo. I'm working on a system of pixel art based upon using myself as a reference model (didn't study animation or modeling at school!).

I have been having a blast working on this- just finding my style for art. Going for a Lovecraft / horror style-

the water is animated a bit as well as the portal - testing animation with it up on my website:

nimbusfool.com

Ashely- Yes. I had used CCleaner to clean up a bunch of files so all evidence points to that! But hey- I did learn that I can open a .capx in winzip and get a lot of info out of the XML files because of my crash!

So I haven't finished any games yet and I don't have any demo's going

as of this moment either but I have been playing with Isometric Pixel

art and the fantastic way Mr. Davies presented it.

All of these are built square by square using isometric squares and other shapes drawn in GIMP.

Here I am starting the front of a building - was thinking a side scroll much like double dragon.

Slowly progressing

A finished version

Here I am using it to create walls and add depth to a scene..

And lastly I need to get a demo or video up on this one- the way the floor moves and swirls is quite fun!

Hope you are all having as much fun as I am!

Just had this happen - 12/26/2012. Removed an audio file for looped background music from the game controls then tried to run it and got this error. I had just cleaned all my temporary internet files- and it is searching in my AppData\Local\Temp for the texture
