I'm really diggin' your art style. It's very unique and eye catching.

Why is this not done? I want to lick it.

I don't know what I'm seein', but I'm loving it!

It's a pretty useful program. Most animators were stuck using Flash for that sorta thing before it came along.

That's a little strange that I never noticed fiverr.com existed, but he's right. I, myself, charge around $5 per frame for simplier sprites. Though, to get a unique looking character you'll want to trademark, you might have to pay a little more. OR come to me (shameless self plug).

If you wanna check out some of my work, take a look at my deviantart pages:

Your wife really brings a lot of character to the cup with the animations. It's always impressive when someone can do that with a character who has little or no face.

It works fine on my desktop. Sounds and everything.

... and the concept is very addictive. Damn you!

You can always try what I did for an in-game pause menu. Make a layer for each tab, make them invisible initially, and then have each button set to make it's corresponding tab visible when the player clicks on it (and others invisible again, of course).

It's a little more work programming-wise, but it's easier for you in the long run, in case you need to change options in the tabs and add extra tabs down the road.

Sounds like you were pretty close to coming up with that idea on your own.

Those little pixel guys scratch my retro itch in exactly the right spots.

What kinda game is it going to be?

PlanetX

You might be right. Though, I feel like I can easily add character to the larger sprites. Most of the non-trash enemies will be about 1/2 the size of the player or bigger, so I might try working on some of them to see if they work well before I make an decision though.

Damn! You noticed that, too? I was hoping it wasn't that noticeable. I had trouble with it because the front leg covers the back and moving either of them makes it look bow-legged and changing the timing on the movement makes it look like it's limping. All I can think of is to lengthen the body. Any suggestions, master?

Amiga? Ouch, I thought I at least made it to the Sega Genesis.

PlanetX

Not a fan of the retro 2D visuals as a whole or not the style of it so far? I'm curious 'cause I've had a bit of trouble translating the charm from the large concepts to the small sprites in-game.

I'm really loving the level of detail you're putting into the game!

Do you have any video of the game yet? I'd love to see how everything works together.

Unfortunately, I can't. I made the huge mistake of getting a windows phone...
