Hi! I’m Folmer and together with ambushsabre\u00a0I made NICE SHOOT, an arena shooter\/platformer with semi-randomized levels and evolving weaponry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This is how life works.<\/p><\/div>\n

Ambushsabre did the coding while I did the graphics. The concept and design came from us both. I don’t want to call this post a proper post-mortem, because there’s so much more I want to write about my LD experience. \u00a0I will say that it’s been a lot of fun and I’m extremely happy with the game we made!<\/p>\n

What went right?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made a ridiculous amount of sprites.<\/p>\n

What went wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I made a ridiculous amount of sprites.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fig.1: A sampling of enemy sprites. There are more in the game, and there’s a final boss that makes all of these dudes look like chumps.<\/p>\n

Fig.2: This is what a fully evolved Poison Bullet looks like. There are 4 other bullet types that all have their own properties and unique animations\u00a0so I guess you’ll just have to play the game all the way through at least 5 times!<\/em><\/p>\n

(Fun fact: There are 120 frames of bullet animations in total)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ok so that’s NICE SHOOT<\/a>, I hope you guys like it!<\/p>","time":"August 28th, 2012 5:17 pm","title":"NICE SHOOT: a post-pixel"}
