Therefore, just starting with a game idea and then somehow wrapping some graphics around it isnt gonna work. So i decided to start with getting the graphics done completely before even touching programming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/08\/e17fc2ca8bb7ae729c994f643f626201.png\"><img alt=\"hmblog2\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275143 aligncenter\" height=\"150\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/08\/e17fc2ca8bb7ae729c994f643f626201.png\" width=\"536\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">I am almost done with that, the mockups so far look very promising, even though i am afraid of the programming part to come.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">All is done with PyxelEdit, a fantastic little program which sadly doesnt support Animations yet. That will probably affect the overall feeling of the graphics a bit, as i planned to animate the clouds and lights but am struggling to do so right now. That will probably be scrapped for time reasons.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/08\/a8e8565a11917fe8af2187341fc4105c.png\"><img alt=\"hmblog3\" class=\"size-full wp-image-275155 aligncenter\" height=\"400\" src=\"\/data\/posts\/2013\/08\/a8e8565a11917fe8af2187341fc4105c.png\" width=\"294\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Now to finish off the more complicated foregrounds of the images, which will contain all gameplay aspects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">And then im off watching Formula 1.<\/p>","time":"August 24th, 2013 12:17 am","title":"HOLD MY BEER | STEP 1: Graphics, Graphics, Graphics","title_was_empty":false}
