Topic, Star Tower Game

  The backrounds look like the editor from Push.

  New sprite, background Ghost.

I'll try to do all of the backgrounds today.

  Still,GO PIKACHU!

  @MIF10, it IS pokemon trainer. xP

  Okay, I got it. Now I will get Underground, Sky, Space, Castle, and Star.

  Thanks! Now if I could just get it to work....

  This looks good,the sprites,I mean.

THE GUY LOOKS LIKE POKEMON TRAINER! GO,PIKACHU!

  This doesn't make sense. I made all of my sprites except for the star 25x25. The level editor is 625x500. When I fill all of the tiles in the level editor, they fit perfectly. But when I split it into 25x25 tiles, they won't fit. Can anyone help?

  New sprite! This will be 1 of the 5 backgrounds for the level editor. I need to put in the graph lines first though.

  Forget "Blocky", i'm going for another character.

TRAINER!!!

Yes, and he's copyrighted. I don't care.

  The exact opposite of me, I LOVE making pixel art. xP

That's why BLaster towers sprites look pixelated. :p

  LOL I named the character Blocky!!!!


Yeah, i'm not good a pixel drawings.....

  O_o

It's okay, just a bit... blocky.

I prefer gelatinous spheres for some reason. :p

  New character! Is he good?

  Okay, I'll make my own character.

I'll make moving tiles later, SuperDog.

  Yeah. like Enough Plumbers did. xP

  i think mario is already copyrighted. You should edit them to look less mario related.

  Nice sprites. Though only the star feels realistic. And the lava and ? block should move, and you need the feather the other way round as well.

  They seem... weathered. Maybe retouch them? :/

  Got some sprites, check at right.

  See? told ya it was Flixel, AK. xP

  Okay! :)

Latest flash is 8, right?

But I will start with the sprites before I download anything. I will post the sprites at the first message.

  AK as I told you, I will not have time to be your personal Flash teacher :). On the documentation page that you can't read ( http://www.bonuslevel.org/about/docs_0.html ) you need to install the latest flash player (look for "flash player download" on google).

About the development environement, Flixel + Flex SDK + Flash develop are free and a great way to make Flash games. You have to work with bitmaps for the graphics (with a dedicated software like Photoshop or The Gimp(free)).

Flash CS5 is expensive but will be easier for a beginner. You can work with vectors for the graphics.

There are plenty of people who can help you in this forum., that's why I asked you to use the forum and not PM.

  AK get the flash 8 trial to get used to the layout for a start...

  Do you find any answers at the bottom of this page?

  I meant that's how long it would take to totally finish an actual game. Most games take 2-3 years to make. Computer games usually take 3-6 months. A 1 month trial most likely wouldn't be enough.

I'm going to bed now. JP, if you're on, please show me which flash would make the best game for BL.

  Have you noticed that 1000 hours isn't the average game maker's attention span? :p

  I doubt it. I'm new to game creating, and i'll only be on about 2 hours every day. That's only 60 hours total, when usually normal games take 1000 hours.

I might be able to, but when the trial runs out, i'd have to give one of you the data for the game.

Is it worth it?

  you can get a free demo of the flash software for a month. If you can make the game in less then a month, then go for it!

  By wire, I meant metaphorically. :/

you DON'T need to wire a box into your computer, you'll need to put together bits of software, there's a tutorial. :/
