  I still think Ahroo's is far too cartoony...
also, if I made a pixely truck(maybe 16x32?) would you look at it?
[edit] scrap that I can't do trucks XD
[re-edit] my tiles include:
Floor tiles: Grass, Mud, Snow, Ice, Rock, Water, Pavement
Minerals: Gold, Ruby, Darkonuim, Titanium

  Because I like it.
And if I go for a realistic look, I'll use yours. Don't worry. Your texture is just so different from Ahroos.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  oh...ok lol didn't expect that...
birjo idk why you want to use Ahroo's cartoony blocks...too cartoony...XD
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  It's going to be sidescrolling
Hexicube 14 years ago
  idk...ask birjo XD
probably both...

  so, the picure of the man will be from the top? So should i have his arms extended outward (like to hold a block) or should they be down?
Hexicube 14 years ago
  it's a top-down game I think...
I doubt side-scrolling, I think it's just areas ofe 1 screen size that you go between
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  But i need to know the angles you want of the man. Is it going to be a sidescrolling game? Or is it going to be a bird's eye veiw?
Hexicube 14 years ago
  oh come on birjo, it fits far better...
it's not like i'm trying to draw actual grass lol
[edit] for a start Ahroo's don't even look pixely
my tiles got 6 now...
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Okay, I'll have to find that game again... :/

BTW I completed MFT with the first guy, the girl, the grasshopper, the castle crashers guy AND the chicken. >:D
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  @Marc That's exactly what I mean. Yours aim for reality, while Ahroo's is cartoony.

@Ahroo Yearh, that looks cool. Maybe having him a bit darker.
Hexicube 14 years ago
  right whatever, I had a great idea for a truck where you can buy tracks to replace the wheels and stuff...
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Okay, maybe a guy like in 'My First Translocator'? :/
Hexicube 14 years ago
  "trapped in a block world."
why must it have a reality look? ITS A FANTASY LOL :P
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Nope, the character should be a human. A car just doesn't fit.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  What hw do you have, DY? :/
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Im totally going to submit my pixally man here. (after my hw is done)

what angles/posisions do you want?
Hexicube 14 years ago
  lol...birjo can the player be some sort of vehicle?
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  @Marc That's true. However, pixely aint the main priority. Having them look good, is the main priority, and for a cute style, Ahroo's are amazing. Yours looks like Minecraft (Not a bad thing, at all), but it fits better for a reality look. What I choose will depend of what style I choose.

  My dad's the only real photographer, he'd KILL me if I used up the memory in his camera for sprites. :p

I'll find a way around it. :/
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  No, thats not plagerism, if the picure was taken by your camera, the result is 100% yours.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  DY, that's plaguerism. :p

Besides, I like making my own stuff. :p
Hexicube 14 years ago
  lol...added Ice
birjo did you look at mine? mine are pixely and Ahroo's aren't...
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  Ahroo, folow tese steps:

1- use digital camera to take picture of real person
2- Upload to computer
3-shrink size to 32 pixels.
4- Enlarge to 64

5- enjoy your new pixelated man!
Ahroo 14 years ago
  ... This is my BAD art, Birjo. ':_

I still haven't found the perfect man shape for the character, though... :/

EDIT: the sprinkling is just about the same on every block... though I could make them different with a slight recolor. :/
birjolaxew 14 years ago
  Wow :O I LOVE your old ones :O If I decide to go for a more cute/cartoony style I'll just have to use these. Actually, I think I'll have to go for a cute/cartoony style, because of these! :O Mind = Blown

Only thing I might want edited is the stone. Looks too empty, and the dots too random. Make it look more like dirt, and it's perfect.
demonicyoshi 14 years ago
  grrg, my link stoped working. Ahroo, all you have to do is make the blocks 10 times bigger, and it comes out pixely.
Ahroo 14 years ago
  It seems to be a Bitmap... I save everything as PNG. :/

EDIT: oh, okay. :/
Hexicube 14 years ago
  I just made a solid 16x16 green square in gimp, added noise, then scaled it to 400% in paint...
[edit] ofc, it needs no alpha, but if it did GIMP can make BMPs with alpha :P
Ahroo 14 years ago
  Okay, I've seen it. :/

But YOU have the advantage of making MEGApixels. my pixels are normal-sized. :p

EDIT: oh... you saved it as a BITMAP, Not a PNG... D:

What is Pixelized?

Pixelized is a future game, currently being developed by birjolaxew. It's in the development state, and - due to different obstacles - it won't be released to the public before 2011. It will probably go into testing state early-middle 2011.

What's the gameplay?
In Pixelized, the current idea is that you - the player, will be a small pixelated man trapped in a block world. Carrying specific blocks with you (Each block acting it's own way) you'll have to build your way through puzzles. A great example of the whole block concept can be found in the 3D game "Minecraft". Notice, that details can change during the development.

What have you done by now?
As of 17/11/10, I'm fiddling with the BL API, Flash and the basic game. I'll upload a "game" soon, but it won't be actually playable, and therefore I wont add any testers.

What blocks will be included?
A list of the blocks currently planned:
Dirt (Affected by gravity)
Stone (Not affected by gravity)
Mud (Not affected by gravity - Created by dirt blocks, directly touching water)
Ice (Not affected by gravity - Slippery, only available in winter mode)
Snow (Affected by gravity)
Sand (Affected by gravity - Found near bigger areas of water)
Gravel (Affected by gravity - Created by stone blocks, directly touching water)
Undestroyable (Used to block of parts of the level - Can't be placed/mined)

Where will it be released?
Right here, on BonusLevel.

Screenshots
Ahroo made us some game graphic (Great work I must say). I've put them together, to make an example of how a regular map will look while zoomed in.
Example of a map
Any way to keep track of the project?
Most certainly. I've made a blog, located here
