well im working on it like hell, just finished this stupid gravity (i mean for the new game).

if you are interested, here is a small video:

Cool!

In case, that you could add more greyscaling, you had the chance to include a 3D environement!

dont worry, i use more greyscale to get 3d environement (at least for the backgrounds). i also blur objects in the background depending on their distant. looks quite nice ^^

Looking very cool Kihaku! Keep up the good stuff.

One thing I noticed is that the rotation is slightly off at certain angles, perhaps try tracing a bit further in front of the player (depending on it's direction a bit more to the right or a bit more to the left of the center of the player).

I think this could 'fix' the fact that the player is facing too much downwards when almost getting of a slope (like near the end of the movie). There's a bit of a delay I think that could be fixed with tracing 1 or 2 quants in front of the model and check that normal, perhaps interpolate between the normal received at the center of the player and in front of the player?

I don't believe in this sort of self-motivation.

In this case faith and confidence play a huge role, if you don't believe in self-motivation, then self-motivation won't work. Sounds like a cliché maybe, but it's a psychological thing.

"lazyness" is a result, not a reason!

If you tell yourself it's a reason, a reason it is. But I don't think Kihaku is actually lazy, because he seems to have little trouble producing something. Not finishing something is usually not lazyness, but lack of motivation. If you were lazy, you wouldn't have started eventhough you knew your ideas are awesome!

Cheers

yes you are right, i was trying to find a solution too, but my interpolation didnt work that well. i will try out scanning it a bit further, this should solve the problem as well. it still needs some finetuning so the movement will be nicer.

Just wanted to mention that i handed in Angelas World to the Spring Contest. I also sent Halloween Worm, well, i think both games are "too small" and i saw some really cool casual games lately. Let's see how far i come

Does someone know when the forum is able to test the games to rate them?

I really like the shadow puppet style of Angelas World, I think its an artistic style which really creates a dark fairy tale atmosphere and a style that I cant remember any game using. Keep up the good work and more of this style please.

Also, if you have not seen them before, check out Michel Gagne's "Insanely Twisted Shadow Puppets" animations. A game with that kind of animation would be amazing.

I'm envious, Kihaku-- this game is elegant and original, you have a gift.

wow the movies are amazing O_O My new game is almost the same style as this video, so i can get a lot of new inspiration thanks a lot for showing.

you are too kind to me jetpack im so glad you like my game DD I guess you will like my new game too 8D

it would be cool if it could have a little bit of the locoroco touch. i mean it looks a little like locoroco just dark and black.
so a cute alive world with much action but i think you'll handle that. while most of the things are black you can play with forms and shapes. suprisingly small plants could grow or alter their shape do other things. i'm looking forword to it

Coming along nicely
