--I don't know who Seanwes is sorry, I mostly listen to Syrca livetsreams (after the fact) Lean into art, comics are great, and Ninja Mountain
25 Aug 10:38
--Anyone else follow Seanwes and knows some other podcasts about art that shares similar values?
25 Aug 10:23
--Check these out. These aren't as interactive besides scrolling, but pretty impressive http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/4-amazingly...eb-comics/

--yep, one of the other guys is a pixel artist, and said he's happy to mess with whatever I make to get any animation required
25 Aug 10:22
--yeah fair enough, so I would say, make sure you know the elements that will require animation or swapping out, and just have those on different layers, easy to change/adapt.
25 Aug 10:22
--gonna be a learning curve! Good thing they aren't too fussy, this is their first time, so happy enough with my current poor art skills
25 Aug 10:21
--at this stage they just want me to make some figures, with changable facial expressions, and clothing
25 Aug 10:20
--Well, anything that exhibits motion different to something else on screen might require that. For example in that thing I posted I chopped up my illustration into the various layers and imported into Construct to animate separately.
25 Aug 10:18
--ah.. ok, so pretty much everything will need to be built on a seperate layer
25 Aug 10:11
--Well you have to just have anything that needs to exhibit movement as different layers in the engine, so you have to design and illustrate those. Anything that requires animation needs to be built in as sprites. I mean it really depends on what you want? It sounds like you need to have more meetings with them and figure out what assets you need?

--oh ok...this is Construct 2....just a test: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9451...index.html

--I'm not scripting it, I have a friend and a relative over in the netherlands who are putting a game together, and want me to do the art
25 Aug 10:04
--Punk, you can look into HTML5 game platforms like Construct 2 perhaps? I played with it a little while back because I have this idea for exactly that, a motion comic/game. It seemed to be a good engine. You would have to script eventually of course.

--Are there any good tutorials on how to go about making assets for games - specifically creating characters for visual novels with moveable layers? Anyone done anything like that and got some pointers?
25 Aug 08:14
--I PM'd you Amit. And please don't trouble yourself because its not that important!

--I have a copy of that edition Irish, PM me if you want to arrange me shipping it to you.

--id just rather a hard copy cus i don't like reading books on my computer screen.
25 Aug 05:35
--theres lots of anatomy books that are probably more helpful than a few articles in a magazine
25 Aug 04:48
--Yeah I would kill for a bunch of old issues for cheap. But yeah, they're hard to find.
25 Aug 04:35
--yeah they are hard to come by. I might buy a subscription when the next set of issues come out.

--I have been hunting for as many as I can get my hands on forever. I even tried Ebay. Darn expensive things.
