Comments on: Gunpoint: The Setting https://www.pentadact.com/2011-03-31-gunpoint-the-setting/ We're back on a default theme because comments broke on my custom one and I don't have the energy to figure out why Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.1 By: GraemeMor https://www.pentadact.com/2011-03-31-gunpoint-the-setting/#comment-225100 Wed, 06 Apr 2011 12:24:27 +0000 http://www.pentadact.com/?p=2868#comment-225100 I created a sample of the Crosslink screen here:

And I added a 2nd variation of the Killer, Guard and Amoured guard here:

Now to get back to some characher animation!

It’s not 100% there but there’s no point in getting too anal at this stage.

Love the glossy embossed feel to your work there.

The main guy, the guard, an armoured guard and the pro killer…

Fun little exercise for me, but I don’t think it’d be practical once you started animating. :)

So I had some fun and did this quick character sketch:

I’ll download it and play it anyways, but if you were to put it up on the app store for .99 cents, it would be worth more than that to me to have a solid ipod game that isn’t angry birds :V

It looks like the pneumatic hypertrousers are malfunctioning.

I don’t envy you the task of picking from these submissions, Tom.

Did it take long? I bet with the rain it would be fairly easy to have it repeat without to much trouble. I am telling you guys with all the stuff thats been posted here there is no reason we can join forces, if Tom is into it. either way, this has been a blast.

Still, looks awesome!

The green glow could be a night vision yes. I wanted to give the protagonist a striking and mysterious ‘thing’. Besides his totally inconspicuous coat and hat of of course. I am not sure if it works.

Anyway, made this quick background. Because the characters are quite small, a lot of personality can be given to the city and environment. I’ll try my hand at some random office building next..

Although for some reason our hero sitting still with the coat flapping makes Protoman’s theme play in my noggin.

I’ve been animating a bit. The run still needs to be fixed.. the coat doesn’t quite have the smooth animation I’d like it to have. Still, wanted to show what I’ve gotten done so far. I’m also keen on trying some things with the environment..

Both very much work in progress. Also the previews are as .gifs, which for some reason run slower in browsers than they would on my computer. I am keen to hear any feedback from all those who hang around here in the comments ^^

When I get time I can put them on and change the gun to a silver/gray, if it suitable.

Zach, I couldn’t download that – it said I didn’t have permission. Is it set to be private?

Resolution: It has to work at everything from 1024×600 to 1920×1200. It doesn’t resize anything, so at higher resolutions you see more of the level and everything is smaller.

Right now I have an option to run at 950×540 double-scaled, which works if it’s too small for you at 1900×1080 or above.

The 512 size would work for a fb style game or in browser pretty well. but again, I am new at this stuff. If you want I can send along the sandbox i made so you can scale to that?…if you dare :)

But, I have made something in the mean time, a main character. I need to work on the guards next. Let me know what you think so far. i.e. needs more contrast, different colors for coat, etc. Take a look!

I might be wrong here, but if it was at 800 x 600 or whatever wouldn’t everything appear larger yet still keep within the correct dimensions? Currently I’ve been doodling at 1680 x 1050 which makes it all very weeny.

Still iterating, but here’s what I’ve made thus far. I’m trying to see if the more serious side is viable too, as I’ve seen a lot of cartoony attempts. I’ll try some more and then start animating a bit! Fun so far ^^

I recreated the settings in Illustrator using a combination of vector and sprites. I have yet to animate any of this stuff as it looks like we are still in the decision making phase. This is at double size btw 1024×600 If you guys want I can post the native Illustrator file for a sandbox, since this is looking more and more like a group effort :)

Mind you, that’s partly because they had names and ranks, not sure if that could be shoe-horned in.

It’s been odd to see the development curve of “I’m getting into programming” to an actual, working (pretty slick) prototype of something that I want to play.

The style direction is pushing all the right buttons for me too. Hitman cum Blade Runner with a hint of Batman. Lovely.

So yeah, I’m shoving this next to Subversion, Monaco and Spy Party on my list of “indie games that I very much want to get my hands on”

And with you saying you didn’t want to see the face I wondered if you could do that type of character in a 20-30 pixel high range. The answer is you can, but it’d be bloody difficult to maintain once you started animating. :)

Would be cool though; switching between an outdoor silhouette sprite set and an indoor lit set.

Hypertrousers have provided the answer.

I recently read about Gunpoint and saw the video. And I’ve got to say.. I am thrilled! I realize I might be a bit late but I’ll try to chip in with some of my art suggestions and animations as soon as I finish them. It’d truly be an honor to make the art for this game.

The guards may not have much character, but how about the buildings and city? Will they all be offices or will missions also take place in houses / shops etc.? Or are you keen on having assets that could be placed in any building?
