Elysian Shadows

Just something to add: Nvie's branching model is one end of the spectrum, while something like GitHub's Flow could be more suitable for some groups.

I ended up redrawing it from scratch again, primarily because I didn't like the way it looked on my device.
I haven't tried to shade this one yet, but it'd be nice if I did considering that's the final icon guideline set by Google (top-lit lighting).

Small update. Didn't like the legs so I redrew them. Now matches the Octocat more accurately.
And, a 512x512 scaled up version:

Gave shading a first pass. I'm following the Android Icon Guidelines and used top-down lighting. Also created this one in 64x64 dimensions.
Critiques?

Pixel art is usually done at small scales ;) Try making it like 64x64 and uploading that here. Also, I tried clicking on your app link but it got caught in a loop in the series of tubes. It was originally done on a small scale. However, the Android Market requires a 512x512 version, then I scale do...

Yeah, it was getting late and it looked cool, so I just kept it. I'm definitely going to try some manual shading later.

This isn't really art for a game, but rather my Android app, Hubroid. However, I thought I'd show it off anyway.
I basically fused Andy and the GitHub Octocat together. This is my first real venture into pixel art, and I don't think I did too bad. :3

Damn dude, that is a REALLY polished looking game. Is this Java and OpenGL ES? Thanks. :) We were in a bit of a hurry, so we used AndEngine , which itself uses Java and OpenGL ES. It's a nice engine that makes it easy to start working directly on the game instead of the foundation. I'd still like t...

Just an update, Gerk the Gherkin has been released to the Android Market! I've updated the first post as well. Please take some time to check it out! :D

Ah, well it's not out just yet, but we're really pushing to get it out tonight. If not, it'll probably be out tomorrow or something.

Thanks though.

Checked it out when you posted the link in IRC. Made it to Wave 24 when the game froze on me.

Still though, given that I was upset when it froze, it shows you how much fun I was having. Great work.

Just wanted to give an update on Gerk the Gherkin. We're planning to release this Friday. It would have been last Friday, or even two Fridays ago, but we decided to hold off because we felt it wasn't polished enough. Here's some screenshots with some newer features: slicedgrater.png The first level ...

However you want to look at it, that's how I intend on doing things at the moment (extending through Lua). Wait, I'm confused. I thought you were going to implement your behaviors via function pointers now - hence a behavior is simply defining an entity as having access to some function that will &...

I've just recently ran into this rather annoying issue, and it has basically halted any further progress on my engine. In my lua script, I set a variable x to equal a value: x = 3 Then, in C/C++, I try to access that value: lua_getglobal(m_luaState, "x") g_console->WriteLine("x: %d&qu...

In my system, there would never be a "collision response" component. Whatever behavior is checking for collisions (if I have the behaviors doing that all, that might even be handled elsewhere), should fix the entity's position (if the entity collided with a solid object), and execute the ...
