Blank window!

Well, I guess you have to start somewhere:


I have to get working on the tile code, game state system, and some other stuff.

Now, the game world will have several different areas, and several different tile sets. This means walking into a new area will load a new tile set.

The first area I'm going to work on is the human colony town. I'm planning to get to work on NPCs after I finish the map code, so I figure this is the best place to start with.

Oh, that reminds me, I have to actually draw stuff...not my strong point[grin]

You really should go around to some of the Pixelation forums and show off your previous games and ask for pixel art to make your next game better. There are literally hundreds of angry sprite artists waiting for an opportunity to contribute sprites to a successful game author like yourself.

It's like, how much more black could this be? and the answer is none. None more black.

Damn. I should not have missed a chance to make that reference. Now I'm going to be looking through the threads all day to make a "it goes to 11" reference.

That sounds like a good idea. I was planning to get an artist for this project after I do some work with placeholder graphics.

I'm going to be drawing the placeholder graphics with Inkscape and a graphics tablet, though.

Spinal Tap is awesome I have to agree! Weren't they talking of making a Spinal Tap 2 recently...

You know you've made it in journal land when you can post an all black window and get 6 posts... ;)
