Thanks :)
I'm sure I've said this before, but I want this blog to cover all aspects of gamedev, and this definitely counts in my opinion!
And yes. Always stay hydrated!
Well jeez. Sounds like I'm being back into a corner here xD
(Tbh I had had that thought about the limitations of text too)
Well, I hadn't even gotten as far as figuring out whether spritefont or text was the right way to go! There are a couple of nice Google Fonts in a pixel style, so I was going to test those too.
But if you want to send me things, I won't complain!
Well, I know I'm rubbish at this, so I don't have a problem with everyone seeing!
But I do agree, and I think hope it's beneficial for people to see that it's okay to not be the best in the world first time around :)
Glad you're enjoying them! If you ever want to recap the streams, they're available on Twitch for a little while, and then we upload two to YouTube every Monday!
A lot of inspiration comes from existing assets, not going to lie! But I try and sketch everything out on squared paper first, so I know roughly how it should look in pixel form.
Then it's a case of trial and error!
At the moment Piskel - it's free and has a browser app as well as a desktop version.
But I did just pick up Aseprite because it was on sale, so I'm going to give that a go.
YAY! Thanks for the follow!
Oh, I definitely think it'll be a good experience! New skills and all that.
But I will happily accept you as the #1 fan character. It's nice to know the blog will get at least one comment on occasion! 😂
I can't tell if you're being serious in your comments these days :P
I mean it would probably be another 'valuable learning experience' to do a Kickstarter. And yet more trauma for my poor brain!
Just a new thing we're trialling, it's not open for applications just yet! But basically, Skymen makes some great Construct content!
If the program gets to a point where everyone is happy with it, then we might open it up (and give out some more information) :)
Nice!
There are apps that allow you to stream across multiple platforms. I think MobCrush is one, might be worth a look?
Ah, sorry about that! It's hard to work out a good time which suits multiple timezones and coincides with when I'm in the office. The streams will go up on YouTube in full and you can catch up on Twitch if you want to.
Yep! I think on a Monday I'll upload both streams to YouTube. You can also rewatch them on Twitch for 14 days!
When we first started talking about the runtime, we put up a blog about new text features coming to the runtime, typewriter was included in that post!
