Back from the abyss
Posted 16th Mar 12, by Pixelthief  
Great to meet CT at the GDC! Was one hell of a conference, got to see a lot of the indie scene and whatnot, and hear plenty of summits to learn some tips. Speaking of tips, take a gander at some Pixel Art tricks I learned while out there, and I whipped this up today:

I was already finished with past enemies, besides redoing a bunch of graphics, but I needed to fit this guy in desperately. He attacks you by either spraying a sheet of flame up from the ground, or summoning two fire spirits that jump madly around.

I've got about 5 more enemies to go, and then just redrawing a few existing ones, and all the enemies for the game should be complete, a huge milestone for progress!

I love that attacking animation.

That's pretty cool! the only problem that's apparent to me is that his feet/dress goes a lot higher near the end of the animation, making it look like hes suddenly floating (if its intentional, maybe have one of the frames where the dress is between the flying and standing so its a smoother transition)

Oh yeah, no hot spots in animated .gif's, so its hard to line up the images exactly when they're not all the same size. His latter 8 frames are 2 pixels too high in that one.

Thanks!
