True that.
Especially that car that explodes. That explosion is so incredibly well made.
I’ve analyzed it more than once, and I’m a pretty experienced pixel artist, but I just don’t know how they did it. It must have taken a huge amount of time to make.
Considering the size, and the fact that pretty much every image is a redraw, I’d say that a SINGLE frame takes about a good 4 hours to make. Of course there were probably some liberties taken, so lets settle for 2/3 hours per frame. Which, with a total of what I think is 20+ frames, still would bring us to around 40-60 hours of work. For something as small as that. I wouldn’t be able to bring up the patience.
But it just shows the dedication, the heart of the project. You can see some real effort went into that. It’s without a doubt the best pixel explosion I’ve ever seen. It’s brilliant.
Link? I seriously doubt any competitive video game studio would allow their artists to spend a week on a single sprite.
I think it’d take a few solid days to make the explosion sprite.
What link?
The only thing I based that on is my 5+ years experience as a pixel artist. I can estimate that stuff well enough, and I expect my guess is pretty close. And I stand by the fact that I think that that explosion indeed took more than one day to make.
For a game that is based entirely around sprites, spending a week to create and polish one of them doesn’t sound unreasonable; it’s basically the equivalent of a character model with limited animation…and I can assure you that creating and animating characters takes a long time…
The initial explosion looks a little weird, but the smoke is good.
^ Agreed.
If you’re going for the realistic type of explosion and not the fiery kind, you should tone down the shockwave a bit. It looks a bit awkward. Smoke is nice though.
Hello there, forums.
Hehe, win. xD
I dun geddit.
Never played Zelda though…
zeldu is blind and its funny because
you know she said like
can you see
which zeödo cant
because he is blind
V. accurate. Disabilities = funnÿ!
THAT PEANUTS A SPY
in retrospect he needs to chew it longer.
alright, I reduced the shockwave effect, uploaded a new vid
Me Likey.
