Once again, I felt like compiling a font I made into a sheet.
Why? So YOU can use it and modify it, and so you won't get sued by Monotype for using Arial in a commercial project.
Well, this might give you an idea of the kind of scope my cutscenes will go.
I probably should hire voice actors, but I think I'd rather do what I can without money first.
The way her telescopic arms work has always been fudged in-game and in art, so I'm wondering if I should animate Pinafore cleaning the family portrait with this sprite-chain arm.
Shocking.
Positively shocking.
Still doing cinematics.
It still requires a lot of drawing of new assets, and I just put in that Mode 7 effect for later cutscenes.
First, I hand-draw it and ink it with a felt-tip pen. Then I scan it, making an HD image. Then I save it as a 16-color BMP, then clean it up and crop it. Then I add color and transparency effects.
For games, I shrink the HD version for the game's window.
Strangely enough, of all the games I've made .exes of, this is the one that STILL works on my current computer. And sometimes, I realize I made some poor decisions in game design with this one.
As the first major cutscene, I have to show the scale without going crazy with drawing too much.
As such, these two DemoBots up front do a bit of acting, and we never see them again.
Concept art time!
Early on, Tiel had a backpack because in the fic she was originally created for, she was going on an adventure along with Rick. That's why I was kinda attached to her.
Well, I was looking through some old files, and found some cool stuff.
