What's everyone working on? (tigsource inspired)

That looks really difficult.

Yes.

Yo!! This is today's progress on Stifu's and mine project.
Zabuyaki is an old school beat 'em up game.

PS We're looking for a nice music artist.

Saving and loading is a go! I'm slowly adding the necessary features to make basic levels.
I've been streaming gamedev on Twitch.tv, because it helps me focus when I know I'm live (and might get me a little publicity).

Awesome, I love the stickiness of the goo

I think I might have gone overboard on the presentation of my prototype whatever it is I've been playing with. But oh well. Here's a preview of what I've been doing. I'll make a video in the next few days. You'll probably enjoy it.

Compare it to the last video I made. Programmer art!

Ok. Just added a very first shader to colour Player 2 in blue colours.

My step dust particles look strange. Could anyone help me with them?

They look too round-ish, and probably would look better with less alpha. Other than that, put some dust when the guy falls on the floor, so it adds some impact to it

In this video, dust always spawns directly below the center of the player's sprite, so it looks like a little white spot between their feet.Try making it spawn behind the player when they are running, instead of underneath them.

I think it would also look better if you offset each particle on the x/y axes with random numbers. More deviation on the X-axis makes the effect look wider, Y makes it taller etc.

And try playing with your variables like particle size, alpha, movement etc.

thank u guys. yup. u r right.
but the particles are glued to the player sprite... (for some other effects)
i'd like to have particles for the game screen... But then i lose Z-index

now i think, i can make stuff with shaders.
