[GillPup]

How do you know where to start? Do you look at actual surfaces to see where things like the reflection and shine should be? Or is it all from your head?

[FrankieSmileShow]

Its sort of the other way around: I keep in mind an imaginary point (or multiple) in space where light shines from and place light down on the surfaces from that vague idea, and I improvise on the results, and if something ends up looking wrong I can always correct it (pixel art especially is easy to correct and edit since you have less colors to worry about, there's very little "cleaning" involved)

[samthorn10]

What software is this man ?

Looks great !

[alisdarkdem]

@samthorn10 i think it is graphics gale but im not sure

[hibbahotel]

Great !

[bubbleproductions]

that's pretty awesome, but i was wondering what program do you use to make it?

thanks

[aptennap]

I'm guessing it is Graphics Gale...

[alisdarkdem]

@aptennap yeah im pretty sure it is

[inricheetos]

This is good, do you use a tablet or just a mouse?

[FrankieSmileShow]

For pixel art, I use a mouse. I don't see the need of a tablet with it since you don't really need to do careful shapes and lines, just clicks. For my drawing though I use a tablet.

Hey Frankie how should i fix the picture that something look better than the small picture i mean i m about to reszie my pic into a bigger size and it seem sloopy and mess. just need help if u know how to make the bigger size look better than the small size.

[FrankieSmileShow]

mmh you mean like, the pixels get blurred when you stretch the picture up? There should be a "quality" choice somewhere, or a "smooth" checkbox? It depends on your program. Graphicsgale has a "Smooth" checkbox in the scaling menu. Both of these smooth pixels when the images are stretched. Try turning these features off.

[tyronematrix]

Um yea that wat i think about that.

[oPsFizziX]

Can I ask what programming language the game is being made in, just out of curiosity?

[FrankieSmileShow]

I am making this with Game Maker, a program that uses a scripting language called "GML". Its a pretty neat piece of software, it handles lots of things for you while giving you lots of freedom in what you design, but the language being interpreted rather than compiled, the games made with it are relatively slow...

I'm sure you've heard this before, but you're getting way cleaner with the all the old Frankie awesomeness. Love it! <3
