I vote Clock Stopper

Appearances, by Jason Reed. Stone kingdom?

The vote is over everyone! Happy december!

Anyway here are the results:

Glasshopper - 7
Clock Stopper - 6
Thief of time - 4
5GLASS - 2
The final hourglass 1
Stolen Time - 1

Seems like Glasshopper is the winner, and that shall be our collabs name! At least for now..
I am saying that just because we are still starting out, and we might some fiddle around with things like that.

Anyway, so the holiday season has started, you may work on the game if you want, but I recommend taking a break. I will check the forum everynow and then and maybe post something, so I'll be here if you need me!

(name chosen 1.12.2018)

Also, I want to say thank you to everyone in this collab, so far the journey has been amazing, lets keep that up next year also!

Enjoy and see you all next year!!

DECEMBER UPDATE!

I have set up basic dialogue and menu system that has load/save capabilities!
Here is a demo video: https://youtu.be/aE5-Mja6tLw

It is possible to change the color and position of the text as needed and its not hard to add more features as needed. Though the dialogue is a bit hard to code, I'll manage.

When we are ready to advance next year, we're going to need to start working on the tiles for wood kingdom, so we can work on the levels. Also we need some menu sprites and decide, how we are going to deal with moving between different levels.

I would love to participate in play testing.

Nice, though I think the text could be a bit bigger.

I could work on some backgrounds for the wood kingdom, though I don't know what kinds of sizes you'd want and I don't have the software to do a good looping background currently.

Sure! We just need to get few levels up and working first though, if you follow this topic and remind me, I'll send a game to test later..

Sure! I'll just up the font size and make sure everything is still lined up

Sure! In pixel or traditional? For pixel art you could use Piskel. Just remember to change the sprite size.

Lets see.. I actually have no idea either, there is many different ways to do it, we could do a tileset that we'll just place down manually. I actually havent worked with backgrounds before, so we'll gotta do some research…

But if you want, you could do the background for the main menu! the size is 800x600 pixels.

I'm only really experienced in traditional, so that's what I'll be doing. However, I think it might look a bit weird against a pixel foreground. We might need to test it or something.

Yea, thats what I was thinking.
But if you want to sketch something, how about storyboard for the first cutscene?

Oof, I would, but I've been doing a ton of storyboarding in school and I still have more to do so I'm a bit sick of it rn. I could design some enemies or something if you want.

I can do story-boarding. I know I'm the pixel artist but I can do my own and add it here.

I might be able to make a few rough sketches for one

guess what i haven't slept since yesterday morning and it's 5 am

Happy new years everyone! It is time for the revive, so lets see what we need to do next:

Make tiles, backgrounds, characters and level designs for wood kingdom.
We also need to decide how the level select is going to work.
Art for the main menu, like these buttons:
New game
Load game
About
Quit

Then we need a logo and a background for it also.
