I thought it might be better to put all my games in one place. After my first game I decided I would like to have a running theme that also tells a story and went with my new pixel hero Ace and his adventures. I want to create a series of games but each game being a completely different style of game. So far I have a space shooter, a platform survival, and a retro fighter. I have one more idea but let me know which game style I should add Ace into. The games are on the smaller side because I want them all to work on the microbit v2 in hardware.
the first game sees Ace flying his spaceship in hostile territory trying not to get taken down by aliens
the second game finds Ace on a desolate planet after his spaceship crash lands, and he is surrounded by aliens trying to capture him. Watch out after your score reaches 10 for a surprise
the third game sees Ace was captured by the aliens and was cloned. now he needs to fight for their entertainment and his survival
haha thanks, a lot of the art i have reused and changed a little so i dont need to draw so much, but i like to try and add at least one or two nice splash pieces in each game
thanks im running out of ideas of different styles to do. For the next one I want to do a digging/ mining game called Ace of spades haha, but then Iām out of ideas
Ive been drawing for a long time, so with pixel art I just need to draw worse than I normally do
jks, a good start is to draw out the shape of your character or object in one solid colour so you get the basic shape you want, then add some of the other colours for the bigger parts of your picture, then add shade where you want it and highlights where you want them. then draw in your smaller details and fix up the shading and highlights as you go
most of these big splash pictures took me 3 or 4 attempts that I threw away before I was happy. especially the spaceship, that one took me 4 tries before I found the shape I liked. so dont be scared to throw away some art, each attempt is practice that makes you a little better each time
