Home decorating in space, and the end is nigh!

The first level of the game is now finalized and completed, and the second one is already on the way!  Decorating each level, by creating and placing 3D and 2D objects in it is what really takes up most of the time. But it's also a really fun part because you get to come up with all the stuff that can litter a space ship and then you get to pretend to be some sci-fi themed home decorator gone mental.

Most of the things left to do before we're ready to show a slice of our game att KEON (our schools expo thingie for graduates on june 4), are the levels,  some portraits and a background for the text and polishing up the game mechanics a bit. So we're pretty close!

Until next time! //Mike

Making pixels, and the evil of jaggies

Above is my work in progress of the players walk animation cycle.

Currently it's riddled with jagged edges that I need to clean up. Jagged edges, or Jaggies, form when pixels are out of line and interuppts the flow of the line they're forming. Most notably visible on the legs here.(2) Compare the how the line looks on his hand on (1) wich appear much smoother because the pixels form an uninterupted line.

In other words, I got some cleaning up to do! For more information on pixel art I suggest this forum post on Pixeljoint.  Happy Easter everyone! Mike out!
