Jubeh, what program do you use for spriting?

[jubeh]

I use game maker's sprite editor. It's actually really awful but I like to see a preview animation while I'm working on animating. I also use graphics gale but I really don't like it all that much.

[CypressDahlia]

Graphics Gale is p. awesome.

[jubeh]

I will like it more once I'm used to it I'm sure.

If you like to make VN, furthermore if you can use Phyton (but not a must), try RenPy.

[CypressDahlia]

I've seen some really cool games made in RenPy, though the best ones tend not to be free... =_=

[jubeh]

Made a 16x16 bash (magnified obviously). It was a lot harder than it looks.



Still not sure what I'm going to do with him.

You're using GM8 right? Cause I'd just make the graphics in an external program and save them as .png's so it gets the transparency. Better quality. Saves time working with the lame GM sprite ed.

[jubeh]

Im not using transparency because it really makes it hard to use grays and whites and you can't really have better quality pixel work since it's you know, pixels.

[Matt]

Can't you make the background pink or something? The transparency detection makes stuff transparent based on the color of the pixel in the top left of the image--at least from my experience.
