I’ve been working on some stuff. I haven’t quite got the game mechanics sorted out but I have them sorted out enough that I have to start making some design choices. Like why is my guy running or what makes him do things. I have established some rules and I have an idea of what I want to do. But I will get to that in another post. In this post I made a frame of a sprite of what I want to make. I will theoretically make more versions of this to make it look like he is running, and once I do that I have to figure out how to turn it into a sprite, something else I have no clue about. I downloaded Inkscape as my illustrating tool and it seems to work pretty well. I like it but some things are frustrating about it. If you look close enough at my picture you may be able to notice that there are pixel wide white lines between certain blocks on my character. I also haven’t figured out how to make my own “paintbrush” for it, I would like it to be a large square that only fills in where I tell it to. We’ll see how it all works out. overall I think it looks pretty good. Only took an hour.
