  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

Just found out about this, and thought I'd share the link. I've always loved the idea of collaborative artistic efforts, and hopefully we'll get some proper pixel art action happening again soon on Sumea, but I thought this was really cool.

It's a flash application where anyone can draw on a big mural. They record every brush stroke, so if they see that someone actually made an effort in their piece, they'll store that data seperately so people can view it again as it was being created, stroke by stroke, by the artist.

The paint tools are very primitive though.

Make sure you have the latest version of Flash installed (I think it requires at least v8, but the latest is v9).

I was stuck on that letterbox thing for ages. At first I thought it only let you draw from one dot to another. Bit then I figured it out by accident. I wonder why they put that there with no instructions, probably to stop idiots who just scribble on other peoples work.
