Real

I loved general BBS. Using it had become a habit to use it mainly because it was fun. Now it's gone. Yeah it was full of shitposts and some drama that I don't know or don't wanna be part of. I respects Fulp's decission on shutting it down but I do miss it. Discord doesn't feel the same as BBS general mainly because Discord is a live chat.

I wasn't on the BBS for long (a bit over a year) but the time I was there I was active. I didn't really get to know people either but it's fine.

Guess now I will mostly post my art and Painter Blazer devlogs in here Newgrounds. My DMs are always open even though I doubt anyone wants to send a message.

Good bye BBS general

Just wanna add to this that at least I ended on a high note lmao.

I got the enemy movement to work after a lot of struggles and research. I also updated Blazer's sprite because the old one was ugly and bad.

Introducing a new enemy who will act as the basic back and forth walking enemy, Spyke!

The randomized movement and one by one deletion took damn long to get right.

Next I'll be working on damage, animations and more sprites.

Alright so I think I'm going to start to give out developement updates from time to time on my game Painter Blazer.

So far I have gotten a good chunk of the basic stuff done to have a base for the game such as movement, game logic, platforms, ladder, a few sprites and animations for player (only place holders currently). I need to next figure out what kinda enemies I want to have and how to make them.

Possible level 1 layout. Everything is obviously subject to change and not near finished.

My phone's camera is so bad.

I have been mainly making my game but I wanted to finally start a drawing that i have been thinking of doing for a while. I'm gonna redraw the Crazy Frog Racer 2 loading screen. I'm most likely gonna post each of the characters as seperate drawings till I'm doone with the whole redraw.

2 out of 15 is sketched.

So the last few (like 4 or so) days I have been learning a lot about GDevelop. I managed to make a test game with all of these features

• Ground
• Go through platform
• collectable coin
• platformer character
• title screen
• end screen
• BG music
• sound effects for different actions

I think I'm ready to start making an actual game. I'm aiming for something arcade like. Inspirations being Wrecking Crew, Donkey Kong, Antonball and De Blob 2 DS. I made a concept sheet for general gameplay and characters.

I have been so in to this that I haven't even started a new drawing.

It's the way to go at least for now since it seems simple and I wanna make some small projects and see if I can create some kinda game(s).

Yes.

I have no idea how to make a video game.

It can't be that hard right?

I've been playing Wario Land 3 since the day it got added to Switch Online and I've been really liking it. It's a fun puzzle open world-ish platformer and a very refreshing after mainly playing 2D Mario platformers.

So hearing that this year will have not one but two Wario like platformers is really cool. Very excited to try out Pizza Tower soon and Antonblast when it releases.

It's nice that Antonblast is gonna have a Switch port so maybe Pizza Tower will have one too.
