While the Kirby game sprites look nice, and while we're probably sad to see Kirby not being worked on, let's keep this topic related to Keoni and his sprites/sprite requests.

Thats right


Can you help me make a title screen for my game in progress, RoboGun?

If you look at its current title screen in the gif, you'll see its really lame
Okay I'll see what I can do for you :) You want a certain fade-in/out effect or animation?

:D
I was thinking of having something that includes a gun in the title screen... Maybe one of those alien dudes too.
Hmm I'm not very good at guns :( I'll do my best!

Keoni, you are champion at pixel art.

No truer words spoken

Keoni, the robot should actually be about as big as humans.  So 32 x 20 like the humans are :)  The idea is humans are not having too hard of a time winning the battle.  I was also imagining robot movement by walking rather than hovering.
Then use the humanoid robot sprite for the humans (in sci-fi armor :3)
So the aliens should be as tall as humans, but not humanoids. That's very hard you know since all standing creatures that walk on 2 legs are humanoids :P

I wish I had a dithering fillbucket and other dithering tools. It's a pain to do it all by hand:P
There's ways to do that in some programs...with Paint.NET there's something built in and in GIMP it's possible to make textures..

So you do it all manually?  Amazing O.O
Yes all by hand. I know that photoshop has pattern support too, but I like to work with paint. Maybe I should work with photoshop more often.

Hey, Keoni, I have a request:

Can you make a title screen for Lights Off? It can be 4-shade grey, and have the options "Level select," "Load," "Stats," "Achievements," and "Quit."

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance ^^
4 shade gray. Wow that is gonna be awesome. You want a scrolling background with a texture?

People that's enough requests for this weekend XD

If you like my work: why not give me an internet?

Lol, okay.  Let me try again :)  Try a Starcraft II Colossus shrunk down to the size of a human.  Then it walks on 4 legs, is not humanoid, and is robotic.  Although give it some special touches so that it's not an exact duplicate of a colossus :D

Thank you so much, Keoni!

What do you use for the art?  Emulator on computer?  Or directly on the calculator?
You just lost the game.

Just build a monster! Start with the most important feature. In my case the huge eye. When you want it to have a tail or tentacles with a reptilish look pixel individual joints. Claws? Pencil tool and drag the mouse while pressing the left mouse button. Spikes look great on monsters. A few dots can indicate spikes. Eyes dont have to be dots or circles. Use a line or dont draw them when working with this resolution.
