Hi I'm new to the forums I've been hanging out at the irc lately and I thought I'd show you what I've been working on.It's a real-time fighting arena style game with health bars,movement and a simple attack system.It's powered by xlib.Screenies should be coming soon.

Here's the screenies.

I need some help with sprites 6*8.I need better fighters and enemies.

I like these sprites. I'm sure they would also do pretty well in some kind of strategy game, with the energy bar at top and all

I think Imageshack is down atm. They arent very reliable for image hosting these days, altough I prefer Imageshack to photobucket

Does the character can equip multiple weapons? Due to the nature of the engine, I think it would be cool to have techniques, like sword techs. Maybe main attack should be stabbing in one direction, second attack slashing (would hit all enemies to your left, right and in front of you), another attack could be some kind of lighnign bold you throw at the enemy (would attack everything straight forward) and maybe a spell to attack from anywhere on the screen

So the game is something like a Megaman Battle Network? If so, I'd suggest having attacks that hit diffrent patterns of squares like the various sword attacks in that game.

it looks good, you know what i think would be cool? having a couple rocks or obstructions around to provide cover and somesuch.

oooh awesome, for some reasons the graphics reminds me Ultima for calcs
