Character Concepts/Art
« on: December 28, 2011, 12:43:44 PM »

I feel kinda' awful that I haven't really followed up with my offer to do the robotic dog's art. >.<
I was just wondering, though, where Shadow Wolf was at and what everyone's doing, now...
I don't think I've seen much communication between the two main makers of this game, lately...
So...
What's going on, now? :P

Should I go ahead and redraw the dog (since I lost the original concept piece I draw and liked... somewhere... haha... I blame moving.)
If so, are there any suggestions/requests for how that's done?
Dragyn was talking about how, at higher levels, maybe it should have the ability to shoot fire. He said something about a canon from it's chest. But I was making a slightly different-looking concept than he had originally thought, I guess (more skeletal-like). He seemed to like it, but it looks a little lighter than something with a chest-cannon should, I think. :P
So maybe it should shoot fire from it's mouth, or something?

I got a job and a girlfriend, so time is tighter than it was before.

Plus my computer dies, and while most of our work was backed up on DW's machine, I lost all my works in progress. I had daily backup software, but I never used it.

So that's why it seems like it's been a long time since I posted any news about new sprites.

Yeah. I figured on the job and girlfriend thing, and wondered about the dead computer. :P
It's understandable. I jus' figured I'd poke and see on the forum, here, where both you and Dragyn could see/talk about it.

I've stopped actively working at SW itself.  I've realized that I don't want to get too far into the engine, until I have a better grasp of netcoding, or I'll just be rewriting the whole thing (again) to allow for non-local multiplayer.

That said, I'm at something of a standstill with my networking experiments, due to the relatively limited number of computers I have at my disposal.  I really need to start using both computers for that whenever I get the chance.

Yes our netcode-fu is pretty weak, so we've been spending most of our code time of separate
 projects that are mostly just an excuse to play with network sockets.

FWI this is old news.

SW is finaly back in production after months of hiatus.

I live in a different state now, due to work and marirage and all that kind of stuff, so logistics and communication are harder than before, but we're getting back on track.

Current plan is the get some of the level designs worked out, so what I'll probably be making next is backgrounds and prop objects, art-wise.
