it actually works very well, I cheated by using hex^^ but yeah, the AI is the only thing that f***** it up... coms act horrible when it comes to those platforms.... but as a player, it's okayish, no bugs atall, you should try it out^^
Yea, that's what I meant. AI... and other more minor stuff that's more of a personal preference of mine than any objective judgement.
But yea, I'll try it out. eventually. haha.
Not having anyone to play local with and not having a reliable internet connection for online play hurts when it comes to these things.
"I may devour the five continents, and swallow the three seas, but a body with neither wings, nor hands, nor feet, is powerless against the sky."
My stuff:
| sprites | frozen |
1) DO NOT PM ME
2) Go read up on anatomy and proportions online. (google is your best friend)
3) Go read up on pencil sketching-shading.
4) Practice by making FULL character sheets. (Refer to bases and references if you have to, occasionally try doing things from scratch. You have to mix both methods; bases and without.)
5) DO NOT be an arrogant, self-righteous prick when people try to give useful critiques, and ignore the ones who are flaming idiots. (Flaming them back makes you one of them.)
6) Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you're happy, or you think you're good, then start sharing your knowledge with your fellow spriters.
7) Showcase your sprites. At first, do not be discouraged when you don't get any critiques, or lousy/generic critiques. Continue practicing and showcasing your work. With more sprites, it will be clearer what your strengths and weaknesses are, and people may be better able to give you better critique.
Lastly, if you think saying all this makes me an arrogant, self-righteous prick who is too selfish to share his knowledge...
Then I say you cannot recognise wisdom when I've just slapped you in the face with it. (Also, those steps are the same steps I used to get to where I am, I don't know any way else to truly learn.)
Unless you think its worth my time, go F*** yourselves. I'm not going to bother to even reply to PMs like "can you help me make this character?" anymore.

Ah, tomcwy did Wraith? cool... though I think he released it under a different name?.. since I didn't come across him as "tomcwy" until robotical boards. I had no idea it was him for quite a few years until later myself lol
But yes... people refer to innovation mostly when talking about notable Data Changers, because many people can recreate. However, when talking about taking everything else into account including gameplay, feel, AI, bugs, YinYin remains the sole top dog of the food chain (he's already among the list innovators anyway). Fantasy Leaf comes a close second I'd say.
