  • Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
  • Hey, this is E3 of my new series on everything pixel art! Today we're discussing foundations of making a character for a 2D platform game, putting the previous lessons into practice and deciding what kind of character this is going to be. There are two more character sprite videos coming after this one, turning that concept into a fully detailed first sprite.
    Enjoy!

      the character who uses the love note is REALLY into BL fanfic and just goes around making random guys fall in love with each other

    would be cool to have a video on choosing the "right" pixel size for characters (I saw an interesting 24x24 decision in some titles), and character sprite sheets and their efficiency (splitting up based on what is likely to appear together on the screen vs a more semantic per-character split, so they are easier to work with and use direcly in the game.

    The human brain is constantly trying to find shapes, patterns and recognizable objects in everything we see. It's the brains built-in survival mechanism. That's why when you look up at a cloud on a cloudy day you can see dogs, cats, cars, etc., etc., in them.

  • @overbyte

    With a 640x360 canvas split into 16x16 tiles gives us 40x22.5 tiles. Is this right or should I aim for whole tile numbers in both directions?

    • @AdamCYounis
      @AdamCYounis  Год назад +1

      I don't believe there are any pixel / tile size combinations that allow you to have whole numbers of both inside a standard 1080p screen. You're either going to have odd-sized pixels or some tiles cut off no matter which scale you choose, and I think the latter is less important. especially if you have a scrolling camera, tiles being cut off some way or another is inevitable.
