Elysian Shadows

I pretty much tell people that they should try to make games based on the history of video games. First pong, then slightly more advanced stuff like maybe Robotron, Defender, Frogger, etc. Then old Atari/NES type games, and on. We look to history to find the way forward... :worship: Those who fail ...

I just think artists don't tend to hang around the game dev communities as much as coders do. You might have more luck at TIGsource, or at an actual spriter's community.

well here is my progression pickin sticks -> small platformer -> shmup -> top down shooter -> (in progress) top down racer i have also made some 3d stuff and a few map editors and stuff like that Pickin sticks -> Shmup -> Other (80's) arcade-style game -> Platformer -> Rpg is what I would usually s...

I've updated the site to have a Requests table for users to submit what kind of art they need, and for meandering bored artists and composers to get ideas for Open art to contribute to the site.

Sweet 8D

I also have links to other pages at http://openart.moosader.com/links.php5

I've set up a makeshift page for asset contributions if anyone happens to have spare art/music they'd like to share. Ryan Pidgeotto has contributed something, as well as Des Tomate and one of my Finnish game devver friends.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that. I'll do such things for next sprites, possibly tonight or tomorrow or Friday.

I've been moving a few pages off of my main website and into their own subdomains, since they seem like separate pages anyway. One was the Pickin' Sticks directory ( http://pickinsticks.moosader.com/ ), and now I'm working on "OpenArt" ( http://openart.moosader.com/ ), which will basically...

In my opinion it's good for learning SDL, bad for learning development. His code is not very well organised but he explains the use of SDL well enough for someone to know how to use it by themselves. This is true. I mainly find it as a good reference for "oh yeah, how do I do this again?"...

It's cool to look at everyone else's lists. Maybe they should put a "history" page on their sites. :D
