Hello, I am Diovani and I am new here.
Before starting a project in Platform Builder, i want to know about the policy for imported sprites.
Can I to use sprites from NES/SNES games to created a game in PB, giving the right credits for the sprites?
Exemple: Using Zelda II (NES) sprites in Platform Builder.
I want to know it because I have some ideas for games but I don't want to cancel a project because I am not allowed to use others games sprites.
-
Sorry! Nothing from Nintendo is allowed unless they gave it to us to use. Which... I don't they've given anything. I'm not the best graphic artist, but I think I can help you with sprites. Certain games like Zelda aren't my thing. So, if you want Zelda, you can look somewhere else. I can make Mario sprites if you need, and Mario games are easy to make if you know what to do.
-
Thanks to inform me about this. Yes, Mario Games sprites are easy to do, because their simple. I don't have much talent with sprites creation, but I will it give a chance. Thanks for the help. If I need help with sprite creating, I will ask you. ^^

Games with copy-written resources are not permitted to be published through Platform Builder or myself. But I don't really care what you choose to make on your own and share with others.

Understood! I believe I can create something... I am not that good creating sprites, but I can try draw in a paper and then recreate my drawing.

That looks better than I could do! I think you do have art in your blood... Unless someone else made that.
-
I did that. I drew the first one using a pencil and I scanned the drawing. Then, I used Corel Draw to make the 2nd drawing, I colored it to make the 3rd one and then changed a little bit to make the 4th one.
I work with Corel Draw, so it's hard for me.
-
I had a feeling that's the process you did to do that. It's pretty good art for someone who thinks they aren't good with graphics. I think you could learn to be a good graphic artist. I use paint.net. Occasionally I use Game Maker Studio 2.

here's my advice - take your scanned drawing to a picture editing software (that supports layers), lower its opacity and crop it (character sprites are 48x48 if I'm not wrong). then draw over it on a new layer with a pixel brush, then refine.
-
Not bad!

That's a good idea. Thanks.

Who cares what people think. If it looks good, use it. It would look better than some of the default tiles anyway ;)

It's not about what people will think, but if I will be able to share my game here on PB Forums. I will probably use some original sprites made by me, but I will also use some modified sprites.

Still working on my character...

Not bad! Usually I can make a character sprite sheet in 1 day. Sometimes 2 days.
-
I made this modified sprite. It's basically a 8-bit version of my mage.

Looks pretty good!

That's pretty good. I'm very bad at writing and drawing xD
