General Discussion / EXPLORE SECTION

« on: October 08, 2018, 12:16:31 AM »

Hello PB users.
I am having a problem with the Explore Section since I begun to use PB a month ago. Every time I enter in Explore, I am unable to find any game...

I made this modified sprite. It's basically a 8-bit version of my mage.

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.

Could we do steam chat? (Hopefully you read within 5min of posting...)

Not now, sorry. I am at class now.
I have class between 10 PM to 12 AM (for me, it's 7 PM to 9 PM)

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.

That's a good idea. Thanks.

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.

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.

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. ^^

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.

So when you get it, we can talk through steam and I can help you. Do you have an unlocked account? (I don't.) We could do a group chat I think...

I sent you a Steam friend invitation.

You can make a Mario like game with PB. I can teach you. It takes a bit of PB knowledge to know how to create workarounds.

This would be great. I will probably take some time to learn how to use PB before starting a project, and having someone to help me is always a good thing.
