Ah metal slug ... man that franchise went down the crapper once it went mobile.
very nice there Xerra.

Making some good progress by the look Xerra, while some have gone a bit quiet.  Maybe they're not wishing to show their hand just yet.

That's why I like seeing worklogs go up. Can get an idea of how many people are entering this time. Hopefully a few entries will come up unannounced at the end so we have a lot of games to try out. So far, I think there's only four or five we know about.

First look at the evil tyrant Qube, leader of the terrorist organisation Syntax Bomb. Hopefully he's going to be a boss fight at the end of the platform/gun levels in the game.

This is part of a skippable introduction scene before the game starts. Probably 3 pages or so, which will introduce the back story to the game as a comic book.

Love the comic book look, really works well. You'll get no bonus points for having qube as a boss character though! 

[iWasAdam]

yep. the comic style is well thought out and well implemented Very nice work

Potential thought for you: The text boxes and the info boxes might work better if slightly different colors. say very pale yellow/peach/dust for the box info and pure white for the speech bubbles. that way the speech would remain as the most important

Oh. And uber hugs for the National Socialist Syntax Bomb logo. You get first place for that alone \o/

[Xerra]

Hahah, I wish I could take credit for the comic strip but that's all Blinkok. I didn't even think of it. He just threw it at me randomly as an idea and I have to agree, it's fantastic.

Wait until Qube sees his uber-ginger namesake. If I don't appear again in these forums then you know that his fanatic followers have had me kidnapped

[Steve Elliott]

lol good stuff - just thank/blame Blinkok.

I've enlarged the ban button ready

[Matty]

Re banning....I had a thought you could ban me voluntarily and also block my ip from seeing your site entirely at least until the comp ends...so I don't say anything foolish over the coming weeks...

[Steve Elliott]

...Or just not come here until the competition ends lol...Although SyntaxBomb is far too addictive!   

[Xerra]

Awesome HUD design by Mr Blinkok.

[Matty]

That does look good.

[Derron]

You got a talented artist in your backhand ... think you can feel glad.

Just make his art shine by creating some nicely to play game - maybe he will join forces with you again.


bye
