Hi everybody, unfortunately I had no time joining the discussion about the Super Tux project last night -- currently I'm busy reading the LOG. I'd really like to contribute to the game by doing some GFXs as I find it a brilliant idea to have a cute'n'good looking arcade-style Jump'n'Run under the GPL. I've just tried to draw a small 32x32 penguin -- also tried to animate the thing a bit ... and ok: it's far from finished now -- anyhow, if you want to have a look: http://www.phreakzone.com/tmp/tux_small.png As I've only just joined the mailing list (is there a history anywhere?) my first question is: what's the general 'style' of the super tux graphics? Is there some kind of guide lines e.g. 'we want graphics in the style of Super Mario Bros.' or 'it should be comic-like with a black outline' ... ??!?!

YoshiIsland style keys, but instead of keys a character or something like that). Havn't thought to much about this, but it might be interesting. > As I've only just joined the mailing list (is there a history > anywhere?) my first question is: > what's the general 'style' of the super tux graphics? Current style to target looks like this: http://super-tux.sourceforge.net/milestone1/images/supertux-gamescreen.jpg Improvements however are welcome. -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ JabberID: gr...@ja...

I'll have to try and kinda "immitate" some things of the current style --- the sketches that I've seen look really cute! :) Is there a way to contribute (possible) graphics/sketches by sending an e-mail to someone/someplace ? Though I must admit that my idea of a Super Tux does not fit the general concept I've done 2 more frames, also my checkbox, the back arrow and the small tux-life.png might be interresting: --> http://www.phreakzone.com/tmp/supertux.html Benjamin Jung -- -- -- ICQ: 50371063 IRC: litespeed @freenode |

Decided I'd take a few minutes in-between papers to try and get some work done for the game... didn't have enough time to do the sprites, so I decided to pull up a few more character concepts. I dunno if either of these are helpful, but take a look anyway: this could be a standard walking enemy.... or a boss... or perhaps the baby of a boss? I dunno. Maybe you have better ideas. http://lingocomic.com/gfx/goodies/crummich.png I was just doodling, but this seems to fit the style of the game pretty well... the only problem? It looks too much like a good guy. Do we have any use for any other good guys? http://lingocomic.com/gfx/goodies/critterhead.png I dunno. Just trying to create some concept art that will be easy enough to make into sprites later. Tell me what you think.... I'm also looking for suggestions. The only other suggestions I can remember are a spider and a yeti. Any others? Christopher Allan Webber | The bottom line |

Just my opinion, but OH PLEASE NO! I hated that guy in the SMB games with such a passion that my SNES controller trembles when I start one of those levels. I'm surprised it hasn't broken yet...

I'm surprised it hasn't broken yet... I kind of know that feeling =:) However if it is destroyable and doesn't respawn (as it did in some levels...), it is a fun oppenend, especially since its almost impossible to jump on him, so that one need alternative ways to kill it (hit with an ice-block, etc.). -- WWW: http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/ JabberID: gr...@ja...
