O.M.G that bunny costume reminds me of... well nothing actually ''but'' that wolfs head looks like Jon Talbain but without the body, and the graphics ''um'' Sonic mixed with Ghost'n'Goblins!

Take care all!

[url=#user_comment_142570]@Tkun[/url]: I would be quite okay with that! But it's up to Jo...

Your should make the next one just three giant pixels.

(continuation)
So it would be better if Jo make the art and give ideas and leave the coding to people who already know how to make games.
Tkun

@Andrew Hall: That would be a better solution. If Jo were to make the game himself not only it would overload him, probably would have a lot of problems (I don't think Jo knows how to program) and his fanbase is very hard to please (and very easy to upset)

[url=#user_comment_142543]@erthkwake[/url]: Even better would be if Jo did the art and the fan community developed it for him in GameMaker! #imdown

I would totally be down to help make a Nerf Now! game using GameMaker. Anyone up for this?

I hate how every damn retro style indie game introduces completely fucking pointless giant fucking pixels.

Its 2012, give us 32bit sprites already. It does not take any more effort, just more of the plentiful system resources.

@"my psn: shadowsfall" "How many times has the internet been hacked"

Considering how vague this question is, it's unanswerable. Though, if you're referring to the core DNS servers which are *the* pinnacle of the internet Domain Name System, that would be zero times.

To be fair, UT3 on the PS3 supports mods; it's one of very, very few.

I'm sorry. Sony has good security? Excuse me as I go laugh to death as they get hacked 24/7. Go back to school, kid. :D
Besides, the PS3 is an over-glorified Blu-Ray player.
PC wins for one AMAZING reason.
Mods. Bam, /trolling.

Touhou games are addicting, forget any of the fan stuff. You play for hours memorizing patterns hoping to be lucky enough to avoid entire screens full of bullets and hope you don't look away or even blink, lest you die. Subterranean Animism is probably the hardest and thus most addicting.

You know, it's pretty obvious your trolling, perhaps you could dial it down a notch and be a bit more subtle about it.

also 2/10 for making me respond.

Wait, what?!?! You where just accusing PC gamers of thieves last thread yesterday by downloading games illegally yet it's all of a sudden not stealing if it's on a console off a stolen account and not a torrent? What your doing is not like piracy, but worse because your stealing from legit customers
My psn: shadowsfall
almost 12 years ago
You going on about your retarded brothers accunt again huh? butthurt much? also downloads are not disks so its not stealing. sony should thank me for keeping retards off the ps3.
Jedi Master Zoiberg
almost 12 years ago
It's also comedy gold that someone who scams kids out of their psn accounts is trying to accuse all us pc users of being pirates and leeches on the industry. Yet you steal psn accounts and not only steal from other people, But lose sony business by steering people away from sony's platform.

Touhou definitely counts. Its probably why the fanbase is so insane. God, the fanart, the fanpairings... THE PORN.

Kyono: A) Minecraft isn't indie anymore. 2) Even if they hadn't been bought out,everyone's played it,so,yeah,not indie that way either. Finally,one good game doesn't make a genre. You need more than that.
Freezestar
almost 12 years ago
Not all indie games look like that. What about Braid and Bastion, 2 games praised for their good graphics. I think if you make a game, you should make it look like your art, not some retro game.

Jo seems to be misunderstanding the difference between using larger pixels to accommodate the hand-drawn pixel art, and just applying a pixel-enlargener to your prerendered graphics.
Alex

There is a subtle, but essential difference between pixel art and pixel soup.

Thats a good pic of engie. Cute.

Anyways, Indie games, BAH! A poor excuse for a game genre. I get that they are made from people working their way up in the industry and we should support by buying their games but the damned thing has become a "genre" Now we have "indie-gamers"

What about Binding of Isaac?
The whole game screams of retro and indie yet the pixels are quite sharp.
On the other hand it runs like ass because flash players can't handle the complex incantations of more than 10 things moving on the screen.

I'd like to see an indie game that's good.

Cod with Doom / Wolfenstein 3D graphics? Also I call out "I think thou dost protest too much" with all you people calling others virgins.

Also yes, I did think of Jackass Rabbit when I saw this too :p

listen all you little virginoobs , if you have any real macho like me you would be unashamed with having a ps3 , even if you had to buy it with money you made by sucking off 37 dicks , which is why im not a virgin btw

You just don't get it, shadow.... 1.Those games are done over their respectful servers and services that have absolutely NOTHING to do with web browsers such as Internet Explorer. 2. I'm pretty sure hacking the whole internet at once is a ridiculous and near impossible concept.

ok obby the molester , how many times has the internet been hacked hmm? how many times has internet explorer or google been hacked rendering world of virgincraft and dungeons and virgins unplayable online?

You want an indie shooter that looks really good? Look up .kkrieger (yes, the dot's part of the name). It's a pretty good shooter... that is only 96K.

Indie = pixels

why no love for vectors?
Deadly Sinner
almost 12 years ago
Indie games do this because they have small budgets, and pixel art is a hell of a lot cheaper to make and animate than detailed, high resolution art.
Mouse
almost 12 years ago
In terms of 2D, indie games are some of the only titles to push higher resolutions at all. Even pixelfad games tend to do everything in high res and just use the overpixelation as a sort of art style choice, like Space Invaders Extreme.
zZzZz
almost 12 years ago
What's entertaining is that one of the bigger focuses in retro-system emulators these days is getting rid of ~pixelz~ by emulating the TV the console was connected to: go look up something like Blargg's NTSC filters >.> (important for some games designed around the limitation, like Lunar 2 SCD)
