RE: Status of the engine - ThePortalGuru - 07-30-2012
Do you think a design doc might be a good thing to create to organize all of the current design ideas into one place? If people know what they actually need to work on, I think things would go much smoother. Also, I'm really hoping that a new engine might create at least some incentive to do things.
RE: Status of the engine - Ton - 07-30-2012
Sure. A lot were never started on, and if you look at the topics, the ones with asterisks were the "top priorities."
I think I'm gonna have a second look at that roster and hack some people off as well. BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT.

Ton, I tried those two programs and they didn't really work too well for me : x
BUT, luckily I Baegal shared some of his magic programs with me. I'm gonna try them out.
Hopefully I can bring this project on track. I'll even go to the extent of revamping some things. These programs should honestly make me sprite animations 2x faster

These are such exciting times I can't even
RE: Status of the engine - Ton - 07-31-2012
This is great news!

Star, if those programs are the magic ones that you're looking for, do you mind letting me know what they're called? I'm not necessarily all that good at spriting animations, so by the time I finally think I've got something nice, I have to go through all sorts of perils to test it in 'unfreez'- only to find out that I screwed something up and need to repeat the process. I'm just thinkin' that maybe these programs can help me out a little bit.

HMM...NAH.
I'm gonna be one of those asshole artists who don't share their knowledge with others.
jk.
It's actually GraphicsGale haha. I didn't realize that program does exactly what I was looking for when it came to animations. I always overlooked it and never gave it a shot.

It takes a lil getting use to though, but the real time animation is a big thing for me because I was doing that same method for animation like you are doing.
And here's a lil guide to help you out. http://pietepiet.net/random/galeguide.pdf

Oh, that makes things easy.
RE: Status of the engine - Tarvonas - 08-02-2012
Awesome! Thank you so much!
A little part of me died inside when I read that first bit though xP
