[wooden star]

i cant wait for this

now we just need an el tigre game boy fan game

[tawny sorrel]

same square head it could translate well as a template

[wooden star]

btw is there a public build ready?

[tawny sorrel]

nope i keep changing the map design lol

i dont even know how to respond to that question lol

[tawny sorrel]

got me motivated to at least plop in pearls dialogue

one of the final missing scenes

[twin anvil]

I dare you to add this as like a creepypasta/secret inside the game lol

[tawny sorrel]

@twin anvil

well

your wish is my command

[twin anvil]

less goooo

[tawny sorrel]

the level of goofy

this posed to be a meme heavy game so ill put it in the files

let yall figure out what to do with it

spongebob episode maker

[near rose]

lmao love how this turned out

[tawny sorrel]

how does one make low budget animation when clearly the models and all the work involved is high budget tho

[tawny sorrel]

we trying something

pray for me yall i worked on a weekend for this baby

[tawny sorrel]

it looks great for me

its causing tile issues with the other sprites tho

but im sure i can work out the kinks later

today is animation mocks

not at the level of @deep pendant but better than just a 2framer

[deep pendant]

Yo, don't underestimate yourself, this looks great and colorful! For gbc you can't get much better (if any) than that!

[tawny sorrel]

nah tyty i appreciate but im hella nooby i know my limits lol

i work within my limits is what i been doin since day one

but i will say he lookin cuteasf rn

lil cerealbox

o since u here kemme get ur solution to the glitchy sprites

lemme*

[deep pendant]

It looks exactly how I would imagine sb to look and gbc, I don't see any glaring "noobness" 🤣 on it

[deep pendant]

What do you want to know?

[tawny sorrel]

aint no ways u layering a million tiles

and getting away with it

[deep pendant]

I am layering 5 in the worst place.

And I plan to take them out because it's giving me some headaques

Making big enemies.

[tawny sorrel]

heres what we lookin at

how similars metalhead to this

[deep pendant]

Yo can improve that quite a lot I think

[deep pendant]

Very different. But because other than the guitar, I hadn't done any layering

[tawny sorrel]

those sidehoes are the obp1 boys

[deep pendant]

I wanted a big sprite so I priorices just 3 colors but have it be big

[tawny sorrel]

indeed i be usin yellow orange blue red brown pink

all on one baddie

plus black white

lol

[deep pendant]

At the very least you should be able to move those 2 to the right and have it take just 1 sprite

[tawny sorrel]

ive tried the "align better" before

and i always get hella garbled

like stuff glitchin ontop and below the sprite

[deep pendant]

But you should be able to, using different colors in the sprite, make it just using 2 layers

[tawny sorrel]

im practically afraid lol

[deep pendant]

If I am counting alright you are using 7 diferent color. S which means at least 3 layers. I would think about taking maybe the pink or the red out

So you cna do it with just 3 layers and 2 palettes

[tawny sorrel]

i would rather take out his blue eyes than his iconic red tie

and remove pink too if needed

but

ye

[deep pendant]

That's because they are coming out of the "sprite box"?

[tawny sorrel]

honestly ionow

but i have it runnin a 32 sprite

[tawny sorrel]

i can technically make it a 16er

[deep pendant]

See that box? If you sprite surpasses it it will glitch pretty much the same as the vram glitch

That was probably why

[tawny sorrel]

so u put ur box maxed?

[deep pendant]

Nit maxed, but as big as I need for each animation state to make sure it doesn't surpase that

[tawny sorrel]

i doin dis tho already

[deep pendant]

I'll let you choose which one, I said red or pink because both can do the others job fairly well

But gbc is way to limited. Taking so much sprites in a row and 3 palettes for 2 pixels of a color is a bit overkill

[tawny sorrel]

i can fully make it a orange tie and drop both

[deep pendant]

So you should be able to make him just 2 layers

Having at max 4 sprite tiles in a row

That should be small enough to not have much flickering during the game.

[tawny sorrel]

do he look decent mocked

[deep pendant]

This looks great 👍

Perfect 8 bit SB

[tawny sorrel]

lemme try and rearrange his color bit rn

and optimizeasf

[deep pendant]

Here you where 9verlaping 9 sprites! I hadn't counted before. You were already pretty much in the limit

Just make it 2 layers, it will look pretty much the same and will run waaaaay better

[tawny sorrel]

k wish me luck gonna attempt mister simple

[deep pendant]

That's still like 8 sprites

[tawny sorrel]

ohelna

[deep pendant]

Use the 3 different color values for the second layer

And make it be just 1 thing

[tawny sorrel]

ok i think i get what u sayin holup

[deep pendant]

It should take the same space as Bob does

But make the red black, the light green another color and the light green another one

What you've done with Bob basically

[tawny sorrel]

wait a second

ur implying dmgmode is off the table with that setup

but

[deep pendant]

Yeah, I wasn't even thinking on Dmg, that's true.

But you are trying to put 7 colors on a sprite. I don't know how dmg would read that tbh

[tawny sorrel]

dis baddy

look at my clean boy

[deep pendant]

I guess you have to choose

[tawny sorrel]

i think i can optimize without sacrificing dmg

igotchu holup

[deep pendant]

If you want dmg you have to cut in colors, because you can't have 8 sprites in a row for the mc

[tawny sorrel]

but u onto somethin with the swap swap

[deep pendant]

If you want full color and sprites left you have to cut dmg

[tawny sorrel]

whimper noises

[deep pendant]

Layering is a Color mode "technique" after all. Very few non only for gbc use layering, let along that much

I think that with gb studio it cna know if you Rae using dmg or color ( I don't know how, but I've seen people making the "this nly works on color" screen

Maybe you cna make a variable that changes the second color palette if in DMG?

Just speculating here...

[tawny sorrel]

nah nah we not gonna make hella cuts if it can be avoided

heres the new n improved

gonna try this baddie

[deep pendant]

You know I agree 🤣

[deep pendant]

This should work!

[tawny sorrel]

not you tryna cheese my art so urs stays beautiful and vibrant

lolol

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-thinking-reading-book-work-glasses-gif-10674954

homie is installed

[deep pendant]

I made concessions. Wanted the biggest sprite possible so I decided i rather prioritize the line to make the best animations posible than layering and taking to many sprites in a row. And I am taking out the red body of the guitar and making it part of the rest of the sprite

[tawny sorrel]

time to load em in

[deep pendant]

Because of the same reason

[deep pendant]

Looking great. O now it's half the sprites in a row 👍

[tawny sorrel]

to be fair 80% of metalhead is his arms

[deep pendant]

Not even his arms. His hands 🤣

[tawny sorrel]

urite he bricked up everywhere

loading

[deep pendant]

Well, I hope Bob runs better now. I should work. Let me now if you need any more help! See you!

[tawny sorrel]

aaaah

hes not glitchin sprites

[deep pendant]

Neat 👍

[tawny sorrel]

peep

[deep pendant]

And now you have 4 in a row at worst

That should give you enough room for enemies

[tawny sorrel]

get dat taste of the potential

[deep pendant]

It looks great

And I didn't notice any kind of flickering

[tawny sorrel]

🙂

i only use memes for good

nows the fun part

animashun

[tawny sorrel]

[tawny sorrel]

o so im 2 months of silence whats that about 🙂

@twin anvil

@pure crow

@mint pike

@thorny sage

been a rough few months tbh

dabbling with other peoples' projects and general lifing

but ill get right back on the squeaky one shortly

[dense aurora]

yey

[twin anvil]

hope you come back soon!

[pure crow]

Yea

[thorny sage]

alright

[twin anvil]

(I also love how you pinged me first <3)

[mint pike]

kk, goo luck

[tawny sorrel]

i tried to ping everyone one giant push and the server said nope too many people and denied me

here ill give a sneak peek of my main game tiles and turning the template into bobgame

its a process

i realized that i wanted to make a game template but strayed from the template side of the project

so im gettin back on track

[tawny sorrel]

i love skyrim :^)

is a good game 🙂

[tawny sorrel]

i love vibing to the soundtrack on my drives

[tawny sorrel]

felt cute might delete later

[twin anvil]

lol

[tawny sorrel]

felt more cute

[tawny sorrel]

just vacuumed the krabby patty mobile

looks fresh again

me tho im pooped

[tawny sorrel]

presenting: squid

trying to maintain their general height differences

plankton with be a pixel

[mint pike]

nah, it should be inconsistent like the show
/j

[tawny sorrel]

im thinking background art should be faded pastel versions to make the sprites pop better, thoughts?

[tawny sorrel]

[tawny sorrel]

https://i.postimg.cc/Gmcp5JJp/IMG-1261.png

potentially the end result ingame

wonder if i can squeak by without removing dmg compatibility

seems like if i be sneaky on how i arrange em of course

[tawny sorrel]

hes got sprite glitches but not when hes all alone 🙂

you can almost hear his laughter

[tawny sorrel]

https://i.postimg.cc/prgHTtg5/IMG-1315.png

im thinkin doing interiors like this. saves resources on palettes.

[twin anvil]

bro what time zone are you in

it's almost midnight here

[tawny sorrel]

hawaii its 630pm

come on man im spongebob of course im in the pacific

[twin anvil]

fair

[tawny sorrel]

peep my lil demo

look at em happy

i alr got a version with the 3 houses setup

glitchy squidward but very minimal

https://i.postimg.cc/5NHDs0rw/IMG-1317.png

[tropic echo]

The sprites looks pretty good!

[tawny sorrel]

doin the best i can thanks!

[tawny sorrel]

i been in a funk but i may be out of it again ❤️‍🔥

sidenote whats yalls project folder lookin like lol

[spice bear]

omg that's so cool tho

[tawny sorrel]

nearly 5gigs of art

kinda nuts

[tulip moon]

Inscryption's at 489 MB

[tawny sorrel]

das still a lot

i gotta go thru my art app and clean up stuff i dont need

because sheesh this is too much

[humble oyster]

This is so cool!!

I'd love to animate a lil trailer for it when it's complete hehe

mimicking the 2001 spongebob style shouldn't be too hard

[tawny sorrel]

🙂

4 years into development is hard

[stray cradle]

4 years? Wow. That's a long time. Hope you can finish it.

[tawny sorrel]

i better, my main game relies on it

think skyrim but cute with cutscenes

still might get it done before es6

we'll see

[humble oyster]

Do you have a channel or server for that?

[tawny sorrel]

not for the maingame no

for bobgame yes but its inactive and also exclusive to limit eyeballs on development

[humble oyster]

You should focus entirely on one of the games instead of both at the same time

[tawny sorrel]

thats why im only bobgaming

bobgame is intended as the prototype template

then maingame is just copypaste swap grapphics

[humble oyster]

oh okay

Focus all your mental energy on bobgaming

[tawny sorrel]

yerp

[humble oyster]

And if you need any help for the promo art

I'm willing

[tawny sorrel]

look at you

comin in clutch

i prob just gonna render my art into hd vectors

then wham bam

[humble oyster]

Hey

Do you have any playable versions of it yet?

[tawny sorrel]

looks cartoony enough to pass

[humble oyster]

Ooo

[tawny sorrel]

you likin it huh

[humble oyster]

What if the trailer for the game was animated in the original style

kinda similar to this trailer I made for Holy Mackerel

Animation and then gameplay

[tawny sorrel]

the casual bubble transition

actin like i wouldnt notice it

[humble oyster]

I think it looks pretty chill 😎

[fiery kraken]

spunch

[tawny sorrel]

the prodigal sponge returns

[steel tangle]

Awesome sauce

[tawny sorrel]

looking as squeaky as ever

back to mayhem

[keen mulch]

YAASSSSSSSSSS

[tropic echo]

I can do the trailer if u want, with a low poly cell shaded style in blockbench.

[tawny sorrel]

appreciate the offer, bobgame is not nearly in a state that warrants a trailer just yet tho.

[tropic echo]

Ok!

[fiery kraken]

make the nose bigger i say

[tawny sorrel]

might make him look more stock sure but its a meme face i pixeled so

i also gotta add his other cheek back in

missed it entirely

[fiery kraken]

ye

[tawny sorrel]

🙂

[tawny sorrel]

i had a revelation about using bubblebass as the token "comic book guy" to shoehorn his mom's basement as the arcade room for the minigames

ill have 8 arcade cabinets with each minigame, and a "broken" cabinet that will be activated after i complete the main game

which will then give access to the sequel prototype game ill develop

[tulip moon]

Sponge, you doin okay mate?

[tawny sorrel]

doin great, life been developing in the positive

[tawny sorrel]

whered the wip forum go

[tulip moon]

? Its still there

[twin anvil]
