New Idea

madskillz, thanks for the help. I'll be using 8x8 for the graphics, but send me the sprites if you like so I can take a look at them. I'm sure it'll help with inspiration or ideas. email is me@juansuave.com

soon, let's say as soon as I have something nice to show off, I'll move this the 'Announce your projects' section.

Ha ha ha!!!

That's why I got a NGC! I don't like xboxes.

How is this?
I don't think the jeep would look like a jeep if it was 8x8, so i made it 16x16.

What do you think?

Hey that's a nice piece of art work you've done there

You can make the tiles 8x8 Blueskies, but you are going to have to make the jeep 16x16 if you want any good detail at all!

those sprites are really good. I think I can use those, but I'll need 8x8 sprites. I might be able to use 12x12, and I think yours will fit in that space. I don't know though, 8x8 would make things so much easier. Thanks a lot for those though, because they'll help me out a lot.

Ok..well I redid some of the Jeep sprites...but they were made for real greyscale. So the quality isn't as nice but it is still pretty good I think.

There's just one little problem IMHO. The two vertical states shouldn't be mirror images of each other, since it's not a perpendicular top view.

Madskillz, I love the style of the jeep you made, but I don't think it could fit diagonally in the 16x16 space.
I definitly agree that the tiles should be 8x8. Maybe I'll make a mock-up or some tiles later today just for something to do; I'd love to see this game be made. If you want, I can help with code or GFX.

I think they were mirror images of each other in the real game...I'll fire up the ol' Nintendo tonight and fix them up a bit maybe. I forgot about the diagonal sprites. I'll make up some in the 16x16 size. I could actually make the sprites even bigger...they aren't fully 16x16. They're 16 wide but maybe only 12-14 pixels tall...for more detail I can fill them up all the way, but we'll see. I just got an idea for the vertical sprites...I'll try it out and post some more with the diagonal ones too later tonight. Thanks for all the praise!

Here is what the turret could look like.

It seems a little crowded, so maybe I shouldn't have tried to make it look so much like the origonal.
Here is just the turret without the base:

Ha ha..nice. Well I looked at the game and the jeep's sprites seem to be exact mirror iamges of each other. Here is the jeep, diagonal included!

Comments/improvements...always welcome!

Those look great, I just got one problem: the horizontal jeep images seem a bit too big compared to the others.
