I like the name but, I think this is the wrong topic to discuss it in? He'll probably change his mind at the last minute, to be honest.

@Admiral: > Its still officially EE 3.0, and see my sig for answers on the "delayed" release. Actually, no. Its Solar. Zetta announced the other day… And I never asked about progress... So why point me to your sig...? I'm confused.com... @Zetta: > I get to write down that I wrote the engine from scratch. I guess, not much of a reward really though, is it? I'll donate regularly once I got my game up and running.

@Zetta: > no thats for access to edit the alpha/beta current versions. Anyone can download the source and edit their own copy as long as they follow the Terms and Agreements Awesome.. Sorry, I misunderstood. Solar sounds really, REALLY promising man. You been working hard, what do you get out of it? Other than the obvious vacation from "Whens 3.0 coming out?"

Wait… Does that mean I gotta get Vet's to edit my engine? I dunno if you noticed but, 90% of Vet's are kind of lazy in the Helping Newbs department... Why does Solar change this?

Hey Dev. Hows you man? Sorry, straying from the topic, thanks for the heads up Slym.

Alright, time to be honest, my skills are improving though I have nothing substantial to offer you as an example… I want to be the best, or at least 2nd best but, I'm not going to get there alone. I've got _Talent_, I've got the _Creative Flare_ but, I lack the most basic understanding or _Pixel Art_. And so, I need a mentor, someone with some spare time on their hands that can and will run me through the basics. Let me know, _Thanks_.

Pwnt. You rock.

Any Gimp users on tonight? Been trying to get Auto-Aliasing working… Could use some advice? Wrong section, sorry Addy.

@Zetta: > Ive included it, although there is no up-left, up-right, down-left, down-right sprites. It just uses either up or left when up and left are pressed, same goes for all the other directions Extreme…

But, very nice. > > I made both of them it is just that before I got some comments that it should change so i started to pixel some detail! which is better? This is JUST my personal opinion. I haven't read what anyone else put yet so it is JUST my opinion… Ready? ... ... ... The second one is better, though both are pretty mint quality. Maybe... Consider more appealing colors? Other than that, excellent. Oh, and MAKE A POLL!!!

_I wonder if this will transfer over to 3.0… I doubt it as its in VB6\. But, we can fantasize can't we? Maybe we won't have to._

Yeah, I get that DDuN, after I posted, I still think it's a bit vivid though. All in all nice work Slym definitely 8/10, maybe 9/10 if you darken the sahde of that grass.

Though dull, the sandy bricks had a more extreme range of colors. I tried to do the same with the red-bricked wall but, failed. I'll bear that in mind next time I try wall tiles.

It's very. I happen to feel it's a little TOO perfect? A little TOO symmetrical?

The urge to tidy was to strong. XD I'm not sure about the red either to be honest, just experimenting.
