Hey-ho!
So this summer I'm taking a class on game programming for Flash. As such, I'll be working continuously on a new game. I thought it would be fun to be super-transparent on this one, and do a pretty detailed companion log to mark my progress. So let's do it!
My idea is this: a side-on beat-em-up game in the style of
Assassin Blue. The catch is that the game will be boss fights ONLY. I'm hoping that squeeze in 3 nicely-fleshed out bosses into the game.
So I started out doing a lot of concept sketches and brainstorming to get a character I was happy with as my lead. I felt like doing a badass femme fatale sort of character so the concepts quickly went that way.
I'm more or less settled in on a design, so I started thinking about the actual in-game art. Pixel art/bitmap animations seems like the obvious choice for me, though it'll require some more rigamarole to work into Flash. I thought I might experiment with a technique I've heard tell of, where artists create and rig 3D models, animate in 3D, and then export still 2D frames for gameplay. I kinda like that idea, especially since it'll lend to smooth, modular animation work, so I'm giving it a shot. Plus, it's a way for me to work
some of my 3D experience into my game work.
So that's where I am as of the end of week 1 (out of 11). Let's see how it goes! (And how this balances with my
Phanta work, which I've been keeping up on pretty regularly)...

Found an old forum discussion on the use of pre-rendered graphics in games like Donkey Kong Country, Fallout, Mortal Kombat, Starcraft, etc.
http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=8219.0
You seem to have things figured out here, but I think it's still worth a read, even if some of the points discussed won't really apply to your game due to the color block-based art direction you seem to be taking.
Also, fair warning, the topic is from a pixel art forum, so there's naturally going to be a bit of bias.
Yeah, the bias shows.
I'm really happy with the look I'm cultivating here. The main advantage this offers me is very very smooth animation made relatively easily. I feel this game is a lot about the animation, so that's a significant boon. It's pretty narrow-minded to look at any sort of technique and call it absolutely inferior because it's not the one you're used to; one look at Ghost Trick and I'm sure a lot of them would feel differently about the potential of #D-rendered sprite.
And plus it's just fun to work on and it's a new trick to have on my belt, which is never a bad thing :)
Please don't get the wrong idea, that topic doesn't necessarily reflect my personal views on the matter -- I just linked to that it thinking that it presented some things to take into consideration. But looking back, it was a lot more one-sided than I initially noticed... So, yeah, I shouldnt've been so hasty in sharing it.
Any drawing/animating technique, whether it be hand-drawn, pre-rendered, vector-animated, procedurally-generated, true 3D or hand-pixeled, is just a tool for the artist to use how they see fit. Each technique has its own strengths and weaknesses, but it doesn't mean one is inherently better than the other, just that some techniques are better suited for certain styles than others. Ultimately, the most important thing is how the tool is used, not the tool itself.
I think that's what a few of the comments in that topic were trying to get at, and what I got caught on when reading through the thing -- smaller pre-rendered sprites aren't as good at conveying precise details or depth when compared to hand-pixeled graphics and true 3D models. The defining aspects of your usual cel-shaded style, the bold, contrasting colors and the recognizable silhouettes, play to the strengths of the technique you're using. It's the same thing with Ghost Trick.
nice sharing , i Think it is good and looking so much professional

I was in total despair when I found Dr. Todd. My life was going terrible and I didn't know if I was coming or going. I had just gone through a rough divorce, wasn't making enough money to sustain me and my children, and my 17 year old son had just gone to jail for the first time. When I talked to him, I immediately found a sense of peace. He was very honest with me and I could feel that. He also told me that everything would be okay. After my work began, things began to change. My bills were all caught up, the relationship I was in became much stronger, I was never FLAT broke, and my son was released from jail earlier than we expected!! I also completely got over the failed marriage and began to move on. And, received a better position at my job which will cause an $800 per month increase!! I felt completely comfortable with the work that was being done because I was always encouraged by Dr. Todd. manifestspellcast@gmail.com is the BEST!!!!

This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the Internet on the 23th of April 2018 , And i saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful and great spell caster called Dr Oseiboh on the forum..I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about spell nor magic before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about black magical spells, not until Dr Oseiboh did it for me and restored my marriage of 6 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me just as i read on the Internet..i was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and i don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr Oseiboh you are a God sent to me and my entire family.. And now i am a joyful woman once again thanks for your good work and for restoring happiness to my home..LOVE SPELL,LOTTERY,PREGNANCY SPELL, DIVORCE SPELL,ANY FOUNDATION COURSES,REVENGE SPELL,STOP COURT CASE AND WIN ANY COURT PROBLEM,DEATH SPELL,BUSINESS SPELL AND MANY MORE YOU MAY NEED.

Life has been so miserable after my boyfriend broke up with me 6 months ago. I never thought he could hurt me just like that then i realized how much i loved my boyfriend when he ended our relationship and i had to look for options to make sure i get her back to myself for i wasn't living fine anymore. I was directed to a Spell Doctor known as Dr Mamudu by my cousin who he claimed he helped him in winning a lottery. I made contact with the Doctor and i was surprised and amazed when my boyfriend came back to me with he knees on the floor pleading to me for forgiveness to take he back as my lover. I thought i was dreaming because all this happened just within 24 hours and it happened as the spell Doctor as said. For that wonderful encounter with this man, i took a decision on my path that i will let the world know about Dr Mamudu for he's able and capable to solve any problems. Get in touch with him drmamudu47@gmail. com bless Dr Mamudu l love you or add him on Whats-app: +2348143284524
