"Gloss" does not mean != Paper, you know. ;) It just means that it has a coating applied to the paper. As for the "Leprosy" look, let me find a picture of such a label... *edit Damn people refusing to own up to having marred carts. I can't find any except for "Extreme" ...

I dunno.. I remember that SMB2 had a paper label. (as opposed to a vinyl label) the problem manifests when storing the carts on a shelf that is tightly packed, like storing hard cover books. (the problem is lessened by using the plastic dust sleeves, but those are hard to find these days, short of a...

After this discussion about licensing and commercial distribution : Does anyone know where I can find detailed information about the physical form-factor of a NES cart's housing? I would like to make an improved design that protects the label art, but I can't find any specifications from which to bu...

Depending on the nature of the feelie, there are places like CafePress that will do limited runs of a product for a fairly reasonable fee. (I know CafePress allows "Single Unit" orders. Something many places wont do.) While most of the items they make are not really applicable to a videoga...

About the physical board game: That is Milt&Bradley... I would SERIOUSLY check to see if they patented the gameplay motif. MB is a bunch of notorious ass-fucks about that. However, I wasn't meaning something with that level of complexity for the travel kit. More like what you get in a travel Tar...

Tepples: Yeah, that is the sort of thing that the CC licenses try to resolve, but again, "Which" CC license are you referring to? That's the issue. The ambiguity causes confusion, and leads to additional work that an artist really doesn't want to do. To me, artwork is a bit like talking; i...

Wow, all their backups got stolen too? They should have kept some copies at the developers' houses or something. Don't be silly. They stole the code, in that they removed the copyright notices, removed the copy of the GPL, and then closed the source for their "fork", and claimed it all as...

I know that ReactOS had it's code literally stolen before, and rebranded under a closed source project called "Ekush." They also tried to rip off Freetype, Wine, and pals.

had these projects been public domain instead of GPL (and appropriate licenses), they would have gotten away with it.

As for the GPL allowing commercial sales, given that all the source material must be available along with the product being sold, it will have to be pretty good to persuade people to pay for it even though they can get the source material for free. Unless the game is structured so that only the cod...

*double checks* Yeah, I suppose it is oblique projection. (shrug) Regardless, it's there, it's free, and it uses around 9 tiles. (some of the tiles in the sample's bottom are not used in the sample. they are included for "finishing series" when put next to solid colors, or for use with com...

Created a simplistic set of isoparametric perspective wall and floor tiles.



Should be good for a simple adventure game, or iso-platformer mockup.

Tonight I think I will try to work on some 8x8 and 16x16 "Environment" tiles, like bricks, bubbling liquids, Spikes, etc. It looks like it will be the weekend before I can get ahold of Wombatguy about these jacketman sprites, so I will just make a few more for the missing animations, then ...

Sadly, it was photobucket that made them into JPEGs. They are actually BMP files. I don't have good image editing software at work, which is where I posted them from. I will create a set of animated GIF files of the different animations shortly. DONE Brown Jacket man Walking: http://i186.photobucket...

Here is a quick set of 16x24 "Jacket Man" tiles I started working on for Wombatguy on the IRC channel. Here they are so far in both brown and grey versions. *replaced with PNG versions, per req. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x248/wierdw/brownjacket-1.png http://i186.photobucket.com/al...
