How To Make Game Graphics When You're Bad At Art - Devlog 2

Please leave all comments arguing about the best Power Ranger here.

she forced you to say that (just kidding)

I happen to know a three-toes sloth who's an AMAZING artist, just saying.

nice

The trail should have a different color than the background

yellow was the best color ┗|｀O′|┛

the only thing I can draw is a conclusion

This video is amazing and fun. I chocked on my food.

i was expecting a: thats not true, i dont have a girlfriend

I just found this channel and I am enjoying the story so far. 😂

FINALLY ANOTHER CLICKTEAM USER

Of course, Tommy was my favorite. I was alive in 93 when the show aired. "We're not too old for this shit!" and you should have definitely done that segment.

1993 was an excellent year

You can make people use $1 to gamble to gain a new background color or animation. Thank me later by buying me a Porsche.

RIP Jason David Frank

Relatable! 😂 thanks for the great vids

wow ClickTeam fusion.

Great upgrade from the previous appearances for this project. I like the rectangle light backgrounds. I think that some falling dust mote type particles would look neat in it, too.

you say your not good at graphics ....

HAVE YOU SEEN Dwarf Fortress???
yes... something to think about isn't it :D go on, do an ASCII game :D

KEY WORDS:
:_( colour theory :_(
for those who are NOT artists, who want to make good games:
meaning: the point of depression where my brain begins to explode

Yellow using black to make darker shades like shown here is indeed yucky, but yellow using red to make things darker is teh hawtness.

why not black ?😢

I'm not bad at Art per-say .. I don't wanna spend ages on my own Sprites :( It takes time away from my coding. I am learning as much as I can from Artists like yo'self so it becomes easier and less annoying.. I just don't have the same inclination to draw as I do programming though :(

That's a good tip about the moving platforms, y o i n k i n g that one

This videos are so much fun, I wish I found this channel earlier!

What about using free assets?

"But you have to understand, I make games in Clickteam Fusion 2.5, so I'm clearly not interested in using better, more up to date software" is the biggest mood ive ever heard

this guy is hilarious 😂

I’m red and green color blind so I can’t tell what most of the backgrounds are… purple and blue look the same.

There is a good way to make graphics look beautiful without being an artist - limit your color palette to 2-5 colors and apply a billion VHS/CRT/Bloom filters

You mentioned contrast as an important tool to achieve clarity in your game. This applies to more than just the background vs the foreground - you can use contrast to differentiate between different level elements as well. In particular, something which causes your game to look a bit flat right now is that everything in it uses a similar thin outline - This causes elements like walls, platforms and bounce pads to blend in together. Ideally you'd want them to contrast and look as different as possible from each other - for instance have everything solid (like the walls) be 100% white, everything you can fall through (like platforms) have an outline, and everything which impacts you (like bounce pads or spikes) be crosshatched. This could greatly increase the clarity (as well as the visual interest) of your game. As a general rule of thumb, always imagine that someone is playing your game without their glasses on, and they should still know exactly what's going on at a glance.

You should get a translantor set it to polish and call cd projekt red

HEY!!!!! i like yellow

Well, joke on you, I like yellow

salmon is the best fucking color of all time

Ya know, I think graphics is really important. And this video is useful for exactly that. Really cool. (Not binge watching)

How can ı do path mark like this game? .(red line )
