Hi Guys, I’m going to write a few small articles and accompany them with some you tube videos. my focus here is going to be on things you can do to polish your games when you don’t have access to a talented artist.
Now please don’t go into this expecting to come out of it with Hollywood style polished graphics created by a team of commercial artists because quite simply you cant polish a turd but you can make it smell less bad 😛
Its mostly a collection of my thoughts and personal techniques but mostly i just want to share my process’s with you guys so people struggling with artwork can begin to have some level of quality in their games.
There’s a lot you can do with code to liven up a game and make it feel more polished without needing to invest in a professional artist.
sprite effects, easing on your movement, better physics, refining your controls etc. we will go over these techniques in the coming weeks.
