Would you like something like "Game Developer" or "BBR Games" for a user title? Promotion, y'know?
Would you be looking for any help w/ graphics, or are you thinking to keep it quick & simple and yours. all. yours?
What timeframe do you anticipate completing this in? What sort of profit would satisfy you, and how likely do you think that is to happen? I don't know anything about the Windows Store...
Sounds like the kind of game for a portable device, but you say it is intended for the Windows Store? For microsoft-based computers thus?
Try colouring in the doors with some different shades to indicate the bevels.I'm not sure I understand. I'll try some stuff if you haven't clarified when I post the next border tries.
See if you can make girder1b tileable horiz and vert just with the one image. Will make life simple for me.I can turn them into tiles with four edges instead of two, or sort of a ribbon without the raised edge bits that say 'girder'. I'll post drafts of each.

I think borders at all are not a good idea, but I can't see the picture Dale has in his head.Me not understanding point - yeah, I don't disagree, but metallic tones are really hard to nail, and I don't have a lot of features there to make highlights on. It needs some blue to look like girders at all...
That's looking pretty sharp so far. Did you ask for something in place of the diamonds?
Hmm. Something I don't understand going on with the brick edges on the sides... Need to have another look.
What's this about bugs? I missed those...
Something like this would probably go over pretty well on an Android platform in the Google Play store. Make an f2p version that gives one level then ask for a certain low amount to unlock an unlimited version. Lots of folks like simple games like this on their phones as a time waster.I wonder about doing the bedrock and maybe some other graphical changes for a different level?
Would that be hard to do?
The way I timed it for the .gif was 30ms for each of these four frames, which may have been too fast. 100ms is too slow. Around 50ms, or 1/20th of a second may be about right, depending on how it works in the programming and how fast the game runs. I can fiddle around with the .gif timing more if you want more info on that.
Now to knock out a spider before bed - feedback on the ant and the other two transformations would be great.

oh... and Dale....
If you ever make a Facebook cow clicker... ever, I will get in my command chopper with my army of green clad ninjas to Aussie land to "re-educate" you :D
Keep the animations as separate pngs, don't combine them. I'm programatically controlling the timers.I guess I wasn't clear that I get that - I was saying that I do have a little experience with animation, and working with the .gif version is how I can test and advise. I'm not entirely satisfied with all frames at 30ms - and it might work better if the first frame, GoodbyeChillFr1.png, was replaced whit Chill swelling up a little instead.

For multiplayer, I'm thinking I've got the perfect thing for the other player icon - Innocent Teddy, a perfectly innocent example of a back and white teddy bear...
[ducks]
What else?

You're pointing me at the red door, aren't you? :(
The spiders and the butterflies really ought to bob or flap - would alternating frames be practical? Wouldn't take me five minutes to supply.
Looks like you forgot to shave today, Buncle.I did. That's a pretty good likeness of me made from my usual avatar, who looks enough like my dad -the red crew-cut, wrinkles and all- that I mostly just changed the hair and added facial fur at a typical length - I'm wearing it longer lately, though.

Dale is camping with his cubscouts
Raain' frassin'...
I said I'd do it for a pro credit, and I'm a man of my word.
Plus I do expect a generous stipend/bonus if it unexpectedly blows up viral and makes megabucks...
Slime tile two frames wide or what? Tell me more. -Like what you see slime as looking like... Is it a puddle on the floor or a gelatious blob blocking the way, and does it 'splode or anything?
Two intersecting frames, or one 20x40?
So I should google BoulderDash for inspiration and then not do exactly that. Got it.
[checks the time for Kilkakon and subtracts three] Still morning in Melbourne, I think. Dale may actually go to church.
