Hi,

(This is just sprites so far, so I don't know if I can call it a mod, but I didn't know where to post, tell me if I'm wrong...)

I've seen in the gaming forum that Alenth Eneil was playing XCOM,

Since I like this game very much, and since I wanted to try my hands at some modding, I started an XCom mod, so far I only did the sprites for the pistol, the rifle and a trooper (that's pretty much nothing but I'm happy making my little mod )...(and I started the skyranger) :



There's a little pixel bug at the bottom of the legs of the soldier, but I think I know why so I will correct that soon. Then I'll try with plasma guns and aliens and so on... (and then with code )

If you have any comments or critics, let me know. Bye.

Oh wow, this is GREAT for a newbie mod. Holy ♥♥♥♥, keep going trooper. You'd better turn into some kind of awesome modder like Bubsy or Darlos

Keep up the good sprites, we could always do with another superduperspriterperson round here

I mean, I don't know about great--but its certainly not trash at all. The only thing that bothers me is that everything looks too symmetrical and cylindrical, yet two-dimensional.

The actor looks great, though I've never played the original XCom for comparison.
The plane... thing looks kinda bad right now, though.
Oh yeah, and I think the DL link is missing. Please post it.
I really want to try this out.
EDIT:
I just read the bit about this being just sprites. I assume that's the reason for the lack of DL link.

It's very nice, but I think it needs bigger eyes like the Ronin.

Hi,

thanks a lot.



In fact I think it has to do with contrast, but you're right, I will try to add more lights and shadows but this is not easy with a palette...



1. It's exactly the same as the XCom sprite, you don't need to look
2. Yes, the XCom plane looks kinda bad already, this one is worse, but I'll work on it. Maybe it needs to be a little bigger too.
3. Yes, just sprites, sorry.

Thanks a lot for the comments, and please excuse my english.

Bye.

Why does the blonde man have black eyebrows?

Looking good so far. Given that X-Com armor is kind of cylindrical, it actually pretty close to the source. I've got a bunch of X-Com sprites and UFO-pedia images if you need more source material as well as several sound effect compilations that could be broken down into individual sound effects if desired. Just holler, if you are interested.

These sprites are better than most PRO modders sprites! keep it up!

lafe you do not count as a pro modder so you can pretty much can that

while the sprites are good comparing them to your own is like comparing uwe boll to a turd sandwich

sure, one looks better

but one's still uwe boll

i dont consider myself a pro modder, and i consider his sprites better than yours, and on par with those from the aal.

The plane looks like it has partial pillow shading.

I don't make sprites, bud, nor have I ever claimed to.

ok, i thought the plane was yours.
