Thanks MLC. I knew that left forearm didn't feel right to me.

Does "Turok 2" and "Cerebral Bore" ring a bell?

So here's my progress:

The 'game' is displayed at 3x size, so that's actually what you see. Thoughts, criticisms?
EDIT: I just updated the latest image, fixing some contrast issues.

I'm interested in how you upped the grass quality, not to mention the stalagmites.

I think you should have kept the hot dog though.

I might have a hotdog food item though

Ohhey, lookit that! :3

YoBro, that's looking pretty good. One thing I may suggest, though, is to make the grass a little less..uh, cluttered. It's kind of really tall and noisy. Also some sort of dirt or something instead of blackness would be nice.

Non- its a google images ghuillie suit with some GIMP'd on office wear, because i'm broke and can't draw very well. I used a Posterize filter with really high contrast settings and stuff.
Miggles- that's part of the charm. I was going for a backlit-by-explosions kind of thing or something similar. My bad.

I was talking to YoBro.

Make some dirt, less noisy grass transition. Yeppers.

EDIT: Oh looky thar!
Comparison:

Thats looking really nice man! Digging the dirt/grass tiles.


Mockup of something I'm going to do once I finish this semesters Java class. Thoughts? ( id submit the full bg but its freaking huge)

Well, what's the context?

2D Sidescroller set in a wasteland setting. Tile based maps

Cool. Any fancy game mechanics or do you just jump on things?
