Yuyuimg's First Ship

Post by Yuyuimg »

I have seen what you do, and I thought I would have a go myself; the result:

The ship retracted.

And the ship extended.

So any feedback? This is my first ship so don't be too harsh.

Not bad for a first ship, I guess. I'm not sure what the point of the retracting/extending bit is, but otherwise it's decent enough for a beginner.

I like the extension better, but if your going for the ability to close up, I'd make the sides extend out too. What are the big empty sprites?

I am using Arctic Customs sprites and Stock Sprites, if thats what you mean. And the sides close up slightly, the open when it starts too extend.

uhhh...*** :oops: what staring at that gif is making me dizzy O-O
could you try shrinking the images? try opening them in paint and croping them cause they are kinda large

:shock: dude...when you make gifs there should be an option somewhere to control the time between layers. That should be at least 2 seconds I believe. Also did you use the multiframe screenshot function or do each of those manually? Cuz it seems like the edges are shifting but I can't tell between seizures...
