Hello people,
I'm sure some of you (well, Horace) are aware of my efforts to get my project Tank Wars Deluxe finished and basically the graphics have been a major stumbling block for me. I had AB Positive over at EAB offer to help and I sent her some stuff but this was a couple of months back and she hasn't even logged in for a week which is unfortunate as I sent her a PM asking if she can get this done in fairly short order.
So I'm now assuming she isn't going to be able to and as there seem to be one or two creative types around here I thought I'd throw this out to you lot. Really I need graphics. Maybe a bit of music and sound effects too but graphics are the priority. And for personal reasons I wish not to discuss yet (it's a bit early, all will be revealed in due course) this needs to be finished and released by about mid to late February and not any later. In normal circumstances I wouldn't be in much of a rush but these aren't really normal circumstances so it needs to be done.
I need some tile graphics -16x16 pixels in 16 colours - for the game's maps and I need several different themed ones (i.e. desert, forest, arctic). There aren't very many and they need to be organised in a way that you can load a level with any theme and it will display fine. Also I need a few small power-up icons, and maybe some bullets and indeed some tanks (though not necessarily - I could go with what I've got - though a small explosion-type anim would be cool). Also not necessary but would look nice would be a small status panel at the bottom of the screen, and maybe a nice title screen too. None of it has to be spectacular by any means.
I know it's all a bit vague but anyone interested post here or contact me and I'd be happy to provide more details and game files too. You can find the original Tank Wars on
Aminet if you need an idea of what it's all about.
This has suddenly become fairly important to me so if anyone could help I would massively appreciate it.
Thanks!
