OK, let's go again... Last time I posted a preview picture from my forthcoming slide show... But I stopped to work on it for now... Not for ever, of course, but for some time 'cause I started already another project... As I wrote in my previous post, I am a man of his word (and actually, I finished the army-guy screen...). The thing is that Snake and I are working in a very prototype project, in my opinion. To give you a sniff, I really like the retro games and "Space Invaders" was a really bang-bang game...So, one night Tomas came with an idea to make a slide show of "Space Invaders". But do not expect nothing less than huge pixels made with split rasters :). After all, I am talking about CPC my friends...
Anyways, I asked Tomas to make a fucking intro in order not to be just a simple slideshow but to have a bit of demomaking spirit inside... He found the idea nice and I started to paint a small screen related to the game... So, this post was written just to show you a screen (Psile gia sena mwri malakia na poume :)
Don't start to criticize me bad from the beginning... Imagine that every CPC designer has to "fight" with some really huge pixels and he has to choose from a variety of 27 colors. Here I use mode 0, which means that 16 colors only can be displayed in the screen. And most important, a CPC designer has to work pixel per pixel. We are speaking about 8-bit machines people... :)Anyways, there are still a lot of stuff to be made... After all, this screen was designed during a weekend, so it's not that perfect... It's just an alien inside an U.F.O. :) But I believe I have designed my idea so well :P. You see, I wanted to make a kinda funny screen, to look like a cartoon type screen. To conclude, I have started to work in some things that will also be added, like stars and a logo, but they have to be designed much better... But I will keep working... I love producing for CPC even if the computer has died commercially from 1992. It lives inside my heart and I am happy that I am NOT the only one! :) CPC scene is great! :)
So, I must leave you... I have also to go to my job tomorrow...
But before I must say that I am so fucking excited about this co-production with my friend Tomas :) I am sure that the final result will be great!
...'till next time... ...take care...

I like this. Very cartoonish, love the colors. Of course it could always be improved (more antialiasing? some nicer detail on the alien? (don't like the triangle teeth :)) but it's good. Nice to see some new CPC gfx from you again.
In a week I travel to holidays in Spain for a week. Maybe when I come back later I'll get back into CPC coding and finally start with something :P
opti, is not finished man! I still work on it. At the beginning, I thought it will be so fucking easy... But as the details make a screen better and better, I have to make it more detailed :P
Btw, I like the triangle teeth... Reminds me of a friend from Thessaloniki who used to say that i will code and i will and never did :P
Maybe, if he start coding again for CPC, i will make square or circle or oval teeth! lol
Happy holidays man!
Afterall you know that i am fucking joking :)
Que te pases bien tio :)
...and go to Andalucia... You will love it :)Granada rulezzzz!!!
