Ant-Lovin v1.2

[army of nobunaga]

To-Do---
+++++++
1) make the "fill" in the paths look better... Some sort of gradient (stahrgazer gave me some hints on how to do this)
2) CArtoonize the top.... (note to self- See pork)
3) Add the new poison bottle
4) Add the Egg Caches... and re-add the ants.

well, 12 steps forward, 12.5 back...

Stahrgazer gave me a tip on how to make the paths more uniform.. so expect a completely diff looking set up soon.

Don't worry man, graphics can only get better from where you are now. Just work on the game play first and connections, graphics come later.. i just wanna see what your thinking of gameplay wise, all i see now is a bunch of apples and drinks on top of a pile of dirt

This map has huge potential right now, could be a very charming map. I'll be waiting to see how the gameplay turns out- are you still going to include hazards/obstacles?

[army of nobunaga]

yes MarshalNey, working a spider in atm.... retooling it also now. Had to take another 20 spaces backwards to get some room. but the next version the gameplay will look a lot more recognizable..

The one thing that I like the most so far, (and please do not laugh), are the ants. Much character and cuteness going on there. Sort of, in a Doodle vane, if you get me. It reminds me of refrigerator art, that every house with a grade schooler has. You do NOT have to be a Leonardo to make something that has beauty, feeling, and worth.

I would like to see you actually draw this out with crayon on the largest piece of construction paper that you can scan. Then reduce it to 840X800.

I could do the cartoon stuff for you, and you can have others do the ants and stuff, but in the end that would be a very different map, from what I think this should be.

Doodle is now the only refrigerator type art that CC has. I would not mind another, and your style of drawing is perfect for this style. I suggest that you consider all of the suggs, and then come up with your own artwork in crayon.

very possible dude... I jsut need someone to tell me the pixel size the army circle is usually in a large or small map. So I can make the tunnel size ratio correct

I think that the width you have now will be fine. Do not worry so much about any of the graphic program just now. I say work on the crayon drawing first. The artwork on it will have plenty of time to develop and get better. The only thing that you need to know how to work right now is a crayon and scanner. That should suffice while you work on the GP.
