Madman's make-U-leet tutorial progress log

1/16/02:
-Started designing a game. This game will be taken apart, and put back together step by step, with the steps documented. This will go into a basic, and an advanced tutorial.

-Designed the ground tiles I’ll be using. Encountered a problem with some of them...

-Modifyed some of the “character sprites” for use in my tutorial — it never hurts to have something look unique, I always say.

1/17/02
-Implemented a few parts of the interface. The graphics are really simple and primitive, but add kind of an old school SNES type of look.... plus this is just generic stuff I’m assembling so I favor speed over quality.

-Added in maps, including a world map

-Put together some of my altered graphics into animations.

-Made a really cool “make-U-leet” logo

1/21/02
-Started designing the tutorial in Adobe Pagemaker

-Fixed a few graphical problems

-Got drunk and lost track of time

-selected a few PoG graphics to use out of the midieval template because I can't draw a house worth ****

Hey, cool stuff.

Great! Everyone is looking forward to any available tutorials. The CD's may take longer and we don't know how extensive they will be.

Any chance you could put some screenshots on to the internet so that we could see what these graphics look like?

Cheers,

Yes, a tutorial would be nice. I'm lost

Now that I've gotten into things that take more than the add noise filter to make, most of my graphics suck. Well, I'm not going for looks, I'm going for file size. That's the main reason why I didn't use the existing graphics. I'm really no artist — but I can guarantee that my tutorial will show you how to do many things that people once said coldstone would not do...
