Nowhere near finished and barely even started. Arson About is a game where you play a fire starting singer who must collect objects and not be trapped. Yeah, that makes it sound very exciting, I know. Alright, the game concept is entirely in my head, has been for decades and was actually rendered in BASIC in the early 90s about three or four times as different games (including an Amstrad CPC effort). I know what it is, but can't really/won't really describe it fully. I keep changing my mind about various bits of it. It's a bit like
Ralph On Alpha 2 but loads better. Honest.
Anyway, I've got two main sprite animations done, in Photoshop.
Walk cycle left
Jump/climb
In whatever time I get over this
Merryneum (and I've still got a three-month-old Reheated Pixels video to edit), I'll try and get more sprite action animations done. Obviously, the sprite gets to spark a fire and I've got to think about falling, injury, unlocking doors, those kind of things.
The new year's resolution for 2022 was to get this game made. Then I carried it over to 2023. And here I am still without it existing, except for these graphics. Ah well. Maybe end of 2024.
