I usually borrow(steal) are from around the internet for my games but thought I'd better do it properly this time. As I'm no artist and have no artist friends who want to help me (yet. I'm hoping that once I get the first level sorted someone will assist with the art), I'm going to have to do the work myself.
I have 3 questions though.
1- I understand the top left pixel indicates transparency. What if you don't wan't transparency? Do you still need to add a colour in the top left that doesn't appear in the rest of the image?
2- I haven't decided if I will use tiles or clones for my floors and walls etc, however whatever I decide I think the best way to sort the images is to use a tilesheet. How do I create a tile sheet?
3 - Tiles or clones for walls and floors? Best option and why?
Thanks in advance
(Oh if there is an artist looking for a game to work on I'd be happy for you to join me on this one. More details and an alpha demo will follow once I get a few more functions working)
