Artist's Comments

This is a section of the Pixel Town I am working on. The night can be seen here: [link]
Today I have been working on some of the animations for the motorway. (east and west bound) Then I did the rollercoaster and a few hours later I finised there are 111 frames in this animation of the rollercoaster and 40 static ones at the end... It's probably going to take me forever to finish the whole town...

Very nice, what software do you use for the animation, Imageready?

Putting all the little animations together must be tricky
:icontehste:
:) me too! Thanks.

The frames are put together in Flash. I do the pixel art in PS and save it as a PNG with transparency. Since the Flash drawing tools are mainly vector based.

Putting it together is tricky and to make it really complicated I have a day cycle which is 24 of our minutes so there are 2.5 pixel town days per hour. The action script for that is quite complicated and in which I have set a global variable for the hour so buildings and stuff have open and close times. There is going to be alot of complicated stuff going on. Like a police chase at 2pm a train at 8:30, 12:30, 16:30, 20:30. It's very time consuming.

Things like the motorway are scripted too so there are 6 colours per car randomly chosen and each car has x% chance of appearing. The % is higher during peak travel times.

I felt like explaining some stuff :)
Thanks for the comments.
