Stalked by Ninjas

I’ve teamed up with the artist over at Stalked by Ninjas to make a 2D side-scrolling platformer with very 8-bit inspired graphics. We’ve been discussing ideas the last few days, and the project is merely in its infancy, but we’re starting to get to work on it. Cole is working on some of the early animated sprites and I’ve been pouring my time (or at least that which hasn’t already been allocated to relationships and school) into creating our first tool. I’ve made a sprite viewer that loads static and animated sprites from their TGA, PNG, or BMP files and displays them for viewing on a variety of background colors. It’s a fairly simple tool, but it has been interesting to write. Download it here (requires framework files found in “About” section of this blog).
