Why I haven't done much art lately
16 years ago
General
Work has been using up most of my creative energy. That's not to say I'm not having a blast 8)
The past couple months I've been working on a tile editor. (I really dislike the ones that are currently the most popular!). After the project it was made for is out, hopefully I'll be able to open source it, since I personally think it's excellent. However, at the moment it is in-house only.
Thanks to all you guys for being patient. My boss let me make public a little sneak peek of a small thing one of my co-workers and I was working on the other day. Please enjoy :3

Doing these effects were a nice break from the last couple months' work, which was mostly dedicated to the tile editor.
Sorry that I can't divulge details about what the project is at this time, but maybe the video will stir up some excitement 8)
Edit: some bonus details about the effects... Andy created most of the effects in the first 30 seconds, mostly sine-wiggle effects. I created the effects after 30 seconds, which are mostly lens-based effects using various displacement maps. My favorite is the stained-glass "break" effect. I wonder what these can be used for...!

Also cool, tile editors! I bet ROM hackers could find a use for that sort of thing.
However, I really hope HWA becomes official very soon. (Also I hope that they fix the Background Images object for HWA cause image tiling apparently doesn't work!) Right now these are the only effects done using plugins; Since text blitter doesn't support 8-bit alpha and Background Images has a few memory issues and bugs going on, in-game stuff like letter glyphs and tilemap generation is all done manually (the latter using fastloops and pasting into the background); some things I'm very proud of but is completely un-noticeable to the end user.
Also, all the effects before 30 seconds are not lens effects but various sine functions which my co-worker did :v
Reminds me that I need to go check out your gallery.. I haven't looked at submissions in months.
