We are happy to release so-needed update to our first game – Mars Miner. It fixes pretty common bug connected with Zip.dll library we were using – which was stopping a lot of players from trying our game, specially on newer OS like Windows 7 or Windows XP 64 bit.
Also, it adds a couple of smaller balance and misc changes.

Another one seamless texture by me based on free photos from CGTextures.com

Again, CrazyBump was used to create Displacement maps.

You can download final Sharp Old Bricks texture here: http://retrostylegames.com/temp/blog/seamless-old-sharp-bricks/seamless-old-sharp-bricks.rar

It’s 1800×1800 resolution .TGA files.
Diffuse, and two Displacement maps are included

Okay, I have some free time to refresh my tileable textures creation skills. I have started with more complex texture, but Photoshop crashed on me before I have saved my work.

Then I decided to choose less complex metal texture from CG Textures free collection: http://cgtextures.com

Here is preview of final texture rendered with use of displacement:

CrazyBump was used to create Displacement and Specular maps.

You can download final Bronze Copper Metal texture here: http://retrostylegames.com/temp/blog/seamless-bronze-copper-01/seamless-bronze-copper-metal-roof.rar

Today we have decided to share some animated sprites I have prepared for one game, which was not finished because lead programmer of that project decided to switch to another game development.

They are looping TGA sequences with alpha channel. Animations were done with top-down shooter in mind (like Crimsonland).
Body and legs – are separated sprites and can be rotated independently.

Sprites of Skeleton, Skeleton Archer, Skeleton Warrior and Skeleton Legionary are presented in this archive:
