So I am working on developing an iPhone/Android app that is going to be a Barnstormer game. The point of the game is to "fly" an airplane through barns, and avoid silos, hot air balloons and other planes. Much of the game is done, it just needs art and some fine tuning.
Here is what it looks like now.
As you can see, my art is terrible. I made them in paint (except for the plane).
If you are interested, I need the following textures.
I would like to have multiple different versions of each of these so it isn't repetative looking. These will all be relatively small sprite images. If you would like to do any or all, or have any questions please let me know. You would be credited in the game. Thanks!

Most of those are basic -- they don't feature moving legs to make them move, for example -- and can just have one image for each sprite. If you don't get a volunteer you may want to try free clip art sites.
Hey flaminsnowman99,
What is the feel of the graphics? Are they more bright and cartoony or true-to-life?
Looks like a fun little game, what are you building it in?

I am going for more of a bright cartoony looking game.
The screenshot is from the Java version of it which will become an Android app. I also have a version in Objective-C for the iPhone version and c++.
Ah nice, Is the plane going to be side-on in perspective? I assume so but better check.
I'd love to have a go at the assets over the next few nights. If there rubbish your welcome to ditch them ;)
I've got some free time tonight, so i'll send through what I come up with.
Yes, the plane flies along the x-axis.
That is great news though! I'd love to see some stuff. It should be a side view of the plane too, not a top view like in the screenshots.
Im in excited to see what you come up with, thanks again!
Hey again,
I came up with a mock up of the plane. Its a Biplane, which feels like it would fit the whole Barnstormer theme/stunt theme.
See the attachment.
Cheers,
I like this a lot. That's what it looked like in my head!
If you removed the "Biplane Concept" I could definately use that for a loading screen. I really like your art style, if you wouldn't mind doing some more art like that, that would be amazing! Thanks!
awesome, I have attached the image again in a slightly bigger size with the removed text.
For the silo, was it meant to be an obsticle that the plane had to go up and over?
I have some spare time over the weekend so I'll try get a few of the assets done then.
That looks amazing! I'm so excited to see your other work.
Silos and hot air balloons will be obstacles that the plane has to avoid, the barn will be able to be flown through, but only the "open doors" part of it. And the clouds are just meant to obstruct your view a little.
Thanks!
Love it! What about birds? They made a wonderful chirp if you hit them in the original!

I tried hooking up an Atari the other day to play the original game because I never have, however, I couldn't get it working. So I don't actually know what the original game is like. Adding birds is definitely a possibility though. I'll look into it.
If you have any other suggestions, feel free to leave them.
Sacre bleu!!
Definitely a must play! Rom shouldn't be too hard to dig up (if you own the physical cartridge then nothing to feel too bad about it emulating it), or if you really trust Java to keep your computer safe, a quick google turned up a site where you can play the game in your browser.

The game is definitely one of the standouts in the 2600 library, out of curiousity, how did you choose it if you've not played the original?

The actual idea came from me just experimenting with a few game concepts. One concept turned into the player "flying" through stuff and barns just kinda made sense. I talked to a friend about the idea and he said like the Atari game and told me about it a little. Then, I just made my version of it and this is what it ended up being.
In the final release of the game, I will probably add a few different game types. One will be to see how far you can fly without crashing, another will be more close to the original, which i just played. Always fun to see the roots of modern gaming.
I want to make the game fun for new players and old so I'm gonna do my best to satisfy everyone.
'Always fun to see the roots of modern gaming.'
Actually kinda funny to think that the original is actually several steps more complex than Flappy Bird.
IIRC, the birds bounce off your propeller a little bit, which I always found satisfying even though hitting them is a negative...

Heres a little scene I've worked on so far to get the sizing of everything in order.
I'm gonna work on the silo and hot air balloon then seperate the lot into pngs for you, Is there a size that you prefer or if i just make them a decent size and you can scale them down??
That looks amazing! As for sizing, the sizes in the image sem very appropriate. So having it's pictures as they are works fine, but even if they are a little too big , I can scale them down easily.
Thanks again for all the hard work, and Happy Holidays if you celebrate them!
Thats great news! and yes happy holidays to you too.
I'll hopefully have the other bits done today but if not i'll be able to finish them off tomorrow.
