SDK Spriter “Overworld” trailer, details
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
HulLBreach Studios prepared a new SDK Spriter trailer which shows overworld creation. See the video below.
“Overworld” is one of four level types users can make in SDK Spriter. Here’s the full explanation from HullBreach:
SDK Spriter is an all-in-one studio for creating retro video game assets, including character sprite sheets, tile sets, maps, and full levels. The final assets can be exported to Miiverse™ or SDKSpriter.com. It is exclusive to the Wii U™ console.
There are 4 primary components to SDK Spriter: Sprites, Tiles, Maps, and Levels.
Sprites are comprised of 64×64 pixel art characters that have eight frames of animation for each compass direction. The resulting sprite sheet is a PNG image.
Tiles are comprised of 64×64 tile pixel art that is assembled into a 16×16 grid. The resulting tile set is a PNG image.
Maps are 128×128 layered grids of tiles and collision rules that reference an existing tile set.
Levels are a combination of layered maps, a player sprite, multiple non-player character sprites, and metadata. Levels come in four forms: Overworld, Platformer, Terrain, and Dungeon Master. Depending on the level type, they follow basic rendering rules (i.e. fog, TV masking, shading, layering, tilt angle, etc.) and physics rules (gravity, collision-detection, warping, etc.).

Miyamoto says Nintendo is keeping quiet on NX due to a certain “idea”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 232 Comments
The NX was announced well over a year ago, but we still know relatively little about the system. That will finally change later this year. But as we wait, little drops of information are let out here and there. This time, we have a new quote from Shigeru Miyamoto.
The Associated Press recently asked Miyamoto about the new console cycle revolution. This prompted him to say that Nintendo hasn’t shared anything about NX due to a special “idea”.
Miyamoto stated:
“In terms of NX, there’s an idea that we’re working on. That’s why we can’t share anything at this point, and I don’t want to comment on the other companies. If it was just a matter of following advancements in technology, things would be coming out a lot quicker.”

Earlier this month, Lizardcube and DotEmu announced Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap. The project is planned as a modern version of the SEGA Master System game. In fact, series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa is even on board.
