Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Work continues on Hex Heroes, Prismatic’s real-time-strategy party game which was funded a couple of years ago. Today, the team shared an update as to what’s been going on with the Wii U version.
Prismatic mentioned on Kickstarter that there have been some technical issues on Wii U. That mean the team needed to “revisit the very foundation of how the game is built.” You can read the full update on Kickstarter, but the good news is that progress is going relatively smoothly now. Prismatic hopes to soon have the Wii U version in line with the PC edition showed at GDC earlier this year.

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.).
