Foobook!

I like the Ampton replacement, though maybe the walking could be improved (unless it floats or something). The menu could use a lot of polishing. For example Keen should have a more shocked look on his face rather than being serious.

A nice start on the virobot methinks. We must discuss this tileset some. (The first thing to do would be the main level ground I should think.)

Yes, I think that walking animation can be polished some.. I've never really done one with three legs... :confused

And @Levellass: I've got a rough idea of how we can share that tileset, which I've sent in an email.

Can't say I've gotten any tileset stuff in the email yet. I think the virobot needs some sharp pointed feet, like viruses have.

Whoops! I guess I didn't! They're in the Keen Mod dropbox folder, though, so you can access them now. I hope you use Keengrout! :lol

And that virobot suggestion has merit; I'll work on some pointy feet.

Well, if you need any example of how to do the legs, a Bacteriophage would propably be the best example (which the Virobot already resembles) ;)

Who doesn't use KeenGrout! Seriously, that program is such a timesaver. It's genius, I tell you!

I'm really tempted to go take a biology course. I'd have no practical use for it, it's just so fascinating.

Silly me took psychology in my VCE years. Bad idea.

Ugh, psych. I can tell you, bio has so much more to offer, even for one such as me who only grazed the surface.

I sure don't, it's time consuming to split images up into tiles, and it doesn't handle translucent tiles (Of which I'm very fond.) at all. I'm working on making KeenGraph grout for me. (One of these years!)

Well then you better get on that, CK Guy.

Eh, or not. KG's fine for my purposes.
