I ink them with Micron pens, that come in various widths.

The ceiling is just lines drawn with a ruler (though the jpeg compression might make it look like there's a texture.) The other textures are either made by Photoshop filters or by manipulating textures from modeling packs and free stock photo websites. Do you use layer effects to add the patterns? Do you add the patterns to a painted area? or use only the pattern?

maybe you should do a tutorial John? :idea:

Do you use layer effects to add the patterns? Do you add the patterns to a painted area? or use only the pattern? I use all sorts of layer effects (hue, multiply, darken) depending on what kind of result I want. Sometimes I'll use more of the pattern, somtimes I'll only have anout 10% of the pattern showing through. There's no one way that I do it.

I'm learning from this! it could help me with my game as well.

hi john with you converting the demo to AS, is the full game going to be done with AS too?

Yep, the whole game will be in AS.

cool m8... how are you finding it?

I'm relearning slowly. Overall, though, it's great.

I'm relearning slowly. Sorry John! I figured you'd probably want to beat me along side the head as I was building AS (what with all the subtle differences there are between the two systems and all), but I really did try to make it as painless as possible... the simple truth is that Action Script and Lingo are enough different that you just can't develop for them in tandem (at least, not if you want to let the stronger sibling soar). My original goal for LassieAS was actually to make games publishable for both systems from one project file. But when push came to shove, I went with the facts: Flash is taking off in a big way. Director is going nowhere fast. So I decided to break away with it.

Oh, I'm not complaining. It's been so long since I used regular LASSIE that I'd have to relearn either version of the engine. I'm really liking AS so far, just still seem to be some things to try to figure out.

oh man this game rules, i can't wait until it comes out

Glad you like it so far!

Hahaha... Just wait. John has yet to flabberghast the world with the full amazingness of this title. Welcome Todd, glad to have you join us!

:D Thanks BigMac, I had 2 other accounts but i signed them up with hotmail emails and now those accounts have been deleted so i signed up for lycos :) Glad i can get on these forums now
