[poincgames] supersteemboy on platfinity level 1 : rise from the quantum foam

---

As i sit around waiting for my votemeter to get back to 100% while trying to set up 24/7 autovoter on my minimal server here (no competition mahdiyari ... no worries, its a completely different system anyway, it votes on a pre-selected set of posts or comments read from a flatfile and does those line by line), the point being for @ubasti i lose 100% votes while sleeping or i have to cast them at 98 or 96% power (doesnt matter if you got a $100 vote i suppose). I get this running i can just add links to the file and it will vote every 2.5 hours on the first line, remove that and then wait for 2.5 hours, but for some reason it voted after four minutes the first two times, then went normal .. still dont see why but well...

that's all CATHUB talk isnt it ... i suppose if it runs i could eventually turn it to a bidbot, if i get a $5 vote or more, in over a million accounts and growing can never have enough bidbots right, a bit more of the trolling and people will start to call them counterbots i think

i got to being bored while melting, the air has almost been liquid for a few days now, its body temperature ... this is definitely NOT my kind of weather so i got to making some tiles for supersteemboy (it was superveganboy but well ... obsessed lol) in platfinity.

As i am not much of a graphic artist i have to hack my way around it... generated tiles (or blender, which is snazzy but very time-consuming for a passtime like this, and ofcourse, poinc is clearly not microsoft-free lol)

svg works fine, i can just "type" the graphic

already had the platform and the background there from last time , and a POS-levelmusic too

so we start with

<svg width="256px" height="256px">

<defs>
    <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="0%" y2="100%">
      <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:rgb(25,25,25);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="20%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,25);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="50%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,12);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,0);stop-opacity:1" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>

 <rect x="0" y="0" width="256" height="256" rx="10" ry="10"
     style="fill:url(#grad1);
            stroke: #000000;
            stroke-width: 5;"</svg>

and alter the gradient 9 times to get 10 tiles up to

<svg width="256px" height="256px">

<defs>
    <linearGradient id="grad1" x1="0%" y1="0%" x2="0%" y2="100%">
      <stop offset="0%" style="stop-color:rgb(255,255,255);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="20%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,255);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="25%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,225);stop-opacity:1" />
      <stop offset="100%" style="stop-color:rgb(0,0,225);stop-opacity:1" />
    </linearGradient>
  </defs>

 <rect x="0" y="0" width="256" height="256" rx="10" ry="10"
     style="fill:url(#grad1);
            stroke: #000000;
            stroke-width: 5;" />

</svg>

push it to imagemagick batch script also from last time

and i'm left with about 102 tiles in under 30 minutes, not bad in this heat, pixel art is not for lazy people like me who can't draw

i was trying to fix up a steemit logo yesterday (you can download those as svg but wheres the fun in that?

<svg width="256" height="256">

<path d="
M128 0 
L100 64 
L124 196 
L110 256 
L150 196 
L124 64
Z  "
style="fill:blue;stroke: #005000;stroke-width: 2;"/>

<path d="
M64 20 
L36 84 
L60 176 
L46 236 
L86 176 
L60 84
Z  "  />

<path d="
M196 2 
L164 84 
L190 176 
L174 236 
L216 176 
L190 84
Z  " />

</svg>

import it all into platfinity (platfinity is just a fun tool solely level editiing and design, zero scripting, not really AAA+ game stuff but at €1.5 its really worth the money, here's hoping i can keep my mind up long enough to get back to gamegure, rpg maker and eventuall appgamekit)

BEFORE :

and

AFTER

i feel like the curve is a bit steep and level two will have to be pushed further up the line here hah, if it ever gets finished ill probably put it up in a torrent or something i doubt steam will greenlight that (although ive seen worse)

---

so all graphics except the *PRO*tagonist by me .. and the thing with the arrow, music by me and superscripting not available (the lvl 1 music is one from my collection when i had zounds of inspiration, should be nearly 15 years old or somethin, no wait ... older than that :))

and that's it for lazy-gamedev for today
