**** ANDROID ARTS : NIKLAS JANSSON ****
RAM THE SYSTEM - BYTES WANTS TO BE FREE
READY.
10 DATA : Arne Niklas Jansson is writing this in third person, because that's how things are done on some websites. He likes to draw stuff, but sometimes he can be a bit of a slacker. Most of the time when he draws stuff it's stuff from and for games.
He also used to play games, but now he's too old and grumpy.
20 PEEK :
Bomber Queen -
Robo Warrior, a.k.a. Bomber King seems to be an experimental version of a Bomberman game. It had a fun first level but quickly became monotonous later on. With this project I try to give the game mechanics a meaning in the story and setting. Anecdote: As a kid I managed to do the 'infinite items' cheat by random chance.
Viper Girl -
Gradius for the NES was an early and pretty decent shmup. Raiden II is the most looking game of this genre, but I think I like Compile's shmups the most. I tried to flesh out the Viper Girl universe a bit and make sure that the gameplay is not some abstract system like it is in most shmups.
Star Control -
This project is a bit of a mess because I've revised it so many times. Here's a page with a few of the more recent drawings. The game is a paraphrase of StarFlight with some 'SpaceWar!' gameplay thrown in, so I was thinking of combining the two universes somehow.
Tower of Kana - I hope I can get around to working on this project some more. I figure that it'd be a nice way to learn reading japanese (or any other language for that matter).
Flying Spaghetti Monster - More than likely, You have already been Touched by His Noodly Appendage.
Megaman Legends - This is one of my favourite game series. Megaman Legends has some wonderful characters, with Tron Bonne and the ReaverBots being the stars of the show. I threw in some classic Megaman designs just for kicks. As for the gameplay, I haven't worked much on that yet...
Master of Orion 1 - Perhaps I am one of those which prefer the fisrt game over the second. A bit into this project I derailed and started on my own 4X game. It's kind of abandoned halfway through.
Xexyz / Turtle game - This game has a nice atmosphere for the first level. The project turned into an X-Com style game halfway through.
I couldn't resist, since many of the components (such as suits and vehicles) were there.
I never actually played much X-Com, but I have a feeling I would like that kind of game if it's not done with stale realistic 3D.
RebelStar Raiders - A precursor to the popular X-Com. So far I've pretty much only done the research part by dumping the game data for reference purposes. The game has pretty neat tiny graphics, with detailed interiors. I might merge this project with my RebelSquad project.
Rygar - It's the beginnings of a Rygar project. I tried to stay pretty close to the sprites here. More comments on the image.
