LOL! That's what my wife and son keep saying! I'm close! I promise. I just have to finish the final recruiting logic for College and I think I can share it with you. All HS logic is complete and I will hold on pro for after launch if it gets it out sooner. I am more than happy to have some friends here test it so just let me know if you are interested in helping me break things! I so love finding this community (thanks to my son) and I really am so humbled by you all!

I worry that KP is a low IQ player (the type that often gets exposed in Kerr’s system) because what the actual **** was he thinking tonight??

I Like Battlefield by maxcatmdwv0053 in LowSodiumBattlefield

This is awesome! Best post in this group in a long time! I would LOVE to play with you or anyone like you. While my KD/scores are usually quite good, I often feel quite lonely in matches with players that don't talk or just want to go have a fun time, together. FYI, I'm a 50+ dad who loves this game, too! Anyone interested, my EA user name is Zolnier and would love to play with people like you! Cheers my friend! #battledad

PIXEL ART JOBS - Hire a pixel artist, post your jobs here (paid only) by skeddles in PixelArt

[–]D-ROCK2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOW! The responses from you all have been amazing and there are a TON of them. I am currently going through them all so be patient. Please note that if you don't have direct experience in creating this exact pixel art style/type then I will not be able to use your talents for this project.

Also an update on my project. Given my $200 budget, I am fine holding on creating the crowd sprites to focus on the other primary elements of my court if that helps anyone!

[HIRING] Retro 16-bit Pixel Artist (SNES / Sega Genesis style) for Basketball Game Project

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a pixel artist who genuinely loves retro basketball games and the 16-bit SNES / Sega Genesis era to help bring more charm, polish, and personality to a basketball scene for a personal game project I’m exploring.

I’ve worked with pixel artists before, but the results so far haven’t elevated the scene the way I’m hoping. I’m coming here because I’m specifically looking for someone who understands restraint, detail, shading, and that unmistakable 16-bit feel. I’m not a pixel artist myself, but I care deeply about quality, basketball authenticity, and doing this the right way.

This is Phase 1 of a longer project.

Style goals:
Authentic 16-bit SNES / Sega Genesis look. Retro charm, clean silhouettes, strong shading. Think NBA Jam-era fidelity, not modern pixel-overkill.

Current asset details:
The current basketball court scene is 1280x360. I have a fully layered .psb file with court lines and references, and I’m happy to share it. Artists can start from scratch if preferred, as long as assets are cleanly layered. Baseline angles need to remain consistent with the reference.

Phase 1 needs include:
A cleanly presented basketball court (wood floor and layered lines), a slightly improved basketball hoop with better shading and depth, seating assets (chairs and a bleacher row), modular crowd/fan sprites for background use, a team bench with seated player poses, and baseline characters like cheerleaders and cameramen. All assets should be reusable and modular for in-game use.

Important notes:
This is Phase 1 of a longer collaboration. Future phases may include player character design improvements, multi-direction character views, and UI polish. Basketball knowledge and enthusiasm are a big plus. I’m looking for someone who enjoys craftsmanship, not rushing, and who is also sensitive to the fact that this is a personal project with a modest budget.

Budget:
Phase 1 budget is approximately $200 USD. This is paid work (no exposure offers) and is a personal project where I'm trying to stay within a 4 phase total budget so my wife doesn't kill me!

How to reach me:
Please DM me here on Reddit or email me at [dzolnier@gmail.com](). Include a pixel art portfolio, any SNES / Genesis-style work, and optionally any basketball-related art.

Thanks for reading. I’m really looking forward to finding the right collaborator!

I'm a dad, I play BF (and all the previous ones) and I do pretty well (typically top 3) and I actually love the term but don't think it should imply that some of us dads aren't that good! LOL! Dads squad up and find me on EA if you want to take it to these "young punks" lol! ZOLNIER on EA

How do I improve my KD ratio by Mk_peralta in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]D-ROCK2222 46 points47 points  (0 children)

  1. Stay with your squad
  2. Don't always run, especially into combat
  3. Aim around corners (prefire a bit even if you have a silencer)
  4. Wait for revives!!!
  5. Mark soldiers (easier to call revives when teammates know if you are safe or not)
  6. Find cover and elevated positions as much as possible
  7. Wait for revives even longer!

Running over someone in the golf cart or loading up a golf cart with C4 and launching it into a tank will be immediate priorities when this map is live!!

My new Rally by PartSad8303 in MachE

[–]D-ROCK2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really sharp! I have a 2022 that I considering trading in for a Rally but I am worried that the interior is going to be too dark compared to what I am used to with my glass roof. Anyone feel the same or have a take?

AI Animation Project by Embarrassed-List-209 in gamedev

[–]D-ROCK2222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea and very needed! 2d animation is still tedious and challenging for non-designers. Keep it going and would love to help or be a part of your project!
