And I quote...

nex is a brand new, and original, puzzle game from Coffeehat Studios.

The game is played on a field - much like Tetris or Bejeweled - and the player must follow the game rules to complete the paticular game mode.

But, the game itself isn't important. What I'm looking for are artists to create "themes" for the game. Though, I could easily do this on my own, I feel like its a great way to bring more of a community front to the game.

Each theme is comprised of 7 main parts. A cursor, 2 pieces, 2 acivated pieces, a "dead" piece, and a background. All of these parts (background excluded) must fit in a 32x32 space.

Here is an example of a theme:


Now. Making a theme isn't without its reward. Each theme will have it's own Infopane in game, allowing players (after unlocking a theme) to view its info. On the Infopane I can place whatever you want. URL's, emails, or other personal details.

More theme examples:


And themes in use:


(earlybuild)


The game will be 100% freeware, with no profits going to myself or any of the other developers.

If you're interested, you can contact me via:

Or, post your theme in this topic.

And I finish quoting.

Basically thought some of the pixel gurus around here might've been interested. Or, if one of the Convergence boys wanted to make a theme to throw in here too.

your company logo is dumb

i wanna play it :(

meep: so is your face.

adrian: soon. very soon.

Here ya go. If you want more or need art for anything really just let me know.

oh, fantastic. thanks atlas. :)

nice and simple - exactly what this sort of game needs.

Inspired by classic puzzle game Clockwiser :)

And thanks to you too, Daj! These themes look incredible in game, for example:

rawr

also, project page on coffeehat updated.

user created themes will now be able to be implemented/downloaded. :D

ballin', pretty much.

The Network menu, aside from allowing players to check the online scoreboards, will allow players to download new themes to play with.

Also, Daj and Atlas. What do you want your themes to be called?

That looks cool. Downloadable themes is a great idea.

I think my theme should probably be called the 'Clockwiser' theme.

The Robutt Theme


Here's the background:


infopane:
Robutt is a much better game than this one.

awesome delita. great to see some people taking advantage of advertising. ;)

also, the theme (though it looks great) is a bit confusing on the eye. would it be okay if i changed one of the colors to blue or something else so its a bit easier to see the patterns?

Don't, I'll change the upside down one to a diff character.

i fixed a bunch of things

much better. thanks once again for the support. the more themes the merrier as far as i'm concerned.

Small insight into gameplay.

ALSO, we are now looking for a few people to Beta test. Lemme know if you're interested.

I call it "Espora".


The background (if you can make it tile):

:o

Alright. Is anyone interested in testing?

i wanna test, i give good feedback
also that espora one fucking breaks my eyeballs

That's right.

I'd like to test too.

Awesome. Two testers. :D

I'll PM you guys soon with linx.

I would like to test, but I'm very afraid of the addictiveness! I need to sleep and stuff.

Here's a couple of themes for your viewing and playing pleasure:

"Colours"



"NEXus"



Background for the one above:



Beta seems gooooood. But you know that already don't you.

That is all.

All good. I had to do some editing for it to make sense, but it's all good. ;)
