Only the far back layer and castle have been recolored.

The background has become a lot better.
It's nowhere near as distracting and noisy.

But the ground/stage still could be neutralized.

EDIT: So apparently it was JPG'd to hell and back. It should be fine now.


Before I go on I do have some choices to make with the idle stance which would effect how I would do every other action.

Choose from 1 or 2 and A and B, please. Or if both 1 and 2 are hated at least pick from A and B.

I'd go with A, since he'll be facing the current direction for most of the time, and not bad.

I'll simplify the shading on the tree, blimp and floor and see if it's an improvement.
Also, because my BG is busy at it is, I had an idea for Splot and Bolt for possible assists.
Splot could trap an opponent in his gelatinous body, while Bolt beats him/her up, also hurting Splot in a comical way.

Would this addition be acceptable for the game, seeing as I already have a fully playable character sheet?
I'm also curious how many of you are familiar with either character, if any.

your character is like

three meters tall and that means you're fucking huge

the box's size equals, like, two meters and the fact that you can barely fit it with the legs bent means you're gigantic.

I kinda decided to try to make a character

C+C?
Things I should work on?
And yeah, it's a floating bomb I wanted to make it simple cuz I'm an amauteur

First of all, it does look amateuristic. Too amateuristic for my taste, sorry.
Also you have to be a member for atleast 2 months. Read the first post.

It's hard to critique, because the only mistakes you could really make is what the line and circle tool can make. It lacks depth, though it's affordable in this style.
And, because you are new, we can hardly relate that character to you. It just seems too random to us.

OH, must have msised it
Well then, sorry for this
But, as long I'm here,is there anyway I could improve the quality of the sprite?

Of course, but you may want to make a new spriting thread.

Unlucky, I tried editing your sprite to make a couple points:

- A colored 1px-thick outline looks pretty bad most of the time (in my opinion, at least)
- You want to shade the diamonds in a way that gives them depth.


Anywho the 2-month rule is just to keep people who pop in and fade out from appearing in a tSR game. Just hang out for a while and be cool, it'll fly by fast

Bob, thanks for the help
As well as for everyone else
Well, I'll take the time to improve my skills
I'm looking forward for this game so keep up the good work
And I can't stress this enough, I'm sorry

Stage sheet update. Neutralized the tree, floor and blimp a bit. Tree now contains the cheated brown from the castle.

There should be a Goldmine level.

OH WOW

Its Ekoi.

I prefer A, but I would definitely scale down your character. If only a little bit.
He just seems... overly tall? His legs are bent, and is even still taller then all of
the straight legged human characters.

I may have missed that detail somewhere. It's certainly not in the guide. x:

If 64p = 200cm then I could certainly to an exact scale of my 6'2" character. I was mainly eyeing-it before based on the sizes of the other characters(whose height data I didn't quite have at hand) and common global averages.



I kinda thought erryone was just kinda winging it, ha hah.

EDIT: ohi Britt.

Animations:

Walk-cycle was/is a nightmare. 6 frames because of the pace. Anyway, the idea is that Splot absorbs the opponent, Bolt casually walks to the swallowed foe and burns him/her.
