Hi all! It's been a while hasn't it?
I'm sorry for the delay, I've been working as much as I could on this project and my side project as well.
To clear up Ton as to why I declined, the company was trying to low-ball me an hourly rate which did not match my experiences nor my resume. Also for the kind of work I would have been doing, the rate they were offering was no where near the amount others were getting paid. But hey, live and learn, next time I'll do more research.
Anyway I've modified the idle stances to be a bit more natural. The left facing sprites have had their cannons shaded and their shoulders have been fixed. I feel everything looks much more standard now.
Your comments and critics fuel this project so don't stop!
I don't know when I'll be able to release another update because from here forward I'm going to really stick my head down and focus on my game (going ostrich on this bitch) because honestly, as much as I love Metroid and these sprites, the IP isn't mine and it can be taken away from the community whenever Nintendo wants. I need to work on something that can potentially put some much needed money in my pocket.
Thanks everyone for the help so far!
