Spark's Sprites v2.0

[SparkMouse]

Is your shadow its own character? Cuz that'd be pretty cool.

After a certain point in the game you basically gain control over it; when you attack it attacks, and its size, strength and position are based on the lighting around you.
But it does have its own personality, so it is kind of its own character.

I guess I never actually posted about this game, so I'll just copy/paste what I posted on MG.

"Shut up! I've got people to save, OK? I don't have time for your trash talk."
"Can you save them, though? Feels to me like I'm a shadow of a doubt! Bwehehe..! You're no hero."
"For once, I'm going to PROVE YOU WRONG!"

As of yet unnamed characters from a game idea I've been sitting on for... probably around two years.
Edited from this sheet because I was roaming around TSR for a cool style to use for the game. Anything else I make of her will more than likely be custom.
And the reference I made in this thing because I literally cannot create characters from scratch LOL.

So far it's a very story-driven game; you play as this girl who is constantly demeaned and tormented by her living shadow. Only she (and other people with living shadows) can hear it talk, but it can physically interact with the world if wants or needs to. However, it is limited to the area in which her actual shadow is cast; if she is standing directly below a light it barely takes up any space, but if, for example, she's standing in front of a flood light projecting onto a far-off wall, it can get pretty big.
In terms of gameplay, it'll be a platformer - hoping to get something metroidvania-y with the outcome. You primarily control the girl, but after a certain point you also gain control over your shadow and can essentially have it act as a shield or weapon. Light sources will be an important factor in the gameplay; if there's too much or too little light you won't be able to use the shadow, but you can also do things like abuse lamps to give yourself massive range on the shadow's attacks.

Obviously I'm not using the edited sprites anymore, but you get the point.
