Metal Slug 3

[Ton]

Wow, awesome job, Goemar!

[Goemar]

Elephant is nearly done. A crap load more sprites than expected.
Eel has hit a snag and I'm having to go back a few tile columns to make sure it's accurate.

Elephant WIP can be seen HERE


Thought I'd finally add a banner for this, so here it is!



It's something I had laying around from an old Metal Slug comic I was working on, if anyone wants to make something better please do.

[Goemar]

Elephant is now fully complete!

Hey there! Since you were nice enough to comment on my custom sprites, I'll point out some important sprites that need ripping!

First off:
1. Marco & Fio - I have not seen anybody rip their animation at the end of the game where they chuck their guns into the drink. These are very important. Oh, and their kidnapping animation too, and being stuck in that weird biotank with all the clones.
2. Rebel Astro Slugs - Not the ones Gussprint did, I mean the ones you see in the background, that get creamed by the alien saucers as they approach the mothership in Part 2 of Mission 5. (There's this one section where there's TONS of space debris and destroyed slugs floating down as you approach the BIG saucers.)
3. The awesome rockets the Rebels launch the Astro Slugs from! A must rip!
4. The bosses! Those gotta get ripped! Let's see... you got them all on your list, just make sure to rip both of Rootmarks' forms!
5. And finally, don't forget all of Morden's hilarious underwear sprites, including that last animation at the end when he gets his saucer tank back.

Oh, and by the way, I found the Retro Gaming Zone a while back which I am certain is where you came from. (*To self:* That's why I recognized your name in my first post.) Nice job with all of those sprites!
If I ever get my laptop fixed, (*note to self* fix it any way possible) I promise that I'll try to help you on this project by ripping sprites. I've repented of my ways!
Grey_Wolf_Leader, over and out.

Aha! Awesome! Most awesome. I love the Metal Slug Series, and especially this particular 'episode'. Mars People! A thing I like about the Metal Slug series are the rather random names. For example the giant orange crab is called a Chumein Conga. What does it mean? I have no idea, but it's awesome. This project gets a big thumbs up from me. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to the Jupiter King! That will be an ordeal!

Also, at the time of posting this, the Piranha sheet is a broken link.

[Goemar]

This is a private project. BUT the sprites are so well done it can be hard to tell where one animation begins and another ends, so any help on pointing such a thing out will be greatly appreciated Of course if you think I've missed something or made a mistake, let me know!

Sorry to sound like an ass Grey Wolf but at the moment this is a private project, when my internet is better I'll PM you with why, and maybe you can join it - it depends. But yeah they are a few of the more missed sprites, I'll be sure to get onto them.

And the Giant Orange Crab has a name? I did not know that. And oh God the Jupiter King, been having nightmares about that already. Though I'm actually betting it'll be easier than the Hermit Crab boss.

[Goemar]

Piranha link is now working, thanks for pointing that out man.

[Ton]

Looking great, Goemar! That eel is huge!

[Goemar]

Yeah and I picked it because it looked easy after the Hermit Crab. Sadly after the first 10 sprites or so only 6 tiles are given for each sprite, the rest being ones which are repeated from the earlier sprites - making it one tough cookie.

Probably going to start it again as I think I've got helplessly lost with it. Still I love that eel so much that now the elephant is done I'll get straight back on it! (With the Ostrich and Jupiter King coming after that.)

[Ton]

Whew, good luck!

[Goemar]

Well I was playing through the game to get to the Ostrich and make a save state when this guy showed up...


And well, I couldn't resist and have started ripping them (even though the more red foreground pallete doesn't seem to exist as of yet...).

This one seems rather easy (I say now) though I'm not sure if I'll bother with the disappearing effect as it can easily be replicated in most image programs.

EDIT: You know, I think this is probably the freakiest looking thing in the whole series.

[Goemar]

Well that's it so far. Updating it while I'm on the good internet, might not be able to later.

[Ton]

*hides under bed*

[Goemar]

Well Monoeye (without the effect sprites) is done.



I think it's time I went back and added all the bullets, explosions and bits of ice for what has been done so far.

[Chaofanatic]

I do have an unfinished sheet of the Jupiter King...
I ripped most of it a while back for a scene in Quest for Dinner 4 that never got done...

Do ya want me to post it to help out a bit?
