This guy is the hero of an NES-style horror platform game I'm now working on. The main character design is 28x28 pixels, 8 colors, but the canvas size expands with the attacks and jumps, and the color palette goes up to about 14 during the injured/dying stuff. The game is set in the late 19th century, and the hero is a square-jawed mustachioed gentleman with a swordcane, fighting vampires and mummies and stuff. The gameplay has an interesting twist which I won't reveal until we're a lot further along with the development...

Yeah, buff him up and he's Hagar :)

Looks great!

yes yes yes, I like the dying animation in particular

I like him, but if he was barechested (but still with the suspenders) he would look like Hagar from Final Fight :D

Good point, thanks nvision! You're right; I'll see if I can do something with that...

Very cool character...I could see him running through an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel! My only criticism would be with his legs when he jumps...they seem rather wooden and heavy. Perhaps a change of positioning might make the jump a little more dynamic?

Awesome job once aagain. The eye blinking is a great detail.

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/13/2006 8:11:04 AM

Thanks! I was actually trying to keep him down to 24x24... :)

Looks good mate! 28x28 is not an easy canvas size to fit a lot of detail into, but you pulled it off great! +5!

Not bad at all! I l really like it.

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/13/2006 5:33:23 AM

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't have any plans for those monsters while I was working on them, but some of them will definitely appear in the game, probably modified a bit. You're on the right track with the twist, but it's a little more complicated than that...

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) at 9/13/2006 5:30:52 AM

Im guessing that the plot twist is that he beomes a vampire/werewolf/zombie himself later on in the game. Some of your monster designs are top notch will any of them be featuring in this game?

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/13/2006 4:53:29 AM

Thanks TheChaindog! I think this guy will be a lot of fun; he's a ridiculous gung-ho explorer/scholar/archeologist/boxer/fencer/daredevil pilot/treasure hunter/etc, way too brave for his own good, all that good stuff.

I already congrdulate you on your choice of hero. Someone like this is way cooler to play than some anime teenage girly dude or a bald space marine.
I'm looking forward to seeing more. Great work, man.

Cyrano (Level 1 Intern) at 9/13/2006 2:53:55 AM

That is awesome :)

You are gifted for game design and animation ! I admire you.

Mykola (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 9/13/2006 1:54:32 AM

I wanna play it! :D Great hero

alpix (Level 1 Rookie) at 9/13/2006 12:43:47 AM

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 9/12/2006 11:53:56 PM

Now that is pure awesome. Another excellent piece by you, keep up the good work :D

Spider Boy (Level 3 Hatchikyu) at 9/12/2006 7:08:51 PM

Wow! Great animation and pixel! Rating 5/5

ManningKrull (Level 6 Hitman) at 9/12/2006 6:19:22 PM

I just really wish we'd thought of this game idea early enough to have it done for Halloween...

milkyjon (Level 4 Murderer) at 9/12/2006 5:09:53 PM
