Well, it might not be on the DS, but hopefully it'll be showing up on consoles (or at least on Steam) in the future.

To be fair, it's also a case of finding the time thanks to my busy work schedule. I have a few in mind that I'm interested in, but whether or not I get around to it remains to be seen.

I've always been interested in this theme and I'm REALLY tempted to give it a shot if I can find some inspiration. 

Hmm... I've been looking for an excuse to start making an NPC or two for my game

Nice, glad to see you doing more in this style, it's a very pleasant style

Thank you, I feel like I'm starting to hit my stride with animating with this project, not sure what it is, maybe because I'm finally working with my own original characters I feel a need to put more attention into them or something, but I've been very happy with a lot of the results

It's always tough for me to answer that sort of question because I have ADHD, so this took me a number of hours to make, but probably half of that was be getting distracted by FNF remixes on youtube or watching my roommate's cat run away from the roomba.

But if I had to give a legit answer...  probably somewhere between 10-20 hours I guess? Honestly maybe even less but with how easily distracted I get... yeah

Not yet, I'm waiting until I have enough to get a solid trailer and what not made first

He can retract or extend them during the fight. Due to how I plan on that attack working, I wanted to keep the general hitbox rather condenced. I may change it later if my ideas for it change though.

Interesting style, it gives me Paper Mario vibes while having it's own uniqueness to it, I like it. Kinda of makes me think it'd be at home as a HK spinoff game for the phone or something, like a gatcha RPG type deal. The only thing that bugs me (bu-dum psh) is that the top of the knight's head has a 1 pixel thick outline versus everything else which has 2 pixels thick.

New one looks really good. I will say that I'm having a bit of trouble reading the face though, I think it's because his cut is so dark while his mouth line sort of blends, so my brain kept seeing the cut as a tiny mouth and didn't even notice his actual mouth at first.

I wish I could post more, although most of my spriting lately is from my game project and I'm cautious about showing too much this early in. I may start posting up some smaller things like enemies and what not though.

Sorry, SMBX's sprites are x2, so I sort of forgot to adjust that on the sheet before uploading it. As for an animation, sure, I'll make one.

EDIT- CHanged it, although I will say, I'm not too good at setting up animations, but hopefully this gets the idea across.

The original designs were actually made by an LPer named raocow, however I  changed them up (some more than others) when making them in this style.

Well I'll be.

You can check out the games booth from NCFC 2012 (Nintendo Community Fangames Convention) if you'd like. It offers some screen shots, story, character bio, and a demo of the first two worlds, as well as half of world 3. Just keep in mind that some changes have been made since then so you may run into some glitches that have since been fixed or some older graphics that have been replaced (Captain Syrup and Buzzy Beetle for example).

Well, in the actual game he's moving around a lot more so it isn't an issue, but I can see how it would be here.

Actually, it is being made into a game. A lot of the graphics on my page are from a game called "Mushroom Patrol: Midas Machine" which I've been working on for 6 years now (off an on).

Well, I keep everything on an SVN account but thats as close to a devlog as I have for it.

As I said in the description, the moder design for the blooper is actually rather thin compared to the older design.

Hey, someone noticed. Glad you like it, I thought it would be neat to have a creature thats only purpose is to block paths, holding a staff with a gate on it.

The arms are spheres, just like the legs.

I have a few custom designs that I've sprited. I'll probably upload some later on. Others are semi custom. They are new designs based on existing charaters (like BowzWare).

It's floating, although it's going to be used when moving as well. As for the hair, it's meant to be... I don't want to say jumpy but... hmmmm Whats the word... Well, it was meant to originally have a somewhat electric, unpredictable look, but it looked bad, so I combined the idea of it being jumpy with smooth which more or les resulted in what it is now. It's hard to explain.

Thanks. I made it back in 06 and I've used it as my personal character since... 07 I think.
