bullet Topic: Sprites Needed: Sedge’s Painforest
    Posted: 13 February 2006 at 12:12pm

A more indepth description of the world

I want to see sprites of the jungle variety.

Banana throwing monkies,  rampaging rhinos, snakes, etc.

Boss character is a monkeyfied version of Sedge. I'd like to see some reference to his characters made into himself. Basically, I am keeping the descriptions fairly basic so as to get a good amount of interpretations from everyone.

Keep your colours simple so we can easily edit. Animations will be required.

Anything else I should mention? Post it here.

The smaller sprite of sedge looked tighter. The shading on the bigger one is a little bit too random and he doesnt look very manacing.

Just a suggestion about Sedge's boss moves: Perhaps he could act like Donkey Kong? It would be a cool reference to the originals of videogames I reckon.

Personally, I'd like to hear from the sedgeman himself. He's bound to have some interesting input into the origins of his monkey alias.

Alright. I love snakes, andddddd suck at characters. BUT. I'll try make myself a snake and stick it out here, see if I can't put myself in somehow.

(EDDDIT. AH. I -DO- have a snake. Here. Maaaybe that's what it will look like... sort of?

Background = terrible)

AND. Are the tiles gonna be metroid-like, in that there's the five-pixel layer of surface, then the fade to pure black? It makes life easy, and actually looks quite nice.

Yes. We must wait on Sedge to make Sedge. Or something. Today, I make no sense. For that, I apologise.

That's my best effort at a rampaging rhino. Didn't get the "rampaging" part much, but a few things that could be done to make it look rampaging.. I've tried, but none of these have worked for me.

-Dropped shoulder, dust kicking, snorting, stamping.

One of the snakes could be closely blended with the background and form a noose, like a trap.

Annnd yeah. Miiight try anims later. We shall see.

Okay, I'm working on a small enemy sprite. What would any forest be without pesky mosquitos?

I have the basic body down, just need to work on the wings and the animation.

I like the body, but I think it would look better with more bug-like wings. I'll edit with an example of what I mean real soon.

Yeah I wasn't sure how to go about doing the wings. I don't think you'd actually see the wings too much because they're flapping so fast. I was going for more of an action-lines type approach to see how it looks. And help on the wings would be greatly appreciated.

i'll be working on a small poison dart frog, if that's ok. i'll edit this post to put it in. however, i have no animation program, so someone will have to do it, unless there's an online free animator.

Alrighty then, here's a sort of tribute to petey pirana from super mario. Sort of looks like it could be friendly. Heheh. I'll have a crack at some waddling and biting animations sometime.

I used Sibix's tile template, if that's ok with him.

Transparent versions:

So I had this idea today of a banana canon.

I whipped this up. I think it still needs tweaking, but wanted to get opinions.

Lol, i like that idea JJ_Maxx. The wheels on the 'BanCan' are very nice, but shouldnt the banana curve up? Then the monkeys could aim it up and down. That would be quite comedic to see a bunch of monkeys coming out of a bush with a banana cannon in their midst.

And thanks kwigbo! Although i'm having some trouble animating it, i'm trying to get it to waddle and when it bites to snap forwards (tweaking in the bite still would be needed) If anyone would like to have a go that would be great.

Just A Question Why Do You Type Like This?

Anyways... Hey JJ, why not try and make it so the banana spits the ball out.
Like someone is basically squeezing or squishing it out if the peel?

perhaps, he could gain the 'Shark-chomp" move and then eat it,
otherwise KABOOM pj dies in a massive bananary splat.

Hm, if it was a single fire banana shot out of the peel, there should be an annoying little monkey that jumps on it to launch it. Or not. Just an idea. I don't really know what kind of game this is going to be other than that I know it's a side-scrolling platformer, so I need to read up of the rest of the information before I can even offer suggestions.

No worries Wannahla...*gets bored writing out name* ...Wanna! That's what i shall call you, if you dont mind. Yes, no worries there, sounds like a nice idea. Then the banana skin and other parts of the cannon could quickly rot into the ground... if anyone understand that. THEN TEH MONKEY COULD KILL STICKY PJ.
