Recently, I've posted a character's idle and walking animations to pixeljoint:  I was pretty excited about working on a NES-ish game, but then a some things struck me: 1. Small, "chubby" character are a pain to animate properly 2. A smaller screen resolution means less space for gameplay 3. I usually prefer "serene" idle animations (also, "bumpy" animations are more suitable for fighting characters, IMHO) So, I redesigned the character, ditched the NES pallete and did a minimal idle animation:  What do you think about it? I think it lacks the energy of the first version, but that's sort of the point. |

I can hardly tell what the idle animation is doing. I think you should remake the old one. Remake looks great though. ------------- |
