Also, robots.

So, I don't actually have a name for my game yet. I do have some sprites that I have lying around, and which I have already revised numerous times.

Like this:

Main character's on the left, and all manner of assorted evil doppelganger goons are on the right.

Or how about this guy, who first appears as a miniboss, and then, later, as a normal enemy?


And Edgar, who started out as a joke, but who I just might add for the heck of it? (His flame is sort of supposed to look like a deformed hand.)


And the second boss, very much still a WIP:


...I don't actually feel like I'm getting anywhere with this game, but who knows? Someday, I just might finish it! Crit away!

EDIT: Nurikabe


EDIT 2: Title screen WIP

EDIT 3: Big Guy WIP

Edgar doesn't really seem to match the style of the robots at all. I think the robots could use some colour too.

I know - the color schemes are really preliminary. Just to get a basic feel for the characters, I guess. I can always recolor them in Photoshop later, but right now, I'm lazy.

this guy needs regular legs, not just those little curves. other and I agree that edgar seems out of place.

this is still some really nice art for a game though.

Well, for "this guy" (pending name is Heavyhand), I was going for sort of a humorous look with his huge forelimbs and shoulderpads and shrunken torso, scrawny legs, and general horrid posture.

But thanks!

Hey everybody! Sort of forgot about this topic, but thanks for the comments.

Just to show I haven't abandoned this or anything, have a Nurikabe!



He'll act as more of an obstacle than an actual enemy, but I don't know - maybe if you stand in front of him for too long, he eats you or something. Just throwing out ideas.

Hmm... those rotating pixels look a bit rough.  Maybe if you anti-alias them more...?

Actually, I didn't rotate - I did it by hand. Don't feel like anti-aliasing, either. I kind of want to keep the... I don't know, simple feel? My goal isn't exactly realism.

Yeah... that's okay.  I like it anyway.  It's stylized.  Beer!

That nurikabe guy rocks, I love him. He could double as something to give you a boost up to higher places Smiley

Lookin' cool. I love robots, so this is a win.

the miniboss is really nice looking.

I disagree with salade. I think the curves as legs gives it a really cool stylized feeling.

very good progress so far. Your latest one, yurigabe i think is charming. Somehow i would love to see some steam/smole coming of the top of it. I'm sorry he remind me top much of a chimney :D Maybe he could use smoke cloud to escape. Like a squid with their ink.

Maybe when you beat him he falls over to make a bridge?
