NEW STUFF: ORIGINAL: The Guy:  Some lighting and some movement: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCwTSaYhAToReally itching to hear feedback, what works/doesn't work so far! Also feel free to follow my Twitter @TwistingYarn for more. My goal is to create a game that feels like a natural progression in the PM series of 64 -> TTYD -> ??. I've seen several other games inspired by this series and with similar goals, but none that I know of have taken the leap to full 3D characters; I see tons of potential in this style so here I am.

The stuff you've been waiting for, concept art of a character you don't recognize. I will post more actual gameplay soon.  |

This is neat!  I'm not super into Paper Mario for the battles, but I do like the story progression and general feel of TTYD enough to have played/copiloted it more than once, so this is interesting to me. I just found out about Bug Fables, so it's cool to see a bunch of PM-styled indie games cropping up! The graphics are great too. The GIF almost looks like a bunch of fridge magnets, love it. Obviously almost verbatim the same as in PM, down to the Mario-looking character, so I'm curious to know if you're not interested in making it more your own? I get it if you just want to scratch the PM fan itch tho! |

Thanks Prinsessa! I agree, the general feel of TTYD is something special. I don't know if I'll be able to truly re-capture it, but it has certainly inspired me! You asked a very good question! Would I like to make it more unique? YES. I'm trying to move forward more so on the programming end of things because I think code quality preserves better than my opinion of my own art.  I could spend a week designing a character and want to completely re-design it in 6 months, but a stable back-end will always be stable (... mostly). |

felt inspired to do something new.. so here is an enemy WIP: an egg-in-a-bowl person. it will give me an excuse to implement a few more new systems in combat with the type of attacks I intend to give him!  |

Fridge magnets are the best comparison point, yeah. It's interesting how the character is flat but not flat at all at the same time
Also a big Paper Mario fan, so really curious to see where this will end up!

I agree on the fridge magnet comparison. i'm interested in adding some more organic deformation to the animation in the future, so we will see how that goes |

Anyone else think of a really, really determined baby who will be thwarted by their parent at the last second whenever they see the egg dude?

We all know the problem of hyper-polishing one tiny detail. Result looks great though!

have some new things to show off with enemy attacks and state changes: probably going to spend some time on behind-the-scenes stuff now, so if you've been following and have any comments/suggestions/whatever now is good time to share! |

did some behind the scenes stuff to prepare for sound FX and music (nothing good to actually show on that front yet.) started working on a new character: dragon tried without the outline mesh, im still figuring out how I feel. it has an interesting feel. note that lighting is different in these pics, so they don't show a perfect one-to-one comparison.   |
