Anyway, attempted change of topic: Who likes climbing trees?
I love climbing birch trees.
Haha, how the hell do you do that? Aren't they pretty much vertical poles?
Well, people can climb vertical poles, at least I can. Unless they're really big. Things like those poles with basketball hoops on top, or smaller street light poles. Pretty much anything I can grab on to with my hands. It's basically the same as those chainclimbers like on Mulan where they hold on to the chains and push with their feet to climb. You don't need a rope or anything if it's a small pole.

Seems like everyone is doing a GBA SP nowadays. I think this could benefit from a different palette, especially one with a bit more contrast, maybe some lighter blue. Some of the lighting isn't quite right either, being inset, the area around the buttons should have a shadow on the other side, and I'm really not sure about that big shadow. (Also, some highlights could help too.)

Here's an edit, to show some of what I mean.

I have type for it now. It's an extended character set, probably will only ever use part of them.



There's also a project page for it at my website. it's got an in-progress storyline, so it's not final. http://kid-made.com/brian/mr-jerry.html

Jerry has spatula hands. Shade some fingers on his left hand!

Aaaii! I didn't notice that before! Well, the one you see here isn't the current version, but I really don't want to post another stage 2 unless I have a ground breaking edit.

So, here's stage 3 again. I wouldn't have shown it yet, but I can't figure out what's wrong with Jerry.



I was going to add some jellyfish to the mockup too, though I think it might get a bit overcrowded. Mainly I'm going to be working on the ground now, I think.

I'm trembling! Your L33t ball appears to have little form!

I want to say that this is the most rad game ever conceived, sir, but I am beginning to get disappointed. You can only run/swim through so many relatively plain-looking levels. The game has enough vivacity to cover a number of mind-bogglingly awesome mechanics. Can we please see Mr. Jerry flying through hula hoops on a penguin? Bouncing on trampolines? Your original image was inspiring, but these updates are feeling tired. I think I would still play it to get high, though.

Ah, yeah. Hopefully, this won't be very plain later on. It looks lively in my sketch, I just haven't added the plants, rocks, coral, fish, etc. to it yet.

Also, I think I might try having him jump on trampolines in the future. I'm not sure if riding on penguins will work though. Maybe something like a walrus or a sea turtle. (a sea turtle would be great, although that would have to be a hidden feature somewhere)

I hope this wouldn't be considered reviving an old topic..

I have another mockup now, for the third stage. It's an underwater level. Currently it's still really WIP but here it is. (Also excuse that Mr. Jerry is running, I haven't made a swimming sprite yet.)



I actually tried to make an animation for the heart / health meter. It's supposed to kinda be something that looks like it's splashing around in it. Kinda like water in a glass that's swirling around a bit.

Well I've tweaked the characters a bit. I think they look a bit better. Also I'm trying an orange background again. I was messing with the colors on that fir a while though. Fairly desaturated purple looks surprisingly nice.

March 1st!  Theme and specs are already picked out, just working on getting the banner ready in time :)  Thanks for being patient!

So does that mean that it's not going to be youtube themed?
