[WIP] Little Ninja + Tileset

[tehwexxl0rz]

Thanks a lot guys!

PipeBros - I like the big, chunky style of the grass, but if it looks like noise, I clearly need to work on cleaning it up... Thanks for the feedback.
lithander - No formal contract yet because he's a friend from school, but he says he'll write one up after we submit to IndieCade if I decide to stay with the project.

I'll post the finished run animation in a couple hours if all goes well....

It could work better if those chunks were largers. Or possibly selectively have large chunks here and there on an otherwise thin grass where you'd have colors closer to each other.

Finished half the run cycle.... looks kinda trippy.

Maybe my eye's becoming a bit too keen but I find that the fore-arm seems to swing back but never swing front, instead just swinging back repeatedly as if the cycle were unfinished. Probably is. (Unfinished.) I suppose you're trying to set up an illusion? Because the legs seem pretty smoothly animated... as opposed to that forearm.

Not trying to set up an illusion, it's just not done.

Derp. My mistake then. I must really be that tired to have looked over that...

Urpdate:



Could use some cleaning up, but wanted to upload for feedback...

Working on a wall-jump sprite. Ugh, this is tricky...



Must be finished by tonight, so fast feedback would be much appreciated.

Update:



Still a bit rough. Having difficulty with the higher hand overlapping the ponytail...

Where did you based your run animation?
At the legs full stride the arms is already shifting halfway.. Is this natural or just used when there are like 10+ frames?
<the one with the green box is the original sprite>



Also the colors for the hand gloves is already dark so, wouldn't it best not to place those arms/hands on the same position?

[tehwexxl0rz]

I timed the arms with the back foot shoving off the ground. It seemed natural to me...

I don't really understand the crit on the arms. If they didn't swing the same way, wouldn't it look like the character had a limp or something? What do the black gloves have to do with it?
