Is anyone making a video game right now?
I'm making a NES inspired platform game. Here's the main character. She's pretty cute, don't you think?
>>323581787
Looks really bad
>>323581787
Stop basing your sprites off of Mystery Quest sprites.
so an undertale platformer?
>>323581970
What is Mystery Quest?
>>323581787
>furshit
And dropped
it's like a dog got crossed with Liselotte from Super Lemonade Factory.
Just messing around with Unity. Nothing too serious at the moment.
>>323581787
I tried messing around with a game engine for fun and seeing if I could make anything decent, but I have never programmed or drawn pixel art before.
Some guy recommended me to try out Construct 2 and I completed the shooter tutorial. I'm thinking about making a simple platformer but can't pixel art for shit.
>>323583519
I don't know who that is or even what that is. I wanted her to be kind of farm girl so to speak which is why she dresses fairly plainly. I guess the biggest inspiration was Malon from the Zelda games.
>>323582660
Kill yourself.
>>323583919
Pixel art isn't easy. I wanted to try and limit myself so I could make something that was less of a clusterfuck. By using only three colors it really helps me evenly distribute the pixels instead of it just being a colorful mess.
When I started I drew a normal size picture in paint and then I just resized it and fixed the pixels to make her look better. The original picture looked like this.
>>323582249
>Is making a game and doesn't know games
Please go study before making anything, we dont want another Phil Fish
>>323582660
why do you keep posting that? its shit, get over it
>>323584413
I've played many NES games but I've never played Mystery Quest. I'm sorry if that bothers you.
>>323581787
Call me back when she's a quick draw cactus girl
>>323584847
>cactus girl
Interesting idea anon. I might make an enemy like that. It seems cute.
>>323581787
She looks nice anon, don't let the other shitters make you sad.
The only thing you should fix is her head, it's looks to big
>>323584976
I originally had her nose a little smaller, but it didn't look right. I think her head being bigger is cute, but that might just be me. It's hard to prioritize space when you've only got a 13x24 area to deal with. I'll see if I can find a compromise though.
I love Delta! He's cute!
>Is anyone making a video game right now?
I'm working on a top-down game where you play as Shovel Knight; the easiest way to describe it is like a cross between NES Legend of Zelda and Bangai-O. I've got the rough mechanics down as far as combat and exploration go, but there's a fair amount of work and polish to go yet - I made the engine in a different language a couple of years ago, so I know what kind of standard to meet and exceed. When I've got the test level tightened up and some better graphics in-game, I'll post a link to the demo build here.
>>323585656
I like the idea anon as Bangai-O is a pretty fun game, but why Shovel Knight?
>>323581787
>>323585548
He's alright. Kind of a boring character, the only thing saving him is his big butt
I've made a little progress. Will add more detail to the monster later, please forgive the animation. Its the first one I've done and its done inmatinee
>>323584556
This faggot knows exactly what mystery quest is.
>>323586564
Cool anon, it looks like some kind of RPG. I'm actually a fan of low poly models so it looks pretty nice to me. Keep up the good work.
>>323586682
You can keep believing what you want. I won't stop you.
>>323586686
Thanks anon. Its a hybrid simpleturn-basedtown builder overlayed with a simple dungeon crawler
>>323586884
Interesting. Is it at all like ActRaiser or Soul Blazer? I think one of those games had a world building element.
>>323585870
>muh heresy meme
Fuck off Warhammer autist
>>323581787
So you're trying to cash in on Undertale. Go fuck yourself.
>>323587196
I'm not even going to make a game to sell, I'm just doing it for fun.
I haven't even played Undertale.
>>323585765
When I was emailing the initial game around to journalists and developers, there was a surprising amount of interest from Yacht Club Games. I pitched the idea of one of their characters being playable in their own story as a promotional deal, and one of the tech demos linked in the email was from an obsoleted engine where the player had a short-range melee attack that could counter enemy projectiles tenfold. Given the demos linked and my unknown status as a developer, I'd expected a request to use one of the boss characters like Spectre Knight or Plague or King - but they requested I put Shovel Knight into the game, so that's how it went.
>>323587050
The first ActRaiser did.
>>323586884
Sounds interesting.Post dev blog
>>323581787
Is that supposed to be Isabelle or the cow from Undermeme?
>>323583552
The world need more 80's retro wave-like games, looks neat anon
>>323587050
I don't know either of those games I'm afraid, in terms of how it will play its just build your village, use its wealth to kit out adventurers, adventures can clear out either a mine, dungeon, forest etc depending what resources will help the town. (ore, trinkets & ancient wood respectively)
Combats simple, activate class abilities/items before fight, retreat during fight if its too tough. You'll only keep what you can carry from the dungeon. Clear the dungeon and you get a everything, regardless of carry limits.
Take less health potions/throwing spears, more weight to carry loot but you might not survive, etc.
>>323587451/v/ is my devblog
>>323586682
How odd. One minute ago I was thinking of the exact picture you posted.
Here, take a lioness.
>>323582081
I've never played Undertale but I assumed this was an Undertale thread while scrolling the catalog.
>>323583552
>free-roaming, sandbox neon world
Why the hell has no one done this yet?
Keep going!
>>323586686
>>323586564
Looks cool, but the shaking bodies is really off-putting
>>323587774
>>323587774
more lionness pls
>>323581787
> a NES inspired
Holy cow, make it for NES then.
Maybe if I changed her colors she'd look less Undertaleish? I really don't want people to associate me with that. She's based off my puppy.
>>323588148
They'll be covered in armour/robes soon. I'll certainly try for some outfits that cover everything, just for you anon.
>>323588291
It's fairly hard to code in assembly. I could try, but I don't think I would ever finish.
They need a hat
>>323588360
why does she look like a character from undertale
>>323588103

doesnt really work right now
Quest system is working, making the quest log UI now. How's it look so far?
>>323588663
because it has that indieshit "8-bit" style added to it
>>323588784
I like it.
Short and simple interfaces are nice.
>>323587715
Thank you for your kind words.

I might make a steam group or something, but I dont want to generate hype for something that may not go gold in years.

A bit primitive.
Align the red X and the scroll bar.
Add some space to between the text and its panel, don't let it stick to the border like that.

FUCK YOU UP THE PISSHOLE WITH A HOT IRON YOU XENO LOVING SCUM
>>323588784
No delete/abandon quest button?
>>323588360
do your best
>>323581787
No, I gave up on making games a long time ago. I'm not going to spend hundreds of hours of my life to make a free game just so some douche can say "he, cool screenshot bro," and no one bothers to actually play the game. Most people on RPG Maker sites only look at screenshots and don't bother to play the game.
Making a game can cost as much time as a part time job, I don't want to do that unless I'm being paid for it.
>>323588360
Looks cute desu senpai, wish the color scheme wasn't barf educing though, do you have an animation of the run cycle.
>>323588154

I'm going to make players go talk to the quest giver to abandon quests and give them some disappointed dialogue because I'm a dick like that. But really if that ends up being terrible I'll add a button in.

Started today. Downloading some SDKs right now.
Been wanting to try to make an earthbound-style game for awhile.
I'm teaching myself gamemaker. I finished the protagonist's sprite animations and movement. Gonna work on NPCs and text-box system next.
ya dude
>>323590352
It's just, uh,
well my dad says it's not okay to look at other men like that is all. It kinda makes me excited, but I'm not supposed to, right?

Is your game just a simple platformer? What are the mechanics in it?
>>323592227
you got anything besides her sprite?
>>323591402
>>323585548
behold
>>323592686
Is this guy from a game about wheelchair jousting?
>>323592464
Good question anon. My biggest gripe with platformers is that too many of them don't try and have any interesting mechanics. If you can't fuck around with the game nobody is going to want to play it.
That being said, I've been really struggling to come up with a fun mechanic. If I can't reach that milestone then I might as well give up. I really like the game Gimmick for the NES because it challenges the player to really perfect the abilities it gives you in order to proceed in the game, but once you do perfect them you can basically explore everything.
Another game I've always loved is Super Mario Bros. 2 due to its non-linear layout. You enter buildings, pick up keys to open doors. It's not exactly an exploration platformer like Metroid or something, but it makes the levels more fun imo.
What makes a character design good?I've been thinking of making a small and simple 2D game sometime, not too sure where to start though.
>>323592581
Nope, I just started today. I doubt I'll even finish it. Still trying to work with Construct.
>>323592894
Something iconic, easily recognizable by those who have seen it even once before.
>>323585548
I was personally more a fan of Cactus Girl
>>323592851
I kinda get you anon. I want to try to make a cool mechanic too but I just feel as if I should understand the basics first and learn how to code and draw. It kinda gets annoying but I hope that it'll payoff in the end.
I kinda wonder what makes a mechanic interesting to players though. I've played tons of games and yet I can't figure out myself.
>>323589402
It could be worse. You could spend more than two years making a game, abandoning your decent-payed job, to only sell 500 copies and get like 2000$ like I did.
>>323584283
>>323584460

Also yeah I'm making things. Took a small break today tofuck a girl
>>323593478
I can spend 5 minutes in ms paint too, bud
>>323593362
Well look at the original Super Mario Bros. By adding momentum and rudimentary physics to the jumping controls they completely changed how video games feel to play. The idea was that people will want to play just because it's fun to control Mario, to run around and jump on things.
But just having physics isn't enough anymore, so you gotta have some kind of unique gimmick to go along with it. The problem is it's hard to create something that hasn't been done before in a platformer. How many ways can you make a 2d platformer anyway before the concept just grows stale.
I think my game will be less about platforming and more about how to actually navigate obstacles without ever jumping. So there will be a lot of puzzle solving involved over straight up action.
>>323592851
I have a mechanic that's pretty simple and fun, but my problem right now is bugs that pop up. I really need to iron them out but I'm too damn stupid to get rid of them.
>>323583552
Dick is diamonds. Finish it now!
>>323593252
Cactus is not for lewd
>>323581787
Can you not give her a dress? Now everyone's gonna compare it to Undertale
>>323581787
This looks so nice, OP. I really think the colors look great together!
>>323593706
Thanks based anon. I will definitely take these into consideration.
>>323593084
>Something iconic
This really doesn't narrow anything down
>How do I make a good thing?
>Just make it good, you know?
>>323593987
>Can you not give her a dress
I can't imagine her wearing anything other than a dress desu senpai.
>>323593791
You should make that blob say "WAM! BAM! STRAIGHT TO THE HAM!" in reference to "BAM! BOOM! STRAIGHT TO THE MOON!"
>tfw you are working on game for a year now but too scared to show to /v/ because of all the lewd fanart that would follow
>>323594175
That wouldn't entirely work in the context of his WAM BAMing. But I'll keep it it in mind.
>>323588360
The colors aren't the issue.
It's an animal head on a human body with a dress that's causing people to say it's Undertale.
Now Undertale sure as hell didn't invent this shit, but it's the current hip meme game on the market and people will think you're trying to capitalize on its success.
It's a shame because what you have as a sprite is actually pretty good. It's pretty easy to distinguish all of the features on it. Any adjustments would seem like a waste.
>>323593791
normies get out
no I won't go to r9k
>>323594260
>Being afraid of free advertising
>>323594165
Alright then how about adding a bow on her waist or something, it's just that plain dress makes her look exactly like Toriel.
>>323593917
I will.
Watch it become a meme and the fan base rips it self apart
>>323593791
Looks like Lisa
>>323594097
Trial and error
Maybe try to use a color combo not commonly used in media aimed towards the demographic for a main character, that's what Pokemon did with Pikachu, at the time yellow was uncommon with Winnie The Pooh being the only other well-known children's mascot that was primarily yellow
>>323590535
It actually looks good, besides the fact that it's a porn game.
>>323594474
Hmm
I'll see what I can do.
>>323594419
Yeah I'm ashamed of never getting to be a wizard but the pussy game, man, it's ridicilous
>>323594260
I wish that's what I was scared of. I just dont have any good shots readily available to show off

Was working on a few simple RPG Maker games.
>Story based game where a Dude could control sound as a weapon, and kicked wizard asses
>Side-scroller where an Angry King beats the fuck out of his subjects on a whim
>Comedy story where a dude becomes a Werewolf, and has to eat 1000 living creatures to return to being human. Also gains abilities and powers from eating enough of one thing (like regeneration abilities from slimes)
Had some good stuff going, but I lost it all. Crashed hard drive and all that. Now, I know RPG maker is the lazy man's tool, and I wanted to make a platformer. A while back, Sorcerland was a big thing on /v/ for a short while, and that's the kind of game I want to make. I just don't know coding, and every time I try to learn it, I just can't comprehend it.
What's a good way for me to start up like that? Pixel art and story I can handle, just coding and tools.
>>323594756
I AM single.
>>323594580
Yeah people keep telling me that. It's not going to be anything like Lisa besides being side-scrolling but oh well, there's worse games to be compared to.
>>323594405
I do appreciate your kind words anon. I did originally try to have the bow on the stomach like >>323594474 suggested, but using 3 colors makes it kind of tricky since there's too many colors that run into each other.
On the original sprite for Mario in Super Mario Bros. the design choice of giving him overalls was made clearly to separate the arms to make his animations easier to visualize. I don't want her to become a jumbled mess, which is why I went with such a simple design.
>>323594858
Sounds like it might work, try it and see people's reaction to it here. If anyone mentions Undertale you might want to think up something else.
>>323594858
An apron might work better. It has the division of the top and bottom plus it doesn't interfere with the arms. I suppose I could give that a shot.
>>323594032
Look up some color theory stuff for getting good pallet colors. Analogous, triadic, tetradic, etc. Similar colors work best on a single character, where as complimentary or contrasting colors work best in backgrounds (i.e. a golden sunset sky over a sapphire blue ocean)
>>323581787
Looks like furry bait desu
>>323594874
>A while back, Sorcerland was a big thing on /v/ for a short while, and that's the kind of game I want to make.
A game about crossdressing animals?
Been workin' on a jerpeegee about a disgruntled wageslave dad in modern America with the intent of going into Falling Down kind of territories.
I wanted to add a supernatural twist/element to it though but I can't really decide on what.
>>323585548
>genuinely want to see the game happen with ideas from last thread
>don't know shit about making a game
Hold me, /v/
>>323595127
I say keep it as is, just use some of the alternate color schemes suggested.
The green one here looks lovely for example >>323593706
Just draw what you enjoy. If you spend too much time revising something so it doesn't look like everything else you'll just end up with watered down crap.
>>323595127
EVERYTHING about Mario's design was to make shit easy to draw.
The overalls so you could see the arms better, the moustache so you could see his nose better, the hat to avoid having to animate hair, etc.
>>323594260
Show me
>tfw just want to make a 2d platformer/hack and slash with rewarding combat but just started
Are there any tutorials or guides on Construct 2 for people with no prior experience? Besides the shooter and platformer tutorial.
>>323594702
Any full drawings?
I had this little idea of making a simple RPG-Maker type game where you play a slutty Elf who wants to get ravaged, inspired by that Japanese webcomic.But then I realized I can't into art so I dropped it.
>>323595362
>with the intent of going into Falling Down kind of territories.
Falling Down would already work as a videogame. Dude powers up every time he loses his shit. Why hasn't anyone done this?
>>323593374
Can I get a link to your game?
>>323593252
Same desu
>>323593706
Can't a sprite use 4 colors on the NES?
>>323595282
Good idea anon. I'll keep that on my ideas list.
>>323595729
Transparency + three colours
>>323595510
Construct 2 is pretty easy to get stuff working. Just play around with it.
>>323595729
No, one of the colors is transparency.
And I mean, I could always do what they did with Mega Man and just have one sprite tile use a different palette, but I'm just starting here and I don't want to over-complicate things.
>>323595804
Ah. I see.
>>323595343
While that would be a challenge to do, no. Meant more like a simple MMX clone.
>>323595729
You have a maximum of 3 colors + 1 color for transparency
Some games got around this by overlaying another sprite on top of another. Mega Man is the best example of this. His face is a different sprite.
>>323581787
>using the standing sprite as a frame in your run cycle
>>323593836
put up or shut up
>>323595973
He can just cut that out, you know
>>323595973
Good catch anon, the standing sprite is not in the run cycle, but I felt I would be remiss to not include it because it's all I have so far.
>>323581787
I am but I don't really know what I am going to do about the art. I can't draw and I have a vague idea of what I want the main character to be but I don't know anything about designing characters. Everything will have to be rectangles for a long time until I bother learning I suppose. Really doesn't help that all this vidya came/is coming out and I want to play everything.
I can't bear doing tutorials so.....
I can't get any work done on my game =(
>>323584370
m8, if you don't want it to resemble undertale you're gonna have to change the entire design. People keep saying to change the dress, but it's mostly the face that's the problem. Toriel was a female white goat/dog hybrid with a simple dress. Yours looks very similar excluding the horns. I know undertale's wasn't the most original but if you want to be disparate you have to redo almost all of it.
>>323595896
>>323595927
Isn't there also a thing where each screen can only have like a certain type of colors on it and shit like that?
So you cant for example have every palette color on screen at the same time.
>>323581787
You should add a 1 pixel bob to the animation, run animations always look shitty when the upper body just stays completely put
>>323596336
Good idea anon, I originally wanted her to skip so I could try and implement something like that.
I have art, but have yet to even begin to learn how to code. What's a good place to start?
I'm making a 2D platform engine in C++ and using it to make a game. It's to the point where I can almost start making games with it. Needs a map format. I didn't want to pay for a license to an existing engine or deal with their ugly brands all over my work.
>>323589269
I'm sorry, but even ironically it's still retarded.
>>323596536
codeacademy?
>>323596536
Buy a few books. Visit one of the programming threads on /g/. I assume they have some info.
>>323596536
Don't waste time learning "how to program." Just pick an engine and muck about with it. Read how to do the things you want to do, one step at a time, and learn it organically. You'll come to understand it either way.
>>323596704
You are now aware the site is called codecademy.
>>323597014
Oh
that makes more sense
>>323596126
What's your game about/what do you have in mind for your main character?
>>323596126
Keep doing rectangles, pitch it to an artist and have a clear list of assets you need completed.
Never bring an artist on board early in development unless you know for a fact that they can produce work and willing to stick around. Otherwise, they'll just flake like the stupid fuckers they are.
>>323588768
What engine are you using?
I kinda want to do a game, probably just some RPG Maker thing, I have the plot and I guess I can do the graphics myself, but I just can't do much about it because I feel like I lack motivation most of the time.
How do you people motivate yourselves to work on your games?
I love these threads but I wish more /v/ devs actually finished their games. I swear all of them just disappearor move to Reddit and get huge inflated egos
>>323597730
That's what happens when too many people praise your work without actually giving good criticism. /v/ can be a little abrasive at times but it at least keeps you modest about your work.
How about cars? I don't think there's ever been a game about cars before.
>>323597730
>huge inflated egos
That's not the only thing that's huge and inflated
>>323597982
Good idea anon, maybe you could race them?
>>323597730
I'm never moving to reddit. That place is a nightmare to navigate.
But on the other hand, you can't really stay on /v/ either. If your game manages to actually take off, you'll get shit posted by people saying your game sucks and you suck.
If your game doesn't take off, you'll get called a shill and that your game still sucks and you suck.
The middle ground just leaves your game completely unforgotten.
Obviously, no one should be in it for the fame, but I'm sure a developer would love to talk about their game with other people without getting called a faggot every other reply.

It helps to actually enjoy what you're doing. My end goal is to make a game out of my engine, but i have lots of things that make the "journey" fun.
Right now its learning what goes into making an engine of my own. Implementing an entity-component system was really interesting. Now I'm getting closer to the stage of a game starting to take it's first steps. I'm going to keep older builds to see how things change later.
Gotta find your own way, though.
>>323597730
It's because of the fact that this site will give you the most criticism out of any of the sites, good devs still listen or they can be shit like Notch and stop actually developing the game so they can listen only to people sucking his cock
>>323597730
I'm never going to reddit and if I ever get popular and /v/ hates my game then I probably did somethingright
>>323598168

>>323597730
To be fair, you have to look at it this way as well:
Most of these dudes are amateur gamedevs or hobbyist gamedevs.
Part of both of those titles are that its still all part of the learning process.
Not just learning code or art, but experimenting, trying new things and optimizing code, all knowledge that will eventually be better applied in future projects.
For a lot of people here I don't really think the goal was ever to finish a game, even if they tell themselves that it is.
Looks cute.
>>323598927
I kind of have to agree. My goal is still to make a game, but I've picked up more good optimization and memory management habits with this endeavor than before. It can definitely be carried forward.
I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere right now so have a pic from my phone
>>323599376
I've seen this piece of shit so many times now that I HAVE to put it in my game somewhere as a reference

Looks like you based it off Mario's SMB1 sprite, especially the standing pose.
>>323597178
Ok this is a bit silly, but the vague idea I have for the story is that the MC is going to investigate this region of the world that one day was covered in some kind of fog and anyone who goes in there never returns. He's supposed to be a kind of battlemage, good with some sword combat and uses some magic for utility (imagine Ys in this regard). He'd have Ice [only way to block and does some other things], Lightning [Mostly for moving quickly], Fire magic [Strong damaging attacks].
When he enters the region he encounters a really strong otherworldly looking monster but he barely manages to defeat it (so the first fight would be a boss, basically). The monster explodes into a pile of mist and covers the MC. He ends up passing out and gets rescued by someone. When he wakes uphe's turned into a small person cat-like creature, something along the lines of a Doram from RO. Now he can't really use his sword as it is too heavy or something and the catalyst he used for his spells doesn't exactly fit him anymore (it was a glove with some runes on it) so he has to make a new one. Later on he gets a new sword or something but he uses his claws as the main weapon in the meantime.His main color would be blue.
Gameplay is action with some exploring and you can switch between weapons/magic on the fly.
>>323599590
You'll probably finish your game before I even begin to make something that resembles line of code so go for it
>>323590389
Because it's a lady
>>323589269
This meme has been stale since 2010
>>323599819
Definitely a huge starting point. I was trying to find ways of keeping her arms in interesting positions though. She definitely runs like a girl so to speak.
It's hard to know exactly what to do with the feet though. I made them a lot smaller to accommodate her smaller stature.
>>323600020
>>323599376
I never seen this character before.
But I want to draw lewds of it
I'm trying to make an xcom clone of sorts, in a different setting but same idea, tactical turn based squad gameplay interplayed with a strategy layer of managing different bases and missions while upgrading your equipment, should I build it top down with simple pixel graphics or 3D models? 3D models seem a lot more difficult or at least time consuming
>>323600298
If you're willing to learn how to use 3d modeling software then go ahead with that. Otherwise I'd stick with sprites anon.
>>323595401
One can only dream.
>>323596229
I've never worked with NES but if I remember correctly you can only have so many colors on a single line. You can have a lot of colors on screen if you work around the limitations and place the properly.
>>323600221
No
Poorly drawn tree is not for that
took far too long
>can draw
>can't code for shit
>only people who want to hire me are porn game trainers
kill me please
>>323599109
Yeah.
I intend to go back to at least one of the projects I've abandoned in the past, because I really liked the concept, but I've still got a lot of things I want to learn to use and use better, that I can't really apply to said abandoned project right now.
People shouldn't give others so much crap because they don't finish a gamedev project, if that person is at least putting their effort into other projects as well for the sake of expanding their abilities.
I mean if the guy just stops working period and gives up then yeah by all means shit down that niggas throat.
>>323601182
Now I HAVE to do it

Here's the roster. Locked characters are blacked out, cause secrets.
Last time I posted this, Anons loved Lil-Wang. Let's see what you guys like.
>>323601390
>not learning and improving
You deserve every bad thing that happens to you.
So are "Post characters you've made/garflondo" threads the new spammed thread of 2016?
I'm not complaining. This shit was all over /co/ but no one ever posts that often
Made this Wheelchair Bird for you /v/, hope you enjoy it
>>323602076
Wheelchair Bird is character of the year 2016
Can he be in my indie game?
>>323602067
>implying
and I could go for cartooning/animation as well. I just hate drawing humans, even though I draw them every single day.
>>323602058
I like Lucas
>>323601642
Make P1 have blue eyes
Make P2 have red eyes
Make P3 have purple eyes
Make P4 have green eyes
It'd be perfect
>>323602321
Thanks, he's the original character. It started with him, grew to over 16 characters (there's some not pictured)
His hairstyle and shirt was inspired by Mother 3's Lucas. His name comes from the name I'm going to name my son.
>>323602058
Maple Leaf is cool. Not a huge fan of the shading on the Russian dude's coat, seems a little pillowy to me. Other than that I like. Not SNK tier but pretty cool.
I really want to make a surreal hack and slash game inspired by Killer is Dead but have no big budget studio.
>NES inspired platform game
Such originality, I don't think i've ever heard of this idea before.
>>323602282
Holy shit I'm the same
I'm not a furry at all but I hate human characters in anything that isn't a real life world, unless they have something special about them, or just like inhuman
>>323602058
Maple-Leaf reminds me ofSteven Universe
>>323602515
Thanks! I'm not a fan of Barish's idle sprite. Might redo it, I don't know.
Any advice on the shading?
Half goat half bug man opening door.
>Want to design a game with an animal mascot/player
>The thought of disgusting people sexualizing my character makes me feel sick
>Don't want a generic human protagonist since it's too simple
I want the era of cute mascots back, and I want the era of furfags to be gone. Can we start this already?
>>323602076
I made this for a "draw a horror game enemy" thread some time ago but never got to post it.
It's a demon dog with a laser.
>>323602839
Are laser dog and wheelchair bird best friends?
>>323602939
I'd be okay with that.
>>323602834
People will sexualize your character no matter what, anything you do to try and turn off some people will turn on others, the key is ignore the people sexualizing it
>>323602670
Wait, how? Oh god please no
As much as tumblr would give me free promotion, I don't want to be associated with Steven Universe
Also, have an old idle sprite for Lucas. The colors are outdated, but his animation is the same.
>>323603085
this is true. this is coming from a filthy degenerate who sexualizes anthropomorphic ink
>>323603168
His knees are backwards.
>>323602834
>I want the era of cute mascots back, and I want the era of furfags to be gone.
The era of furfags has always been there, you just didn't know about it because the internet was less mainstream.
Avoiding a design because you're afraid of what a niche fetish side of the community will do with it is ridiculous.
>>323602076
The real question is can we make lewds of Wheelchair BirdOf course we can
>>323602834
People sexualize anything.
Lil-Wang and Maple-Leaf is the OTP for my game >>323602058, and in canon they both have love interests. Funnily enough, their IRL inspirations have one of those "pretend to be gay" bromances. But it's one way. Maple-Leaf pretends to be gay for Lil-Wang.
It's... kind of awkward...
>>323601390
>can do both
take that nerd!
>>323603168
This >>323603293
Might wanna redo the legs
>>323603085
People sexualized both the cactus and the cripple from last threadnot that I'm complaining, I was looking foward to bothand there wasn't much backlash.
Just ignore it if it bothers you. Or be a cool dude and approve it.
>>323603168
The face, the hair. Red shirt, blue jeans. Cartoony, poorly proportioned blobbishness. I could see that being a design for an episode where he gets buff.It's not supposed to be an insult or anything, just something I noticed.
>>323603293
>>323603381
Whose, Maple-Leaf or Lucas?
>>323603364
Same. People should just learn to do everything themselves instead of whining like babies for the millionth time.
