No one said it's too late XD I'm not sure what I'm going to do about selectable characters yet, there may just be one character, or I may just have it RPG-esque where you "make up" a character (e.g. name, and using the standard character sprite sheet you could design what they look like to a certain extenet),
or you may have a selection of signifcant characters. We'll see.
But I'm hoping we
will be able to get special sprites for the significant members (though that sounds kinda mean, giving some special status and others are just nobodies :P), to make them stand out, and you'll probably encounter a boss with each one. I might even be really nasty and make some that the boss can actually harm if you're not careful enough XD
Anyway, progress report... Sorry, there's hasn't been a heck of a lot of progress. Spare time is hard to come by at the moment. Just so you know, my next step at the moment is getting a tileset sorted from the Zero game so that I can actually make the level look nice... ish. But tilesets take time XD Especially since, although this is only a demo, I'd prefer for it to not look
completely crap. But hey, this is giving everyone plenty of time to decide if they want to do something, and what they want to do (though I haven't seen many new people
)!
And on that note, Bullet Magnet, it's good to see someone else say they want to sprite, so can I see an example of your sprite and writing work?
