Title: Castle Crashers (Blue Knight) Sprite Project
Post by: RandomLake on November 23, 2014, 07:36:52 am

Hello guys, my name is Lake.
and since i have free time i told myself, Hey! you should start making your first character on mugen.
the problem is that i don't know how to code and so i thought well at least i can make the sprites for it
since i love spriting and i would worry about the coding later
and as you can already tell from the title the my first char is gonna be the "Blue Knight" from "Castle Crashers", an amazing game made by Tomp Fulp and Dan paladin on the XBLA.

and before you see the sprite i want all of you to know that even thought i said i love spriting i'm not really good at it.

okay this was the first one that i made

but when i compared that sprite with a Lou sprite i realized how small it was compared to Lou so i made a better one
who also has better shading and a apropiate size in my opinion

and yes the sword still needs shading

Also sorry if i spelled something wrong my English is not that good.

Thanks for reading~

I like the sprite. I hope to see more. Personally I never owned the game, but I had a lot of fun playing with friends. I will be watching this.

I think you should drop the sword asap. This way you can make additional swords and combine the images later.
I think the variety of the swords in the game, and the little animal power ups could be a very cool thing.

Making the jump from Blue to Green to Red would be easy in code too. You'd just need the additional effects.

I'd LOVE to see the Deer as an Ultra!
Me and all of my friends will be watching this project

I found this. Maybe it'll give you some ideas.

Well since the beginning i wanted to make a full project with all the characters in it.
and i actually wanted to make everyone have it's own weapon, for example:
The Barbarian with his axe, the gray knight with the weapon that my blue knight has, the ninja with his sai, etc.
i also wanted to add the animal orbs as helpers or something like that.

But, i decided that i will focus just on the Blue Knight Sprites for now.

PS: And as for the deer i was planning him to be in one of the intro's or in one of the stages.

Also, thanks for your comment

EDIT:
Working on his walking animation right now

this looks nice, but wouldnt it be easier to rip the existing anims?

Yeah, probably but then i't wouldn't be fun  :)
i prefer to sprite all of the anim. one by one even if takes more time, it's more fun that way.

Please make a pushblock animation. Small characters are easy to keep in the corner
Looks very promising

EDIT: Finished the StandBlocking sprite now working on his Crouch Guard

PushBlock is pretty much just that. It's a Blocking move, that pushes the opponent away. It's one of the major things an all around solid character needs.
Dont get me wrong, if the character doesnt have it, it may not be bad. But it'd have to have other advanced techniques to compensate. Maybe a parry, or a dodge, or a roll. Something to help get out of the corner fast.
