 ;D Hey nice work so far!

This is the kind of stuff I like.  :sugoi: I've just started making stuff for mugen to so I know the pain you are going thru. :sugoi: Keep it up, you'll get there in the end. I agree with everything else said thus far in the thread also. Great idea to make him a giant char. 8)

Also I need comments on how to make this yo-yo look more believable as if it is rolling on the ground.

hmmmm, well the spinning motion works. It could be improved (maybe give it a vertical spin shadow?) Also, how are you hoping the animation to be used? Is it a move? Does he drop it? ect. ect. I think if you added the string for directional refference that might help also.

:) yep, good luck.

Thanks for the support, right now I'm trying to draw out the sprites for the terror dogs and it's going slow. I need to think about the yoyo thing, from what I tested today in Mugen, he might not be able to do it. He was suppose to walk the dog or throw it like he did in the cartoon, some sort of projectile attack without having to call out a helper, but when I first uploaded the sprites and ran him in Mugen, he barely fitted in the screen (I had to resize him down a bit :/). But oh well, we'll see how it goes from here.
So far he's in mugen, doesn't do anything so far. Trying to figure out how to make a character like him work (it's the first time I'm doing a project like this), and overall an idea of the stage. May need help getting sounds though...
Tomorrow I'll upload what I have of the subway ghost, test animation of the terror dogs, gozer,and a screenshot. I would have done it today, but I alas, I have work needing to be done... See you guys tomorrow. :sugoi:

Hold on...That fireball looks...unavoidable. Maybe it could be a small fireball decending downward and tilted with the AngleDraw controller, just a suggestion.

Thanks, yeah I'm changing it to a small fireball. Actually it will just be a floating skull, like that in the game.

Hope everyone's Friday the 13th has been very good so far. ;D Here's an update. So far I have ran him in Mugen, and gotten to the point of coding one attack. I'm still tweaking his size, as evident in the snapshots, and tweaking his attack. I also have to figure out how he'll get damage, as so far no one seems to be able to hurt him. Lots of checking and coding to do.


As you can see he looks very well, though in one of them he's a bit more pixelated. I'm not sure how that happened, both are from different Mugen games/stages. Does that have anything to do with it?

Here's some test animation of the subway ghost that'll launch out some ghostly projectiles before charging off the screen. It'll be quick and suprising, as he'll be coming from the ground rather than the sides as helpers normally come from. He's missing some frames, but I like what I see so far, so I'll be adding color to him and details. Also, his arms and tentacles haven't been added yet, because they're seperate from him for various reasons...


And finally, Zuul and Vince-Clortho. Zuul's looks fine, as she'll just charge downward in an angle and then charge upwards, meant to be as an anti-air attack. Her animation looks very well, and I'll start drawing over the stick figures. As for Vincey boy, he needs work. He's going to be charging horizontally on the ground, and I need to see some videos of cheetah's or dogs running (hence, that's why his back legs are not moving is because I need to know how they move), but his front legs look okay, unless I missed something. Overall, they still need some tweaking, so that's what I'll be doing for the next couple of days. Who knew animating terror dogs would result in one studying the animal anatomy and how it works?:/


I'll keep you guys updated if I make any more improvements, until then, have a very good weekened. :sugoi:

 :sugoi: ahhaha, nice. He's looking good. Just going by that screen shot i'll say to me he looks like he's standing to straight. An idea, maybe have him hunched over a bit more so he just fits into the screen. And I think you could make him even a little bigger, maybe show less of his mid section. He is supposed to be masive, after all.  8)

Good to see progress.  Keep it up! :sugoi:

It helps to just cycle one of the legs in the run then copy it and offset the timing by one or two frames for the other leg. In most cases for animals with legs (even quadrapeds) one foot/paw always hits the ground just before the other one on the other side. I'm sure that if you do a search for animated gifs of animals running, you should get a good reference.
Also, pay attention to the relationship between the front and back legs for each side as it is crucial to the balance of the run. But you will find it most helpful after you find the gif for reference.

Anyway, good luck with your project.

Cheers,
Rev.  ;P

Hi Everybody! Sorry for a week later update. Last week was busy. This week things returned to normal after fixing a few house items that needed to be fixing :P.

Thanks Revanto for that information, it seems to be helping me much nicely. I've decided to switch Zuul to the one running across the screen. That way if you win, and it's still out in the middle of the screen, it will stop and yell "Zuuul". I think that might be cool.

This actually looks better. I'm not too far off from spriting his arms as was before. Funny thing though, it takes roughly about forty minutes to an hour just to sprite two arms :-X. But I should have him back to where he was before. Overall he looks more massive. Thanks again.



As you can see, I still need to make the floor helper where it cuts him off at the bottom and to adjust his head and body position that way it doesn't look funny on screen. Overall though he's coming nicely. I'll be making his arms, of course, and I'll also see about redoing the Ghostbusters Firehouse stage that's on the first post. Until then, see you guys later in the week, as I'm sure I'll have something done by then... ;)

i'm just noticing right now that the "Stay Puft" words in his hat are backwards when he faces the other way, i'm pretty sure that's fixable

There probably is a way, but none that I know of. It would be neat, but if any body can help out with that (or figure a way to have the words read the right way), than I will really will appreciate it and credit will be given. :sugoi:

Dont forget you need to make a player two side for the text. If you look at his cap youll noticed that the words are in reverse.

YOU NEED TO

 - Have the text drawn both ways. It won't show right just because of Magic
 - When coding this in Mugen, you need to make the text A HELPER that changes depending on where he's facing.

Don't worry about it for now DDE, i'll fix it for you when you have all the sprites.  :sugoi: Easy fix.
