Barnabus Olmstead (Unofficial Black Heart character)

Happy Halloween first and foremost! Last year, i started work on my own original character for The Black Heart, and for the past while, i've been really crunching in dev time to get out a Beta for the holiday, so here it is!

Link to the character:
https://github.com/Yoshin2222/Barnabus
BETA PATCH 1 - Address feedback from PotS as well as fixes some small snags
https://github.com/Yoshin2222/Barnabus/tree/20231114---BETA-PATCH-1

His sprites absolutely need some TLC, but for the most part I'm quite happy with how he turned out
For authenticity (or rather because I'm weird like that) Barnabus was made on the WinMugen version of The Black Heart, and the plan is to finalize him there before porting him to Ikemen like official characters were. He's lacking AI as of right now, and he could use more frames to iron him out but he's functionally almost all the way there
Any feedback is more than welcome, my goal is to make him feel as authentic as possible, and while I've tried to the best of my ability, I'm by no means perfect. Anyway, lemme know what ya think, and have fun!

Okay, two things: first, if this is a release, it should go in the releases section; second, please upload somewhere in which you can easily download it, I have no idea where do I click to download this file, Mediafire is better.

Click the green Code button and then click on Download ZIP, it should give you the character's zip file since all of the files are in the github respository

I appreciate that, but considering he doesn't have an AI, not all of The Black Hearts system stuff like stage helpers and the like as well as just a ton of polish befitting an official character, I wouldn't quite call him done. It really is more of a Beta, and this thread is to garner feedback and show subsequent progress
As for GitHub, I find it comfy having separate branches for releases, much more so than Mediafire. The Code/Download ZIP thing is a tad clunky but not overbearingly so I think

Imagine if Andres Borghi sees this and makes him canon.

Awesome work!

The char still needs a lot of work as you said yourself. Here's some stuff:

- Why does the char even load the development notes file?
- Has a few documentation files but no readme/movelist
- The sprites' 0, 0 point feels a bit shifted from where it should be
- The hitboxes need a lot of work
- Throws could have a little more range
- Punch throw should disable movecamera for P2. It makes the camera teleport
- Punch throw doesn't selfstate the target
- Kick throw could do without the afterimages
- Both the special and super DP's are still statype S when the char leaves the ground
- Overall the effects look weird with only partial transparency
- Some attacks like sHK and DP lack hitsparks
- cLP is +13
You can help with Ikemen GO's development by trying out the latest development build and reporting any bugs on GitHub.
My Mugen and Ikemen content can also be found here.

Sorry for taking a bit to get back to ya! I've addressed every problem listed as far as I can tell
The character loads development things cause he is also meant to be a Black Heart Template of sorts eventually so thought it harmless to leave the notes in for anybody that opens him in Fighter Factory
The FX are more intentional though some of them do need some redraws (the Hell Hound FX spring to mind)
The hitspark thing is funny as that's actually something that occurs with official Black Heart characters, so hey, points for authenticity!
In all seriousness, he was designed in Black Heart specifically, not general Mugen. Seeing as the Ikemen versions seems to be essentially ports of said versions with GOs bells and whistles, I don't plan to make Barnabus perfect for general Mugen and thus am leaving it as is
Maybe once I get around to porting him to Ikemen I'll make a 1.0 offshoot, but for now it is what it is
Thanks a ton for the feedback tho, mega appreciated! Even if it did make me feel a bit silly lol
