I have finally begun the odyssey of updating the old sprites. This will be a stickied topic where I will constantly update the first post to show the progress of the sprite updates.

***December 12th 2009***

The first chracter I've decided to update is Vesper. As you can see, she has undergone a slight outfit change as well as updated colors and details. She now has ditched the more familiar Cammy riding boots in favor of thigh-high leather boots. Fits the character more if you ask me.


She's about 10% updated as of now. This is actually moving along pretty quickly, so the characters who aren't getting outfit updates and are just getting the new detail and color should move even faster.

Comparison, old version on left:


Check this topic to see more updates as I chug along.

**December 15th***

Vesper is officially done. That went a lot faster than I thought it would. On to the next character, probably Bloodtide or Sabotage. Woohoo!

Here's a video of her:

**December 26th**

I just finished up Moses Maddigan after the family went home on Christmas. My roommates all had to work so I didn't have much else to do, so I went ahead and put the finishing touches on Moses Maddigan's updated sprites. Not only does he have added detail and the extra color depth of Byrne, Ruckus, etc., but I also made a small cosmetic change to him, by having his tie tucked into his vest. Here are a few gifs:


Stance

Standing MP

Walk

Event hough these are only three of the animations, ALL of his sprites are now updated. Here's a quick sprite comparison from old to new, including the change in default palette:



I will post a Youtube video soon showing him off, and then move on to my next character, probably Thirteen since he's so popular.

***January 2nd***

Officially began updating Thirteen. I'm through most of his standard animations (stance, walk, crouch, jump, etc.) and all of his required sprites are updated. Here's his stance:



Up close comparison:


Been running into weird palette issues, but with some tweaking I think I solved them, for now.

***January 16th***

Finished Thirteen, released in the main section (http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=111130.0). Adamas is next for updates, then Snow or Sabotage. Progress may be slow due to school starting up again, but I'll try my best.

***June 2nd 2010***

Been awhile since I updated this. Finished Adamas and released him, now I'm working on The Specialist. Here's a side by side comparison of his old sprites and new:


Old on left, New on Right




He should be a quick update to do, since he doesn't have as high of a frama count as some of the others or my newer characters. The goal is to make sprites blend in first and foremost, but I may add a few frames of animation here and there to smooth things out. Sabotage or Snow should be after him. School's out so I should have more free time to do this.

***Big Update June 28th***

So not only is The Specialist done, I went ahead and updated Zenith too. All the way. So now that he's out of the way, that leaves only the following characters to update (I've included details on their updates):

-Snow - Should be an easy one lik ethe previous two. I think I've been purposely putting this off because I felt like if I updated the character based on me first it would be vain.
-Sabotage - He's not only getting the shading update, but his shirt is being changed to a looser fitting buttun-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and the front and tail of the shirt hanging out.
-Wyldestar - Dreading this one. High frame count + small size/less room for details = Headache and the possibility her sprites will look cluttered and messy.
-Kane - High frame count, but otherwise an easy update. He's never been released before so I could still make changes to his design.
-Bloodtide - In need of all new sprites. She's too small and her sprites are ugly compared to everyone else, and simple editing won't be enough. Sigh.

And that will be it. Then I can focus on the last new character and the screen pack. Wee!

Here's a sprite of Zenith updated as well as what Sabotage will now look like:





Further Updates will appear in posts further down the thread. This post is huge so I won't keep adding to it.

she's too clinched up in the neck possibly due to the left deltoid being so high up. I would say heighten the neck by a pixel or so. It would look alot better.

When I say I like something, it means keep it up, but when I say I like it and it's getting even better then I imagined, this is my reaction. The sprites and the improvements are minor but they add to S.H.A.D.E.s themselves. And offtopic, am I the only one who thinks Snow's SHADES 1 stance is extremely identical to Robert's Stance in KOF2k3?

But are there truly grown men in this world?!

Well, it's not "extremely identical" because Snow's arm placement is different, but yes, Robert's 2K3 form is the base for most of his animations. I'm good with proportioning (most of the time), the actual spriting, and I have the drive and time to work on whole character's worth of sprites that many don't, but I am no good at making my own animations. They always look bad, so I use other characters' animations as bases. I still sprite the whole character (save for some hands and feet), which is hard work, but yes, the animations can be easily recognized most of the time. I try to mix things up and change things as much as I can so that they're unique enough, but that's not always the case. Thanks for the support!

Yeah, he was supposed to. Maybe because Evil Ryu got killed it caused a little problem ? Maybe SeanAltly could make it so that the move only kills on the last smash, for more dramatic effect.

I think at the very end of this you should give the old 2008 Fray the same treatment. Plus, it had some odd issues, like the taunt being invincible and giving power to Fray.

Well, the taunt was supposed to give power (everyone's was supposed to), but it wasn't supposed to be invincible. Oops.

I thought Ruckus was the funnest (is that a word?) character I'd created yet. He's so lively, fast, and full of personality and awesome wrestling references. Different Strokes I guess.

I really, really don't like those sprites, I'm sorry. That's why I made completely new ones (along with the storyline change). The person she's based on (a friend of mine) hated them as well.

On an unrelated note, Moses Maddigan has been released! Check here: http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=110449.0

and it's alright, it's not a big deal if you don't redo them, I just didn't want her to be left out (though she did get a complete overhaul, so...yeah)

I wish I could get some help updating these things. It's a very daunting task, and it seems like someone out there could do something like adding anti-aliasing and cleaning up the sprites. I remember c00per helping me a bit on getting Byrne to look nice.

Also, yes, he is a bit short. I always list him at being 6'4'', but compared to other characters from other games he looks quite short. Compared to other SHADEs characters, not as much, though he still looks shorter than 6'4''. Thanks for the compliments!

Yeah, I went with green because of it's association with Money. That way, bright blue is reserved for Sabotage and can be associated with being heroic.

Sean, I've been playing Shades of Manhattan lately and just wanted to say, great game! it can be a bit difficult at times with that ruthless AI but overall really fun to play. Congratulations on all the hard work, When I first looked at Mugen I was very iffy about it, after finding your game I wanted to aspire to creating something original like you have!

Thankyou very much for the inspiration!

I'm very glad to hear that. I've been working hard on the characters and stages for SHADEs 2, and I hope you'll check it out when it's done. I know the first one wasn't the best, the sprites were a bit flat and the AI was brutal, but it's still great to hear that people liked it so much. Makes it all worthwhile.

What I love the most is the originality and playing with every character to see what they can do and even what they say!

I for one know it takes a long time to even create a character concept let alone cohesive story to bind them all together, By the way, I hope you do one day do the comic you originally intended.

I have a feeling I'm going to be learning a lot about how to utilise Mugen just by reading your forum.

the SHADES characters are quite nice, although I remember receiving a pretty big smackdown with Moses Maddigan using I think it was Black Friday on me. Thirteen is a personal favorite reminds me of what would happen if you combined Baraka with Wolverine, his bone blade special is really combo friendly to.

Anyways, this is good game if I do say so myself. Keep up the good work!

On a side note, I've fallen in love the Rorschach model Sean. He is really, really well made. His combo system, albeit a little cheap with the grapple hook, still makes him a unique character and a definite keeper. Props.

Thanks a lot guys. Rorschach is one of my favorite comic characters, so I had to make him. The reason I don't make more characters like that is because they have to be characters I truly love, or else investing that much time on a character that's not my own feels too much like work. Snake and Rorschach are characters I have passion for. Thanks for the compliments.

Once I get Snow and Sabotage's sprites updated, their EX versions will be updated as well. EX Adamas is just waiting for me to get around to updating. If I'd thought ahead, I'd just be able to use Adamas' .sff, but unfortunately EX Adamas has a different .sff with altered sprites. I do plan on releasing them, I just don't know when. Right now I'm just dreading updating Wyldestar because her sprites are so small it will be hard to add detail without it looking messy. Right now I have 13 fully updated, SHADEs 2-ready characters.

Adamas
Chad In Black
Specialist
Byrne
Ruckus
Fray
Moses Maddigan
Exile
Thirteen
Vesper
Apollo
EX Vesper
EX Apollo

I still need to update the following 10:

Snow
Sabotage
Wyldestar
Bloodtide
Zenith
Kane Kelly
EX Snow
EX Sabotage
EX Adamas
EX Wyldestar

I'm also working on the sprites for the last new character as well as editing Specialist's sprites for a Collection Agency mini-game type deal. Luckily, Snow and Wyldestar do share the same .sff as their EX counterparts, so once one is done the other will be too. I think I can get these sprites updated by the end of the summer, with sporadic releases as I finish them. If there is enough people interested, I can release the EX versions outside the full-game.

I just uploaded this vid of Specialist and Chad In Black updated and in action:

 Yay! New sabotage outfit! Is there a guide or something i can find for him? He is my favorite character, yet im not all that good at playing as him.

 Will there be new moves for old characters? That would be nice.

***August 9th, 2010***

Just released the updated Snow/EX Snow (go to this topic: http://mugenguild.com/forumx/index.php?topic=119129.0). On to Kane Kelly, than all that's left is Sabotage, Bloodtide, and Wyldestar.

Seriously, if there's anybody that is adept or competent at the CVS-Style of spriting that would be willing to help me with these last characters' updates, I would greatly appreciate it. All it consists of is updating old sprites to the new style. The pictures above give you an idea of how they are updated, so it's not a tremendous amount of work, it's just that I'm getting so tired of updating these old sprites. I could have made like 3 or 4 new characters in the time it's taken me to do this. My own fault, I know, but still, I'm ready to work on other stuff, and I'm so close to done that I can't stop now. I would try to make it up to you, if I could.

That looks pretty decent from afar. I wish someone could help me out with these though. Don't worry though, when SHADEs 2 is finished, I will be updating Snake and Rorschach's sprites just like I have for the SHADEs characters.

Anyway, here's a new update.

***August 25th Update***

I've finished updating all of Kane's sprites, as well as his gameplay. This probably doesn't mean much to most of you since Kane was never released, but I'm pretty proud of it because I thought Kane would take forever, and I managed to get all of his sprites updated in about 4 days (not straight obviously). Here's how he turned out:



Sprite Comparison:

Old ------------------------------------------------ New

Note that I changed his palette a bit, and also redrew his face using the suggestions Walt made in his character thread. So credit to him for that, because it does look better IMO.

Since then, I've moved onto updating Wyldestar's sprites. There's a bit of history with this character, so I'm being careful. She's also got a brand new voice, done by Rina-Chan (not the stock voices she posted, but actual original voice work). Here's how she's looking:




Old ------------------------------------------------ New

Her stance may change so it's not the exact same stance that Annie from ROTD has. A lot of specials will change because I've realized over time that she is too much like Annie. So, rather than redesign her character or change all those sprites, I've decided to change many of her moves. I figure if she's going to look so much like Annie, she should at least play differently.

Let me know what you guy's think.

I think you made her eyes too big, personally. Thanks though!

Also, Sabotage will be next, after Wyldestar is done. I saved him and Bloodtide for last since they are getting more extensive updates. Then all that will be left to do in the sprite department is finishing the sprites for Det. Laurel.

Personally I'm more interested in Kane since he never got a standalone release (embarrassingly I never got myself to play SHADES 1, despite playing with what was standalone released and loving it. :innocent:), but hey, Wyldestar was nice.

The sprites themselves need updating. More color depth and anti-aliasing like my latest sprites would look good on him, and would make him blend in better with other comic book characters floating around. He also could use some other gameplay updates and some bug fixes. Thanks for the praise though!

***Update 9/3/2010 - Sabotage***

Kist thought I'd share with you guys that not only have I started updating Sabotage's sprites, but he's been given a redesign. Not completely redesigned, but more or less I've made his outfit mor einteresting while still keeping the general look and style of the old one. I'm going to post three versions, with the three palettes I'm trying to decide on for his default palette. I can't decide which I like better, so I'll let you guys give me some input. I've included some of his completed animations so you can compare them more thoroughly:

That, my friend, is an example of one of the worst kinds of trolls in mugen.  Don't let that asshole get to you.  Someone like that, who can't even raise a remotely valid point, deserves only this.
