Brian Griffin [Preview thread finished]

[[IN]famous]

  HEY MFG!

This is a preview of my very FIRST Mugen creation. (yay for me!)

- A short intro
I once DL a Brian Griffin character for my Mugen. I can't remember who it was by but it was really bad. Not even finished. And for some reason there was a giant berry with a ray gun? WTF? Anyway, that is what tipped me over the edge to learn how to create characters myself. And I decided to start with Brian.

Character : Brian Griffin [Family Guy]







... a sample from the sprite sheet


i will release the full sprite sheet when completed.

If all goes well I should have a beta version to try within the next week or 2 (i hope).

- Brian is built over kung fu man v-ism style. I thought it best to start out with something simple seeing as i didn't know what the f/k i was doing.
- I used a sprite sheet rip by Sousanator from family guy desktop buddy as a starting point.
- I've added about 80% more sprites! 
- So far i have collected about 25 sounds files. (some classic lines )

Comments welcome.

Looks awesome,
"Remaking" Old characters who were fucked up in their old releases is great job, I am making one myself.

[Zingo]

Cool can't wait to see how he turns out!

[BOOMSQUAD206]

Yes, Every other Brian Griffin for MUGEN I See pisses me off. They all suck. Yours on the other hand, [IN]famous looks amazing. Keep up the good work.

  Hey thanks for the comments so far!

I'm prob at about 96/7%. Not long now.

I still haven't decided if it will be a beta, or just a one time release? I kinda want to start on my next character . Already started the sprite sheet. This one is going to be 100% original sprites

O' Hi 

It's fine that you don't like. But really, you can't judge a character by 1 screen shot. Can you? 

Can I ask what it is you don't like about that particular picture? (for future reference, so I can get a feel for what people actually want ((if i decided to go down that path)) rather than making stuff I want.)

I'm new.

[Zingo]

Well, I can answer..based on the one screen shot.  The Brain with the blue collar is facing the wrong way and he looks like he is walking in the air, nor does he look like he has a jump animation. 

There is also the special that is being done by the Brain with the red collar, Stewie appears to be pressing a button and on the side a angel winged Stewie and Brain with a drink in has hand appear, probably makes no sense.  I bet these things were what led him to say "No thanks." 

I on the other hand won't judge just on the one screen and will wait and see...hope it turns out better than  Invader Zim, Roger from American Dad, and Chris from Family Guy that have been released.

It's just the screenshot. He is not walking on air. He does have a jump animation. I did use sprites more than once (that particular sprite is indeed from his run cycle) to save time.  

There is also the special that is being done by the Brain with the red collar, Stewie appears to be pressing a button and on the side a angel winged Stewie and Brain with a drink in has hand appear, probably makes no sense.  I bet these things were what led him to say "No thanks."

... well, the make no sense part i can agree with, but i thought it looked cool. I can see that maybe if i changed it to something more of like them fighting, or getting ready to fight, or something like that.? Stewie does push the button, on the start of the v-ism hyper.

I on the other hand won't judge just on the one screen and will wait and see...hope it turns out better than  Invader Zim, Roger from American Dad, and Chris from Family Guy that have been released.

I'm glad you will wait. I hope you wont be disappointed. 

Those characters you mentioned I have not tried so I can't say for sure, but Brian will work. And he's not cheap or has any bugs (that i know of atm).

Question: Has stewie been released by anyone? (that you know of)

> I was thinking of doing Roger if no one had done him. Is he really bad? Is there a link, i might check it out.

[Laharl]

yes its bad darkspindoctor made it and its TERRRRIBLE

Any link? Now I want to see it more.  A shame if it is so bad because the character has potential. Basically you're saying the character needs to be re-made?

[[IN]famous]

more screencaps!


lol. peter taking one in the nuts.


PBJT! Hell Yeah! I only found out about half way thru doing these (atm 4 sprites) that Mr Warner had done an update to peter with these included. If i had known i would have asked if i could use them, would have saved time. If someone has it could they maybe post the gif.  i'm not asking much.

big portrait. do you like? y/n?

thanks for the comments so far!

I've preety much used up my coding knowledge (which isn't much ) so it's only the final touchups on the sprites and to get the sound files working correctly. After that it's as ready as it can be atm.

> An issue I haven't yet addresed : How to upload characters for sharing.

- Any tutorials around here? links?
- Best websites for hosting (pref ones you dont have to join. free???)
- I'm assuming you just save the entire character file as a winzip for others to download?
(forgive the noobishness of some of these questions. they wont be asked again )

[Two-Tone Dearly]

looks promising

will he have a special intro against Peter?

[[IN]famous]

looks promising

Hi! Thanks.

will he have a special intro against Peter?

I'm trying to do that atm, funny you mention it. However, I can't figure out the code, yet.

<-- (i need some kind of ninja coder to give me a little sample, would help.) I've been looking at peters cns for how to do stuff, even though I only have a mild grasp of anything past 'beginer' coding. I'm hoping that gets better.

I don't yet have any soundfiles that might go into it. I was thinking of doing 'IN YOUR FUCKING FACE, FUCKWAD!!!', from season 5 i think it is, or a version with no swear (for the younglings ) if I can figure out how to do it.

8) help!

> I guess if anyone has a better quote in mind they can post the idea here. Seeing as nothing is done on it yet there is plenty of room for input, as long as it's good and within my skills base for me to actually DO IT!

[Zingo]

Yep, Roger needs to be remade..it was beyond terrible.  He pretty much stands there as you fight, Stewie also needs to be made well..think there are two versions out there and they stink.

Did you make these sprites yourself?

[[IN]famous]

Did you make these sprites yourself?

Hi!

Yes. Well, at least 85-90% (if not more). I used some sprite sheets you can get from google search (Brian and Stewie) as a starting point. All the attacks and jumps are original, as well as any portraits or pictures. I've also done stuff like take the bottle that peter uses to throw and use that as one of brians attacks to give the two characters some type of connection (seeing as he is peters dog )

It's the first complete Mugen character sprite sheet i've done.

[Hyogo]

I might of missed if this was mentioned or not, what type of gameplay with he have?

[robthedob]

Wow man for a first your actually very good ive tried makn a char but its so confusing is it possible to make a Tut of the basics?
Very talented char you've made Awesome 

[Hyogo]

But there isn't a video preview or a release yet...

[Zantetsuken]

I'll be keeping an eye on the progress of this.

He looks interesting.
