Contra : Locked 'N' Loaded

[Bloodbane]

 Thanks for the support.

The stage 5 boss can be considered HIGHLY offensive or Comical depending on perspective, but there are parts on it that have some potential.

 Yep, it does have potential.

also let me know if you need something ripped

 Well, can you rip alien sprites from Contra Hardcorps? Each story branch has its own alien set. I'd like to have all of them but I start with the story branch in which DeadJoe and Doctor have been killed early before going to 5th stage.

so the level 4 enemies right?
but which level 4?
do i chase deadeye joe, or save the research facility?
IOW how do i get there?

Oh, also do you think you can use these for anything?

excellent work
I really like that game ...
is possible that also uses the arcade sprites?

good luck

[Hanzo]

Nice work bloodbane I was wondering if you gonna use Contra 4 sprites in it?

[Vyck_St.Judas]

the C4 sprites are great and all but he art styles are a bit too contrasting. its his call in the end obviously, but they wont match well.

[BadChad]

Yeah, Contra 4 sprites might be a little to detailed for the rest of the game. But who knows...

[Gabo-Hanzo]

I know that are just a few sprites, but I can rip more for you if you want to use ...
I like the sprites from the arcade version

PS: It's hard to rip these sprites

Gabo-Hanzo?

 At least the size don't differ much. The color contrast is alot different though but that can be arranged. I've just ripped an alien from Contra Hardcorps and it plays great.

 Well, know where to get some? I would like to use sprites from Super Contra for arcade.

do i chase deadeye joe, or save the research facility?

 I told you, Kill Deadeye Joe (chase him) and Doctor (don't give up before him) before going to 5th stage. At 5th stage, the alien cell become uncontrolled turning Colonel Bahamut's base into alien nest.

 Oh yes, I'll spoil a bit of my plan. As you all know, Contra series usually start with droid and robots as early enemies and aliens as last enemies. In this mod, I want to flip the order. I want to have a story in which, players meet aliens early and robots latter in the mod. The regular one will be here too, that's why I set branch.
 You can see the sign in the demo. If you choose to go left, you meet alien boss and that's the sign of alien's path. If you choose to go up, you meet robot boss and you'll go to robot's path.

 Hmmm... the spider from Metal Warriors look interesting. As for front mission, nice robots but I'll just pick one or two cause there are enough robots just from Contra 3 and Contra Hardcorps. I need more aliens OTOH.

well I can rip some sprites for you, as there are no available on the net

not try to edit or alter your idea, but "CONTRA" is one of my favorite titles and Nes Arcade but I did not like the other subsequent conversions

is just my opinion

[BadChad]

Heres a robot boss from Gimmick for the NES that should prove useful for something. Just a bit of pallete work and detail and it should fit nicely.

[StryfeDC]

I'd like to test this out, but the DC needs a cd-r burned. I'd rather not waste one for nothing.

Can anyone qualified tell me if this is compatible with the DC?

[Bloodbane]

 Nice suggestion Badchad!

  For those who have played the demo and gone to upper path, you should notice missing effect. Yes, the arrow. I forgot to set arrow pointing up to show where to go next. Anyways, here it is:

Arrow Up:



 I've done with highway stage and here are couple shots:

Tank & Jetpack:



Missile Launcher:



Tough Jetpack:



Machine Gunner:



 That's the 2nd boss of Cyber Lip for those who don't know.

 I'm working on the other highway stage. Here's one shot:

Alien Runner:



 Yep, it's from Contra Hardcorps.

Looks better than better BloodB !
Those screens makes me feel the same desire to play than the original one's from snes and genesis.

PS: I started to draw the Boss's sprite, i'll send you soon as i can the finished version.

[BadChad]

Looking great, everyhting is blending together pefectly!

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

Man this is looking Good BloodB! I still plan on ripping those Contra Hardcore sprites, but it's hard to do it at home because with the little space I have left, Animget doesn't take as many screenshots like it used to, so I have to rip here, on my aunts PC. But I'll get'em. BTW about a year ago, I ripped the robots from the first stage of hardcorps. here they are if you want'em.
