TMNT

[Crimefighters2]

Somehow I missed this?
Whoa love the dark art style, really impressive, some of the best orginal sprite work I've ever seen.

A few grapples would be nice though and maybe a fatality or two.

Thanks a lot man! I don't know about fatalities, but grapples sound pretty good!

Do you realize how it has been since i wanted a Darker version of TMNT? years and now that I've seen this i might have to wait that long...

 
Wonderful work sir just wonderful....

[GaBoTiCo]

Thaks a lot JetStrange sir! It's been a while too since I wanted a darker version of the TMNT, but I'm not sure how long this is gonna take me, it's been a few years already, but it's a lot of fun despite the amount of work.

it was the first time I used "anim spawn" for example and I was surprised how easy it was, I definitely need to add spawn animation for the Foot Soldiers too.

 Yep, SPAWN animation is easy to set up.
 And it has more uses than just eye candy i.e:
1. Give clue to players about enemy's appearance
2. Allow enemies to appear in middle of screen

 It's possible to spawn enemies in middle of screen without SPAWN animation but it will look bad since enemies pop out of nowhere.

 One thing you need to remember about using SPAWN animation is that flip command in level spawn is important now. Enemies without SPAWN animation normally auto flip to face player (that's why flip setting is hardly useful). However, for ones with SPAWN animation, they won't auto flip until SPAWN animation ends.

but it's a lot of fun despite the amount of work.

 That's the spirit!

True that Bloodbane! I was thinking of using spawn animation to make the Foot Soldiers look a bit more intimidating when they make an entrance. About warning the players about enemies, yes, I think so too,  that adds more depth to the gameplay, and makes it more fun (which is what this is all about anyway).

[Crimefighters2]

Yeah some grapples would be great! I didn't really think about how time consuming it must be, but great job so far!

Thanks a lot Crimefighters2, seriously! Comments like yours keep me going. Making sprites from scratch takes time, but once you see it in action is so satisfying. It's quite a process and I'm grateful that thanks to a website like LavaLit I'm able to show my progress, 4 real, as a kid I used to dream of doing this I'm doing right now.

and of course your gonna add casey jones right?  right?

its okay I just wanted to know is all

[GaBoTiCo]

It's all good DUDE! I understand! You've been waiting for a darker version of the TMNT, just like I had been waiting for an engine like OpenBOR waaaaaaay before it came out!!

Personally this is the most anticipated mod I love tmnt and really am digging what you're pumping out

[GaBoTiCo]

Thanks so much! It really means a lot! Hopefully that anticipation will not lead to disappointment!
