It seems like maybe the bookkeeping for this expansion is kinda behind, so I'm gonna try to sum up everything in the last 40 pages or so.  I'm sure this is full of all kinds of misinformation and errors, so please feel free to straighten me out.

Decoder Ring

-------------------SKINS-------------------

(click to show/hide)

I based these lists on Kapus's (I hope that was okay), added the enemies from the game that were missing from the original list, and arranged them all alphabetically by the names given on the Wiki.  When the enemy names were different, I put the Wiki's names in brackets to the right.  I also added people's names to the skins they made, for credit-reasons.  Making 60 different skins for the win!

Apparently Parasol is an enemy...?

-------------------WEAPONS-------------------

(click to show/hide)

-------------------STAGES-------------------

(click to show/hide)

I wasn't sure why Llama's map was marked rejected, or why Rainbow Resort was a CTF map, so I put both of those on there just in case.  Also, I agree with Roc that maybe it might be better to have more than one stage per world, if people would want to do it.

-------------------MISCELLANEOUS-------------------

(click to show/hide)

I had heard it suggested that there be a campaign/boss battle included with the expansion.  Also, I wondered whether there needed to be Kirby-related items in the levels, like Shotzo, or explosive falling coconuts, so I put "Actors" on there in case.

Since I just realized that MagnetMan is currently on an indefinite hiatus from Cutstuff (as Roc referenced a page or so ago), I kind of agree that we need someone to take over for him in running the expansion, if that's possible, to keep track of all this stuff and make executive-flavor decisions, so that this thing can eventually get finished.  (If no one else wants to, I would be willing to do it, though admittedly I only have experience making skins and maps with custom textures, so far...)

Though we might want to stick with their KA appearances, those trophies all look very awesome!

As far as the sound effects, I'm not sure whether there's already somebody working on them, but I thought I should point out this video the Kirby Wiki links to with all the sounds.  I'm not sure whether we would need permission to use them or not, but it might be easier than getting them from the game itself...

uhhh...hi there...i'm just letting you know that i'm in the middle of making a nightmare star orb skin at the moment due to wanting one so badly so...yeah i guess that means I wanna help in a way

(click to show/hide)

I think it looks awkward and detracts from the effect of the Star Orb, but Nightmare with firing rotations is done.  Hope you like it--I sure don't.

I think Nightmare Star Orb was already maybe maybe finished by Chaos Fantazy, though it's probably fine for you to go head with your own if you just want to make one outside the expansion, or if Chaos's never got actually finished and submitted somehow.

Also, Kapus has been keeping this rolling in MagnetMan's absence, so he would probably be the best one to take over, if anyone does...

I've made some progresh on the Sonic Man skin.

(click to show/hide)

I'm planning on doubling the floating frames for his walking animation right now, and after I got this far I realized that on the spritesheet from the game his air tank is kind of fatter and highlighted differently than I've done it, so I may mess with that a bit too.

What do you guys think?

Just so everybody knows, Cappy and Togezo are finished and submitted.

Also, I agree that hats probably wouldn't work very well with all the varying skin heights we're probably going to have.  But on the other hand, I really do like the idea of having a single power at a time, with infinite ammo (and potentially stat alterations).  That seems closer to the original game, and would make the expansion much more distinct and interesting (and fun!).  Would the weapons pickups look like the enemies in frozen form, like in the game?

Incidentally, anyone still doing the Sonic Man skin?  If not, I could take it-- he looks pretty pro. :P

Also, I agree that the Wily fight from the end of Megaman 3 would make a pretty good boss-- it has the most interesting stage, at least, what with all those green ice pops shootin' outta the floor.  Maybe even Coroq and Wily at the same time.

Hey guys,

I think I decided to go with Configuration 1, but I also tried to polish it up, and give him a better-looking walking animation that's more recognizably walking, and that hopefully lets you see which direction he's facing despite his hat.  I think I had something like the tentacle-hopping from Day of the Tentacle in mind.

What do you guys think?

(click to show/hide)

Also, since as far as I know he hasn't been taken yet, what do you guys think of this first version of a Togezo spritesheet?

EDIT: Just realized I left off pain sprites for Togezo.  Whoops!

What do you guys think of these sprites for Cappy, and their possible configurations?

(click to show/hide)

On the first configuration, his hat only pops up while he fires, which seems more in keeping with his behavior in the game, though it pretty much keeps you from telling which way he's walking.

On the second one, I tried to implement Korby's idea of having the hat move while walking, and
his hat also still pops up while firing.

Looking at it now, I could probably move the hat closer to his head on some of the hurt sprites.  Does anyone have any other suggestions for alterations to the sprites, or a preference on the configurations (or even a new configuration)?

I want to try to get this as good as possible, since this seems (at least to me) to be one of the more iconic Kirby enemies.

Also, on a totally unrelated note, will this expansion have a bonus level that incorporates the Crane Fever, Egg Catcher, and Quick Draw minigames?    Maybe the Museum area with powers on pedestals, even...

Yeah, I was kind of thinking about Cappy, though I'm not really sure how to handle his cap yet. :P

Thanks!  I thought the Kirby's Adventure expansion sounded like fun, and I wanted to help out.  Glad you thought it looked okay.
