[EXPANSION] Kirby's Adventure

[Strange Metool]

Since I'm still listed for Bugzzy and the old images are gone, I restarted from scratch.

Here's it so far:

Blade Knight looks great, Fyone!  Would you have time to do a little bit of tuning up with it, though?  I noticed that there were a couple of offset errors for the firing and hurt sprites, where his feet go down into the floor, and I think his back-diagonal walking maybe jumps sideways a little too much.  Also, the front/back walking might need a little tweaking, too-- I think that mainly all it needs is for one hand to come forward when the other comes back, so he doesn't just put his arms behind him.  I think there's a missing pixel from the tip of his sword on the second forward-walking frame, too.  I hope this isn't too critical, and thanks so much for putting in so much work to help with the expansion!

Also, Bugzzy looks great so far, Metool!  Sorry, though, I didn't mean to take away Brotoad's WIP if you still needed it.  The only cranky-flavored criticisms I would have would be that his wing heights/sizes seem a little inconsistent between the angles-- maybe his wings should be a little smaller on the front/back/side frames, to match with the original diagonal one?  I might also make the back-diagonal wings a little bit bigger, and move his hand up a little on the straight-back direction.  Thanks again for helping with the expansion-- let me know if there's anything I can do to help out!

Alright, I'll get right on the the fixes for Blade Knight. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding Bugzzy, the side pose's wings are definitely off; they seem to go too far behind him compared to his other sprites. For this, I'd reccommend using the front/r sprite, where what would be Bugzzy's left wing is on a side-on perspective, as an example of the proportions of the wings for the side pose. In the back/r sprite, Bugzzy's left arm should be obscured by his back a bit more, instead of being a copypasta'd version of his right arm. I'd also suggest to experiment with details on his back a bit; some appropriate uses of white and blue would definitely help those rotations, whereas now his back is just a solid black colour. Also, Bugzzy's arms in his back rotation should be raised higher, to remain consistent with his other rotations. Other than this, good work. I can't actually compare these sprites to the ones posted a while back considering the images are no longer available, but hey. I'd assume they're an improvement.

[Fyone]

Alright the new Blade Knight, hopefully I got everything.

[Super Bondman 64]

Whoops, sorry to take so long getting back to you, Fyone-- the skin looks great!  Do you mind if I tweak it a little bit more before putting it in officially?  Some of the offsets still look a little odd to me, but it's not anything major.

[Fyone]

Sure, do anything that you think will make it better.

[Super Bondman 64]

Yay, thanks Fyone!

I can't remember if I posted these already, but how does this look to youse guys for MAPINFO stuff, just as far as map/music names go?

(click to show/hide)

map KA1VEG "KA1: Vegetable Valley"
{
next = "KA2ICE"
music = "VEGMUS"
}
map KA2ICE "KA2: Ice Cream Islands"
{
next = "KA3BUT"
music = "CRMMUS" //Avoiding conflict with Ice Man
}
map KA3BUT "KA3: Butter Building"
{
next = "KA4GRA"
music = "BUTMUS"
}
map KA4GRA "KA4: Grape Garden"
{
next = "KA5YOG"
music = "GRPMUS" //Avoiding conflict with Gravity Man
}
map KA5YOG "KA5: Yogurt Yard"
{
next = "KA6ORA"
music = "YOGMUS"
}
map KA6ORA "KA6: Orange Ocean"
{
next = "KA7RAI"
music = "ORAMUS"
}
map KA7RAI "KA7: Rainbow Resort"
{
next = "KA8DRE"
music = "RAIMUS"
}
map KA8DRE "KA8: Dream Spring"
{
next = "KA1VEG"
music = "DREMUS"
}

Also, maps are progressing, so I'll probly post some screenshots soon-ish.

Could always use the format I constantly use for Kirby music, which is "KIR(four letters)" such as "KIRVEGE" for Vegetable Valley or "KIRICEC" for Ice Cream Islands.

[introstrings]
"Let me paint you a lovely portrait... of all of you losing to me, HA HA HA!"
"Draw your weapon!"
"/me skates onto the battlefield."
[fragstrings]
"Hold that pose!"
"Whoops, got my Paint all over you!"
"Perfect!"
[killedstrings]
"/me trips after struggling on his skates."
"What do you have against artists like me?"
"What a waste of good paint!"
[rareroamingstrings]
"Anyone Seen Ado and Adeline?"
[roamingstrings]
"That background is beautiful! *Sketches an idea for later.*"
"Anyone seen my Easel?"
"/me paints a painting."
[winstrings]
"Yes! My masterpiece is finished!"
"You know what they say, the pen is mightier than the sword!"
[losestrings]
"Aw, it was a bad idea from the start..."
"/me skates away sadly."
"My masterpiece! It is ruined!"

I kinda like the KA prefix right now, but do you think it would be better to leave the numbers off?  It might make it easier to remember for map votes and such.

Also, nice botchat, Game&Watcher!  "Draw your weapon" is pretty clever!  

[Korby]

I meant for music codes, your map codes are fine.

[Super Bondman 64]

Ah, I see.  All right, thanks for the suggestion!

So how far along is this, anyway? I see a lot of "progress" being made but honestly I haven't actually seen anything. Feels like a lot of going nowhere fast, really.

I don't mean to be rude but yeah, some screenshots or status updates or ANYTHING would be just dandy.
