[EXPANSION] Kirby's Adventure

[Kage]

Probably keep the sword. In all the games, all his attacks come from his sword including projectile sword beams, so if you remove the sword then what other means does he have to attack? Its not like he shoots lasers from his eyes or use his fists like Knuckle Joe.

Originally, I was planning to make Kirby HUDs, but on reflection, I think that Megaman-styled HUDs would be best, since these are weapons, not classes.

Also, I agree that keeping the sword makes the most sense/is the coolest.  In answer to your observation, I think that Yellow Devil was gonna make Meta Knight at one point, but he wanted to make it modern-styled instead of NES-styled, so there was some kind of hubbub, and it never happened.

Can...can we stop here for just a second?  Yeah, stop the music.
Thanks.  I'd just like to take a moment to say that I love the tenacity of this Expansion Pack.  This thing has been around since before I joined the forums, and heaven knows that was a long time ago.  I nostalgically recall my first step into skinning with Gordo (By the way, he and Flamer might not be fixed for Roboenza) ...good times.  Anyway, you guys keep at it!  We'll make it one day...probably not tomorrow, maybe not one day soon, but we'll make it!

Also going to try my hand at metaknight I am REALLY suprised nobody did him yet

I was literally just about to come in here and try spriting him for old time's sake.  But I guess I'll still try and help contribute, since no one cares about Thunder Blast Man anyway!  I'll try making Poppy Bros., since, well, I think we all like Poppy Bros. a little more after Game Grumps.

That's all I'll get from his actual sprites...this ain't gonna be easy.  Making this bugger stand still will be a challenge for the ages.  Maybe I'll look at some other Poppy Bros. sprites for reference.  Also, don't expect this to be done quickly or diligently--I'm known to get distracted.

In my honest opinion, Poppy Sr. could use some flesh coloring.

[LlamaHombre]

Only if Jr. did, I think.

What's the status on Meta Knight's skin? If he's not claimed like the OP states, then I'm interested in claiming him.

I WAS halfway done last night, until earlier today when my bro turned off the computer without saving it flushing all that hard work down the drain, so for now I only have the standing frames again. Fortunatly he works tommorow and I'm off so I might be able to finish it tommorow

[LlamaHombre]

Oh, I didn't even see your post. My apologies.

[Super Bondman 64]

Thanks for the encouragement, Chaos Fantazy!  I hope we can get this done sometime in the near-ish future.  I've just been strapped for time for a while now, 'cause school.  If it helps anything, I think I still have Poppy Bros. Jr's sprites here, for reference.  I used flesh color, 'cause it seemed more natural.  (Also I think it's a slightly old version maybe.)

Also, sorry about that Llama and Ice; I'll update the OP once I get the chance.  Let me know if there's any way I can help out!

Welp, can't argue with that.  There's white on his person again.
...That's actually a nice idea; make him jump forward instead of walking.  I think you just helped facilitate the making of this skin.  (If you don't mind me asking, though, what's with the Apple?  Is there a secret Apple skin?

I think the main reason progress hasn't been advancing is because there were four billion Skins that needed doing, and so people paid more attention to them instead of the Maps/Weapons--AKA, what really makes an Expansion Pack successful.  Now that the skins left to do have thinned, hopefully more people will be able to focus on the Maps and Weapons.  I really hope that Dream Spring gets taken up...I really want to see that map.

[Super Bondman 64]

I totally agree.  I really don't think that we need that many skins-- it's just that now that we have over half of them, it doesn't seem like there would be any logical way to have the rest be missing (like, only half of the mid-bosses or something).  I definitely think that a focus on maps/weapons would be more healthy at this point, but skin progress is also still awesome.

I wish I just had, like, a month's worth of time/motivation to just plow through everything left and release it  

Also secret apple skin bwahahahaha

Here is my progress on Mr. Bright so far.



Right now, I'm just working on the outline. I'll work on all the little details later.

Man, I know it's not much, but it's all I can do to help with my current level of skill.  I love to do the little things for Expansion Packs, so the better people here don't have to waste their time on them.

Progress I guess maybe kind of?

Added a bunch, including his walk cycle for Front/Right and Right.  The numbers off to the side are how high off the ground Senior was (in pixels) in the original Kirby's Adventure, then how high I'm thinking of letting him jump here.  Looking at it now, I think I messed up the order on the walk cycle...the ones in the middle should be the higher numbers.
Also drafted a bunch of stuff.  How's it look so far?

[Mr. X]

Those front sprites are really weird looking to me.  I think his eyes need to be much closer together and the top of his hat more rounded.  Oh, and wider feet.

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

I thought his eyes looked really stupid that close, but let's see how it looks...
Wow, I really did mess up on his shoes and hat, didn't I?  It was so flat because it's important that I maintain height consistency in a skin...it's one of the few things I can consistently get right in a skin without fucking up somehow.

Fixed, fixed, and fixed.  Does it look better now?  Got to make sure I got these parts right before moving on.

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

Double-post, I know, but I've finished Poppy Bros. Senior, and as always I'd like to collect thoughts about it sooner rather than later.

If you remain silent, I'll take your silence as acceptance.
