raocow's thread -mention me raocow!!!!

Demo's normal balloon form still looks huge and the reason for this is:
Mario has arms, unlike Demo. So, Demo's belly has to get much more inflated than Mario's.

Small Demo's running sprites look great, but normal Demo has no feet! I'm pretty sure that's intentional, but it makes the running animation look choppy.
Castle-destroying Demo is awesome!

Yeah, Balloon-Mario is round and "balloon like", Balloon-Demo is very square-ish.

I could make her more 'round' but then I wonder if it's going to be true to the hit-box, that's what I'm afraid of.

You could always try to extend her hair a bit to "fill up" some of the hitbox.

than how is she supposed to carry that hammer without arms and hold shells and keys ?

and heres a bigger image of demo



she looks fine just needs a more centered eye

[Tolka]

hem, perhaps just a few dots of the shadow skin tone at the edge or corner of the eye may be enough to make it stand out more? it's hard to say without seeing the actual sprite.

[SpikyRat]

I think she holds an item on one foot and hops around on the other.

[Fawriel]

I have to say, I... actually liked her colors on the map screen. ^^;

[gamefreakzach]

So is Demo the official name now or what?

Why not?

Kollab Krew: Am I over-extending my reach if I resprite the power-ups? They're like one frame each and are just STARING at me in GFX00....

[HarmfulGravemind]

You now what I think? probably not, but I will tell you.
I think it should be like VIP with custom Graphics for like everything, (Powerups, Ennemys, Mario)

At my opinion, raocow, if you want to make custom Powerups then do it! It would be amazing :D

[flameofdoubt]

I would be very interested to see what powerups work on demo, and there aren't any finalised at the moment so it's open for you.

Why not? Just make sure you make each power up wacky and creative!

[Fawriel]

Oy, oy! If we're redoing the whole darn sprite set thing and stuff, I wanna get in on that action! Please? Pretty please?

[raocow]

Haha, I just wanted to redo 'Mario' and I figured it'd be fitting to play with the power-ups.

But hey, if the peeps are for it, maybe you could make a 'sprite replacement thread' or something?

[Fawriel]

Hmmm! So you wanna do the power-ups, and you've already done the player character, so any more permanent changes to other sprites besides one-shot changes for singular stages, should be in a somewhat coherent style, and stuff, but also not too coherent or else we'll end up with just Super Mario World backgrounds and watercolor Eldritch Abominations walking all over the place and stuff...

Alright, I'll start a thread about it!

[Kil]

That original sketch of demo is super cute but I'm not sure I'm seeing the resemblance totally in the sprite.

The sprite came first actually! I drew that sketch in the brief time between the recording of the first video and posting said first video.

Today I'm trying to darken the skin since it'll help make the eye more visible

[Argumentable]

Demo could be your site's mascot

[Norpser]

I think demo would be great for the game / mascot as argumentable said. The only thing that would be nice is if when she swims, it used more than just her one leg lol. It looks really weird

[Fawriel]

The most awesome thing would be if you could somehow make it so that Demo moves like some sort of eel while she's swimming, turning her whole body into a streamlined... wiggly thing. Too bad that that would probably end up looking really awkward with so few frames... too bad.

STUFF!!

Basically, more fixes, a general 'game play' section to check out smootheness, darkened her skin to see the 'eye' better, new powerup images.

Next up - fixing swimming



unrelated edit

Does any of you post stuff for this hack in the 'post stuff' general thread in smwcentral? Because I like to read that thread from time to time, so if you do, just to somehow put a warning for me, I guess. I don't know.

[smokestackJACK]

just wondering.

Is this hack made by raocow, or is this our hack to raocow

[Personalness]

you might want to center the flower on the fire flower bush or put 2 flowers on it so its not all "hey there Im just gonna warp around on this bush here."

[gamefreakzach]

just wondering.

Is this hack made by raocow, or is this our hack to raocow

Our Hack to raocow, although raocow is taking part in it as well, made 3 levels and Demo/cactus/popcorn/radish.

Awesome Powerups by the way.
