You can always edit your hero if it doesn't look good.
Try it little by little, pixel by pixel (try zooming/dezooming) and play a with it to see if it suits you.

Make black border at least 2pixel wide (it looks better and avoid flickering)

here's my second two creations, the sexecutioner from gwar and good ole' optimus prime! note: it seems that you can't go back and edit the name of the hero once you save as something, or nothing in my case.

well you can always draw Fry XD...he go well with Leela

btw the only reason i draw bender is he is the easyest to draw in all futurama character....and i dont know he turn out so well. XD

i heard there is a sword in this game....if that is true, i'll draw him a broken sharp bottle...

I'm surprised theres been no Metroid/Samus ones! I tried to do one last night and it was pretty good (in fusion suit) but I had no way of taking a pic except with my cell phone which is very poor quality.
Is the game actually any good?

Thug4L1f3, you can always send your .sav file to your computer and run the emulator like i did...the result is much better then camera.

btw shelleeson, can you upload your Leela?

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
