Guess I owe everyone an update...
Friday, March 04, 2005
I've been busy with a bunch of stuff, some MUGEN related and a lot of them not. But so you know that there IS progress in my WIPs, I wanted to give you all a "State of the WIPs" update.
Lobo
Basics are all re-done with shinguards, thanks to Magus's help.
Voice is more or less done.
I'm re-editing the sprites for his Hook and Frag specials; they weren't very good. :|
Ice
I feel like she's so close to being finished that it's hard not to just release her now as-is... but there are still a few things she needs added. Magus just sent me a load of new sprites for her (things like a recovery roll and alpha counter), and she still needs a few sprites to finish her Amalgam attack, but she's most likely going to be my next release.
Her voice is also more or less done, thanks to some donated stuff from Loganir. :)
Green Lantern
If you've been visiting my site for very long at all you know that this guy's been on my "TO DO" list for pretty much my entire public MUGEN career. Well, thanks to my friend Enzo, he may someday soon become a reality... Enzo's sprite editing skills have increased TREMENDOUSLY over the past few months, and he has volunteered to help sprite a bunch (most?) of GL's stuff, so that the char actually gets done (what an amazing concept :-p). He's done a great job so far in making the new sprites fit the style that PrimeOp did so well in the sprites that HE finished, it should be seamless. I hope to post more here soon.
Marrow
Somebody has finally figured out the ArtMoney tables for Marvel vs Capcom 2, so a full sprite sheet of Marrow has finally been released. With that, I'll finally be able to go back and add in the stuff that my old WIP was missing... but there are still some pretty major programming bugs that I need to find and correct before she sees release... and somebody out there just might beat me to it, if I don't hurry. :-P
Silver Surfer
X-Boy recently sent me some new stuff he's working on, but it's not ready for me to add yet. Maybe I'll update this soon.
So I guess the theme of this update is, "I get by with a little help from my friends." Every single WIP I'm actively working on has had other people involved as well. Guess I just work better in groups. ;)

Time for an update...
Tuesday, August 03, 2004
Gee whiz, time goes by more quickly than you'd expect it to. Lots of stuff has happened since last post here (remember, Warmachine Madness forums are much more active when it comes to finding out what I'm doing ;)).Lobo: Main Men and Mr. Hook are done. Working on his Frag! special, but it still needs to be balanced. When the air version if done, I'll be releasing Beta 1. Not long now. Also, this Lobo the Duck sprite was done for a sprite contest over at Warmachine Madness, but it's the basis for the Amalgam hyper Lobo's going to eventually have (except it might not be a proton cannon by that point)
Ice, Parasite, & Green Lantern: Actually I haven't worked on them since last update, but they're coming to the top in the pile of WIPs that I have on my plate now... I'm afraid I've taken on a bit more than I should have at once. :-
Marrow's nearly done. Just have to clean up the nasty sprites from the Bone Buster & Stinger Bones hypers, and fix the programming of the Ricochet Slash and Ride & Slash specials (both are off a bit). She'll very likely be my next release.
Guido: He's coming along rather nicely. Has a few specials & hypers now, McCready's working on a few more and he'll be done. Maybe in a few months...
Silver Surfer: X-Boy, the guy who's Human Torch WIP I'm programming for the Fantastic Four Project, has sent me a slew of cool Silver Surfer sprites, so I've started putting him together too (Torch is on hold, by the way, until Surfer is done). I've got his standing basics done, and have sprites for most of his gethits, crouching & air basics, so they'll be coming up soon too.
