I've got a new updated version of Mineroid! Here ya'll go. There wasn't much to fix, but in the end it looks way better.

I'm still not crazy about the shading. It's better now, but I would recommend taking a look at the X1-X2 Sigma sprites. I think the lightest color on the legs, arms and chest could be moved around/expanded to make it look better.

I must make an announce to this community which received us with open arms when we started this project. Since tomorrow, Ermac210 and me will be studying for a degree, then the project will be at a standstill for some months. Maybe we will keep doing minor things and work with some people, but don't spect great advances until December.
Thanks for all and we will do oue best effort to continue this project.

Greetings ;)

Hey ya'll! :)

Please don't take Craven's message as a sign that there wont be anything happening during that period. Ill try to compose songs as much as I can too! He will be busy but i will only be half busy HA HA (bad joke, I know)

Here's my latest one, just finished it today after long weeks of work

Already posted it on a thread, but this is also for the project so, consider it a sneek peek :p

[FRANK TORPEDO]

Sounds pretty good.

[Vaankar]

Thanks mate ;)

[gate]

this sound is fantastic! good job!

[AxlRocks]

I agree, awesome work on that song! It really captures the style of the SNES X games.

Well, actually, no joke. that maverick may be in the game, so if any spriter wishes to make him i'd be more than honored and happy for the cooperation and ill be sure to provide all of his descriptions :)

The design is on the vid description (my deviant art channel), let me know whoever wishes to contribute

Your maverick WILL be part of the game . Ermac and I agreed with that.

Very cool sprites! Like them! I did not understood the very first thing you said, you said you can help me build a sprite? If that's the case I am very well willing to learn to make a sprite, even more if its a maverick of my own :D

Just tell me what's the best program or some tips and ill get right into it!

(I know spanish, btw)

That's absolutely awesome then, thanks mate ;)

Ill be sure to finish up that drawing with all the designs, attacks and etc.

[gate]

I said that I could do some sprites.
to learn about creating sprites is only a matter of time and practice(I use photoshop this best!)
google translator forever jaja...

spanish?:
yo decía que les podría hacer algunos sprites.
para aprender a crear sprites es solo cuestión de tiempo y entrenar(ocupo photoshop es lo mejor)-
te podría dar consejos si es que me entiendes bien el español por que ingles me entenderías otras cosas xD

[Vaankar]

That would be perfect! I have a drawing of the maverick, its almost done. Craven and Ermac (the guys behind the project) will be a little tight with college so everything not programming-related can go on without any rush I believe :D You can either teach me or do the sprite, as you wish. If I may be bold, i'd love to at least give a try to this maverick specifically, If I manage to make the sprite, you can help me build the rest of the sheet with the moves and all? I know I am asking perhaps too much and forgive me if it sounds like i'm trying to take advantage of you, but I think the challenge comes in the animation and I am really, really bad at that I believe.

muchas gracias por ofrecerte a ayudar :D voy a resumir lo que dije arriba en ingles asi que, bueno. Me gustaria aunque sea hacer el primer dibujo del maverick en version sprite, por cosa de que me encantaria que mi primer sprite sea el mismo personaje que disene y le hice un tema (me siento completo? hahaha :p)

Ahora, soy horrible animando (sobre todo, articulando) asi que me encantaria que me ayudaras en terminar la hoja de sprite de el :)

[FRANK TORPEDO]

To be honest, you really don't need anything fancy for making sprites. You just need Microsoft Paint and that's it.

The start's a little bit jumpy and bleh, but once it gets past that the song gets epic. Good work!

[Vaankar]

Then pain.. i mean, paint, it is!

About the song: Tried to make the intro something that gives a hook into the song, I think that from a first listen it may be like "who, what?" lol, idk, I cant judge it because i heard it so many times I got used to it so you may be right; I do can tell you it was the biggest challenge for me on the whole song! You have no idea how many days i spent just on thinking of 5 silly seconds for the intro :p. But its good to know what you said, you know, for next time; so thanks ;)

May I share a few cents here too? even though I'm not an expert (yet) at composing music, I still think I might have a few suggestions to make it sound better.

The song overall is very well made, however there was something that kinda bothered me. The "melody" isn't really memorable, like something you would whistle on your way home or hum while in the shower. It kinda sounds like a bunch of notes thrown at random without consistency. Like if it was one huge guitar solo, dunno if I'm making myself clear with that D:
About the intro, I think you should make it shorter if its meant for an stage. Because at first it sounds like the beginning of an epic battle theme, and then switches to a serious styled stage theme (like Storm Eagle's stage).
Also, try to change the main instrument used for the melody from time to time, specially after the first "part" of the song (dunno how to call it D:, its the one that starts at 0:28)
The last thing would be that the transition between the first 2 sections of the song are kind of... rough?... (damn my lack of musical lingo). It should have a smoother transition between them, because it kinda sounds like 2 different songs. The one you did at 0:47 would be a good example of what I mean.

Still like I already said, the song is well made and sounds right for the SNES X style. I hope you'll keep improving :D
Note: I can edit and translate all that to spanish if it helps you Van.

[Vaankar]

Its ok and ill throw in my few cents too: They are all too guitar-driven! change the instruments for once! damn it!

lol... that was a note to self. But alright, regarding what you said, it doesnt matter if you are a pro on music or not, hell they don't even have to make sense! it all matters to me :) , Im no pro either

And of course ill consider it all for the next song. Thanks mate!
