So, I realized I haven't posted anything in a well. It's not that I haven't been doing anything, I just keep getting sidetracked. Like, I came up with an idea for a spoof kaiju game after spending Marco March looking into kaiju media. Generally speaking, I hated Kaiju stuff beforehand, but now I realized most of that stemmed from Godzilla/s (Seeing Spiderman thank Godzilla after he nearly killed Mary Jane and made them both homeless was maddening.) All that aside, this was what I've been working since April:

Cornucopian Calamity is a spiritual successor to Super Mario Bros. 2 with the main game-play mechanic being weight gain through character diets. Depending on your character or the enemy, they will eat objects thrown at them instead of getting hit. For example, Matt here is a herbivore and can't eat anything meat related. So, he won't eat the meat on his right if it's thrown at him, but he'll eat the carrot on his left. To add onto this, player characters automatically eat their favorite food when holding them, Matt favorite food is bananas so he can use carrots without eating them, but he'll immediately eat any bananas he grabs.

Let me know what you guys think of the sprites so far. I think the items, tiles, and clouds look good, but Matt still needs some work.

(Note: The background sky is just filler for the mock-up. The first area is a farm surrounded by trees and I'm not doing the background for it until I'm satisfied with the character sprites. I might end up changing the game name as well...)
