Hi. Something so very cool and awesome about working with sprites is you always. underestimate how many you're gonna need.
The final intent was to have them all just mouth open / mouth close talk, like the 3d models do in-game, with the Gordon sprite being the only emoting one. Benry breaks the rule a little, namely cause his monologue is so so long it needed a bit of visual variation, and well, i guess it kind of tracks.
… that said, in the early early days, Gordon was going to just have the HEV suit helmet as his sprite, i was excited about that cause it meant I wouldnt have to do expressions for him.. but .. that thing looks weird scary so I dropped it pretty quickly, def for the better.
There are a couple up there that got cut. Benny's smile and kinda regretful looking one, used when making fun of Gordon and talking about ps+ respectively, but i thiiink it kinda felt better to keep him as neutral as possible.
maybe you're wondering why there's 1/2 a benny up there. he almost made it into the game. Before I had the big scary guy done, i was really attached to his placeholder, but at that point i wanted to keep up the "fake serious" vibe, or.. yknow as fake serious as you can be talking about hev slips..
Ok! thats all i had. i've also got some 3d models that ive been meaning to release into the wild for some time now… the ones from the ending sequence in particular, so keep a look out for em.
Ohh, and I guess as a general note, if you'd wanna use any of these posted assets for anything (non monetized ofc), then you can
