Hey everyone! Me and my two friends wanted to create a concept for chapter 5 by coming up with our own spin on the Woody theory. Dep U.T was created by Sad Lad and Vanilla helped animate the sprite. The two of them did an amazing job and I encourage you to check the two of them out! I'm happy with how this turned out, however I might come back and revisit in the future to create a V2, so keep your eyes peeled! Thank you @vanillainwater for the animation of Dep U.T. please check her stuff out it's really cool!

After replaying Cave Story and rewatching Nicalis's April fools post, I decided that I want to make a dedicated tribute by creating what they never did, a Cave Story RPG! Currently I whipped up some of the assets, trying my best to recreate them one to one. I also created a Curly Sprite!

Now spriting isn't what I normally do, in fact this is one of the very few instances I've made something in aseprite. However I figured it'd be fun to try! I took some inspiration from Mario and Luigi and tried to mimic that style.

On slide 2 is Curly's idle animation, with the left using 6 frames and the right using 3 frames. I plan on having more animations (running, attacking), but because my aseprite/animation skills are limited (and because it's just me behind this atm), it might take some a bit to get everything set up. And that's excluding the background and other characters..

Rest assured though I am determined to bring this concept to life! Cave Story has always been special to me and contributing something to the community has always been a goal of mine. If anyone would like to help, then feel free to reach out! My discord is quote0040
