You guys only get a video, sorry. I made this in the free version of Gamemaker so I can do .exe files. But maybe I'll look into buying the full version now that I'm getting a feel for it :]
I'll throw some of the little gifs n things I made for it under the cut 💙
First off, here's the full description I wrote for each character in my original pitch, which I ended up cutting out in the final info page. Leaving space to explain the controls was a little more important.
I used the gifs I made last semester for their basic walking and jumping sprites, but we also have idle standing sprites now!
And Ollie has her punch. And Rat's crawl actually had two frames, though I couldn't get them to animate correctly in-game.
punching him lol
Moe's and Ollie's sprites are all the same for left or right, they're just mirrored. But Rat's "spots" are different depending on which way he's facing.
These banners were gonna pop up when you switch characters, but I didn't end up using them. They're cute tho!
And LEDD got a sprite! Look at his eyes go, yippee!
The shape of The Dark's monsters were made by just slapping Moe, Rat, and Ollie's walking sprites together. I think it adds a fun eeriness to them, cause you can kiiinda recognize each of their shapes in there. Which is then maybe ruined by watching them go flying when they hit the walls weird. That was a glitch that I refused to fix. It's funny <3
Oh also. I didn't show the credits menu in the video because it has my Real Legal Name, but the sound effects and music are all from kirby games! (Super Star and Dream Course specifically)
I'm happy to answer more questions about the game if yall want, since you can't play yourselves ^^ Maybe I can revisit this concept sometime
