Memories of Xevious... good stuff.

My jaw dropped...

Looking good!.. Man, everything is so detailed, i especially like the nebula.

Very sweet designs man.

That boss reminds me of a boss from an old nes game called Gaurdian Legends. I couldn't find an example picture, but if you've played it, you might know what I'm talking about.

I like your detail, and the colors you put in your work. Very nice, 5/5

i want to borrow your starry sky + nebula drawing skills for a week, jal

Manhonri, I'm just showing sprites and elements I've made for the game. This is just a simulation and the nebula will not be shown ingame like it is here. I had to work with my star BG loop and the nebula had to go that speed to work.

Great work!  The only thing that's bothering me is the horizontal movement of the nebula.  In space everything is so far away, that it would all pretty much be moving in the same direction and at the same speed in relation to the player.  And as an enemy, it would likely need to be close which would make it extremely huge.  Like light-years huge.  

But given the fact that it could be some other entity altogether, none of this may be relevent... 

this is really nice of you!

excellent work

less saturation please.

well i got the feeling from the boss. it really reminded me the player's HQ.

@Met, I have. This project is suposed to be Metriod-ish.

It gave me the feeling i was watching sprites from Herzog Zwei, have you heard about that game Jal?

@Kaiseto, Squirrelsquid has been over my shoulder while working on these. I miss him and hope he's back with us soon.

The colors here were supplied. The death animation is part code part explosions I did not make.

@Necroleachate, Yes the big ship holds four ships diagonally, good catch.

 wooow, amazing.

Very spiffy looking. I like the teleportation effect, espcially on the ship.

This could be a whole new direction for you. Glad to hear you've broken your creativity block.

Your Jalonso is evolving into Squirrelsquid! Press B to cancel.

All joking aside, kickass sprite work. The palette stands out to me in particular. There's just a really great spectrum from purples to greens to yellows.

Also, loving the destruction(?) animation.

Very good stuff.  Is the boss made of four ships placed diagonally facing it's center or it's just my mind?

Lovely ships, nice stars, amazing boss!

How you're going to make a light-years-wide nebula fit with them is another story...
