Super Dead Space Gunner Merc Redux: Platform Shmup Hero
UPDATE: Now with a far superior (though still far from perfect) 12-frame run cycle! As with the prior update, the full sheets have not been rebuilt, so the new animation is only in char-parts.png and you'll have to build the full frames yourself. The running-and-shooting demo GIF still shows the oldest, 4-frame run cycle, and probably always will!
Presenting my spacier version of surt's Space Merc. This gun toting armoured space person can aim in 48 directions while running.
Also includes weapon fx and collectible/power ups.

Awesome! Glad to see the set expanded! :)
ooooooooooow , it's i needed ,very tankyou
lol i painstakingly tried doing animations and modifications to space merc myself before i discovered that someone did all the work for me :)
and it didn't turn out even 10% as good as yours. d'oh!
i'll be using your version with my colors when i get back around to viroid planet.
Great work, i used lots of your sprites in a shoot-em-up prototype, hope you'll like it:

@ced30 It looks cool! Very arcadey! I couldn't play it with those controls though.
Technically you should put a link back to the OGA sources in there somewhere, in order to keep to the terms of the license.
Updated the page to link to here :)
Got inspired to make an OGA Sarah version.
After I finally noticed zwonky's comment, it inspired me to add some different colour schemes for the character, and try to make it easier to recolour.
For my own amusement, and because I haven't found time lately to work on anything much new, I brought the final boss of Turrican 2 into the Super Dead Space Merc art set. No license for this guy, obviously. He's only visiting to take part in a mockup. All the other assets in this image are from other subs in the series.
MUITO BOM
Hey, all your work is amazing, it would be great if you did more different animations of the body and hands so that we could give him something like pistols, grenade launchers, etc., but of course it depends on you.
Quick Super Dead Merc edition of Jerom's awesome boss ship.

Hey, currently making game with these. It's in very beta though. Thank you very much for the assets!
