Ikaros Extended
Poses and animations for surt's ikaros sprites.
Also includes set of 16x16 tiles packed from surt's original 8x8 ikaros tiles.
ikaros is one of my all time most favorite works on OpenGameArt.org,
and for the OGA's Summer 2018 Game Jam I plan to use it to finally
bring to life the game ikaros inspired in me all the way back when surt
first published it on OGA in 2015.
So here is my attempt to expand the sprite sheet by adding various
animations and poses that will be required to use it in a full game.
The 16x16 tilesheet is just because I prefer to program in 16x16 worlds, even though
some magic was definitely lost packing the tiles from the original 8x8s.
Currently, there's more scratch and rough work in the sheets than I'd
normally include in an OGA submission. For example, there are multiple
variations on the player windup and swing animation, that's because I had
a few ideas for how to handle the animation but won't know which works best
until I start actually making the game.
I promise to go back and update everything as I finish it. Releasing now
to be fair to others who might want to use the sprites for their
OGA's Summer 2018 Game Jam entries.
Sheets are:
player character (walk, jump, climb, crouch, hit, stone, plus windup/swing variations, and misc recolors and female prototype)
skeleton (walk, windup/swing/throw, hit, dead)
medusa (idle, walk, windup & shoot eye beams, hit, plus two walk/attack with bow variations, two die/dead variations, plust two recolors and an 'evil eye' variation)
tiles (surt's original 8x8 tiles packed into 16x6 tiles)
updates:
6/30/2018 - Full female set added. Player color variants added. Palette added.
Comments
While I have mixed feelings for surt and his style this does look good, I like the girl character!
i really like the character sprites here. size and animation wise it kind of reminds me more of zelda 2 for the nes than kid icarus, but the with the greek myth theme from kid icarus intact.
i personally love surt's nes and sms style tiles. incomplete and abandoned as some of them are, i would love to see more extended versions of them. i am not good enough at pixel art to do anything with them myself.
maybe i will win the lottery then i can commission some of the heavy hitters around here to work their pixel magic :p
