I haven’t had time to mess with Guardian Spirits of much lately, regrettably, and on top of that some shit happened at work that lead to my sprites’ original copies at work getting lost. (Naturally, I made backups, though I’m considering redrawing some of em anyway.) In the meantime when not working on well, working, I’ve been browsing some tips on animation and spriting. Right now, I’m focusing on shooter-stage graphics and hopefully being able to set up a demo of one of those segments by the fall.

And as always, I’m being tempted by the urge to nuke it all and refocus it as something less transparently, shall we say, ‘inspired?’ I like the main character, at the least, but something smaller-scale would probably be more reasonable for the time being. (Space police springs to mind right away, or maybe even something fantasy based. Or heck- what about a Revolver Knight game?)

I’ll post some of the doodles I had whenever I get around to scanning ’em of “sheriff” Miriya.

(Another, and more than likely lawsuit-inspiring game idea I had would involve a cyberspace world where a pair of special agents, Norton and McAffee hunt down viruses. Whee!)
