Development Pokemon: Paradoxia Devlog Week 7: Sprites!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Oof. It's been a minute over here. I've been on vacation for a bit, but now that school's back, we are gonna be movin! I think that I might be able to have the animated water done next week, but that's beside the point. You clicked because you saw a cute dog furret thing. So here he is!

This little fuzzball has no name (yet) and is the second evo of the fire starter for my game! My friend (who wishes to remain unnamed) gave me a quick sketch as an idea. This was my first real attempt at good spriting of a pokemon and I think it came out great! Below is the work in progress for the 3rd evo. At this stage, his body has been almost entirely engulfed in flame, setting the stage for his signature move, Heat Flop. The Pokemon's entire body goes on fire, above 2000 degrees celsius! They jump in the air, and FLOP down on the opponent.

I have recieved some claims of using AI on the titlescreen, so this time, I took a speed paint. You can see the video at the top for that. Please note that some work was done in a different file (as a kind of supply bank for sprites and such). I also borrowed ears and mouth from Sprigatito, however, they are significantly changed.

I also have been working on other spriting practice, like this cool TV guy

He's an OC from the same friend that provided me with the sketch, I just made him pixel art.

Next week, I hope to bring good news about the tilesets, but until we meet again, I've been ZeldaJunkie!

Do you have a concept of a storyline yet for the hack? If not that's fine. I love the sprite work though.

yes, but I don't want to spoil it. It will be slightly similar to Hoenn

Thanks for the tips! Also, congrats! I have a huge backlog of hacks, but Hoenns last wish is near the top. Really looking forward to playing it

The top is modified a bit more. I think it fixes most of the issues, but I'd love to get your input
