"Lizard and lizards" beat-em-up minigame

I'm working on suit thugs with a couple of different sprites and also a burglar sheet and eventually turning the thugs from PS1 so game in to sprites but it's going to take some time

Could I have the alph of shaw

man, you would have to ask Dev about it
i did coding work using his publicly shared sprites where he also explicitly said people free to use them, yes
but it is also his character, and i think he plans to finish him, and since he didnt choose to upload this alpha himself, i dont think its my place to do it

if he wants to do a full char release, i dont want to spoil it by leaking this alpha
but if he doesnt want to finish it, im pretty sure he will share it himself for people to finish

Did you send the alpha to dev he already told me to do what I can to finish him because he's done with him

This conversation should be kept private in my opinion, I think Dev is reachable via discord. And BP reachable via mmv pm.

Anyways with Lizard and Kraven on the way your game will have complete dream game. Unless if more good quality chars come Then your game will expand and expand.

well, no problem guys, i sent alpha to Dev long ago, and just resend it today, in case he lost it. but yeah, we could keep it private
i actually contacted Dev, in case he is really completely done with it, to possibly make it available for the public, but its his decision, not mine, sorry, we would have to wait for his reply

and personally, im just really waiting for kraven

but its a community game guys, mine are screenpack, shocker sprites, doc ock, few stages and updates, so anyone can expand it with any characters they feel like, im just picking out the ones i like for myself to use (thats why im not adding spider-woman for example, even though she is magnificently done, better than many characters that are included, but im just not interested in some stuff, no matter how good it is). the current select screen is also really filled to the brim already, there is probably space only for 1 full character left

i only will ever consider morbius, hydroman, chameleon, lizard, the rest of the villains are just secondary in my opinion, not matter how good they are done. and chameleon already used in some cameos, lizard will be a minigame, hydroman is pretty similar to sandman and current version needs more work to feel complete, so it will be morbius guys (and kraven obviously, who has a spot reserved since the beggining). and i will upload sort of patched version today guys. it has bugfixes, screenpack update, not many new things, but im not in the mood for this mugen much lately, so i will put it on hiatus, until new stuff like morbius update or kraven comes out

hey guys lizard minigame is going well enough, i dont particularly like the size of him, he is turning out smaller than rhino or venom, but oh well, what can you do. at least he is buff

Spoiler:

but i do need help with few head edits ive been struggling with

for the most part default head position fits the sprites good enough
there are just a few sprites that really need a different head. i only made those pretty subpar edits made from default head by JEDDragon (included on the right). maybe someone who is good with head edits can lend me a hand here, for diagonal body position and for horizontal body position:

or maybe to point me to the right capcom shaded character base which has similar shape/size of the head that can be edited for the use in those sprites

John talbin would be best I think

Jon Talbain might help you draw the heads you need.
Ps: sprites look beautiful man. Don't worry about the size. This is the best Lizard we ever seen so far.

made some progress on the horizontal one, thanks to jon talbain jaw
good call guys
i thought his head is too small, so didnt even properly looked at it
his lower jaws are good

still could use some work, if someone is up to it
and diagonal one - didnt find good option yet

ps. and thanks Dev, smaller size just was unpleasant surprise, somehow in the back of my head i was expecting him to be closer to tiger height, despite leg replacement

but it is the best and maybe only base option, unless i would want to draw all torn clothes by hand, so no regrets, just moving forward with what we have in any case

pps. made it shorter by 1 pixel:

You could try Killer Croc or Hulk2099

looking good

eh, thanks, but dont think it will fit, even though they are all green lizard-like people, none of them has extended lizard face

Awesome Lizard!

Looking real good

Question: If you find him smaller than what you wanted him to be, why not just increase his x and y size in main code?

thanks man

eh, i tried it, but that scale parameter distorts the quality somewhat
lines become crooked, double-pixeled, some pixels disappear, etc. maybe its not that apparent at first, but if you put the same character, one version upscaled and other 1:1 right next to each other, the difference is pretty noticeable
just doesnt work good on capcom shaded characters imo (works perfectly on mk classic characters though). but in any case, this option is always available

but to more good news, all required sprites are actually done, both lizard and minions, only thing that missing are toenails on lizard sprites (still looking for maybe a better base? for now using Tyrog from dinnosuars and cadillacs, if anyone has ideas, please share), and intro animation (turning from connors)

for connors i guess i will have to use the same character most hulk authors already used for banners:

overused, but just fits very well, espcially since the arm could be removed easily

ps. recolored, copied cody head, and widened legs:
