Quote:I'd also like to throw out that it's marginally easier to make a sprite sheet out of a character once you've made a solid base. One nice-looking sprite taking 30 minutes doesn't necessarily mean that every frame will take 30 minutes to look nice, since you already have solid reference material to go off of.You have a point there. Didn't think about that.
Quote:I actually offered to sprite for the game and he said he would rather get better at spriting and do all the spriting himself.You know, I didn't post about the game here to scout for sprite artists, I posted about it to get it played.
And I'm not saying that I don't liked the sprites you made, it's just that... I have a emotional bond to the sprites I've made (let's leave the tileset and the backgrounds out of this sentence, because I agree that they are sloppy and awful, respectively), I want them to be a certain style, and I want to say by the end of the day: "I made this game.".
...So I guess I just don't like giving credit ; )
By the way, the game has around 400 (multi-image) sprites ranging from 4x4 pixels (Digger debris) to 256x408 (Final boss' 5th form), 38 backgrounds, and a tileset of around 220 different tiles. Redrawing all that would take aeons and be quite tedious, so I wouldn't really recommend anyone to offer to do that.
