With the reboot of CaDan comes a request for characters to star in the official rebuild. A total of eight playable characters is possible in the selection screen, though I'm going to have to slim it down to three if I can't get anyone to provide stuff. I'm also requesting bosses and their information, of which there will be 6 main bosses and 6 mini bosses. Though I don't have the sprites with me, I'm also requesting a 32x32 portrait sprite and mask (I'll fill in the details if you don't want to do that part), and a corresponding 8x8 game play sprite.
So far, I have three player characters. One serious and two jokes.
1. DevBlock - The unfortunate test character in almost every one of my games. First featured in Fishy, and often mistaken for a puzzle piece from another unrelated game, he gets thrown into the CaDan universe, where he's totally clueless, as usual. His script tells him to be annoyed at everyone and fight anyone for any reason, so that there will be conflict, even if unjustified. The first boss tells him this right then and there.
2. Netham45 (pre-lobsterification) - Completely unaware of the new environment. Won't move unless fully focused with the task at hand, and tends to give everything he's got once that focus is there. Strange things are flying at him, so his natural response is to blast 'em out of the sky. Takes the form of a spork.
3. Netham45 (post-lobsterification) - The future of Netham45, his temperament has changed dramatically after becoming a blue lobster and becoming the proud owner of his own FISHTANK CITY. The enemies all claim that he owes them payments on some sort of mortgage that doesn't exist. This Netham wants these guys to "Produce the Note" and prove once and for all that these guys are frauds and they have absolutely no claim to his city / 50-foot-tall-giant-fighting-robot. Lobster-y type attacks ensure the enemy's demise.
So far, I have one boss character:
1. 404 Boss Not Found - The placeholder boss for the series. A repeat occurrence until all boss and miniboss slots are filled. Each time it appears, it'll let the players in on some of the details about the environment all the player characters are trapped in, and discuss the fact that they NEED to fight to please the gods of CaDan. Always have flimsy as hell excuses for fighting, but at least they're more real than any other excuse other bosses can come up with. They ought to be.
-------------
So, let's get creative here. I understand that Geekboy has already gathered a bit of information for his own edition of CaDan. I'm not trying to compete with that, but I do have permission from him to copy over some assets. What I want is verification that the appropriate owner of those assets provide that permission as well.
Uh. Wow. That was a little long.
-
sa far as I know Squidget said it was fine to use his sprites for w/e but yeah asking for permission again would probably be smart (Even though they are kinda going right back into the game they were made for :P)
Ill see what I can whip up boss wise and such why because I can >:F
-
Greyscale or monochrome?
-
Netham45 (pre-lobsterification)
Wat? He used to not be a lobster?
ANyway hopefully people can help you out on that stuff.
-
They need to be monochrome ^_^

You have my permission to include anything that I've ever posted/uploaded in relation to a CaDan game of any kind, including but not limited to my accidental swastika and that spiral-thingie.

I hope ticalc visitors won't flag the game for doing nazi promotion, though... <_<

Long as its shoved some where in the depths of the bullet hell it should be ok :P
/me hides

You mean, some place in the game where it's almost a guarantee that any normal ticalc reviewer would never be able to reach? Like the Extra stage?
-
Feel free to use mine :)
-
i don't even remember if i posted any, but if i did, you are free to use them

Maybe >.> <.<

The Iron Vixen -- a very small and quick enemy that can evade bullets with ease, but isn't able to shoot many of its own.
-
Same for me, feel free to use every sprite I have ever created. Maybe. Including but not limited to 16x16px renditions of my face.
-
that balrog boss sprite i made is fair game, and i'll see if i can whip up something more space ship-like.
-
You know, there's like four or three slots left open for the CaDan character selection.
These slots do *not* include bosses. We'll be either making our own or calling for that in a separate thread.
-
I made this one for geekboy:

Is this the kind of thing you are looking for? I offered it as a boss sprite for his, but I really don't mind either way XD
-
We kinda need sprites of both portrait, and on-field types. Also, in order to write up a story blurb for each, we also would like some background information about your character. This *is* sorta an RPG wrapped up shooter-style.
-
hmm, okay. Is this an onfield sprite? (http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h438/Xeda112358/8x8BossSprite.jpg)
And as for a story, I don't know ._. I see this guy as a part of a brute race that is constantly involved in war. Because of this, it has some pretty good physical strength and can somewhat use tools. This is one of the smarter individuals of its race and may be a leader of some kind. Um, is there some kind of writing guide to this stuff?

yes that is a onfield sprite
and nope that was about perfect. unless you have any specifics on what you would like there story to be like then really all we need is a personality and attributes and we will construct our own plot revolving around those ^_^

Remember guys. We're going for art! Or ... uhm. Something.
A character's personality influences the type of spellcards he/she/it has.

Okay, thanks, because I don't have any creative bones left in my body to come up with more ._.
