The slow crawl of converting old parts of the site to the new format continues with the Tips section, something that’s been part of the site since the beginning. It’s now part of the “Info Center” group on the site. Some tips were fixed, rewritten, or had screenshots added. It mostly looks the same for now, but I still have the goal of consolidating the coding and look of the site.

Game Index: Alisia Dragoon (Genesis), Street Fighter Alpha 3 (arcade), Undercover Cops (arcade)

Sprites: Alisia Dragoon (just the Stage start graphic

GFX Generators: added Street Fighter Alpha 3 stages (Cammy, Dan, Dhalsim, Rose) to the main fighter-size generators, X-Men:CotA-style added to Marvel vs. Capcom ending, and some other stuff I forgot that was in the mix of what I uploaded.


About a month ago, after “the Revenge of 1989” update in August, I had a bit of pain in my hand. Part of it is due to my day job, but I’ll bet that all the pixel art I’ve been doing (including the unseen stuff for unfinished projects) hasn’t helped. I slowed down a bit and started stretching my hands more, which helped, but my drawing hand still gets a little sore if I spend too much time spriting. I’m going keep taking it a bit easier for a while, but don’t think that means you’ll be safe in late October.

Finally, a day when Batman gets more attention than other characters! I dropped some Batman-related sprites in the Revenge of 1989 update, but I’ve got a couple more AND a sprite that finally finishes a beat ’em up crew!

DC Comics: Improved the “Blue and Gray” sprites of Batman, added a Dick Grayson teen Robin
Ninja Baseball Bat Man – Roger finally steps up to the plate and completes the playable team!

These sprites have been added to the fighting game-scale GFX Generator and Batman now has extra palettes.

One more thing: here’s a quick little animation of Batman I was working on. Still rough (esp. the cape), but far enough to show where it is now:


Bonus:

Here’s a video from the excellent Superhero VG Channel about what things were like when the Batman 1989 hit:
