I’m kicking off this year with a couple of beat ’em up series that didn’t get much attention here last year, and that’s by accident.
Custom Sprites: Those two series now have their own galleries:
– Rushing Beat: new scratch-made sprites of Rick Norton, Douglas Bild, Wendy Milan, Lord J, Dieter/Iceman and some drones from the first two Rushing Beat games start this gallery off on the good foot.
– Crime Fighters: new scratch-made sprites of Blood and Boomer replace their old Capcom-based sprite edits, and so do new sprites of a Vendetta/Crime Fighters 2 thug.
All of that has been added to the main GFX Generator, along with a new (and more accurate) version of the X-Men Vs. Screen. There are now options to choose the stage display, including one that isn’t in CotA.
A generator just for that game will be added in an X-Men-centric update later this year.
As of last week (and I was told the day before our last day there), I don’t have a regular account for my day job (though I got some fill-in hours here and there), so I’m running a sale on prints in the shop until things get better. 8×10/8.5×11 prints are $5 and the 11 x 17 and 11 x 14 prints are only $8! That’s for the line art and pixel art prints, including the non game-related prints in the Illmosis shop (where you’ll find more prints).
That’s a big update, but it feels like it’s missing something… or someone. Maybe he’ll show up later…
edit: Guess who showed up to the update?
added to the Movie gallery and GFX Generator.
