Forum >> The Comic >> Koopa Troopas!

The Make-A-Comic page now has Koopa Troopas! Along with pipes and a couple of other sprites I thought should be added.

Where's the koopas' other frames of movement? You know, the moving sprites you always use in your comic.

{insert witty sig here}

You're only missing 2 which I feel are completely pointless in having. I'll add them if the majority really wants them, but there are much better sprites that should be added first.

Something weird happened in this topic. I posted the same message twice! How? I didn't. Did someone figure out my password?!

{insert witty sig here}

Yay!!! Koopa Troopas!!! Whoohoo!!! *Cheers*

Much easier for my comics!!!

Yes, your password was ******.


(Just kidding)

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

You probably accidentally hit the reload/refresh or back/previous buttons on your browser. This can cause a double post if done while or right after posting.

Added piranha plants and a few other.

I have a suggestion! Add the castles!

{insert witty sig here}

Hey! I noticed that you fixed some text flaws, and also included a dot under the "?"

I bet nobody else noticed that...

Castles, and a flag!!!

(You also may want to consider creating a scroll option when you open up the sprites, because it seems more and more things are coming!

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

Brilliant idea for the srolling bar, Shadic. Oh, we might need the bullet bills one day.

{insert witty sig here}

Yeah, bullet bills, along with the option to change the pallete to make mario into luigi, and large mario into large luigi and fire mario/luigi.

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

What about the cloud platforms, the beanstalks, the water, the lava, the bridge, cheep cheeps, etc. etc.?

{insert witty sig here}

I believe that those can come a little later.

But how will water be put in?

You can't make the whole back just blue, because... there is a surface to it.... *Thinks*

Maybe a fully blue square?

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

I'll add castles when I feel like redrawing them in flash (all those bricks are evil!). I doubt it's gonna need a scroll menu because there actually isn't too much left to add. Bullet bills will come eventually, you'll just have to wait. There will never be a palette change option because of Flash's performance when it comes to things like that. Clouds probably won't be added being they're not even used in the comic. Beanstalks, water, lava, etc... will be added eventually. Water will be done the same as land is. The background will be blue but you'll have a long sprite you can put at the top to make the waves.

Hope that answers all your questions.

*Frowns* :( That'd make comics involving the surface impossible!

Theres also the other running sprites, Mario's "Dying" sprite, swimming sprites, fire Mario/Luigi sprites, all of those sprites FOR Luigi, Link swinging a sword up and down, possibly him using a bow and arrow, and hopefully some bomb sprites?

Sorry for that, theres just so much possiblity for this!

And could you possibly have a rotation thing? Because in my comics (Submitting now) I had to butcher mine alot in paint.

*Shrugs* Jeez I'm a pain. :P

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

I'm trying to stick with the sprites that are going to be in the comic, not every sprite.

In SMB the water doesn't go higher then the surface but I'll think about other ideas.

Mario Dying - doubt it will be added.
Mario Swimming - I haven't even ripped it yet.
Fire Mario - ditto - no fireflower yet either.
Luigi - maybe, but he's not even in the comic yet, if ever.
Link Up/Down - No.
Bow/Arrow - Not sure.
Bomb - Maybe next update.
No rotation - sprites don't rotate on the NES (or SNES or any other system).

Who cares if they dont rotate?
Do it anyway.

The time has come... Onward to victory!

Could you accept custom sprites? Because, I'm quite skilled with Adventure of Link sprites (Made over 5X the original amount of sprites, including swordless, and with a bow. :D) and would like to attempt some LoZ.

I could make a swinging upwards sprite, good for if Link actually acts smart and sees something coming.

*Shrugs* You may not want 'em though.

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

I'm also an expert custom sprite maker. I COULD send you some. If you want. I could maybe create a "Mario holding <insert thing here>" sprite for you.

{insert witty sig here}

I care and I'm the one making it.


I really think Link and Friends stands out from other sprite comics because we don't do things like:
Custom/Recolored Sprites.
Authors.
Pretty Effects (explosions that last the entire strip for example).
Bringing in other characters (like 10 different games rolled into one comic just to see them fight each other) -- although there are plans to maybe bring in another game character just for the Koopa/Zelda side-story.

And we also take time making sure everything is right (played a LOT of SMB making this comic). So far there have only been 2 screw ups (aside from artistic corrections like giving Zelda black eyes instead of transparent like the game really had).

Anyway, adding custom sprites, or doing things the original games didn't would just go against trying to make this comic as accurate as possible. We actually do lots of research for everything in this comic to make sure it's correct and not something from our imaginations. I wouldn't want to see all this work to be true to the games go to waste.

Sorry.

Yeah, that's why I was doubting the fact that even if I did do one, it would be put up.

So, no problem, I understand that..

My comic just has pretty explosions, and I needed an 8bit Gannondorf, so I got one. :P
