A sneak peek of what I'm working on.

Hello, this is just a video of a player I'm working on. It's not quite complete yet, there are still a few graphics issues to fix, but they're very minor.

Interesting work so far. It's not very usual to see such a big and expressive character sprite! All the moves you can do are also very interesting, and it'll be really cool to see the teleport move incorporated into a hack with proper level design to utilize it.

I think that the cape SFX might be a bad choice for the energy charging move. It happens too frequently for a sound that was only meant to be heard once in a while, but otherwise it's really promising to see where this goes.

Other Submissions of mine!

Hold B to fly and release B to fall. Press A to teleport. If you hold A, you'll be in limbo for as long as A is held down or after a certain amount of time passes. Press Y to shoot. You can hold Y to charge power and release to fire. If you hold down while in the air, you'll fast fall. If you touch the ground while fast falling, the Yellow Yoshi Stomp effect will activate. If you touch the ground while fast falling and fully charged, the Cape Smash effect will activate.

However, that's only Princess Luna's move set. I plan for the game to have 10 playable characters, each with their own abilities. Only Earth Ponies will be able to jump on enemies and pound the ground, only Pegasus Ponies will be able to fly, and only Unicorns will be able to teleport. However, Princess Luna is an Alicorn and has enhanced versions of the abilities of all 3 pony types. I actually plan for each level to have 3 different routes through them, one for each pony type.


What would you suggest?

Very interesting moveset so far, I could see some pretty fun level setups with these already and that's with just one of the ten planned characters! Luna having all the moves while other characters have only certain moves seems like it'd be a difficult dynamic to balance, I'm curious to see how you accomplish this as you move forward.

Finalized Princess Luna. I just fixed a few minor issues.
