Mangaboo (Protagonist?)
Here is one of the characters for that Chess inspired GRID game. Most of my characters are original creations. Her sprite came out very pretty - I am very happy. It's adorable!!! And that's quite rare for me. And if anyone wonders where I got the name no it was not inspired by "Weeaboo" it was inspired by the Mangaboos in the Wizard of Oz. Manga being the name for a Japanese comic strip. Manga + Boo makes a really cute name. If anyone tries to steal it remember I did it first. The Wizard of Oz? It was Manga + Boos. So I more or less removed the "s" and I found a protagonist. I have no idea what personality I'll give her. I was hoping sweet or typical anime girl. Her outfit design was inspired by those 60s space costumes. Then again the Chess-like game will only feature "female" characters a few males but the majority will be female. And no I am not sexist I just stick to what I know best.
The idea came from Moekuri: Adorable + Tactical SRPG a game I brought. I thought to myself I can make a game just like it. The characters remind me of Paper Mario and don't move. And I thought to myself that I want to make something similar. But my first plan went upside down due to the engine not working as I'd thought it would. I won't give up I'll keep trying until I get to where I need to go. I'll try as many engines as possible and see if I can accomplish something. You see with my other idea it's simple and basic and I know the RPG engine off by heart but for some reason that RPG engine cannot handle larger sprites which makes my idea not come to light.
