This is really good so far! I've enjoyed my time with it, though I have to ask, do you intend on adding Usaco to the roster, or is that still after all of the Feature Parity work? I have no idea about the prior sprite work that was put into the original Mini so if there's no spritesheet for her I understand if it's a backburner thing
Unfortunately, Usaco is nowhere to be found in the assets, so I cannot add the funny bunny lady as a selectable character (and she's not in the original version so she wouldn't show up in the authentic original ver. anyways)
But yes! I want Usaco to fill the fourth slot on the character select screen, and leave the lower four for popular (in the genre) characters, like Luka (and maybe leaving one or two open for mods in the future. Would love to make characters really easy to mod in as an outsider unfamiliar with my code)
I just need an artist who can replicate the style of EWM...
