I'm currently sorting out a budget for a long-term hobby project of mine and am curious about having a character concept translated into a sprite. The game is a platformer with a Gameboy visual aesthetic style, along the lines of Wario Land and Super Mario Land 2. The basics of the sprite itself would have to fall within this scope:
- 4 Color Palette (Green Gameboy Palette, I can provide an Aesprite palette file if needed!)
- 16x32 Sprite Size in-engine
- The actual character should fall closer to 16x24 or 16x28, leaving a little space overhead
- 2-4 Frames at most for any given animation with the following planned so far (we can just start with Idle + Walk for now, if that works):
- Idle (2-4 Frames)
- Walk (3-4 Frames)
- Run (3-4 Frames)
- Jump (2-3 Frames)
- Fall (1-2 Frames)
- Damage (1-2 Frames)
- Death (Static Frame)
I'm currently just trying to sort out the costs right now and would be budgeting for a July arrangement (or later, depending on costs). I would NOT expect work before an agreement is made on scope, cost, etc. I would be looking to work with the same artist over time on other characters, enemies, tilesets, etc. Each of those would be discussed over time.
Concept art for the character is below, as well as general test images of the engine as-is so far so you can see the general feel I am going for. Feel free to reach out to me via ashlay@cozycafe.org with any questions! I do check on here, as well, but am relatively new to anything more than solo hobby dev, so I can tend to forget hopping onto socials and Itch for a while, so please be patient with me!


Sue took everything from me! I could beat her at minigames, but she stole every coin and star I got my hands on, then the other CPUs would just give to her through Chance squares. She mocked me every round as divine power just gave and gave to her.
Loved every moment, the minigames were tons of fun! 10/10 would definitely play again!
