WIP Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush 3)

[OddieTheRock]

might as well update this thread with more things

For starters, the animation for getting a Star Piece has been completed (at least for Mario, Luigi's is partially done). It's not implemented in-game yet, so the video below is a mockup:


Second, I did some more spritework on various things:

First up, some tileset tests for the worlds:







Some walking W.I.Ps for the playable characters:



Note, Wario's walking and running animation were overhauled by @KrystalPhantasm.
The walking was based off WL4 while the running was based off WL Shake It, & I really enjoy how Krystal pulled it off


Some enemy and boss tests (there are more but I don't have them on me atm)





Plus here is this vector W.I.P of a boss from Paper Mario: The Well Crafted Journey, which is planned to be used in the "Unused Content" world:


I also did some experimenting with the main story characters to test if their speed and jump heights were fine; Spoiler alert, I probably need to do some more tweaking.

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Original release completed, Godot port underway), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (On hold), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (On hold))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, on hold)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (On hold)
Super Hilda DX (Development underway)

I am aware that all of this is very ambitious, for now I'm only working on two of these at infrequent intervals.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)
