Like the sprite sheet I sent you about that jumping dude, the middle animation is for when he is in the air and about to go down. It creates a good transition from going up and then going down.

I'm sure it'll look much less awkward if I add that. I may add two jump animations though; one if I'm moving forward, one if I'm standing still. Reason being, I have a pose that I like, but might not look good if I'm just going up. That might make a transitionary animation more difficult, but I won't know unless I try.
So, I got bored of drawing and worked on my game space a bit. I got rid of the public domain background and created my own. There's a space background that was surprisingly difficult to get working, and then a transparent water background. Because the planet's light source is in its center, the water gets brighter as you go deeper. The effect is neater than I imagined.
Of course all the animations are added as well, so it's a good way to see them in action.

Now I gotta see if I can recreate that castle Qoxolg drew for me!
... Does anyone know a good program to use for drawing geometric shapes? My usual technique of drawing one pixel at a time doesn't work with big things.

I would do it in Photoshop.
you could either start with a painting and then down-size it nearest neighbor and then clean up. Though you probably don’t have a tablet.
you can also directly start with pixels and simply use the rectangle selection and then keep filling up the selected areas.
As Q said, it'll be kinda hard without a tablet the paint such a thing. But how about creating assets, like small tiles? And then assemble them to create a whole structure?
Like leggos! Yeah, anything so that I don't have to develop a steady hand. Especially if I can express things mathematically.
You can create:
- 1 spike.
- 1 set of windows.
- 1 tile of a pillar.
Then play around with these 3 (or more) assets to create your castle.
That'll certainly be more fun than what I had in mind originally
I don't know if it's because I haven't added the fluff yet, but it doesn't look quite right.
Depends on which frame we are looking at
It's the general frame for the upward movement during a jump.
Looking at it in game, it's too extreme for a general jump. I may move it to be a sprint jump or a wall jump, and try again at a 20* angle instead of 45*.
