More sprites coming soon.

Do you know The Rocky Horror Show game for Commodore 128 (not the C64 version)?

You can see the awesome characters animations here:

Can you try to make the standing front sprite of Janet to see how it looks?

I attach the game if you want to try it and take screenshots with Vice emulator.

How's this?

Excellent!

I prefer #3 with #2 central part.

Is it complicated to make a side animation (left or right)?

I had a funny feeling you'd choose that combination. I'll give the side animation a try. It'll have to wait until I'm at home(did these while I was at work *snicker*) and I'll start on it for ya.

Well those were fun, but I think I managed to capture the spirit of the animation.

 

WARNING! Educational tidbit ahead!

 

After capturing all of the side frames I laid them out in order, labeled them, put them on a matrix based on the sprites pixel size, and lined them up with the Still frame. Excuse the gaudy colors, I was in a hurry.

 

Still Frame + 8 Frame Animation -> 8 Frame Animation ->

Thank you very much.

Now I will insert the frames in a program to see the result.

Obviously I will post it.

You're right, it's not bad. I do find that some of the letters are difficult to make out though.

 

It's like doing a Timewarp... again.

My "not bad" was ironical.

Your animations are wonderful! You've done a terrific work converting Janet's sprites.

You have pressed fire button at titlescreen, don't you?

Er.. um yah... Yah I did...... no... No I didn't. I checked it out while I was too sleepy. My bad.

 

*presses fire*

 

Say, that does look really nice! Janet might be upset when she finds that her shoes don't go with everything anymore. hehe

Don't worry, nobody will be looking at her shoes. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy . . .

[+Philsan]

What about Magenta? How many frames?

VCS background color is black. Therefore I had to change Janet shoes color.

Magenta is 8 frames, with no still frame as far as I can find. She's animated nearly the same as Janet is.

Outstanding work, as usual!

Thank you very much. How's the programming side of things going? Are we going for a complete conversion of The Rocky Horror Show from the Commie 128, or a game based on it?

 

After watching a few videos, and listening to the music on Youtube; I gotta say the music is nice, but when it loops for more than 10 minutes - it's getting close to the hell that is the Ghostbusters game for nearly every early platform.(See Angry Video Game Nerds review on Youtube)

[+Philsan]

I will try to add Magenta to my previous demo.

My goal is to make a game for Atari VCS but I don't know if I'll have a lot of time in the coming months.

Regarding music, luckily it will be played only in titlescreen.

But I am looking forward to hear an outstanding music by diogoandrei.

Here is the new version with Magenta.

(many thanks to RevEng for big and little programming advices)

At title screen press fire button!

 

PAC-MAN-RED, could you please check if Magenta animation is OK or some little change should be made?

 

When sprites overlap, the effect is not very beautiful because of the outline design style.

I think it is not easy to ameliorate the situation.

Moreover, in the game the sprites should not always and entirely overlap like in the demo.

EDIT

 

I've revised the original posted Magenta sprite files to correct a modification to the color that I made to make the animated GIF. Added a No gap in the hair version as a separate download.
