We tried, lol

Don't worry, though. Handmade Melee will bring you guys back that ClayFighter spirit you've all been craving 😀
All this for the very last ClayFighter entry to date.

If Interplay is smart, they’d give it to indie developers and revive this with bigger and better claymation technology.

Visual evolution of Miss Merizing!

She's gone through so many designs it's wild, isn't it? During early production, she was going to be more complex; however we went back after deciding she would be the face of #HandmadeMelee!

A little look into our animation references! Our animator @wachinemachine.bsky.social puts these together, and them uses these as a visual guide for the final product. Here's a small example of that using Miss Merizing's idle.

Here is an early look at an animation of Slamu's idle animation! One really sick detail you will notice for all Fighters is that you'll notice the models will have differing imprints as if they were made by hand in every frame!

This next post is quite an emotional ride to me. Seeing that Enigma is expected for Handmade Melee, I suppose I should tell his story.

Enigma was my childhood creation and the first thing I ever drew. For a long time, I have wanted him in a project of mine, and he finally got his chance in HMM.

We recently had a poll on Discord regarding 3rd Party Guests, and we'd love to hear from you guys, which of these characters you would like to see! (That is if we even can, that is! No promises!)
