(WIP) Strong version of Epicenter. This one is a (slow) antiair and can hit knocked down enemies. Screen shake-less version below.

Had some time to do more Aisha moves. This time it's her medium Epicenter special move, which causes a knockdown on nearby standing enemies. Screen shake-less version in the post below.

Wrestler Anjo is doing a jump kick against Odette the witch who is using a scarf deflection to defend herself.

I really should get a scanner someday.

I recently got an All Japan Puyo Association bulletin from March 1997, a few months after the release of Sun in arcades. In it the chairman of the association mentions that the latest Japanese national tournament had 20000 entrants.

For reference Evo 2025 had 8541 registered players.

WIP frame for the MISAGO mass production assault suit. The final line of defense for the corporate forces, a human piloted suit which can fly and attack with variety of projectile weapons.

I have been having a lot of fun with the combo system for Wendigo Blue. Check it out if you are interested in beat'em ups! (sorry for the audio delay)

Advanced a bit with the Lilith animation. Still has quite a bit to go yet.

Another sprite preview, this time for the second basic police enemy unit. This one focuses on kicks rather than punches, and in mixups rather than spacing.

#pixelart #gamedev
Enemy police unit, has armor in shoulders, chest and legs, has short hair and wears a miniskirt.

WIP lariat run loop animation for Aisha. Like Victoria's specials, the attack strength used changes the move's function, from combo ender, extender, crowd control or a feint. Will post these variations soon!

Hello, I'm Alias McDoe and I'm a pixel artist animator. I'm currently doing pixel art for *NDA* (can't wait for the announcement) and developing my own beat'em up/fighting game on the side.

Current discourse reminds me of this article I recently saw in Neo-Geo Freak 32 about an Asian promotional tour SNK did for the release of KOF '97 in Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta and Shanghai. A small glimpse of how important KOF was at that time for these places.
1997 promotional event for KOF'97 in Seoul, with large crowds of people and rows of arcade machines for a tournament. 1997 promotional event for KOF'97 in Hong Kong. Large crowds of people, long lines of people waiting, and what seems to be a musical show. Huge crowds and rows of arcade machines for a promotional KOF'97 tournament in Singapore, 1997. In the lower right photo we can see a 3D render of Nakoruru on a big screen, probably to promote Samurai Shodown 64? Events for KOF '97 in Jakarta (top half) and Shanghai (bottom half). Article mentions that Samurai Shodown was even more popular than KOF at the time, at least until this point when 97 was released and became a legendary game for China.

All of these are KOF'97 machines from an arcade in Shanghai. Taken in December '24 by heartia2 at twitter. Game was insanely huge in China, probably why SNK does so many collabs with games from there.

For the last post of 2024, here's a preview for how the sprite of this experimental unit will look. Hopefully will have it animated soon next year!

This enemy can teleport either herself or her individual limbs to attack from diverse angles and make defense more difficult.

#pixelart #gamedev
A red haired cyborg woman with a ponytail. Has mechanical limbs that can be detached from her main body and be teleported to attack independently from her. She appears to be in a floating pose.

(WIP) While Aisha doesn't have invincible antiairs like Victoria, her antiairs like this crouching hard normal can lead to devastating combos.

You have been knocked down and, as you get up, you see this coming at you.

What do you do?

TRX-90 far melee attack WIP. While these units prefer ranged attacks, they do have some limited melee capabilities.

TRX-90 backdash WIP. This enemy is rather weak at close range, so they prefer to keep a distance and attack with projectiles from far away.

TRX-90 walk. Can't wait to show some new animations next week.

This was the old design I made for Raijin. I thought she lacked something, and thanks to @koutetuyarou.bsky.social her lightning elemental powers and mobility were emphasized and her design now looks more special and worthy of main character status, I think.
