Here's a little animated caterpillar, he's (hopefully) going to be an enemy in Tilly's Rose Garden. I wanted to make the game more lively so I'm trying to animate stuff. He'll fit nicely with my butterfly and my bee as animated bugs....This took me about...1.25 hours to make (if you include little sketches in my sketch book to try and guess how it would look). My mother likes bugs and stuff so she helped me a little as a reference. xD
In game he'll be like 1/4th the size (I'll resize him in gamemaker) so if the detail looks a little underdone with coloring or whatever that's okay because he'll be so small it would have made him blurry anyways.

Okey, here he is! I picked out red because that seems to be an obvious enemy color and made him spikey to make him more enemy like and not so adorable.




If he looks weird feel free to say so! xd

Looks pretty good to me! Frame rate seems fast, but maybe he's had some coffee?

Had some coffee....Lol....
In the game he'll be slower.

Pretty cool looking worm.

I love it. I'm wondering if he had some chomping teeth if he'd look more evil. Really nice job though.

Yes, slower would be better but you've got that under control.

Haha, thanks!

Some older games used to have animations that would play if you didn't touch the controls for a while (e.g. Commander Keen would pull out a book and read, or moon you in the temple). I think the worm should look at the "camera" and flash a toothy grin if the player doesn't move.

Lost of vertical wiggle, but no forward movement Moko. lol

I do like it though.

moko: it looks nice and would probably do good in actual game size. i think it stretches out and pulls together very nicely, it looks natural.

i'm glad it's a caterpillar or worm and not some other kind of creepy-crawly! i can just about stand caterpillars. well, i can stand them as long as they don't get into my bathrooom and attack me there, that is.

I don't have any idea how to do that, but it would be funny. xD



Well, in the game he moves back and forth so it would make more sense...unless I'm missing what you're talking about. xD





I don't like bugs either, but since we're in a garden I have to come up with something!
I don't think a caterpillar will attack you in the bathroom! A spider might...not a caterpillar!

@Moko
Good motion, Moko.
Just one thing: I swapped Frames 1 and 2 to get a smoother flow ..I don't know whether the same will apply in your game ..just seems a little out of sequence.

LOL you made him go pro. Nice! xD

Looking forward to your game.

Who could forget in the way guy?

!

I'm hoping it's funner than the other ones. I'm putting a lot of aesthetic changes like this with animation and also some minor gameplay changes, hopefully that'll make it more interesting.
