NJ's WIPS Revived (Bandit Keith and Moon repair project)

[NapoleonJonamite]

Well, despite all the setbacks I have had, I'm going to try to get back to Bandit Keith. Hopefully if things go smoothly, he should be released sometime next year.

In addition, I am working on editing another one of poshpsylocke's Sailor Scouts. Who is it this time? Well... Ah, just look at the screenshot.

With a new scout edit comes the need for new portraits, new palettes, and new FX (I already have a person to contact for this).

Oh, and not like anyone cares really, but all my works will not have AI, so yeah.

Bandit Keith: I will have no AI....... In America.

Tell me, can I see a pic of Bandit Keith?

Tell me, can I see a pic of Bandit Keith?

Unfortunately no. Since his sprites are still being made (Basically I'm reworking my original sprites from over a year ago) and stuff, I can't really give a screenshot. Sorry to disappoint.

Ohhhh...OK...In America

[Enso]

Shame on a person who's so greedy on not sharing it especially when it says "In America" only.

Hey if I have nothing, then I can't share anything. Simple fact.

Update type thing, I guess.

Just got back to working on Moon as I have been busy moving from one state to another. Anyway, this is an idea that concerns all scouts I release. I have been considering giving them match over winscreens like Fervicante did with his B. Jenet (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, view the image in the spoiler).

First thing's first, I would like some feedback on the idea before implementation. Also, since I have a fear of making the scouts seem out of character with winquotes, if the idea does get passed, I'm going to be requesting winquotes for each of the scouts when they are being worked on (Moon is the only real WIP at this point, while Mars and Jupiter were already released). Oh yeah, I'm also hoping that maybe I can get some decent elements for the winscreen that would work for the scouts (Portraits, Sailor Moon logo, maybe some bars with a fitting design instead of just plain black, etc.).

That's pretty much all I have at this point as I'm still settling in to my new place.

Well, I have been considering replacing one of Moon's supers with something different after finding some animation frames in her AIR file that apparently were meant for a super that was never implemented, but now am not sure. Along with that, I don't know which of her supers to keep and which to remove. From where I'm at now, Moon has had her Gorgeous Meditation super changed from multiple projectiles to a beam, and sped up animation frames for the super version of Spiral Heart Attack. I'm almost curious if releasing a beta of the edit would help with figuring out how much is too much.

In addition, I'm looking to implement a new hyper background for when the hyper portrait comes up, like how Mars has the flames going on behind hers and Jupiter has a lightning effect behind hers (Jupiter's hasn't been implemented yet, but will in the next update). Something fitting, yet I so far have no ideas on this one. Suggestions/providers (Those who provide are credited)? Please throw some ideas on this out, I can't do everything myself here.
