For those who dont get it:

Murdoc = Crossbow : Crossbow is known as being a bum for his combination of luck based aim and an ability (more arrow damage) that does not help that aim at all unlike bow, (more arrows); and since hes green and a bum he fits best for murdoc

Russel = Club : Club wields a club and drumsticks are basically musical clubs since you use them to hit a percussion instrument + bonus points for being the same color (this is a joke, i am also a person of color, i can make this joke)

2-D = Scroll : Scroll is not only blue like 2-D but also is the only ball to have a more profesional understanding of words as she uses letters to attack, making her fit for being the vocalist.

Noodle = Katana : i genuenly had no good pick for noodle and as such had it between lance or katana, and i chose katana because katanas are japanese like noodle so it fit better.

Del = Chair : so this is a bit complicated, chair was not an actual ball but instead a proposed fan-made ball, and its mechanic was stunning the enemy, but this mechanic was taken by the later released cannon ball: Club. And once club's release, the fans realized it was now virtually impossible to logically have Chair in the game as-is after the release of club due to the similarity of their mechanic, ergo chair thus far is "Dead" and also related to club and also can do the cap bit since i draw club with a baseball cap.

The rappers in Feel good inc = The 3 ones in the back of the feel good inc one : those are Slammy, Duplicator and Orbital, the three prime examples of the phenomenon of Block breakers going for the game wehre theyre balanced for breaking blocks with upwards of 10000 health and scale from bouncing off walls to a gamemode where balls are balanced around fighting opponents with 100 health and scale from actually hitting the opponent instead of bouncing of walls which happens much less often than just bouncing off a wall so for example slammy who gets more damage off of bouncing is much stronger than its equivalent: sword, which only gets more damage from actually HITTING the opponent. They (except for dupe nowadays cuz he already got crippled to death by lance), like the rappers basically have the Weaponballs on their reins because of how unbalanced they are on weaponballs compared to their native gamemode.

AS I SAID LAST POST

Del is Chair (because dead) and Noodle is Katana (because japanese)

Crossbow is murdoc because who else is also a bum and green

Scroll is 2D because shes also the only one that uses words and also she also probably has blue hair like in the image

Club is russel because drumsticks are like musical clubs

The Hitlerbreaker gang (Slammy, Dupe, Orbital) is the rappers because you know, hitler.

if youre asking, Noodle is either Katana or Lance and Del is Chair

Literally what

i want to be clear here: I cant be completely accurate for the sake of game balance, for example if jupiter was the same size ratio to earth as it is in real life it would cover the entire screen and possibly straight up be just simply way too big for the size of the screen as a whole, and saturn would be too. And i think the best way to think about it is to understand that A. ALL of the planets are not meant to be to scale with ALL of the planets, Group Red (The Inner planets and the moon) are meant to be to scale with eachother, Group Yellow (Saturn and Jupiter) are meant to be to scale with eachother, Group Blue (Uranus and Neptune) are meant to be to scale with eachother, The sun is NOT meant to be to scale with anything, the only basis it has is being bigger than jupiter. B. These innacuracies, while painful as someone who was a big nerd growing up, are necesary for game design because again, Jupiter can be only so big until unfair to try to avoid, this also goes for the sun and saturn, I also cant make the inner planets too small because they would be too hard to spot and it would be also be unfair because you could not see them in order to avoid them, so they ALL have to be within a safe size ratio for the sake of game design. Theyre more meant to be close to planet diagrams.

also, i would appreciate if i could also get appreciation for my art on the planets, ratios aside. (second image so you can see them so you can look at what they looked like before i bitcrushed them to hell) because i am really proud of how uranus, the sun and jupiter turned out. Btw they will not looked bitcrushed in game because i will scale them in engine to fit this size plan.

lastly for those confused: the reason saturn has an asset of it turned on its side its becaus in the game it does a little saw attack where it spins and speeds up like a spindash. uranus doesnt do this because if it did it'd feel repetitive, im thinking something relating to the spear on its symbol or with the whole god of the sky thing but i decided to make Saturn have the ring related attack considering saturn has a bigger and more noticeable ring so its more of a Saturn thing although uranus does have a ring too, plus uranus is less ring centric than saturn considering for a while we couldn't see the rings for a big while becasue we didnt have the technology.

thanks for the tips on the previous posts :)

So like, these are for a game, and are based on more like, space diagrams and stuff, and i thought the moon was like the wrong size but apparently it does have an appropriate size ratio to mars and mercury, maybe its the earth (and venus by proxy) that are way too small?

otherwise im really proud of the texturing on the sun, jupiter and uranus I think thats some of the best stuff i've done in a 3d program

edit: Am correcting the size ratios of the outer planets but I do have to state that upon review jupiter and saturn will be a tad bit downsized so they can fit on the screen without taking too much space from the screen because in short you have to dodge most of the planets and this includes jupiter and saturn, specially saturn which does a saw attack where it basically spindashes at you; and if jupiter and saturn were the same ratio to earth irl they would take the entire screen. BUT i WILL fix the ratios on uranus and neptune, i had the notion uranus was a little bit smaller. I will also be downsizing mercury, the moon, and mars to make them a lil bit more accurate, with their ratio to earth (and venus) , the sun will not be changed at all for the same reasons im not making jupiter size accurate to earth.

I will be putting the correction in a comment. but PLEASE understand that as much as i am a nerd i cannot have jupiter and saturn cover THE ENTIRE SCREEN for the sake of correct ratios because that would be bad game design.

lastly, just to be clear, while i do believe this is easy to understand visually JUST IN CASE the planet under saturn is NOT another planet, its just saturn turned on its side / from the top (this is because saturn has to do a spin attack like a saw)

edit 2: putting the correction in another post

HAVE THIS ONE IN RETURN PLEASE

I then proceeded to win this run and get a gamebreak the next run​​

I just finished programming all 5 new characters for the roster, now gotta do the bosses voicelines and music, BY THE WAY, Speedy's theme is going to be straight up In the hall of the mountain king. Straight up. The Voicelines for Slammy are already done

Changed the naming scheme for the balls, adding like a title instead of a honorific. So i wont run out of honorifics to use, and its like more readable.

added the respective dice enemies for the new roster

got like 6 of the 10 bosses so far basically fully voice acted in like an hour.

I MADE THIS IN A CAVE WITH SCRATCH SPRITE MAKER

2 of these are my goats on their respective home turf, but Unarmed? is just kinda there cuz jk, charger theme. Also if youre wondering why i put Dooey instead of Buckley its because theres like 5 chargers in Hamvangolio and Dooey is just my favorite one.
