Working on Gary's car. Anyone has front facing car example?

Working on Gary's car. Anyone has front facing car example?

After some time working on my Pallet Town map and some more spritework (for those interested, a list below) I tried my hand on Gary's car. With a base model from fangame Anime Chronicles, I tried to make a sprite that looks like the car from the anime and more or less fits Gary with a couple of cheerleaders. Curious to know what you think!

And I have a question: does anyone have some references for front and back facing cars? I plan on making an entire spritesheet so I can use this as a character in events. Can barely find any car sprites or tiles for use in gen 4 games, but havent found a single front facing or back facing sprite...

List of what I worked on the last month or so:

- Pyjama Ash running sprite

- Ash swimming sprites (for the river scene)

- Ash and Misty fishing sprites

- Animation of Ash getting shocked

Your feedback really helped!

Recently, I shared my work-in-progress Pallet Town and received some great feedback. Here is the new version (and the old one for comparison). Some details will surely be changed or added later, but for now I'm really pleased with the result.

My rendition of Pallet Town. Still rough around the edges but getting there I think

Finally moved on from character sprites to tilesets. Focusing on Pallet Town for now, with immense gratitude to all the original creators who I will credit in the game (but its a biiig list to put on here). Most of the sprites are recolorings or (heavy) adaptations from other people's work. Only the store/radiostation I made completely from scratch and is not finished yet. The other image shows the references from the anime. The map is still a work in progress, lots of detailing to do and will try to make it a little more compact. Let me know what you think :)

How to actually develop the game together?

So I tried looking into this, but as I'm very new to game development in general, I actually have no idea how to go about this. I have more than enough (professional) experience in working together on a project, sharing documents, etc. but have no idea how to do that properly with Pokémon essentials and all the files it requires.

The easiest to set up seems some kind of shared folder (on Google drive, or something) but that would lack proper version control and working simultaneously within Pokémon essentials (for example editing events and editing maps).

Anyone has any tips?

Building shadows?

I'm wondering something. Some tilesets include shadows under the buildings and some don't. If I want them in my game, should they be in the tilesets or are they added with a script later? Like OW sprites?

WIP Rocket Meowth balloon and Pallet Town buildings

Slowly but surely forming the assets I need to make the first few minutes of my game. It seemed very daunting before I started these buildings, but with time I think I got a good idea for the artstyle. And luckily there were some good bases to work from. For Oak's Lab I used the creation from Jordindy as a base and was also inspired by the work of MorlockHater. Ash's house is a modification of the outlined HGSS tileset from Zetavares852. Curious to know what you guys think!

Officer Jenny bike and sidecar

After my first attempt at this bike and sidecar (picture 2) you guys were very helpful. And also very polite, because looking back the dimensions were way off :P Anyway, I now present you my second attempt, with which i'm actually pretty happy. Let me know what you think! I also tried a stationary pose with the bike slightly tilted and one leg on the ground. Couldnt make it work...

Next up i'm turning all the separate elements into spritesheets for just the bike, just the bike and sidecar, Jenny solo on the bike and Jenny solo on the bike with sidecar. Then on to nurse Joy and Gary's car and fangirls.

World map for anime remake project

Version 2.0 of my attempt to make a somewhat coherent map with (almost) all of the Indigo League locations. I took some liberties with the placement of certain towns to limit the amount of backtracking (or outright teleportation) that the anime has. I also placed most of the anime-only locations so they can be skipped without deviating from the main route. Let me know what you think :)

Officer Jenny bike - help?

Hi everyone! Chance of pace from some of the OW character sprites I've been doing (an update on that is incoming, with Brock and Gary done and Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy in the making). I can't seem to get this police bike right so am hoping for some constructive feedback. Perhaps the more experienced spriters can give me some pointers as to why this bike is not working? I think the perspective is off, but not sure how to fix it. Any help is much appreciated as I'm getting very frustrated with myself :P
