As promised, I've got two more sprites for the WANTED Collab: Digital Deluxe Edition 4K Remastered Version.

the

collab

For Pixel Day I'm planning on doing a content update for the game, which means I am accepting NEW submissions for the game!

If you don't what Wanted! is, it is an interactive character spotting game that slowly gets harder and harder as you keep playing. It is heavily ripped of- I mean inspired by the Super Mario Bros minigame with the same name. Give the game a try if you haven't already:
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/965687
Your submissions will be the little character sprites that run around the bottom half of the screen during gameplay.

This update for the game will feature all your new submissions, harder round types, new medals and more "secret" game modes.

The rules are largely the same as last time, but I have rewritten some of them for better clarity. Please read even if you've already submitted before.

Rules
In order for the game to be fun and balanced, you must draw your sprite under some very specific rules. The rules have been written in full with images on the discord server, but here's a slightly watered down version for this thread:
Sorry there's so many rules, but it's all for the better of the actual game! If your sprite breaks too many of these rules I will ask you to adjust/redraw it. If you have any questions regarding these rules, please don't hesitate to ask!

Here's some example sprites featuring some Psychonauts characters:

You could also play the game to see more examples too.

Submitting:

I will be doing playtests for the new update in the discord server, so if that is something that interests you then please come and join :D


I'm gonna see if I can make a 3-LL1077 sprite for it! (creds to my girlfriend for this art, her rendition of my OC is the most canon design)

@DaxCamdaxian I can't take that one unfortunately. Sprites have to be the head of the character only. Is the full head version good to download, or did you still want to make those tweaks you mentioned on the Discord server?


@SkellART Your sprite is missing the black outline around it. The outline you've got currently needs to be solid black and also go around the white bit at the bottom. Once you've done that I can get the sprite in 👍


@PizzaPasta100 Can I get the names for each of your characters please? I don't know what sprite goes with what name you wrote in the Google doc.

Update: I fixed my Carmelita sprite a little bit, because her earring looked like it was blending into her ear. Here is my fixed version, use this one instead. I apologize for the inconvenience.

The first guy with orange hair and a giant smile is Does Evil Things Guy.


The second guy with brown hair and a square head with an angry face is Marvin SML.


The third guy with a red eye and a blue helmet is Aethos Jerry.

Up to you if you wanna put them on the file dump or not though, I can't imagine there would be too much compression on such a small image.

I know a similar question was asked about non-newgrounds stuff, but I still think its worth mentioning. Is any 2000's to early 2010's stuff that relates closely to flash and or just the niche geek internet acceptable? I would mention my specific characters, but I don't want anyone stealing my ideas. >:(

Like I said before, anything goes, but the closer it relates to Newgrounds the better. I'm sure whatever character you're thinking of will fit in fine with the already existing large cast of characters :)

Looking good so far! Will need you to add a solid black outline around these sprites before I can use them though. Also Gidgat is too small, their sprite needs to extend across the entire canvas (either left to right, top to bottom, or all 4 sides)
