A little sketchdump of the game with Sarah that may or may not happen. Whatever. I'm on a roll with these and they were fun to plot out. it's like being a kid again...

For starters, this is about what her proportions would be like for the game. She's normally got a thin, noodlely frame, so making her shorts and stubbier would bean better visibility as a sprite, and even make it easier to animate her.

She's got her basic actions. Moving, jumping, who doesn't have that? Dead people. That's who. She also can stand -somewhat- still. But it won't be long before she goes into one of her idle animations (she's not the static sprite type).

Dash: Here's a move borrowed from games like Animaniacs/Bonkers/Buster Busts Loose, a chargeable dash. Complete with wheel-o-feet. What's with games with cartoon characters and a dash mechanic? While dashing, you can hold down to make Sarah "trip" and slide on the ground on her front. She'll eventually grind to a halt, but if you hold down for only a second she'll get back up and continue her dash.

Crouch: Since Sarah's a toon, a lot of her spritework is animation-centric, and some actions have more than one animation. When you press down, she'll crouch. 60% of the time, she crouches like on the right, keeping her head low. 30% of the time she'll end up lounging. There's a 10% chance she'll "duck" where she crouches, but also puts on a duck bill. It shoudl be noted they all have the same hitbox.

Bomb: Another move borrowed from Bonkers. Sarah can carry a limited supply of bombs. To defend herself and break some obstacles. She can either lob the bomb in an arc while standing/jumping, or she can crouch and roll it on the ground a short distance.

Swim: Still playing with this. Sarah may be a cat, but she's got no problem treading water. She automatically floats to the surface when treading water. Like Kirby, she spawns a snorkle mask when in this state.

Ground pound?: Wario is a heavy dude. He can sit on guys to kill them and through his weight around. Sarah doesn't have nearly the bulk that Wario has, so she doesn't have a hip drop. The ground will win, every time. She barely weighs more than a bag of sugar! That's not gonna cut it.

Pogo Tail: Sarah channels her inner Tigger to jump higher than normal and vault off of enemies. It works like the Pogo cane that Scrooge has in Ducktales.... but with one trade-off. You can't use it to bounce off of spikes. Don't even try it.

Are you guys enjoying these any? i can post some more crap like this if'n you want.
