[Char] Sidera (collab with JoHo15)

[Nyamaiku]

Introduction
cosmic cultist tako, totally not insipred by bloodborne, and by extension, lovecraft
naming based on the word "sidereal", or its latin origin "sideralis", meaning "in relation to or in respect of the stars"
other name suggestions welcomed tho

Description
a char who utilizes tentacle attacks and cosmic space magic, plan to have a background override ult move. bg override will be replaced with a diff move when bg in play, and her other skills will gain some extra secondary attacks/properties

Progress
progress is slow coz both joho and i are busy with irl stuffs
i've been handling most of the spriting with my free time but sadly i have the spriting speed of a chicken nugget

test version available that has basic actions and normal attacks done, also comes with an AI that can utilize her range and have difficulty checks. feedbacks welcomed.
DOWNLOAD LINK v0.5 test
note that the grab attack is lacking a blood effect when she stabs her tongue for visuals, also no healing yet.
reason is coz im dont feel like uploading an extra data file with just a visual effect and minor heal.

cant wait to play as him/her. I wonder how long does it take to create character like Sidera, Jason, Nya and other fanmade characters if i may ask.

Cant say, coz irl stuffs can get in the way. Progress should be pretty fast if sprites are ready and i only havta handle data/ai, but thats not the case coz joho's too busy, so im handling most of the spriting too atm. And like i said in first post, i have the spriting speed of a chicken nugget.

tnx for reply. What application do you use to create characters. like their data, attacks, hitbox range, sprite etc, genuine original characters like jason, sidera, nya, kaktena etc

Iirc joho uses clip studio pain for spriting.

As for me, im using an old version of photofiltre for spriting, both due to it being good for basic stuffs and that it didnt have layers. Reason for that is coz my lappy broke down and im using a very sh**** spare that can only handle programs with extremely low requirements, and im a lazy a** so im avoiding layers coz i dont wanna learn or adapt to it yet.

As for doing data, any dcer is fine for me.

I really liked him/her. This character feels unique and really op even against characters like jason, clide, leo etc

[Sorcerer]

the succ attack is sus.
love her tentacles.

Perhaps can add a grab move with her tentacles which bring a character to her from afar. Like Azazel, or wall of tentacles

nah, tentacles will only be her basics, like i said in intro/description, she's gonna be using cosmic space magic stuffs
like this weirdly colored laser
