Announcing "Project: Arena" - A Personal Challenge

Character Concept: Hero Girl by ~SAB-CA on deviantART

So, I drew this picture over a year ago, as a game character concept. I also made a pixel portrait of her, which is what you see me using as my avatar on this here blog.

Well, now, I finally want to put her to use! With this post, I announce my intent to make as much of an arena fighting game as I possibly can! (Guardian Heroes Style!) There's only one problem... I'm not really a programmer!

So what does this mean? It means I plan to make the sprites, animation, U.I., Opening cinematic... everything I personally can do, as a sprite artist, and artist in general.

I'll start off, by trying to define a sprite style for the characters I plan to have, starting with the girl at the top. I'll post those here, on this blog, under the Tag "Project: Arena".

Initial assests to look out for are 2 stages, and 4 characters. Get THAT out of the way, first, and we'll see what comes from that! Gotta set some realistic goals to start with!

So look forward to seeing my attempt as making a game! If either I, someone close to me, figure out programming, everyone might get a chance to actually PLAY this thing, too!
