Hello everyone! As far as you may remember, I am making a traditional fighting crossover game PROJECT: NG, I've been doing some tinkering with the works and it's been a while since I updated here, so I'll just hand over the skinny for this.
First of all, base sprites
They sure did grow since the first they were brought up, we're working hard, but steady to make the best of the game, and keep my promise to deliver.
Special thanks to Matt for making the Hank and Grunt sprites
These new base sprites trump the first prototype sprites as shown below.
The music is doing pretty fine as well, Yamahearted has made a few tracks so far and they sound great! Can't wait to share if we're ready.
And now the stages. So far there's 3 of the backgrounds are made, Training Grid, Wartorn and Nevada.
Lastly, some misc stuff.
Here's the old mockup of the CSS, gonna be reworked soon.
And that's it, See you soon!

The glow-up is insane. The old sprites look like a Neo Geo Pocket game but it slowly became more of its own thing which I think is for the better since some of the sprites wouldn't look good if they were created in that previous style. Just looking at Samurai Asshole, Convict, and Salad Fingers just says enough about how far the project has come. Even the backgrounds had gotten the glow-up treatment as well.
Also, since the select screen is getting a rework. A nice detail would be if Grunt/Henchman and the real Piconjo are unlocked as secret characters just like how they were secrets/easter eggs in Newgrounds Rumble. In Newgrounds Rumble, Grunt/Henchman can be unlocked in versus mode by clicking next to Hank googles and the real Piconjo can be found if you 100% completed the game (not as a playable character but instead gives you a message warning you that Newgrounds Rumble Piconjo isn't the real Piconjo). It would be a nice reference to Newgrounds Rumble secrets which are also callbacks to fighting games having secrets/easter eggs. You even get achievements by finding these secrets which is cool.
