Really nice looking game, I like it alot. They dont seem to make games like this anymore. I was bored and came up with a version of the character model. Maybe it gives you some ideas, I dont know, but it was fun to make. Its basically just a sketch, not polished at all. I wasnt sure weather it was some kind of monkey or bear or what. Anyway Good luck with the rest of the game! really nice, personally i think it'd fit perfectly but lol i doubt he'll use it ^^, secondly he'd have to start worrying about animations now too... i think superku is actually a cross between a COW and other animals, notice the beak? lol @superku, as cute as your little character is, he looks perfect in-game but when i see him up close in screenshots, then i get a little lost, but his weird visuals may also be apart of what makes your game successful, i just always wonder how it could be made to look more detailed, with such an odd design in mind ^^

@ryangregory : your sketch is really good. But for Sodoku , i prefer the original Sodoku character, it is lot more cartoon, un realistic, lot more special with little legs, more appropriate to it's gameplay than detailled model. just my personnal taste

Haha thanks for the feedback and the cute bear model sketch! I like the bell, too, and will probably design it like that. And yes, it's mostly a cow, but I don't know why game models always have to resemble animals or humans, I prefer fictional creatures. Additionally, the character has a nostalgic value for me, I've used to draw Superku comics since I've been a kid and made games with this character (design) since 2001. There's a problem with thin characters, they don't fit platformers very well. For a good movement and feeling the feet resp. the "bottom" have to be rather wide. Imagine Super Mario Bros. had a character with regular proportions. I think the gameplay would feel much worse then e.g. because as soon as the feet leave a platform, you'd lose ground contact and fall down. The same goes for landing a jump, wider characters forgive misplaced jumps and make platforming a lot easier.

Superku: whats actually up with your Superku character, thats like the figure you did not change for years. (and also dont change/adapt the looks when you change the graphical style in your games) If you look at Mario, the char got adapted to the graphical style, while retaining the same general look thoughout the games.

Well... there is at least some evolution in the "design" and quality of my Superku character: There have been many versions inbetween (including a few tries with fur shaders) that have had a different look, f.i. a more evil version with more detail: The next version (for the adventure game) will probably be a mixture between the current version and the one from Sculptris along with a fur shader.
