Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon vs. Nightmare

[DD Tokki]

This is the name of the new project I started working on background sprites last time.

I was thinking about what to start in the meantime if I got stuck on King of Rage and Kunio-kun, and this is what I decided on.



The title image is as follows.

The title is *Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon*, but since I am used to the Japanese logo, it is displayed with the Japanese title.

It is also correct to read it as *Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon*.




I am completing the illustration by combining it with the original game's illustration and my own modifications. This is the selection screen.

However, personally, I think the legs in this illustration look ugly.



In the end, I modified the original drawing with my limited skills.

Actually, how an illustration style looks seems to depend on one's standards.



The game utilizes SFC-style characters.

While the arcade version is good, it is a very difficult style for me, and since I see many games that use arcade materials, I decided to take the opposite direction and go with the SFC style.

I am redrawing the enemies myself, referencing them directly.

Since I am creating something out of nothing, I expect it will take a considerable amount of time.

I am finally uploading a video of the game work I have been working on recently.

It will likely turn out to be a story-driven game, but I am trying to create a concept that doesn't neglect the action.

I like the result.
Sure it's early gameplay, but I already like the tweaks on sprites + colors.
Also the feeling of power + wall bounce... This si the power feeling that no other Sailor Moon game have.
I can't wait to see more of Mars in action.
And hope this project will be a great way to take some breaks from other projects

I would love to see this progress, and I'm not even a Sailor Moon fan. I just feel it's a franchise that needs the touch of a competent developer like yourself. We've had lots Sailor Moon projects in the past, but the early ones were either tired BOR reskins or got too caught up in the fetish aspect. More recent projects just stalled out and didn't go anywhere.

From everything you've shown in your other work I think you could do this one justice.

Although the finishing touches aren't quite perfect, I view this as the result of refinements from The King of Rage and the Kunio-kun Project. It seems those two works are what led to the emergence of this sophisticated action system.

Thank you. I am planning to implement a system based on the Sailor Moon theme that takes a direction never seen before. More importantly, I need to finish any game properly, but it takes a lot of time, haha.
