Since I started playing around with mugen about six months ago I've noticed something that has irked me every time I boot it up.

THERES NO SPAWN

Yes I do realise that there is that one that everyone else seems satisfied with but it has no specials, no hypers and worst of all....

NO CAPE AND CHAINS!!!

which is not to say that it isn't a decent character otherwise but it just doesn't satisfy me as a diehard fan of the comic.

Anyhow, I only have basic experience with programing but I'm pretty good at art/graphics
including sprite animations. So if someone with a bit more coding experience will step up to the plate I can probably have the entire character designed and animated by the end of summer.

In terms of character design it would be mostly based on the early comics with sound rips from the animated series that used to air on HBO (go watch it on youtube, its awesome).

So if anyone is willing to do the programing (preferably someone who knows what their doing) I will love you forever.

Don't be so hasty, my young padawan. DarkTalbain, a member of this very forum, is currently creating at least 1 Spawn for Mugen...

Could you wait 'till April?

Yes, there is already a Spawn being made by my buddy Darktalbain...Medieval Spawn though. I was going to make Soul Calibur 2 Spawn, but I canceled that project. I think this should be moved to Mugen Discussion.

Edit: well what do you know..it got moved.

Here's Medieval

Here's the WIP thread

http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/Forum_345/index.php?topic=11185.0

Although I haven't had a lot of time to work on him because of my other characters . Here's the beginning of the Violator .

Oh wait almost forgot about this little guy

[youtube=425,350]ShmgSxFQpRA[/youtube]

Oh yeah that full size modern day Spawn . I may have something going on for him , also

Is that enough Spawn for you ? Creating takes time & for awhile now , my Wolvenom character was a priority . Once he is released , it's back to Spawn stuff

The man has spoken

I myself may revive my SC2 Spawn project, but not now. I won't bother till it's something I know I can do and do right...so in the future maybe.

Like DT said, these creations take lot's of time to make and it's not easy.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I've actually seen your work on medieval spawn already. He looks awesome but I really want see just good old classic spawn. Not soul calibur, not medieval and not munchkin. I'm eager to play your medieval one as well but I feel the original character needs to be on my roster.

Great work on violator btw. I hadn't seen that previously. can't wait to see that in action!!

sure, I actually won't be able to do any major work on the thing 'till early may when I finish finals.

Darkgargos · « **Reply #7 on:** March 30, 2009, 12:22:58 AM »

Classic Spawn huh? I assume you mean this one?

My crappy sprite edit of him, I had considered doing him as well and still might, but not now for the same reasons I'm not doing SC2 Spawn. Of course he would look better than this edit, it was just a test edit.

Thanx

Violator is tough , since you see he has no base . I'm just spriting him from scratch . So he will take the longest , but will be my most original character .

I have a big surprise about what you call " classic spawn " I'm just not talking about it right now

looks beautiful so far. I've had a few ideas in terms of hypers and specials if you want them.

nothing to show yet. I'll try and get a stand .gif done this week and post it
but essentially like this

prior to the giant leg gauntlet is the best verbal description I can give.

I think that if you want to see a certain Spawn so badly... make him yourself... you can even make him private if you want... whatever... You'll never know till you try.

umm..... thats what I'm doing. That's why I posted this is because I'm offering to sprite him and looking for a coder.
