So I really wanted to try a different style than the usual.
Rather than use the same old sprite rips I wanted to make something entirely ripped myself but at the same time mix similar generation game resources together.

So after a few conversations with a dude on discord and Phantom D I decided to make something based off dreamcast games.
And i started to mix rival schools and Dead or alive 2 stage resources together.
Then somewhere along the line the idea of a sort of "school under attack" came to mind.

This is a mix of the dreamcast DOA2 training stage, the Rival schools 2 final stage, and Red comet from the gundam series.
This will be interesting to see where this goes...

Removing the mech and adding new col scheme since doesnt match what im going for with giant gundam....

trying something else inspired by a dengeki bunko stage but still rival schools themed

Well I sort of hit a temporary slump with this one....
I don't really know what direction I want to go in.
Like, it feels really good as it is now, but it is far too static.
For the evening version, I don't know what else to add as far as effects and lighting to give it that extra flare.
I do have one idea, but it is all dependent on how I can simulate wind in the lower part.
I'm thinking spotlights and search lights from the blimps
But you can blame rival schools 2 for that because the original was bland

FYI this isnt dead I am still deciding whether to stick with the gundam theme or not

Good to know. This looks quite promising.
