modding interest check

Hey guys, I've had another stupid idea, but I would like to see where we can go with this. Now, I personally don't have a lot of experience with modding, so I want to try something new with whoever is interested.

I want to try and work with whoever is interested to make a Lake Valor wide mod for Smash 4 Wii U and 3DS. This mod I want to attempt with everyone will be one of two characters. It will either be Azelf (due to Lake Valor's mascot being Azelf) or Spear Waddle Dee (due to some actual interest in the character and my personal thoughts on him being a good new addition to Smash).

I personally want to do Spear Waddle Dee for a number of reasons. While Azelf slightly fits this first criteria, Waddle Dee himself appears in Brawl during King Dedede's Side-B, I believe with his own walk cycle and jump animations that we could copy to some extent. Azelf appears in the Spear Pillar stage, but without a walk/run/jump animation, meaning someone will have to animate those (and if you've ever seen RedG talking about those )

The other thing is, after playing a few games with Spear Waddle Dee and Spear Kirby, I feel like his moves are pretty easy to think of. There has been a thing on Smash Amino for a possible Azelf moveset and it would be an interesting baseline to work off, but you can kinda see the moveset coming together with Spear Waddle Dee, especially if you add the possibility of having Parasol stuff in the moveset to round out some other stuff that needs filling in.

So, there are things about modding textures in Sm4sh, so that might be the first thing we work on. I'm not sure if anyone has actually created an entirely new character yet, but we could possibly make a Waddle Dee Skin for Kirby while we wait for someone to figure it out.

What does everyone think, do you want to see my vague ideas for a Spear Waddle Dee moveset, and please vote in the poll for which character we do if you are interested. I want to have as many people getting this mod going.

 

Okay, so I want to update something quickly. Before we actually start working on the character, I want us to do two things. We will do this when we get enough people, but it's something I want us all to do something of before we start.

1. Using Waddle Dee data that I am currently attempting to extract, I want us to try and make a Waddle Dee texture for Kirby, be it collectively make a whole one or individually make one each to figure out our way around stuff.

2. I am currently investigating an application called BrawlBox for doing some preliminary stuff with this. If this application works out for stuff, I want us to attempt to do some alterations or something to Brawl code like KBG (Knockback Growth), BKB (Base Knockback), Run Speed and other stuff, just to get a feel for stuff. I did say this project would take a while and a lot of work, and if we need to figure this out. HOWEVER I have recently lost my personal copy of Brawl, so someone who owns the game will likely have to do stuff with the files. I will try to buy the game again to be able to do stuff myself as well.

This will be a very long project, so only sign up if you can stick around for the long haul. And please, if you are going to vote in the poll, sign up and contribute. It's unfair if people who don't sign up have the ultimate say in what we wwant to do ([member='TheeDrGetus'] calling you out)
