Hello!
I'm making a fanganronpa based off what I'm good at, which is making cool stick people.
If you don't know what a fanganronpa is, it's a term for a fangame based off Danganronpa. Danganronpa is a murder mystery, visual novel game , where 16 students are trapped in a school and have to get away with murder to successfully escape the killing game.
Stickganronpa functions with the same concept. 16 students are trapped, (but not in a school because that's boring), and will have to find a way to escape with their lives, or fall victim to the killing game. This is simply a short demo as a proof of concept for a passion project :)

(Note! The demo is SHORT, and I mean, SHORT. But the full prologue release will contain much more lol).
You can try out the demo by clicking on the image!

Stick People go brrrrrrrrrr

Drawing all 16 students as stick figures really tests how well you can make each character recognizable at a glance haha. Do you lean more on poses and silhouettes to tell them apart, or let the way they talk establish their personalities first? It's a cool trade-off for a short prologue.

I definitely lean more into their poses and silhouettes character design wise, but, the way they talk/personality is up to what I want out of that character. Like "A" would have a nice contrasting personality that helps enhance their overall character or make them memorable

For the 16 students that I already have designed, It was purposeful to choose Felix Amethyst you first meet other than the mc, due to fact he has one of the most unique designs for a stick person. In comparison, most of the cast have their own unique flare and it's shown in their sprites, and im VERY excited for players to see the full cast.

Thank you for the question. :)
