Alright, so, I guess I might as well get into this here if anywhere.

So, Anstein is kind of a problem on the art side. Pretty much everything she does is complicated; she has scales, a heavy weapon, is physically large, and has a lot of complicated attack motions. What this means is that her animations take an extremely long time to make.

So long, in fact, that I'm not sure if she's worth the effort. I could make two different high quality characters in the time it would take me to finish one Anstein, or maybe even more. Especially given that a lot of the time, I barely want to work on her at all, because of how daunting the task is.

I had started a resprite of Anstein, in the hopes that the resprite would be easier to animate. And it was, and is, but it's still not easy. There's still a lot of persistent problems that make her difficult to animate regardless of simplified scale patterns or anatomy or whatnot. If I do end up finishing her, it'll be much further ahead, maybe somewhere late fall this year, and it will be with help. Maybe a lot of help.

So, don't hold your breath. I may not ever finish her. That doesn't mean I don't care for her or don't want to; it's just the challenge she presents is not one I'm capable of overcoming at the moment. I know this isn't what a lot of people want to hear, but it's the truth.

I have other characters in the works. Simpler ones, but they're still cool, and I'm still putting my heart into them. Look forward to those, and don't forget to enjoy the dozens of fantastic workshop mods already out there.

Wow... I didn't expect a response so detailed. You know if you think that this project would become to difficult you could hand this project in as unfinished to the community to finish. Because I'm sure people would be happy to finish the character for you. Also when the workshop first came it didn't take me that long to figure out that this was on of the best designed characters on the Workshop just how much detail was put into it and it honestly feels like a character that could have made an appearance in the actually roster.

This is just a opinion you don't have to give out your unfinished work to anyone just a thought...

Thanks for the response

This is a late reply, but if someone wants to finish Anstein for me, I give my permission. You can just modify the character files directly so there's no need for me to upload anything.

Honestly, it would be amazing to see her finished. Your characters are some of my favourites on the workshop. I hope that you do find the time and the will to work on her, or at the very least find new characters that you're more interested in making that are just as fun, if not more fun, to play!

just wanna say the dodge sprites are a cute aesthetic and i'd totally be down with that style for the whole thing if you just wanna slap that on there for the time being
