I've been debating tackling this myself but I thought it might be interesting to make the horse mount into a magestic mythical stag. I'm unsure of the constraints to the sprites so I was hoping to get a few of y'alls advice on making new sprites for this.
I'm struggling currently on how to turn the XNB files into something I can edit. I've tried downloading daravin's xnb node thing but I can't figure out how to get it to work.
Progress has been made! Thank you Oyakodown for that album, I was able to get the file turned into a .png! Also I want to thank Aternova as I've been working off their carrier dragons because they have a beautiful sleek design and the run-cycle on them is lovely. This is what i've got, just need to finish up the rest of the poses. https://i.gyazo.com/d99856f7e8a9e24587b81612715661cf.png (edit: https://i.gyazo.com/de766dbeb5b04f2e70bfd68e121a3251.png Got the whole first row done, starting on side-view)
Update: Finished the sprite, now I just need to get enough damn hardwood to make my stable since I've been putting it off, and try this baby out!
Here we are! Finally got my horse. This is what it looks like in action! https://i.gyazo.com/3c048fc9e0f75c78881125d019e1349e.gif Running https://i.gyazo.com/5fa7f00c94a893b9b5241148d843412e.gif Idle Animation Theres some minor issues with the back leg/thigh area, And the character clipping over the antlers but otherwise I think it came out really well! Anything anyone sees that needs adjusting?
