Hi all! Figured I would get this party started.
I'm planning an RPGMV game, leaning to making an educational activity about red pandas. I haven't really finished the planning phase, that comes later today. I might lean more to fantasy with combat or something more to do to keep the player engaged.
Anyone else shooting for this jam? Red pandas are rather adorable and it seems tricky to capture that in a video game. From my research, they mostly eat and lie/sleep around. So keeping the player engaged beyond the "OMG cute" reaction is going to be the main challenge I think.
If you search for cc0 red panda there are plenty of photo resources to get started. Sadly, the only sprites I could find are from a mod, so not open for use. I've recolored a raccoon from time fantasy animals since that's what I have to work with. I'd love to see some more graphic resources around.
Also, do they make any sounds? I have not had luck finding anything on red panda sounds/cry/growl/ect. What does a red panda sound like?
