I'm going to be remaking a retro vidya in JavaFX for shits n gigs.
What are some of your favorite obscure sprites that I can include in this game?
I'm gonna be making the sprites by hand so the simpler (but the cooler) the better.
I'll be posting on /vr/ as the project comes along and then give out the game for free.
Let me know if you have any questions / contributions.

Pretty cool. I wouldn't recommend Java for game development, but if that's all you know that's OK too.
Include my boy the MC from Monster Party.

This pic would make a good /vr/ test. If you can't name what game each one of these is from you shouldn't be posting here.

> I wouldn't recommend Java for game development
Why's that? I've been wanting to get more into game development, so I'm curious as to why (not OP obviously).

Should mention that this is Astyanax.
...
From the game Astyanax.
This is the closest I can get to a clear shot of the protagonist from Faxanadu.
He is never named, in game or in the manual.

keep in mind, in faxanadu your character changes as you upgrade equipment.
you start out looking like a nerd, but by the endgame you look like a badass knight.

another shot.
>>3696848
last one, to show the character sprite about midway through the game.
>>3696819
Obviously his name is Faxanadu, from the game Faxanadu.

>nerd
looks more like a strong hobo

It's good for learning if that's what your after. It's not great for dev speed and getting something done (unlike Python, JavaScript, ruby, etc)
People will meme c++ and stuff but for 2d shit interpreted languages are fine.
JavaScript has the advantage of being easy to share your game with folks. (Unlike asking people to run your sketchy exe or compiling code)

lol
it's always been a personal favorite of mine, with its atmosphere.

ironsword: wizards & warriors II, another game where your character gets upgraded throughout. lots of good sprites in this game too.
