I was originally going to do a sprite of Santa, but I figured Stompy with a Santa hat would do just as well. I find that I quite enjoy doing sprite work, even though mine isn't really that good. This Stompy sprite is my favorite so far. That's probably what Stompy will look like in a sequal*hint, hint* *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*
As for Blocky Man work, I've been loading up the game with sound effects. One thing I find is that freeware sound effects are not easy to find. If worse comes to worse, I can break out a microphone and make some of the sound effects. For instance, I need a can opening sound for the health and energy drink items. Luckily, the game doesn't need that many sound effects, so I should be able to find all I need.
Also, nice hat :)
