A few of us had considered this idea after it was mentioned here, but we feel that sticking to characters based off of the retro gaming community for those that would like their likeness in the game is the best route, as homebrew games are made for those of us in the community to enjoy (and if anyone outside of the community enjoys them, that's just a bonus in my eyes).
That's not to say that if we can contact a developer from the period, and they're okay with us using their likeness, I don't see why that one (or more) developer from the period couldn't be tossed in as a hidden boxer
Anyway, onto some news about the project:
A contest is being put on by the artist for those to submit their own designs for boxing shorts and gloves, if anyone is interested!
Here's the rules: http://nintendoage.com/forum/message...hreadid=138624
For those who haven't registered at NintendoAge, that's okay! Nobody has to register at any other forum if they don't need to. All submissions are to be emailed to submissions@airwalkstudios.com so everything is in 1 centralized location
I will also be putting the "Submit Your Boxer" information on the Airwalk Studios website, so everyone can submit their boxer ideas for themselves. I'll keep everyone posted!
Thanks for the support with this project
