Other thing is I'm probably starting over on coding the Master Hand. And the reason is because the other day I learned how to make Dynamic Sprites. I haven't made any yet, but I know how now. I'm really excited about it. I figured I should make Master Hand Dynamic now, since he uses so many frames... and then I thought "Hmm, now that I can make sprites rotate and grow and whatnot, shouldn't I like, be making a true Master Hand boss?" Still debating whether or not to do that. It would take a lot of work, and it also might be a little overly complicated for a simple reoccurring mini-boss. But either way I'm re-thinking my Master Hand boss, now that I have this new skill with making custom sprites.
Though I'm also wondering if I should like, just make some simple dynamic sprites for now to get a feel of making them. Eh no matter really... I'll figure something out.

So yeah. Don't expect a Master Hand too soon. I've seen people put things about a Master Hand boss in their sig, or PM me about it, or bring it up elsewhere, and it's annoying me, furthermore it's a lot of pressure. I want those people to know I'm not putting myself on a deadline or anything, like you seem to think. Again, I think making this thread was a big mistake on my part... I should've kept this project of mine under wraps, in case big delays happen like this that end up disappointing a bunch of people.
That's all, really. I'll still make the Master Hand. Just won't be for quite a while, now that I'm getting the hang of a new skill.
On the other hand, once I get my own Dynamic Sprites to work, I'll be the third person in the history of the SMW community to be able to code one.
It's me!!
