Varik (Brandish/Earthbound Halloween Hack)
Textbox
Overworld
Description
Varik is the main protagonist of the Brandish series, a franchise Toby Fox loved while growing up. Toby liked Varik’s character so much that he included Varik as the player character in his Earthbound Halloween Hack. While the Halloween Hack is frowned upon, it serves as a gateway for people to know who Varik is as a character, and so here he is in the Undertale style!
Update 12/28/24: Heya. I doubt too many people use these sprites, but you may notice the overworld sprites are different. For one thing there's more of them, there was originally only front, left, right, and back, but now you have left and right sprites for the front and back as well. Plus, a smile version of the front sprite for shits and giggles. Anyways these sprites are actually 1 to 1 with the dimensions of the in-game sprites, so they work in the overworld mockup generator now. You'll also notice an additional talking sprite. That is also within the 50x50-pixel dimensions, though I may try to make bigger ones. It's a shame I won't be able to get the same level of detail within the textbox sprites as I had done with the current sprites. Sadly they're low res. Oh well. I'll figure something else out. Until then, enjoy the updates! P.S. I wanna give a huge shoutout to my friend Pikaplay90 (aka Sans Deltagoon on some spaces) for helping me out here. I made the sprites myself in IBISPaint but he was the one who actually took the time to crop them and then get them prepared for being uploaded to the website. Please go check his stuff out also. He has an account here as well.
Update 12/29/24: Finally got the text box sprites to work. Varik should be in a pretty good state to use now.
Update 6/7/25: Ended up changing the talk sprites AGAIN. I ended up not being satisfied as the previous ones were too big compared to most talk sprites. I decided to take a crack at another version using the 50x50 dimensions. I think this is the big winner and unless more overworld sprites and expressions are added, Varik is complete!
