On July 8th 2021, I released an AY-minigame I made called Barrel Extravaganza ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/549270792/ ). On the same day, @Burgnew_On_A_Laptop imagined if the barrels became alive, and a bit of brainstorming and a day later, I released the project featuring the Barrel Squad for the first time ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/551975117 ). It was then on November 8th 2022 that @Burgnew_On_A_Laptop released Barrel Castle ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/733338490 ), a spinoff to Barrel Extravaganza that introduced 4 new barrel types. A conversation I actually had with him on my profile back when Barrel Extravaganza was new (and before the idea of Barrel Castle even existed) actually sparked the ideas he thought up of for sentient barrel versions of 3 out of the 4 new barrels from Barrel Castle (ideas originally for Barrel Extravaganza REDUX, which I may end up making a long time from now). That is when the ideas for the sentient barrel versions of the warp, TNT, and tar barrels were made. The transformer barrel's sentient version I thought up of myself as it was not mentioned in that conversation from long ago. Now, it's time for these new sentient barrels to make their debut! Meet Transforming Terrence, Warped Walter, T-N-Tina, and TarMacKenzie Rabbel! The Auxiliary Barrel Squad! They are not as recurring as the main seven Barrel Squad members, but they are auxiliary members and thus, they're willing to give the main Barrel Squad any additional help or support with a task if needed. And no, this time they're not revolting. Start the project for more information. Hover over one of the sentient barrels to see a quick description of them. Additionally, I also included updated sprites for the main seven Barrel Squad members AND updated sprites for the plain ol' barrels themselves (including the new Barrel Castle Barrels)! See inside to take a peek!
===== CREDITS ===== - Credit to @Burgnew_On_A_Laptop for Barrel Castle and its four new barrels (which I re-sprited inside the project). Also credit to him for the initial ideas for the Barrel Squad (including the new members). - Credit to Nintendo, Disney, Pixar, Traveller's Tales, and Tiertex Design Studios for the SNES version of "Ego Check". - The new Barrel Squad members were vectorized by me, using the new barrel types from Barrel Castle as a base. Remember to credit me for any members of the Barrel Squad, and PLEASE let me know first if you want to use them so I can provide feedback. NOTE: It is likely that I might be the voice actor for Warped Walter and TarMacKenzie Rabbel.
