Coming up next on our character spotlight pipeline is none other than Junkyard, the coolest, good-est canine companion any Toxic Crusader could ask for!
Concept Art
Without a doubt we took loads of inspiration from his appearance in the Toxic Crusaders cartoon, but we also had a vision for giving Junkyard a modernized look to his original appearance. Here, we have some wonderful concept art of Junkyard drawn by UK comic artist Steve Gregson:
Taking Swipes, Howling with Fright!
When creating Junkyard’s in-game sprite and animations, we wanted to make sure he would create as much lovable havoc as possible. In the original cartoon, Junkyard certainly presented himself as a polite fellow when we first met him, but in the game, he becomes a formidable Crusader that can swipe, spin, and bite away at Dr. Killemoff’s Radiation Rangers!
And what better way to show he’s a force to be reckoned with by giving him a howl that sends shivers down even Dr. Killemoff’s spine!?
In-Game Design
Junkyard’s idle sprite makes him look like he’s ready for action…or maybe he’s just wondering if you’ll finish that chicken bone!
It’s also very much possible to unleash devastating combos with Junkyard’s dash and jump attacks! Time your attacks right, and you, too, can try to climb the combo numbers!
We’re excited to share more of our character designs as development continues!
