Streets of Rage 2 (Sega Megadrive/Genesis) ROM hack that replaces characters with my brother and friends. Sprites captured and rotoscoped from full motion video. This is a physical release that runs on real hardware, and comes with everything an authentic Japanese Megadrive game would have. Box, manual, registration card, and cartridge.

I defined the moveset in sketch form, green-screen captured the boys performing, and then built a high resolution character library. I removed as many redundant frames as possible, but kept the count high enough to not significantly reduce the fluidity of the raw footage (as I am also using them in an high res original PC game of mine called 'Chaos').

But for this retro project, I created sprite sheets of only the key frames, reduced and hand finished to the Megadrive's 64 colour pallet (512 available colours)
