2023 KOPPY SKETCHES!!!

Old design I came up for Koppy. He always had his socks on his previous concepts, but this was the first time he got a shirt. I ended up making him wear both.

University in december is hell, this is all I can do for Koppy for now.


This is just one of the many sketches and concept art I made for my project Koppy Kopsocks (at the time of these sketches, it was known as "Kumper (Socks)").

However, I lost all of my art (2019-2025) from my old tablet, so I only have some of them saved somewhere else. I think the very first concepts of Koppy are completelly lost, unfortunally.

I might share more older sketches of Koppy in the future.

"HE COULD FLY??"

Yes! Kind of.

I can't really remember if it was an actual concept I came up with or if I just drew it as a silly depiction from his floppy ears. Either way if it was actually planning in adding it I wouldn't end up making it a reality, since Rayman and Tails are a thing.

However, I could add this feature to other future character.

"Why isn't he wearing socks?"

There was a time where I was reconsidering in making him wear socks or not, I don't really remember the exact reason but I think it was just to test his shirt clothing or to see if he looked better without them.

"Who's the angry mole looking guy?"

A rival I had in mind for Koppy. I'll still consider in giving him rivals at some point.

"Sonic?"

I did quite get inspired on Sonic's design for Koppy. (You can see the Sonic on the majority of my characters even).

"If the sketches are from 2023, then how do they have the recent Koppy logo?"

I added that including my name just now since none of these sketches were watermarked (I didn't have much online presence back then, so all of my old art was kept to just myself.)

Design analisis

You can see that Koppy's current design looks quite different from this design by some clear changes. Here I was actually designing him as a teen, while now he's more innocent and young looking (basically a literal child), so that's why most of his expressions here show that "cool kid attitude".

You can also see in his shape language that he has more sharp edges, his ears are more "pentagon" shaped rather than almond shaped and round. He does look way cooler like that but I wanted him to be softer since most of my characters are already carrying that tone.

(Imagine the "original design from japan" VS "american internationalization" thing that most mascots went through, but just in reverse for this case lol)

INTRO CUTSCENE! (W.I.P)

"Wait... Didn't you already make an intro cutscene like 5 times before?" This time is for real

Almost every level will have its own cutscene, including some extra cutscenes for other stuff.

(The music is placeholder only)

New update!

- New spawn & respawn effects to the enemies, now it's clearer when and where an enemy is about to spawn;

- Visual indicator to the spiders' movement! (String lines on the background) Now it's clearer to understand where the spiders appear.

Koppy if he was cool and american and if he had a physical release

Programs used: - Procreate (to draw Koppy & the background) - Photoshop (to edit the box cover elements) - Blockbench (for the inaccurate 3D mockup)

Koppy went through many changes, every look with its own personality!

It all started with a prototype Scratch game in 2022, now we're in 2025 with a Gameboy game on its Beta/Demo phase!

Read article to know more about every design and each prototype!

Preview of the new 1st level: Now in vertical! (W.I.P)

If I put every single "1st level" I made into the game now then I'd have a full set of levels already

Also did some changes to the jump mechanic and did a bunch of optimization.

Happy Halloween!

A new special update for Koppy Kopsocks is out! Enjoy this new halloween themed level for this holiday!

Some features that were in development will be added on the next update after halloween.

- New sprint particles for Koppy! The previous particles were barelly noticeable so I changed them to be more visually visible.

- Health pickups! They can be found somewhere in each level, it restores the player's health by 1 heart.

And also...

Watch out! The camera is panning upwards by itself for no reason! (W.I.P)

Art that I made for my game during the #Devruary challenge!

I didn't got to post these directly to the game page, so here's a post with most of them there!

(Link to the original posts in the article )

1st level almost done!

Coded a new enemy system: they appear in 10 different places, but in reality there's only 4 of them! (It's not clones, that might be impossible on Gameboy unfortunally)
