Welcome to the modern day version of the Pizzard Mod. After 3 years in development (it didn't actually take that long this just wasn't a big priority), 
hopefully it will have been worth the wait. Thanks, and have fun!

Been a hot minute huh?!?!? Did the three people waiting for this think I died?!?!? Does anybody even care about this freak still?!?! Do people even care 
about character swaps for this game anymore?!?! Probably not... but like, we're both already this far. We gotta finish what we started. In an attempt to
give some kind of silver lining to this, I attempted to replace almost every sprite in the game that wasn't done yet. Hopefully you find that cool. I don't
exactly know if this is a novel thing or not anymore, I'm just a guy with a DREAM and an ASEPRITE copy man.

Quick sidenote, I probably don't have to tell you this, but I am comedically bad at maintaining this mod (show don't tell am i right). If you enjoy this mod,
you might wanna back up the patched data file just in case this game receives another update. Also, this isn't built off the most recent patch, as I don't
consider it important enough to warrant setting up all the sprites again. (see what i'm talking about this should be a pretty good red flag)

Anyways, the rest of this will be similar to the old text file, where I list out what each pose is referencing and offer a few questions you probably don't
have. You can close this file now if that's not your thing. Thanks for the download! Totally gonna use whatever currency Gamebanana has later! (i'm lying)





-------------------------------------| QUESTIONS YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE |-------------------------------

1. "Is the Pizzard seen in this mod supposed to be Dougie Jones?? Is this just some random Pizzard?? Is this freak even HUMAN???"

This Pizzard was intended to be a completely unnoteworthy enemy, so there's an intentional lack of details.
Make of them what you want, I say! Take this Pizzard for what they are? Yeah sure. Take this Pizzard as
THE Dougie Jones? Why not man, you do you. Take this Pizzard as your super duper awesome oc that's actually
multiversal level and they're just holding back the entire time because of how secretly good they are?!??!?
...I mean, I can't really stop you now. You're the dude playing the mod, after all.

2. "Can I port this to another mod or future version of the game?"

As long as whatever you're porting this to is fine with mods, go nuts man.

3. "Why is there so many static/outline effects in these animations?"

I couldn't really figure out a way to further exaggerate the more intense expressions, so I settled on that. 
I mean... Pizzards are associated with electricity right? This kind of makes sense, right??

4. "No moveset changes???"

I'm interested in learning coding eventually, but this is simply too much of an undertaking at the given moment. If I become 
like, an insane coding wizard, I may come back to this mod in the future and offer some kind of different gameplay experience. 
Do not count on that ever happening though.

5. "What's that one Noise taunt about?"

No clue what you're talking about. Must've been in the previous version of the game, I guess. Ask McPig.

-------------------------------------| (MOSTLY) ALL THE REFERENCES |-------------------------------------

Taunts:
Headphones: Neku (The World Ends with You)
The Green Bag: Komasan (Yo-Kai Watch)
The Big Feather Pen and Book: this wasn't drawn with anything in mind but it looks like the one family guy bit so just pretend i was referencing that instead
The Green Bowl of Food: Dougie Jones (Anton Blast)
The Sprites with the Shoes: it's all sonic dude
The Golden Sword: if they ever shut down warner bros i'll tell you guys what this was referencing
The Pointy Hand with the Shoes: this is the black mage from smash flash 2. i don't think any soul out there was guessing this.

Idle Animations:
The Point Forward: cmon man if you're the target audience for this game you should know this one (it's sonic 3)
The Book that Causes You to Fall Over: the luigi's mansion gif that says "me reading the book that instantly kills you"

Other Movement Animations:
Fire Pizza Spin/Boss Hits with the Shoes: still all sonic dude
Rolling Transformation: ...i feel like this one's pretty obvious
Boss Strike with Hand Out: based off the official sketch on the pizzard wiki page (this is an entirely separate mod to be clear)
Crawl Sprite: this is also based on a panel from the noise comic
Skateboard Parry: Beat's Block Animation (also from the world ends with you (this is a really good game if you couldn't tell by now))
Breakdance/Soundtest: (one of) Mae's Dancing Animations (Night in the Woods (this one didn't really translate so i forgive you for not getting it that time. next time you're screwed though.)
Knight Transition: My original excuse for not having the transformations done was that The Pizzard was ACTUALLY summoning Peppino whenever one was triggered. I'm not sure I actually 
wrote this down anywhere, but I thought it was mildly amusing. This animation and TV graphic was basically a fully realized version of that.
Bomb TV: look up "guy lifting pizza with mind" for more information.
Golf TV: look up "epic gamer comic baseball minigame" for not enough information.
Boss Death: i don't really know what this animation is called but you've definitely seen it in at least one fighting game
Peppino Graffiti: mario 2 end screen (holy throwback (all my 40 year olds out there are gonna love this reference))

Misc:
The Mana Potion Replacing the Pistol: it's terraria dude. it's actually humiliating that you don't know this.
The Boss Portrait: based heavily off of nomura's zipper designs (especially of a certain duck), the staff was also intended to be the wand of sparking (aka the best terraria weapon)
Red Palette: HEAT. METER. That is all.
Noise's Jolly Palette: a color scheme once used in an old christmas demo. also known as the best noise color palette. it is a crime this is not in the final game.
