What's up, RMers?
Shadow has joined the force!

[Image: Dog.gif]

Shadow's battler is being fully animated. 9 actions are done, 3 actions are pending. The Walk and Run character sprites are done too, but now I have to do Sneak, Crawl and Sniff. Also, it will later be equipped with a utility harness and boots, so each of those will need to be added to the sprite. The new "Hellhound" and "Guard Dog" graphics will be derivatives of this one, but perhaps with different color patterns and slightly different bodies, with or without a tail.

Also, my new avatar is one of 9 key people central to the lives of the Royal Family of the Nation of Hera. Jack Johnson is the loyal personal bodyguard to King Valentino Hanson Hera VI. I've drawn out the rest of the royal family, their underlings and some other important NPCs, should make for an interesting geopolitical soap opera.

Documentation is getting thick for Project Beast and Project Echo, but I'm shuffling through the tasks and checking them off one by one! I'll have to salt and pepper these tasks throughout the weeks to make sure they cook properly.

Well, I don't have many ideas for new scripts or adaptations or ports so I'm letting people post suggestions here or sending them via PM. I won't reply back, this is not about that. I'll simply pick what seems to be the most rewarding or the easiest request. If it's easy, I'll post it on the forum for free. Yeah, you'd be able to use it without worrying about paying a dime. I'd just ask you to either credit me in your credits scene and TXT file and send me a copy of your game. Gamer I'd love to play it.

I don't need any hater or critic pretending to sound wise because he or she wanna start ranting or complain about me or anything else. You gotta know I'll just ignore them.

Kyonides, I'm a bit behind in RPG Maker world, but do the Ruby engines have a good profiler? You could either write a profiler from scratch or see if you can get Ruby Prof to work with RGSS*.

I just got a new stylus from Staples!

^This is the tiny draft version of my Sasquatch / Golemn enemy, and the red square represents the size of a standard hero sprite. Standing roughly 2.5x the size of a standard hero (32x64 or so), the enemy's bounding dimensions are roughly 160x224. Due to the size difference between the standard hero and the animated enemy, all of it's attacks are focused very low. A handful of different enemies (Big Foot, Sasquatch, various Golemns) will be made from this animation template and their intimate design details will vary beyond just simple recoloring.

The same can be said about the dog named Shadow in the post above; I've got 4 different designs that would use the same base template to make a few different dog/wolf type enemies, but the sprite compositions themselves would change slightly beyond just re-coloring. As such, the Wolf type enemies would most likely have a much hairier neck, thicker limbs, exposed claws and a bushy tail. Shadow herself actually has 4 radically different two-tone patterns from the one posted above, one where half her face is white, another which has more white than black, then I have the black / brown Doberman Pincer design with a stubby tail.

ROFL. Laughing   At first, I thought that was a REACTION shot of you beating up your tablet after being disappointed in your Staples purchase!  


Nearly done... per-say... working out the left-handed female Half-Kaisers template.  But I have a much larger project that is slowing my efforts down.  It is very much forum related and cannot go into detail on that front.  But I have hopes to get something uploaded hopefully soon.

Nah, the Staples purchase was great! With a cheap dollar store stylus, all one can do is henpeck the screen because doing a smooth swipe absolutely obliterates the rubber tip instantly. However, with the Staples brand stylus, not only can I do smooth swipes but I can even grab and drag the corner of an image without having to plug in a mouse.

So I need to name this Princess character...

Princess #2 (Quick Sketch)
Princess #2 (Rough Flats Color)
Princess #2 (Beta Shading)
Princess #2 (Almost Done)


Stats & Bio
Reference

I've copied the text from the documentation because it may or may not be relevant to whatever her name may be. Currently I'm using her codename "Peach" within the writing of Scenario Plots, but she'll need a different legal name. She may be "white" but her nation resembles either that of kingdom of Jordan or perhaps Spain / Catalonia.

Other than that, I'm heading back to the Animations department because I've got monsters to draw!  Grinning

She looks older than 25 years old unless she's... Thinking whatchamacallit... chubby? Confused

Kain Nobel Wrote:There are no indications that any of these wild theories are true, other than the fact that the news of her going missing was treated lower than the national weather report.

As for the Myranian lover boy? An international coalition has monitored a young Chilkadian lad named Clover, a young former servant to the Herian crown, but have failed to find any indication (beyond theories) that he has any link to her disappearance.

All this Rumor rumor stuff made me think her story sounds similar to the story of the infamous mystic Wizard Rasputin himself. Laughing

I can't believe you called my character old and fat lmao.

Princess #2 (Finished)

[Image: Princess.png]

OK I'm done wrestling with the pixels, this is pretty much "done". I mean, I might go back in, smooth out / reshade the neck, fix the teeth up a little bit but other than that I won't be posting the updates.

If anybody thinks of a good name, I'm all ears. Well, I do have a name but I'm open to other suggestions. The surname Hera is non-negotiable due to her lineage.

The current name I've come up with is Princess Catalina De Hera; the name Catalina was inspired by the Catalonians of Spain. The surname Hera is not only the Kingdom's name, but it's a reference to the wife of Zeus (Greek Mythology).

He is the King of Hera and also grandfather to Princess Catalina De Hera.

Brief Bio

So that makes the werewolf king, the king's bodyguard, and the granddaughter princess who is believed to have ran off with Clover. I have no idea what Clover will look like, but naturally he has to have some green. I'm thinking Caucasian/Hispanic looking, brown hair, green eyes, forest camo jeans, black utility belt, black shirt with a bomber jacket, brown boots. Male template 2 (semi-athletic).

[Image: King-Victor.gif][Image: Jack-Johnson.png][Image: Princess.png]

I'm just knocking items off the checklist! :D

The next tasks will be...
  • King's battler sprite sheet (normal).
  • King's battler sprite sheet (transformed).
  • Jack's battler sprite sheet.
  • Catalina's battler sprite sheet.
  • Geki and Freki's sprite sheet.

I have most of the template frames needed for the male and female human sprites, Geki and Freki will be a semi-dramatic alter of the Shadow dog sprite. I think for the two dogs, I'm going to make one have a wider body and differently proportioned legs than the other. Since they're "Basilisk" hounds, I'll probably incorporate some lizard element mixed with the fur. Otherwise, their two-tone color pattern (black and white) will have unique spots from one another. The King (transformed) is the only one I'll have to do from semi-scratch.

WOW! I just gotta say two things...

  1. I swear by these Staples styluses! I got 3 for like $13, or you can buy one for $10. Worth every penny. Don't use the cheap dollar store crap, you can't swipe, it will break.
  2. The scaling algorithm for this site is cutting edge! What you're seeing of my images aren't true pixel, it's massaged by the scaler, so it looks 100% better than the real thing. If you right-click and view image in new tab though you should see all the raw pixels. I'll see if I can use this forms scaler to downsize the renders and maintain the same limited color palette. Todo, todo, todo... :o

Has anyone tried out that RPG Maker Unite thingy?
It has horrible reviews on the Unity Asset store so I wonder if they are right.
I was really interested in it, but it seems to be another flop?
Reply }
You mean the one that costs you $100 upfront?
Sarcasm Nah, I'll give other people the chance to test it for me. Plus, I've never been a fan of Unity because they're famous (or infamous) for collecting your personal data every single time you install any game made in Unity, and I suppose its derivatives do that as well.

Yeah, that's sad because I know some people love some games made with that platform. Confused
