I won’t be available during the weekend to post for Gruedorf, but I decided to try my hands at doing a planet. I did this just for fun and to learn. Inspired by Ustor’s Gruedorf project, I also looked to see how it would look in a screen shot of his game. Looks good, but I think I should probably tweak the planet glow. I am planning to try to make a star and also a space scenery. Lately I been having this huge artistic urge, yesterday tried to learn to make some new type of textures for Eldritch’s engine (marble, grass, statues).
So I am still working on the update that was supposed to be for last Saturday. It is hard to be a perfectionist. Lol. Anyway, since I had some pieces of art I won’t use anymore, I thought I could show you guys while you wait for the official update I had planned.
So originally, I was going to have static enemy art in the battle engine and animated playable character. You can see the mock-up below, ignore the badly colored frog monsters.
However, after I decided some points of the game mechanics, I decided it would be best to not have the playable character show up and instead have static avatar images of them. This decision came after I made a test animation with the angle I was planning to work with.
This was a character using a long range ability. It could be better, but overall I was happy with it.
Anyway, this is a little snack until I finish last week’s update.
Something next week? Maybe… Possibly… We’ll see...
Funny thing, I actually did some work last week but was too busy(or lazy?) to update the blog. In any case, I drew an icicle to be used for attacks in battle. Thing is, I have two types of color schemes which I am undecided on. Moreover, I am using border for characters and enemies and was wondering if I should do the same with attack arts. This is where I need the help of you loyal readers. Please pick your favorite icicle from the selection below. =)
Here is my first attempt at a battle background for the game. This one is on the deck of a ship. Busy, busy, busy. Cya next week.
