I had a hunch something looked off about that boss. :o

For the hurt pose, I'd portray them as wincing. To do that, I'd have them grimace (as in the moment) in addition to perhaps leaning forward a bit in order to make it more clear. Only have them keep completely still if it fits within their personalities.

For their falling pose, I'd portray them as if they were moving downwards, with the weight being on the lower part of their bodies. Their hair may also lift up.

I'll see if I can try to make Invidia lean forward; as for Nemesis, that would be difficult given that Heavy Press' only sprites are: normal; falling/eye opening; damage

ASM hacking would be required to add more, if I'm not mistaken.

... though, I've lost motivation, so... we'll see.

There's no doubt that it's undeniable that these two characters are uncertified badasses.
(Then again, Lavitka Horton is even more of a badass to be able to defeat these two while she was blind and they were using their full power. At least, that's apparently what Kim has written down in her "dialogue between four characters" - Serenity, Ilina and these two.)

Who am I talking about? Two post-Aidan bosses. Yes, they use an Aura. Deal with it. 8-)

If you don't want to take a Critical Hit from spoilers, avoid hovering over them. :P

So, what'd'y'all think?
Concerning phrase two: When mimicking Muscle Doctor's tackling attack, wouldn't it make more sense for Invidia to be leaning forwards instead of back?

Also, might want to work on Nemesis' poses to make it seem more like they're intending to their actions. Unless they're intended to be frozen in place, of course.

You should always think of the context of each sprite. It's a lot like acting in this regard.

A Celestial Aura, at that.

… but an attack that deals 100 points of damage? That's going to leave a mark :o

And due to Shane's inactivity I'm rather stressed, to be honest...
Anyway, new keyboard, so yeah. Technical issue isn't as bad.

I'm not working a lot on the mod as before, though the little things I do are enough to be considered "minor progress". Like cutscenes. Cutscenes are minor progress, compared to boss fights and new areas.
Title: Re: Sprites (slight spoilers)
Post by: Dianke on 26 February 2015, 23:34:56
In Shane's case, it's more of a country-wide problem, as South Africa has had an electricity crisis since last year, apparently. Shane also has financial problems now and then.

My sister's planning on getting a new keyboard for Kim soon, though, so Kim's technical issues will not be as bad. (Replacing a keyboard is easier than replacing a motherboard, I would assume.)

(And hope Kim replaces her keyboard since it no longer works. Kim will most likely have to use an on-screen keyboard until then...)

What's up with all those technical problems? Shane, Luna and now Kim. God damn it :(

I will work on the sprites of the final boss.

Search on Wikipedia and you'll find out.
I would just post the name, but at the risk of Shane freaking out if he were to read it (since it falls under one of his many phobias).

While I'm not sure what weapon you're talking about, definitely not to be confused with that.

It's just you.


Didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. :o
It's a bit light, may have to darken it slightly to make it easier to notice.

"VX" would stand for "Valkyrie X", which is the file name of that sprite sheet.
Title: Re: Sprites (slight spoilers)
Post by: Lunaris on 09 February 2015, 19:12:25
Is it just me or is there a "VX" on the hatch of Valkyrie?
And isn't there a (Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL-styled) Greek letter (Epsilon, to be exact) on it, as well?
Or am I imagining things? :o

Regardless, both Valkyrie and the puzzle blocks look interesting :)

The puzzle looks pretty nice. It's way better than 123…0. And Valkirie's first form looks quite good. Nice job Dianke.
Thank you. :))

Aside from Kim using the 1 - 0 tiles for testing, I asked her if it could be used in the musical terminal map of the mod; she is okay with that.
So basically Moonsong will be at 25, Adventure Island IV's Crystal Stage theme at 02, and so on.

(The guy who transcribed the latter should get a medal or three. :3 )

Some things I did.

These blocks will appear in the Servant Quarters rooms.
From left to right:
They will be used for a puzzle of some kind. What puzzle, you may ask? Sorry, I cannot tell you. Mainly because I myself do not know.

A frenzied Mimiga, or a failed experiment?
Considering the mod is *currently* unrelated to Cave Story... a failed experiment would be most likely.

Anyway, while I think the sprites look neat, what is with that whitish stuff next to the elder abomination witch in the top sheet?
From the NpcMiza sprite sheet. Unused, not sure what it would have been for. Perhaps a spell projectile that went in eight directions?

(http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/lunarshadowcs/0/1-010215164903-2125.bmp)The young witch, along with the older witch, some bats and a frenzied Mimiga.
The final colors of the bats are currently undecided, since the Top Floor area has no tileset as of yet. (I'll work on that when I have to start working on the area, though.)

(http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/lunarshadowcs/0/1-010215164903-22585.bmp)The elder witch. She basically hits people with her staff and uses magic.

The aura sprites are really nice. And about that straw hat in all honesty I can't imagine it other way so it's OK.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a cloak.

Xyz's second form, along with some frenzied Mimiga and those Labyrinth M foes.

I would post the sprites for an Ending Boss, but I haven't done those yet due to working on that <BOA guide.


Xyz's second form may look weird, but I tried, at least. :)
Xyz's first form is also slightly updated; one of its eyes open differently than in previous versions.


(Yeah, Xyz gets a new form because my sister complained it is far too easy. Xyz doesn't even stand a chance.)

Hats in general are my weakness, it seems :o

(http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/lunarshadowcs/0/1-290115012201-762.png)

Meet the Maid Bot.
They will be common enemies within the Servant Quarters, though their appearance might vary. (After all, the Master of the Castle might get confused.)
At the moment, until I finish up to that area, the Maid Bot will have ? HP and ? XP.

It will have far less than 19200 HP * (and less than 100 HP), but somewhat more than 20 HP, though.

Dianke (my friend who was recently hospitalized due to depression-related reasons) suggested that they be gas-masked and thus reference the maids from .flow, but I immediately said "NO".

*The 19200 HP thing: my ex had a mod where the Curly boss's replacement had 19200 HP. It took forever to beat even with an overpowered level 3 Fireball ("Ice Ball").


The next sprites I'll be posting is most likely Xyz's second form sprites (it has less HP, of course) and most likely one of the many Ending Bosses (there are three; they determine which ending is obtained as well as a Tower-area room).

Just look at that girl with that hat.
That straw hat doesn't even look like a straw hat.
Though, that might be just me.

Perhaps I ought to post her sprite sheet (or what little exists of it) soon, if I try again with her hat.
