Soul Seeker: Not much is known of them but they have records of them being able to control souls and use them in combat in various ways.
Umbra: Shapeless creatures that can form into anything they wish....the only way you can tell that an object or thing is an Umbra is due to the complete darkness of their appearance.
Storyline: About 10,000 years ago there was a great war. The war decided who was going to rule over the world, the Soul Seekers or the Umbra. These were the two major powers of the world at the time. Both of them used other smaller races for their needs but the Umbra considered them slaves. The Soul Seekers lived in harmony with the other races and they helped each other out. During the Great War the separate powers also used the other races to aid them in battle. The battle was beyond destructive. It ruined much of the rich land and destroyed monuments due to the battles. Many artifacts of the races and their history were lost in this war. Due to that not much is known of either of these races. It is said that the Soul Seekers emerged victorious over the Umbra and that the Umbra were banished from this realm never to walk on the world’s surface again.
Now, in the present day, neither race is among the living. But it is said that one day a Soul Seeker would be found and that he would help the world vanquish the Umbra and banish them again if they were to ever come back. So far it’s been 2,000 years since the last Soul Seeker was recorded but there have been no actual records of appearance of a Soul Seeker or Umbra. With that said Soul Seekers could be walking among us without us knowing just waiting for the day that the Umbra would return so that they can vanquish them and make sure the world is safe from their evil yet again.

Also, the heavy outlines you used on the overworld character sprites make them look out of place. Maybe try using a coloured outline, or Selective Outlining. :3

Ahhh the Resolve system... well like a basic limit break you have a bar that fills up and once that bar fills up your attack command changes to Resolve! but thast not all.... once you press on resolve you have a time limit of how long you have to press the combination of buttons at the top. get it right.... and you do the move!.... run out of time and your resolve is wasted.
As you level up you get higher level resolves as well which have different and more difficult combinations.
Moosetroop:
Ive actually been thinking of other perks i can add to doing the Insane mode besides different ending.
Im thinkin about adding a new character and one more level of Resolve per person
Any more ideas id be more then happy to hear em anyone

Having seen this game evolve from it's humble beginning to this day, I can say that it's still is an amazing game. I'm not sure about your new dialog system, it seems way too big to me. To me. Everything else is better than I remembered so all I have to say is that I hope to hear from you soon :P

Yea mine just target one person.... you do it in the battle events you hafta make a page per enemy and say "If Lizard is Picked" use resolve... next page "If Boar Picked" Use Resolve..... etc. etc.But what command are you using so you can target to begin with? The only way I can think of to do that is by making it a form of the "Attack" command, and that doesn't work for what I want to do...

yeaa my way is my Resolve command is a type of attack

Because the chars are now much more detailed, it's painfully obvious that all the characters have the same face. They definately all look like clones, and I think that'll be weird once it comes to the battles.
I was thinking maybe you could edit each of the faces and give them a bit more of their own personality. That's just my opinion, though.
Kinda like this, but, you know. Better.

Its got a real clean look to it.
Id maybe add a bit of shading to the battle sprites eyes to show the eyebrow a bit more.
Also, Ive started the bases of the Big template, and a more feminine female set. theyre in the gallery if you want to check the progress, But theyre still pretty bare bones. I get three days off this week, so Im thinking Ill be done them then, or Sunday at the latest

I like the bodies better, but the faces dont sit right with me. I think you may need to try to alter the heads to look a bit more like the previous versions. If the Eyes were elongated downward by on vertical pixel, and the mouths were shifted lower on the heads, i think it would look nicer. Aside from that Im diggin it though
Ahhh i seee where your coming from lol but they have no mouths.... those are their noses!!

Post by: InsaneJP on July 16, 2008, 12:00:30 AM
They look good but as a personal opinion, they all have a leaning back "you lookin at me" kind of pose. Wemon aren't really bulky but fragile. And templates are nice BUT not every person looks alike. The girl has muscles as big as the men. Just a personal opinion though.
Dont worry! these are just base poses.... i havent done any poses for them yet i just wanted to see if anyone liked the style.... im gunna fix all that :-P

Woah. I thought they were the mouths too. I thought you'd given them massive chins XD
XD ok i gotta figure this out lol no nose OR no mouth
I might give it a try on my next game. I've already souped up some old battlechars I found and I think they fit in nicely with my game. But to fix the nose problem I would just add a dot at the end to extend them.

Ahhh i COULD do that one dot thing but they arent completely sideways so i cant really do that... it looks wierd

Comparing the faces to the sprites you got there, I'd say to just get rid of the nose line and make the eyes bigger. That way, the face pic's will match the sprites more stylistically.
YES!!! lol that makes sense thanx man :-)

I like the simple nose and new style,it works good but be sure
to compare them to your other enemies first,just because they
look good fighting that one dosn't mean they will look that way when
fighting enemies smaller than them or biger than them.
Post by: InsaneJP on July 16, 2008, 06:12:48 PM
Just like I said before I like the eyes smaller but still nice. What I think would help the girl look more feminan would be a londger dress, smaller fists, and mabey the breasts are a bit too emphasized. PM me if you want and I'll edit her and show you what I mean.
Im actually gunan use a new templete for her so ill be posting that too!
I must admit they look much better than the gaint BC's lol

The poses are all yours. Allthough, I wouldnt mind having a glimpse of the sheets of these flashy moves you speak of....strictly for the sake of examination.
The master sheet in the template thread will probably help you. Ive made some additional torsoes as well in case you get into the mood for making big boobed giant women, Or fat people. Ill be posting the add-ons later today.

PERSONALLY I think they dont fit too well. They just seem like they're too tall. But thats just my opinion. It's good to know you're still working on the game though. Aside from the sprites, the screen looks great. Keep it up! :)
how do they look to tall to you if they are the same size as the door they walk thru?

I'm impressed! From what I can remember this project was always good, but now you've not made it easy to wait for release. Keep up the good work.
I like the way you've decided to approach character design, but if you intend to make custom tall map chars you're going to have a lot of work on you. Well - that is if you intend to design all other NPCs in the game from base yourself.
When you have time why don't you release a teaser of sorts, show us the first 10 or 15 minutes of the game so we get a feel for it. ;)
