Nice. You could not make the drake's wings look so rough though, compared to the rest of its body.

Pawidge: I'm not sure about the head on the skeleton, but the tiny sprite version is awesome. On the beholder battle image, I think the shadow color could be lighter. Then again, maybe we just need to see these things on some nice backgrounds??? Your drake is probably the best. Nice texturing. The vampire is also very slick, and the small sprite resembles it very well. I prefer the animated small beholder type monster to the large one.. maybe it's the warmer coloring.


pixel32, your character has too many colors. It should be 3 colors + 1 transparent. It's a good design, though.

Improvements to the two Pep mentioned.





Darion: About the drake's wings, I tried removing the dithering, but that didn't look very good on the relatively large space, so I just left it there.

Is there anyone else working on this challenge? It was pretty fun to do and I'm feeling lonely in this thread... :'(

Well I don't have much free time anymore, but I managed to get this done today. The battle system is heavily influenced by Star Ocean, only without the mindless AI teammates that use their skills when you least need them and watch you die when you do.



They're very eager slimes.

[edit] Now with interface. The gem guage is like the PB blast in PSO, but you can equip different gems to give your sword different skills. When it fills up, your TP guage is activated and you can use skills until drained, kind of like in Ys VI. It rises as you fight and won't disappear after battle, so you can decide to waste your skills on silly slimes or save it for the boss. (Naturally it should reset when you leave the dungeon area).
