Two things:
1) No walking cycle for baddies?
2) Like flam said, sprites for weapons need to be spaced as gani editor can only split images into squares or rectangles. Some of the sword images are overlapping which makes for very bad gani'ing.

Everything still looks beautiful though. :)

I love this. I'm not sure if you saw one of my previous posts on this thread but I said before that you should somehow create a Brand New Baddie. I would like to see it and it would make the server different aside from the jello-like baddies we've seen before. :)

Lovely baddies, great work Vinka! (But when do you not post great work?)

But what patrick said, new baddies. Something we haven´t seen before, that be really good, unique baddies! But I am sure that will come, haha.

You always succeed to surprise me in each post you make, mahaaah!

^ Agreed. :D

To be fair, pretty graphics will only hold attention for so long. Unless they do something, not much to keep players around.

I agree, it seems the baddies don't have images for movement? They seem to be able to attack and get attacked, but they lack the sprite that would imply movement.

Also, if you tried to gani that sword image like the Flame and Jazz have said, you would get one sword image and part of another sword image in a gani which would not look good at all.

I was also thinking that it was too early for Europa to be hosted anyway, because although yes you have done very much and have a wonderful staff team under your belt, there's only one level that players see. I would think to be hosted that you practically have to have everything done. Also, it's the scripts/systems that would really wow players (Which I know your staff will create awesome ones). O: I just come to this thread often and see "WOW VINKA REALLY AMAZING". Okay we get it lol. :) Keep it up though.

I don't agree. If europa keeps developing at this rate, we could have a fantastic server withing the next month.

I see, I'll try to spacen the sprite up a bit. Thanks for letting me know :).


Ha, how did I not see this coming?

Yeah, I realised that just right after posting it and working on them for 2-3 hours straight x_x

Thanks, but like I said I need to create the basics in order to meet the requirements for Hosted, and that is my current goal. And don't worry I definitly have some cool ideas for baddies noone has seen on Graal. :)

Obviously. I don't need an active playerbase when it's under development. That is what Hosted is for, exposure - so people know we exist and potential developers would find out we're not just 'another playerworld'.

Yes and no, most of the scripts are already in place. They're just not implemented in the levels yet.

I hope this is better:

I'll try to find a solution to the blob sprites without doing them from scratch again.

Got it.

The blob will be moving by making small jumps, it gets pressed in upon landing.

Cute :P

Remember Zelda Link's Awakening where the blob baddies would divide into 3? You could do the same here - perhaps only for some of the colours though - like red could split into 3 smaller blobs, yellow into two or something else. It'd be neat if each different colour did something else. One could also warp into the other, so purple could become blue another could flash before dying and then explode, so you need to move away after killing it etc...

very easy to do too- I used a zoom effect to achive this on Era iPhone :)

Great idea!

Great! Can't wait to take time off my little project to play. :D!

And I believe in Zelda Windwaker (*shutters*) there were yellow blobs that would actually electrocute you if you used a sword on it. You needed to project something at it first to stun it (ex: boomerang, arrow, bush, bomb) and then finish it off with sword.

Okay.. The reason for your shutter was obviously because of the horror of the yellow blobs.... Right?

I repeat :) Dying to know.

Obviously at the yellow blobs, and not at the fact that Windwaker was a disgrace to the Zelda franchise!


Dem scary blobs bro.

Nog niet zo veel aan gedaan laatste tijd.. ik post later wel een uitgebreid verhaal :)





Working on some inside decoration...zzzzzzzz

Evan. I don't think we can be friends anymore.

:(

*gasp*

why u b spaming vinkas golden thead wit nonsense HUH

I think you should change the windows to be one color verses 4 colors in 4 different window panes. O: I like the chairs, but that's why you post stuff here, for help! :3 I like the window on the top, but then again since I'm sure the auction house is a colorful place then never mind. :D!

Sorry Vinka, but you need to close this thread and make a new one, we can't have these guys bashing my boy Wind Waker




also super cute slimes

Yeah, I love the Wind Waker.
I am furious !!!

Where is Darlene when you need her..? :\



just the posts, not the thread!

Racking up her deleted posts count no doubt.

Also, I have been working long and hard and made a 3 part theme for Europa. Here it is guys.

(Sorry the file size is so big. It's well worth the wait though.)

Here are some smaller files.

Wow Emera, stop taking the spotlight.. :/

J/K I absolutely love your work! You're very talented :)

Thanks for the contribution.

Does the spotlight say VINKAS spotlight? No it says EMERAS spotlight. Lolz jk jk thanks vinks.

:I *watches* So nice Emera

Its all very original, but the graphics remind me a bit of maplestory xD just the style

Yeah I get that alot :rolleyes:

I guess it's something original for Graal.

^ Never played maple story, therefore never thought of it because Graal is better to me compared to the very 2D graphics. (: I don't know how to say this but If I were talking to one of my girlfriends I'd say "YOU GO GIRL!".

How many girlfriends do you got, ya hallick!

I've spent the entire night writing what I had wanted to do for a long, long time.

You can read it by clicking the image in my signature.

You have the artistic perception of a downs kid then.

I'm so sorry you had to hear that more than once.

Who would've thought adding a bright smear inside of a circle was trademarked by Nexon?

Heh, I don't really mind though. It just means that my graphic design style reminds them of Maplestory. Which in my book is a big compliment. :)
