People now are so used to fluid movements and don't look back on the old days where games had two different walking sprites. These actually have the same amount as the classic body. These bods were made for the sole purpose of custom looks, and to go back now would require revamping the hundreds of clothes sprites. It can be done, but only if it really matters.

Well the problem with that is the classic bodies are not meant to look and move realistic. They're supposed to have that comicy non-proportional look.

I get the feeling you would want yours to be realistic, so I commented that they need improvement. That sucks you did a whole bunch of clothes sprites but if you should have perfected something before moving on to additions to it.

Maybe it's not a big thing in the end, but I dislike them a lot and it would bother me to the point of not playing the server because of it.

Then it is a big issue, and if we would lose players because of it they will be redone.

The house outsides need work, better color choices please.

Heres something interesting...
These are pics from our most popular time, Atrius 1. The previous pics are from Atrius 3 (current). No, we didn't skip 2, and 2 was indefinitely better than 1 but wasn't near as popular, because era was slowly coming back during that time. During peak hours we would have anywhere from 30-50 players, and our maxplayers log hit 60. Hold on, you might die laughing at the pics.

The simple truth about the Atrius bodies is that they look like walking corpses.
Elbows and legs need to bend more and look less like the player's character is embalmed.

Oh yea, i think the whole custom character thing looks bad. It doesnt even look graal. The classic ones are better.

[smurfmidgetninja]

its all a matter of opinion...I really don't like the classic bodies but I dont ***** at Stefan to change them....The Atrius bodies arn't perfect but they look pretty cool.

The tiles are decent but for the bodies you might want to look at your, and other peoples bodies to see how the shading and movement work. Gani's for bodies could be so much better.
