[RC] Wisp monster
[RC] Wisp monster
I noticed a wisp monster in Aethyra which is basically a glowing ball floating in the air. A simple yet effective idea to do a monster. But their execution of it was in fact a bit too simple for my taste. So I said to myself: I can do better than that. So here is the wisp I created:

- former TMW Pixel artist
- NOT a game master

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Seems good. What about testing on Enigma?

This will probably need to wait for the next open test period.Shaili (a.k.a. tds) wrote:Seems good. What about testing on Enigma?
Good work as always, Crush.
Re: [RC] Wisp monster
Awesome Mr. Crush! I've been wanting to see this on TMW ever since I saw it on Aethyra (but not as over-used as they had it, which [and I'm not flaming them] made me not give them a serious try. Then again, if it's using the particle engine, it'll likely not be over-used.)
It's not only a monster sprite, it also adds to the magical ambiance!

Re: [RC] Wisp monster
Anyway, the Wisp need stats and drops. But it's also the wrong place to talk about.
Re: [RC] Wisp monster
That's why I split the stat discussion to the content development forum.

Re: [RC] Wisp monster
The monster looks as if it is made of plasma, or ionized gas. Perhaps it could attack with a fire or flaming particle effect?
Lazy bum.
Re: [RC] Wisp monster
I made a quick sketch of my idea of a wisp.

Re: [RC] Wisp monster
Yeah, that's definitely better variation than recoloring slimes.
This message used to be meaningful.
Re: [RC] Wisp monster
Here is something I have so far. Making it a gif animation is impossible because it is completely transparent. It looks quite bad on light background

Cool new monster
Re: [RC] Wisp monster
I teased Crush about this when I found out about his version, so most of what I felt needed to be said about it has been expressed already to him.
I like what Crush and Haay have done with the idea, taking it from what I came up with, simplifying, and modifying it to be reasonably different from the original, and hope that your players enjoy it as much as I do.
