" expanding the player set" ---is in need for sure ...and would love to see it done...Wombat wrote:icon needs to be 32x32 for it. The hilt will have to be a crafting quest to make, which is good since it will require another step to make the sword.
From what I can tell, most artists right now would prefer to move forward without expanding the player set. I'd like to have some thoughts on it. There does seem to be a way to do a "slashing" animation without new frames, but it isn't very pretty.
The animation seems backwards for the weapon, not sure if that is the intention of the weapon. If the current artists would rather work around the lack of slashing animation instead, that is okay, but I'd like to know how everyone feels since it was meant to be a priority after we got done with this series of releases we are working on now.
there seems to be a lots already working on it ...and is over see by lots of people (dose not seem like a friendly place for a noob artiest like myself to try to help or get Involved)..that being said im probley more use with the things that are "added to game" like monsters and items [a bad idea done good is better then a good idea done bad or not done at all]....
so ill keep working with what i have..(and help fix everything to the new frames)
ok the sword...if we keep at it and take our time to do it right ...i truly believe we can come up with i good looking 1 handed slash attack ....
the question is how can it look like the player is "flicking" there wrist down with the swing.......im post here 1 why i think it can be done and thats by covering the hand with the hilt to "hide the hand"....this is a dirty trick but it may work for now...i shorten the blade and change the hilt for now(i loved the other one and may use it but for now us i play with it, its hard to fit the way in my head)..the blade works grate(imo) ....its just a matter of finding the sweet spot ....
one thing i was thinking mite help is some movement lines as it comes down and brakes the air......tell me what you think on this Wombat, nmaligec,or any one that wants to speak up...this will be tricky but worth it imo....
thanks agen nmaligec for the parts (saved me weeks if i was to try )and as always feel free to bend ,twist ,dismantle any thing you see that i put up...you may see what i don't
now sleep .........maybe-------------------------skipy
(this is only a look at possible ways of fitting)
