I really like the new sprite style, Tenshi. Looks pro. If you can get the enemy and background art looking that good, your game is going to fall into the eye-candy category.
I'm hoping that your RPG is going to be cross-platform. I've been seeing screenshots and posts about your game for quite a while, and I'd like to check it out when it's complete. _________________ Visit the Sacraments web site to play the game and read articles about its development.

I've got nothing personal against you. I'm glad that you've put so much thought into your character's outfits, and I like the idea of the protective bracelets. See, that makes sense.
I am actually curious about your opinion on this. It's something I've thought about a lot too - though maybe I could have worded myself with a little more care...

Though, wouldn't a fitted set of strategically-placed plate mail covering various vital regions but sparse enough to avoid weighting down the character and hindering movement/getting tangled in loose clothing be more practical than just plain unprotective loose clothing? These characters are going into battle, after all, not to some fancy dance.
But no, no, let's not beat a dead horse... 'Sides, nothing wrong with showing a little leg, worked fine for the film noir genre. ;) _________________ Endless Saga

MMM. Armflesh.
I remember Noadi. Didn't she use to post around here for a little bit? I remember that she was working on an RPG. Is there a website or something? I remember being very impressed with her art. _________________ "Well, last time I flicked on a lighter, I'm pretty sure I didn't create a black hole."-

Noadi's website is
http://diona.tk
She has been doing a lot of "other" art these days, like sculpting and painting. If you catch her on the #Pixelation channel (Sorcery.net) you'll most likely see her doing that.

Plate mail is completely impractical in the timeline that my universe originates. In my "actual" story characters with plate mail are at a severe disadvantage against energy weapons (which are the staple of most Sci-fi storylines). I do have races that do use kinetic weaponry and as such plate mail would work for them, but the majority of my characters wear padded clothing, and are as such at high risk for injury or death. The concept of body armor is also stressed , but again, I turn more towards weaving techniques and ceramics, which are much more plausible in terms of electromagnetic protection.
I am willing to debate any aspect of anything down to the finest detail (though this game is somewhat abstracted from the universe the characters originate from), but I will only do it if my 'opponent' is serious.

- I'm using Dev-C++, coding ISO-standard and using OpenGL and I'm half-assedly looking into a cross-platform module-playing sound library so yes, the goal is cross-platform capability. _________________ - Jaeda

I had a very serious point when I made that post. Namely, without knowing anything else about the character, without knowing anything about the gameplay, without even looking at the game in real-time, with only looking at a couple of screenshots of a silly looking character, I formed an opinion about the game. And found it lacking! Hmm... I wonder where I have seen that activity before... _________________ "...LeoDraco is a pompus git..." -- Mandrake

- If you're attempting to compare "I see arm flesh = not practical" to "unsupported free-floating breasts or usage of bikinis on females vs. full combat armor on males in same-situation" then you're nothing but a tool. Not to mention you didn't even attempt to create a context, whereas I always do. If you're going to try and mock me, try and do it right, 'cause seriously, you're pathetic.

Sounds as if that hit a little close to home. The only pathetic person I see around here is the one whom cannot even write a paragraph without, for some inexplicable reason, prepending it with a hyphen. I draw a comparison, without even directly pointing my digital fingers at anyone, and you, Tenshi, got the point. What context is needed there?
However, to humour you: every single video game (character) design I have seen you attack has been based, on your part, solely upon screenshots or images that (half the time) don't even appear in the game. If that's not the activity of a tool, I don't know what is... _________________ "...LeoDraco is a pompus git..." -- Mandrake

- I hate being misquoted. It annoys me greatly when people think they are immitating me, and then don't even get it right. But nice try with the "if the shoe fits, wear it" after all, it's only an art critique thread, no one would really come into someone else's art thread and attack someone else outright. So, unless you're really one of those people, don't try it. Again, you misquoted my argument, and I hate that. That's like saying someone who is "pro-choice" directly states that they believe in the mindless slaughter of any human being.
LeoDraco wrote: | The only pathetic person I see around here is the one whom cannot even write a paragraph without, for some inexplicable reason, prepending it with a hyphen. |
- Many forums perform a Trim function to remove excessive spacing from the beginning and ends of paragraphs. I use them as a form of indention to get around that. It doesn't always work. Needless to say, paragraphs are generally indented, and since yours aren't, I don't think you should attempt to talk to me about paragraph structure.
LeoDraco wrote: | What context is needed there? |
- The context in which the statement you are making is deemed correct. Right now you are making no context. My context is always based around that of the game. You made none. "not practical" for what? - Exactly, you have no "what."
LeoDraco wrote: | every single video game (character) design I have seen you attack has been based, on your part, solely upon screenshots or images that (half the time) don't even appear in the game |
- This will be fun. Show one case (which should be easy, since according to you I'm wrong 50% of the time) that has happened. Please do. I want to see this. You should (according to your statistics) be able to come up with at LEAST 10 or more, but I'm going to make it real easy on you and just post one. But more than one is welcome.
RuneLancer wrote: | After all, the internet is Serious Business |
- And I don't feel "forced" to resort to anything. Oh, and the I in "Internet" is supposed to be capitalized. After all, it's "Serious business." You might want a refund.
- Incidentally:
serious (adj.) - requiring much thought or work; earnest, devoted.
- Anything I "attack" is based off of years of research and other forms of information gathering. I'm "serious." A drive-by one-liner without any qualifying information or supporting statements is not "serious." After your refund keep in mind that this machine is 'nickels, quarters, and dimes only.'

What I love about message boards is how there's always this one person who'll pick fights, end up having half of the board against them, then resort to picking on others' spelling when they'll run out of options.
By the way, kiddo: paragraphs don't start with a hyphen either. It's just as much a patch as ignoring the issue. ;) Don't sweat it. Nobody's life is going to end over 2 bytes of pre-textual content every time you hit enter. _________________ Endless Saga

- I'm far from out of options. And read the thread. *I* didn't start anything. I made a post with my sprite data, and people (including yourself) came here and picked a fight with me. Your story might have had validity had you tried it on the other board (but not so much really, since from pages 2 - 4 I am benign), but since you're doing it in my sprite thread, in which my post was non-targetted, it is you who are the trouble-makers, not I. (oops)

- I prefer indentation. It's my preference. But do not fret, Pot, for I'm sure you will find more options eventually so that you don't have to attack my paragraph structuring. (oops)

Don't you mean 4: \r\n + '- ' or possibly 8 if it's unicode? ;) _________________ - Jaeda

The bulk of my post took into consideration the GTA thread, which serves as a precursor to this thread (ie, you exposing your opinion on scanitly-clad female characters and getting into an argument over it, then posting a thread with female characters wearing very, very short shorts under what's basically a big loincloth.)
I think it would be quite appreciated if you'd climb down from your high and mighty perch and stop trying to pass yourself off as a "serious" and mature debater if your means of debating are to nitpick on points irrelevant to the subject and following up, rather childishly might I add, every paragraph with "oops!" We do that in preschool, kiddo. :)
Isn't this thread about character sprites, anyways? Aside from two screenshots, this thread plunged into what now seems to be an irrecoverable flame war. Perhaps setting it back on track and letting this ridiculous issue go would be a better show of maturity than debating the proper way to indent a paragraph? I don't think anyone cares, frankly... _________________ Endless Saga
