I second the F-Zero/Starfox crossover mentioned earlier and would like to add Metroid to that, as well.
I would also like to see an FE fighter in the future, especially done by ArcSys, but only if it isn't just Fateswakening Featuring Marth and Lyn.
Speaking of fighters, I would love to see more Nintendo-franchise-specific fighting games, like Mario or Kirby
no I'm not biased, or even a Nintendo vs. Capcom, but those seem less likely to happen. -
I'll probably watch some of the Youtube VODs when I get the chance. What was the total amount raised this time?
-
Impressed to see that BotW is already in an AGDQ and that they're doing something longer than "rush immediately to Ganon." Also nice to see more Fire Emblem and the LttP Randomizer.
-
Not too terribly surprising, as Nintendo has shown off Directs in January the past few years, but nice to have confirmation that it's coming.

For me, it's less hatred and more...irritation?, at how much attention they get.
I give Awakening the benefit that it did what it had to in order to either salvage the sales of the series or send it off with bang. It also helps that I enjoyed playing the game - heck, it's probably my most-played game on the 3DS. I was also initially excited to play the Fates games, but that quickly fell off for me. That being said, I'm not really sure if it was the games themselves or just being burnt out at the time, but regardless, I haven't sat down and played them since, instead going back to an older title and playing that through from start to finish.
My issue, then, is how much these two titles garner so much focus and attention in any media involving Fire Emblem. It's not because I hate them or think they're overrated, but rather that this amount of focus feels like there's an ignoring or eclipsing of the older titles, as if they don't exist or don't need to be acknowledged. Fortunately, there's been some effort in recent months to celebrate the entire series instead of a fraction of it.
I also don't like the increased focus on fanservice and self-inserts and the baggage
read: waifusthat comes with it, but for a different reason than most: it's starting to eclipse the core gameplay of the series. Like, if someone didn't know better, then back when many people were griping about the localization of Fates, said individual could be forgiven for thinking the game was a visual novel.I also noticed some people throwing "elitism" around as a reason, which I don't doubt is some people's reason, but it runs both ways; I've seen a number of people, both here and elsewhere, that won't give the other games in the series the time of day or even outright trash them because they aren't Awakening/Fates.

More Inklings. I tweaked the orange one a bit, then used that to make the green and Futaba variations.

I always love wandering into your thread, bud. Such great variety and creativity!
Think I prefer the noseless villager there, as the two pixel width for the nose kinda muddies up the detail of the eye.
Thank you! And I can see what you mean with the nose. I have a habit of cluttering smaller sprites like that.
That being said, here's a tweaked version that I made before seeing your post:
And here's a companion piece
The Inkling sprite is more a base for other ideas I have, so I want to make sure it looks correct before going ahead.

So, I've been playing a decent amount of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently, and I really like the design of the female Villager.
So I whipped this up real quick when I didn't have access to the internet.
-
The game looks both fun and interesting. I like the pseudo-3D levels and the flipping perspective. Definitely on the radar for me.
-
Pleasantly surprised with this E3. New Kirby game looks amazing with two of my favorite mechanics in the entire series returning, enjoying what's been shown of FE Warriors, incredibly hyped for Metroid Prime 4, glad to hear of a Metroid 2 remake (if only to rub it in people's faces after the past year's tantrums), and Super Mario Odyssey looks like it'll be fun.

You have a lot of really cool sprites! All your stuff looks pretty clean and detailed. New guy is cute, very big-headed. His cowlick seems a little extreme though.
Thank you! And the new guy was my attempt at a kinda chibi style, plus I wanted to exaggerate some of the features to practice making a full animation rather than just the single sprite.
2 hours ago, Capibarainspace said:I just stumbled upon this topic and I have to say I love your work. Especially the mini characters from May 2016, they are full of personality and flavour. Have you done more in that style?
I also like this style, the red coat girl would be my favourite character in whatever type of game she could be in, lol.
Thank you as well! And I have done a few more sprites with that style. I actually really like that set in particular, as I (someday) want to try and use it for an actual game.
The second style was my attempt at a style similar to the handheld Castlevania titles. Both the perspective and the designs were rather different to what I usually do, so I'm glad to hear that people like it.

A little sprite I made that I want to use as a base to practice spriting animations.

Quick questions involving Nintendo accounts.
Are they the same thing as the Nintendo Network IDs or something completely different? Is there a way to merge the two together? These may have been answered somewhere earlier in the thread but whatever. For the record, I haven't made a Nintendo account yet, and I feel there's no point in making one if I can just use the network ID.

Well, while we're on the subject of shrines:
I'm down to the last few (I want to say 5?) shrines in the game, but I'm getting frustrated at finding them. Can anybody point me in the direction of a walkthrough or a map of all the shrine locations?
-
I mean, Micaiah shares a name with a male prophet from the Bible, so a bit of logic-stretching can lead to Sanaki having an older brother.

No particular order:
Fire Emblem, Kirby, Persona, Legend of Zelda, Ace Attorney; with honorable mentions to Mario and Professor Layton.

Have you tried turning it off and turning it on again? As strange as this will sound, it's fixed nearly every software issue I've had with my phone.
Just tried right now, and it still booted me out. Could it possibly be due to data usage or something related?

Not really sure if this is the correct topic for this question, but I'd figure I'd ask here anyway.
Whenever I'm playing the game, it randomly exit me out of the game. It only takes a few minutes for it to start doing it and it seems to happen more frequently the longer it's played. Normally, it's only an inconvenience, but I just lost some arena progress due to it and I want to fix it before it happens again. Granted, I know next to nothing about tablets and smartphones, so the problem might be with the tablet that I use to play it, not too sure.
Again, I'm not sure if this is the right topic or not, but any help will be appreciated.

Honestly, from what we've seen of the game and what the devs have said, I'm highly inclined to believe this game will be a series reboot, what with how different the entire game is from the rest of the series, from the mechanics to the story, and how much the devs have emphasized a return to the form of the first game.
-
Anything in particular about the expression that you don't like? Too stern? Too boring?
Also:
Some minor tweak possibilities for this AoL upvamp style. The middle two feature some slight facial shading differences, with the bottom-middle working on a GBA color limit; and the right slightly changing the facial structure.
-
Finished sprites for this guy's revamp.
And another attempt at what the intended style for these characters is. Tried to go for a visual similar to Minish Cap.

Sprite haul!
A number of odds-and-ends sprites that I've been making in my free time, some being tweaks to existing sprites; some being revamps of other existing sprites; and some being new pieces.

Then the angles are 36.87 degrees and 53.13 degrees for the smaller and larger angle, respectively, rounded to the nearest hundredth.

[spoiler=]
1. the side lengths are 3 cm for the smaller cathetus, 4 cm for the longer cathetus, and 5 cm for the hypotenuse.
2. Are we talking about both angle measures individually or the total of the two? The total would be 90 degrees, as a triangle has a total interior angle measure of 180 degrees, and the right angle accounts for 90 degrees of it. If it's the measures of each angle specifically, then I'll post later with those, as I haven't figured those at the time of posting.
3. the surface area would be 6 cm2.

She also wanted me to link the previous topic for historical purposes, so: https://forums.serenesforest.net/index.php?/topic/41248-the-royal-sprite-topic-of-myself/#comments
Two attempts at a self-imposed 100-character challenge. As you can see, I didn't get too far.
An assortment of various upvamp/upscale attempts on existing sprite styles. Left to right: Zelda II, Link to the Past, a handful of NES characters, GameBoy Zelda titles, and Super Mario RPG (with an update to that following), plus a couple takes on a 2D Smash Bros. style
A chibi artstyle I made that I've periodically added characters to. L to R: Female Villager (New Leaf/Mario Kart 8 design), Female Villager (City Folk/Smash Bros. design), human Broom Hatter, Inkling Girl (original Splatoon/Mario Kart 8 design), and Ribbon
Some original Kirby enemy concepts.
A wide variety of custom-styled pieces that I've made, some as "doodles", as I call them, some as ideas for small video game concepts. This is where a lot of the fluctuations that I mentioned earlier are, as some of these are pretty old, while others have been updated more recently; some have been updated on what I call "work files", big sprite canvases that I'll start ideas on before moving them to their own files.
Some mugshots and battle sprites. Again, some fluctuation here due to age. I've also made maps, but those will be posted at a later time if people are interested in seeing them.

https://imgur.com/4WVwiVn - Of my various custom-style pieces, this is probably the most "fleshed-out", in a manner of speaking.
