Anouleth Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Question: Is Yeti making a new brigand animation? Cause Jan's portrait wears clothes, so unless Arch made a new topless Jan, the Brigand would look kinda weird. Plenty of Brigand and Berserker portraits wear clothes. Gonzales, Garret, Dozla. In fact, every Berserker/Brigand in the history of Fire Emblem has worn clothes except for Hawkeye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Jan would strike me as being an armored Brigand, of course his clothes don't suggest that. Then again, how many FE characters have clothes that match their battlesprites? Not many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Considering armored brigands didn't exist in the original FE7 he couldn't have been one, but Arch might make him one now. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheon Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Considering armored brigands didn't exist in the original FE7 he couldn't have been one, but Arch might make him one now. *shrug* Neither did Mage Knights, Wyvern Knights, nor Halberdiers, but they're in there now. So I don't see why armored brigands, just a graphical update to a class, would be more controversial than new classes that have been added.

Crimson Red Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It's not really controversial. Considering armored brigands didn't exist in the original FE7 he couldn't have been one, he couldn't have been one, All I was saying that having Jan be an armored brigand would be more or less a class change, i.e. he couldn't be an armored brigand to start with. That's all. ^_^ ^^^And to be fair FE9/10 characters have matching portraits/battle animations... but they don't use battle sprites so irrelevant I guess XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deranger Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Should the 5th pannel where Dawson is talking to Yorick and says "Take your place, Lord Yorick, Lycia's throne will soon be ours'.", is the apostrophe at the end necessary. I thought "ours"(without an apostrophe) was already a possessive direct object type thing, and "ours' " doesn't exist.

Arch Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 So, one week later I'm back as the bearer of some bad news. After Florina's debut, we started seriously questioning the aging of characters for Elibian Nights. Spriters began working on aging some of the cast's younger characters. However, we weren't able to pull off this goal before the week's end, coupled with my inability to purge the game of glitches, so the bad news is that the full version of Elibian Nights isn't coming out tomorrow. As you can see, some characters have changed quite a bit, whereas others have really only changed in physique. However! I've got a plan. I can't release the full version of Elibian Nights, I don't have the materials and it isn't tested yet. But, I'm thinking about releasing a public beta. With a public beta, I'd be looking for error reports so I can hammer out all of the little kinks, but you would all get to play the game on time while helping me ensure that the product is in perfect shape. Would anyone be interested in a public beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eCut Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) No offense to however made it but Lowen looks REALLY bad. His armor design just doesn't make sense and the angle seems off. His body/armor also looks too big for his head. Speaking of his head, it looks like he hasn't aged at all. I really think he should have a complete make-over. Disregard this if it was already planned to change him. I only assume that it is his final version. Edited October 1, 2011 by kittE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of his head, it looks like he hasn't aged at all. 3 years probably won't make much difference to an adult especially if his face is concealed behind a load of hair. I think that the beard definitely makes him look older, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I personally think that the armor plating things in the middle and on the top should be a different color from his hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Personally, I think it looks cool. I would like to sign up, but only if I don't have to do reports. I'll play it, and probably won't find stuff. But then I'll use codes and such so to find things most people won't; it worked with FEXP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Red Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 In a public betatest there's little way to enforce standards or to make it so that people have to report back... you can't technically do that in a private betatest either but in private one's you generally know and decide who is going to betatest and trust them to do a good job, whereas a public betatest... just... doesn't quite do that. XP My point is that if it's a public betatest people can play the game and just enjoy with the only downside being that there will be problems with the game... so for you, Bryan, you wouldn't have to do a report, unless Arch has some way of forcing people into submitting them (remote electrocution?) I personally think a public betatest won't go so well but I naturally won't complain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Most public beta tests respond favorably for reporting bugs. Numerous programs do it to save labor costs, and games are starting to catch on too, with TF2 and Minecraft jumping on board (though TF2 memory is a bit foggy). People chirp in. More people allows more chirping. Usually the only negative aspect is people working on a project/program get bitchy when they start to feel like people are only pointing out bugs and problems for the sake of pointing it out. That's on the project members though, their issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taku Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I'm sure the community here would be very helpful with a public beta. And I think Lowen looks awesome IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disregard this if it was already planned to change him. I only assume that it is his final version. Now while I agree that the pauldrons seem too large, saying that it looks "REALLY bad," is going a bit too far. The sprites not bad at all; it's clean and has a nice design to it, but like I said earlier, the pauldrons could use some fixing. There's been a lot of effort put into this hack, and it just irks me when people just come out and criticize like that :/ As previously said earlier, Lowen has a mess of hair covering his eyes and upper portion of his face, that's where the most noticeable features are that change with age. You can also see hints of aging in his cheekbones which seem more chiseled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 The hair and head didn't have to remain absolute stone over three years, however. Sometimes fans seem to be unable to accept that characters can differ in appearance over time. Rowen can have his hair ragged--but a carbon-copy looks pretty amateurish, especially if the armor at least was updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just my opinion on that particular sprite. I don't believe it is up to par with the rest. Idk, I don't think Lowen would have the exact same hair 3 years later and I don't think his armor would change THAT much. I just think it(Lowen) looks like it was rushed and not well thought out. I agree completely with Celice's post above me. Edited October 2, 2011 by kittE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansem Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Lord, maybe you should go PM the creator and complain to him about the sprite instead of clogging up the thread? Wow, Lowen a great knight, totally did not see that coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
