Awesome! Just awesome!

This is SO going in!

I thought it might make it in 8)

Wow... that is SO awesome!

sweet man. it'll be hard owning it though

ummmm a little long dont ya think?

Woah...

dude.

this is the coolest monster ever to be suggested.

The spliting monster was my idea all you do is go to mr4 enemies and put down at the top Split or split then you just scroll down until you find the name Split.

Sketch this is INSANE!!! I so want to face this. its awesome.

I think this guy have to be alone on the screen otherwise it might be to hard, I really like it

That is SWEET!
Can I PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE use that sprite in one of my games?

COMPLETELY UBERLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I rate 20!

Hey sketch i think the skeiton is popular. Maybe.

bw26: Sure you can use the sprite in your game. The sprite can be found Here
It is a big file because I kept all the parts together.
Thanks for your comment I appreciate it.
Murderer55:
Yes this guy would most likely take a long time kill. But I think it would be an interesting hecktic battle. Because you would have to choose which parts to destroy and that would lead into a different combonation of enemies that you have to deal with.
For example after you destroy him the first time you have 3 choices:
Destroy the summoning torso (which I think is the biggest threat) then have 3 more parts suddenly after you
Destroy the really fast melee part but have 2 more enemies appear
Or focus on the enchanted sword which is the least of your problems at the time and avoid new enemies.
I think that fighting this guy would be fun and the parts can always be used separtly in other screens.

Sketch, the last frame of the attack animation has a random black pixel shortly away from the bottom of the sword. Thought I'd bring that to your attention. (Not that it'd likely be noticeable against the background of a map, but still).

OK! I really love this suggestion.

Here are some suggestions: make anim smoother... the sword and the walking are a bit choppy.

The Skeleton Lord should do about 50 damage. I know how much Merlin starts with, 30.

That way, a leveled up Merlin would be severed in just a few slashes. (Its a big sword, man!)

Also, I would rethink the way the severed head looks. When I first glanced at it, I felt sick. It looks like it is hemmorhaging.

Other than that, it's pretty awesome.

(While it sounded diffferent, I really like the suggestion... the pros weigh out the cons by a kilogram. Or a couple tons.)

Maybe he should be able to summon other normal skeletons (normal, as in warriors and skull throwers).

In new games Merlin's health is 200.

Firestorm: Thanks I will fix the black dot and upload. Wonder how it got in there...

Carefree_Butterfly: I really like the walk animation how it is currently so I have no plans to change that one.
The sword attack is not perfect and was the hardest piece of animation. I have the frames that I really want in there and he looks fine in any particular pose I could use a few more "tweens" (frames inbetween key frames)
Err... I can rethink the head charge for the laser if it is a popular idea.
Mr. Merlin: I don't know maybe it is maybe it isn't, I'll give it a few weeks before I decide if people like it.

I heard that a consignment of rogue black pixels escaped recently whilst being shipped to a screensaver... well you get the idea with that.

What rouge black pixels? I could never see any!

Sketch - I like this. And I remembered to vote, for once.

Steve - Really? I heard the pixels rebelled ages ago over low wages, and have been working as a guerilla faction ever since. Damn rumours.

(What actually was the conclusion on the use of the word 'damn')?

Or, alternatively, my above comment with Mob Mentality applied to it:

RUMOURMONGER!

HERESY! DEFILER!

UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!

BURN THE EVIL ONE, HE WHO WOULD HAVE US STRAY FROM THE TRUE PATH!

(interlude - black pixel agents egging them on)

(Fade out to dungeon scene, cut to steve being dragged away. Dolly zoom on his face for laughs (dolly zooms always look so cheesy).).


(Aside - it was kinda hard to stop that from turning into some religious fervour thing; didn't want to offend anyone by having the mob saying religion/belief oriented stuff, that could then be taken as an attack on religions. Had flashbacks to GCSE drama when typing that; reminded me of The Crucible (Salem Witch Hunt).).

Er, well, top marks for trying to avoid attacking religion, but to be honest it still sounds pretty much like an attack on religion to me. I only posted it because you explicitly said that it wasn't intended that way.

wow...

ooookkkkkaaayyy *walks away slowy

if after a while of attacking(and if they survived), would the pieces slowly come back together?

Sorry, it was supposed to be 'generic mob mentatlity'.

you know ive kinda noticed when ever something is posted after a while it just turns into basically email. and half of it turns to religion. what gives?

they would probably have seperate minds of their own.

that would suck!!!

Where's the pixel.

man i have short term memory. sorry 'bout that.

Carefree Butterfly - sketch took it out, I believe.


BTW, if it really does look badly like an attack on religion, you can take down that comment and I won't mind (assuming you can take it down relatively easily).

I fixed the pixel and uploaded the image to the same place. It's like there never was a pixel out of place.

which pixel?

The pixel is not there anymore. That is the point lol. Well actually it "is" there but now it is white instead of black.

IN MY OTHER ACOUNT I SUGESTED FEET AND YAY THEY ARE USED!!!but i forgot what the name of my other acount was T_T cry.and feet should be on the undead's teamand there caould be a feet mage that summons feet but it has a staff inted of a sword and it uses "feet summon"(^o^) lol the (^o^) isn't in the spell,it's just a smilly^^.o and wat is pie? cuz i think i forgot.and maybe there could be a feet leader too,he would be big and would have a huge sword with spikes on it and armor would cover all of him not just some parts and i gota stop bitting my nails.hmmmm.... where did my energy blast go?*searches fo energy blast in backpack but pulls out feet sommon* oops wrong one *seaches again and gets pie blast* ooo *pulls out a dish and fires pie blast at dish and pie appears in dish*oooo but wats that?maybe if i eat iti will know....*eats the pie and dish*hmmmmm.....it tasts good but i can't move because i did it wrong and made a lot of fat that looks and tastes like pie and now i can't move cry,cry,crycry,cry*then cries out the fat* yay i'm skinny again!*takes a step and is in outer space*um brb guys give me a few years to get back here,but how can i live? there is no air,oh well.*slowly moves towards earth but finds jet pack*oooo wat does this do?*puts on jet pack and finds self burnt up in a crater*how did i get here? and where is steve?*sees steve and others next to crater burnt up almost as bad as me looking at me*wat did i do?*all pull out energy beam*i though that spell was gone.....CRY*gets blasted like mad with energy beam.....then finds self yellow*not again!*gets blasted with energy beat again*uhhhh*finds self glowing yellow with butt on fire*AHHH AHHHH MY BUTT'S ON FIRE!!!*all attack me with water blast*AHHGHGHGHGHG!!!*casts arnegetdon and everyone but me goes flying and gets hit with all kinds of harmfull blasts*ok see ya later*walks way* um where is TMB H.Q.?o yea,i'm on it lol.but i'm still glowwing,maybe i should be called the glowwing wizzard?i don't know.o well,time to get some orange juice.*sees ornage wizzard selling orange juice and unharmed for some resson,comes up to him and buyes orange juice*ahhh,orange juice*drinks orange juice*hmmm this is good orange juice but where is my energy blast?

Lagging
Olimpic
Luaghs
lol i'm saying alot of random stuff

o and maybe if you kill the upper haff it drops army sommon would like this because i wana have an arm of foot soldiers and upper haffs summoning more :D

i dont think the monster should be able to summon and when the skeliton lord is holding the sword its black and when its alone its red whats with that?

Um did everyone just ferget about my comment. ( )
0

Im lost here...

I've just realised; I nearly always write my comments as responding to other people's comments; I rarely actually give any though as to what the original suggestion was any more.

Just sayin', y'know.

That is so cool!!!

The sword changes colors because it activates its magic powers to fly.
Also so it is easier to perceive as a threat. :P

I think this should be the skeleton miniboss from the skeleton fortress (suggestion more elaborate enemys by 10_of_spades)

I still think the Torso should summon smaller Skeletons instead of Body Parts. *Winces*

Owl!!! Two for flinching! Punches shoulder twice

I think having body parts chase you would be cooler.

Do you want me to put in some graves Steve? I kinda forgot and got busy... Yeah I will try and get too that...

Looks like I made a grave for the foot and a left behind grave for the torso tank.
I still need a grave for when the lower legs dies, and skull grave, and a arm/shoulder grave.

Yes please, Sketch, graves would be awesome. I changed the programming to cope with them not being there, but people will expect to see them, and probably report it as a bug if they are not there.

i don't think the tank should have a left behind as the statue doesn't move, it would just clutter things up and sometimes the thought:is that a head or a tank?

Eh, fine. But having more body parts than would fit on a body? *Winces Again*

Sketch.... I was just looking at your suggestion and... how did I make you want to draw again?

Dude's stop saying parts are bad! It's all brilliant!

Well mostly by me explaining how to do things to you and I realized how much I missed it. Right now I am barely logging in online and am at a breakthrough point on a game of mine which has been stealing most my time. It is a mod off the Warcraft 3. Sorry about my diminished online time, But looks like quite a few new animators are around :)

It is okay Darren. I can take any critique and might even fix it up a bit if someone has an idea I agree with. That is if I get off my lazy butt and finish up a few MR projects...
Sry Steve
(is slaxoring badly)

Well I finally finished the graves. I replaced the old sprite sheet. THe graves are in the bottom right with the base unit above it.
2 of the parts don't drop any graves when they die because all the parts are used to make the next creatures. They have NA below them. Steve could use a blank/transparent gif for their graves if he didn't want to reprogram, (hint hint)
here is fresh linkage.
Click Here I won't bite... hard

Thanks Sketch, the graves are excellent! I Have already done the programming to allow for enemies with no graves, but I just know that people will assume it's a bug if they don't have graves.

I wasn't so much talking about for your sake, Sketch, I just can't see what's wrong with it.

I'm not saying parts are bad, I'm just saying parts are... weird. But I guess that's a good thing.

Maybe when the arm dies it turns into a hand and a floating smaller sword, and when the hand dies 5 fingers with rocket come shooting towards you FRWOOOM WISSSHHH BANGBANGBANG and when the tank dies wheels come rolling towards you and its like OH MY GOSH!!!! SOME F---ING wheels ARE FLYING TOWARDS ME!!!! and the wheels are like un huh we are. and when legs die they should leave behind hibs that sway around and make merlin distracted so the keys would be reversed and if you pressed the up key then you would be like WOAH! and you would go down. Ane when the feet die they released a stink doing like 20 damage to everyone around them and toes would come flying out which are kind of like the toes except they have 10 percent more coolness and the big toe would stay behind and do the hokey pokey.


yeah


thats what i think. it would add SO much to the game

how do you add the photos

i think that might too much to the game it would take to long (unless he's like a boss like one of the wizards the BS brain washed)

Also well the feet, one of them should have a bow, cuz some feet have bows.

Dr. Destiny: Lol. Witty, very witty.

this thing is getting crazy!!

Oh by the way it is now fightable in the beta demo in the middle of the soon to be orc infested fort.
I have the torso shooting energy blast only right now. I actually think it would be more challenging and less long of a fight it he did that instead of summon skeliton parts. I will test it out.

sketch:"Oh by the way it is now fightable in the beta demo in the middle of the soon to be orc infested fort."

DOES THAT MEEN WE CAN PLAY IT I WANT TO FIGHT IT plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(shortened to 5% of original size so it wasn't spam)

I've missed this place...

Yes, yes you can fight it in my beta demo. url is..
Here

I have stepped back from the project to make another game which will be uploaded soon if anyone wants the source code message me on the yoyogames forum. Thx

well its not cool........ITS AWESOME!!!!!!really good job.

okay thats not cool man wizard master to steal my name

oh so thats what that was! i was wondering for a long while after seeing that after i blew up the screen all that was left was this sceliton tank thing...hrm...sceliton tanks...not a bad idea...

I really like this monster(s)

hmmm, i could see this being used in multiples in some kind of insane hard core merlin's revenge game (imagine 4 of these on a map when you only have energy blast X[ )

wow thats an awesome animation.its so detailistic!

shouldn't the torso turn into a tank and 2 arm crawlers?

you know what would be cool is if the legs turned to a foot which would kick merlin, and arms in a hand which would punch merlin(if someone hasn't already suggested it)

maybe the pieces can come back together(if there still alive):D
