Yeah I know it's been pretty quiet around here. Which is mostly my fault. I didn't get time to finish the site to the point that I wanted to.

Still, you never know what might happen in the future.

But I LOVE these graphics. They're brilliant!

Very nice graphics indeed!

Of course, I'm planning on working with mr again, starting next week or so, as my last bit of stuff involving C should be done this week!(Whoo midterm tomorrow, I think... I don't actually know when it is lol) Of course, I'll also be working on a couple other projects as well...

Then aim is still to get mr4 done within this year though(hopefully before this term ends)

Nice! Very Merlin's Revengy, too.

Yeah, suddenly a huge silence just broke out - we used to have over 1000 comment per week at one point.

I think school + vacations happened?

EPIC GRAPHICS!

I just turned 18 on the 6th, so I've been a bit busy on top of the normal stuff. That's why I've been so quiet.

Congrats!

Congrats from Asia too! :D

And from Ireland! In fact Europe generally!

Where I'm from, you would now be considered an adult.

Congratulations.

United States right? I'm from Texas (no, I don't have the notorious Texas accent nor any of it's variants), so yes, legally speaking I am an adult.

Alberta, Canada.

You are now capable of bar-hopping, among other things. I think Quebec is the same.

In Britain and Ireland you would now be legally able to drink alcohol, you would have been driving for a year, and you'd be able to vote.

In the states you can drive at sixteen(though you can get a permit to drive with an adult at 15), vote at 18, and at 21 you can purchase and consume alcohol.

I alberta, you can get a learner's at 14(which seems like not such a great idea), a driver's at 16, and everything else at 18.

Well, I guess here went Bit.

I wonder why s/he didn't ever make any comments, and then used the time to build this..

indeed.

As good as they may look none of those units have any animations, so they'd still need a fair amount of work to be usable.

Yeah, if he did all the animations, that would be sick. :)

meh, slight edits for anims aren't too much work.

Also, I'm going to spend tomorrow on mr! Yay!

I wonder if they'll ever come back and be pleasantly surprised by our reaction to their graphics and lack of defensiveness about the quietness of the place.

Shouldn't the cacti have a blank background?

They do? They're shown twice.

I wonder what the thinking was behind the little rainbow troops.

Super Squad of Evil.

Super Squad of Rainbows! :D

Lol!

b - berlin
l - leader of the Super Squad of Evil
m - merlin

m: well, what have we here?
m: Good day brave Sir Knight, I must say I love your colourful armour it is so bright and gay!
l: It is NOT bright and certainly not GAY!!!
l: It is menacing and intimidating@!
m: Er, oh dear.
l: We, sir, are the Super Squad of Evil!
l: If you wish to find out just how evil, please continue to talk about our vicious, manly-looking armour in those overly jovial tones...
m: Er, no, no, quite right.
m: Yes, I see now, very intimidating armour...
m: Very intimidating indeed...
b teleportsIn
b: Ah hello Merlin, I see you've met the Super Rainbow Squad...
l: RIGHT! THAT DOES IT!!! C'MON LADS!!!! FIGHT!!!!!!
b: oops.

I want it on my desk by Monday. :D

A thought just occurred to me- What if we had it that the coding for each of these guys was the same as some other enemy? I.E., Green acts like a goblin, blue acts like a ghost, red acts like a karate guy, etc. Part of the challenge would be figuring out which one does what, and thus how to approach each.

That's not so nice that he just joined, felt bored, and quit...but it's great that he left these, I wish he could've stayed, he rocks!

Love the dialogue Steve. :)

hehehehe

Still, someone else animating them isn't his work, so if they do get used it isn't going to be only his work, which seems to be something he's concerned about.

Him boldly implying that it is HIS work, makes me feel that it isn't.

And I quote: "Rate/hate and do what you want with it but know that this is MY WORK. "

Of course, that only applies to the first frame or so of each. It will also be the work of everyone else who works on it.

Even a small pixel will be a small contribution. He did do a great job, shame he did not animate it.

How did I forget about these: there's the anti-king, right there!

Oh yeah! I see it! It's awesome!

I think I'll spend tonight on these:)

That's awesome. I can't wait to see these graphics in action.

Any thoughts on an icy spell name for that one he put down?

♪ ninja edit: How does Ice Cannon sound? It could also be used by an icy looking cannon (using rox's gfx from some time ago)

Ice cannon? Don't we already have arctic blast?

AKUSHUIN!

that's the thing, this is a second icy spell, it would seem. I could perhaps just use it for some monster or enemy though.

... and AKUSHIN might be a winner!

wha-

O.o

wait, wut?

The word just randomly came into mind, I wasn't suggesting it. :P

SNOW ROAR!

TABONGA!

Tabonga makes me think of spicy: ie. A fire spell.

well, there could be one of those as well...

How about...


The Mighty And Impenetrable Armstrong Crazy Ultra Powerful All-Destroying Armstrong Great Cannon Of Ice?

...I'd opt for Ice Cannon. Or Ice Bolt. Or Ice Cone. Or Frost Blast. Or Full Freeze.

Did we have that freezing mechanic done?

Which one are you talking about? The one where you slow down, or get encased in ice and can't move. The first one is done.



I think Ice Cone is the best of the lot, and won't be too hard to draw the writings for. I think that's the winner. One the extra plus, it's also a quite silly name!

Ice cone. Genius.

Ice cream sandwhich's anyone?

Don't mind if I do! the kang cm9 works quite nicely on my xoom.
