Nope ^^;... Just so it's clear. They come from the Gloria game. I added that in the demo post. The faces I did are all in black and white, with a colored exception (Fabellia's neutral face). I'll replace everything with original faces that fit with the displayed characters, obviously, but I don't feel in a hurry.
(oops, not enough time to reply to everything right now. I'll add more in about one hour ^^)
EDIT : Uuu, I'm late ^^;... Sorry. Resuming...
"I really liked Arissa ... (laugh) ... "
The one-face character. Definitely a special one ^.^.
"Oooh, that coordinate effect was awesome. I rollbacked it, and watched it about 4 times ... I'm so easily amused ... the syncing of the sound effects was spot-on. "
Fufu ^.^. I suppose you mean the "appearing" animation more than the "point&click" part ?
"I think I felt my jaw slowly drop open at the warp effect as I choose Urbania ... damn, that looked good. How did you do that? o_o;; I need to know ..."
Wow, thanks ^^;... And I kept thinking it wasn't that great ^^;... No great magic in it though : frame by frame animation, 10 frames loop I think. The whole thing was done in 3D though. So yea... mini CG movie ô_o...
" "He's now in charge of quite a few warehouse around here [...]" ... probably needs to be "He's now in charge of quite a few warehouses around here [...]" "
Yagh ^^;... You can tell I haven't checked the english version in a while ^^;... Thanks for spotting it
"The music for the attack is pretty cool. I hope you keep it for the release. I also can see now, by looking at the sprite compared to the facial icon, that you did not draw the little icons in the corner yourself ^^; "
Aw... you'd also read that I didn't do the musics and that they come from games ^^;... This means I can't keep this music, unfortunately.... I've tested the scene with many rocky tunes and it's the only one that fit
... I'll be very sad to part with it...
"LOL at Amy's huge smile for the cannon bit. Oh, that's hilarious ..."
You don't know how glad I am that you think some parts are funny ^^. I have absolutely no idea how fun I can make things... and I wanted it to be fun ! So ya... This is reassuring ^^
"I was also impressed with the animation for the cannon firing"
I plan to do muuuuch better though. It's so static right now, it hurts ^^;... (I plan to have all those "arms" move in first, then have energy beaming through them before it concentrates in the center).
"but the voice-acting is confusing ... is that from an anime or did you find a Japanese voiceactor or something?"
Quoting myself : "That single voice clip is by me". ^.^
You can tell I love robot/fighting animes :3
"....Oi, it switched to French. I guess this is the end of my short review for this path.
So I loaded up my saved game, and picked Arena this time. The catgirl popping up scared me a little, I'm such a wuss ..."
Aww XD... I really didn't intend this ^^;
"You know the special scene where the catgirl has Marl by the throat? I think that you should draw a seperate picture for it. Just moving the sprites closer together ... eh. "
When you see the full version, you'll notice that at times, things are more detailed (even simple things such as moving characters around... as in this scene) and sometimes not. I've been rather unequal in that domain :/... But yea, I agree, the scene needs more shinies, even if just a small framed picture of her holding him ^^.
To be honest, this was one of the first scenes ever, so... the whole moving around thing felt very "woah" at the time XD...
"Ah, I really like Amy's design ... if I had more time, monele, I think I would really enjoy doing some sprites for you with less Eastern-style and more Western-style (like what you've used with your facial icons) but it just takes so long ;_; "
Facial icons are western style ?... Mmm... Never saw them that way ^.^
On the sprite topic, I know I asked for help at the beginning of this project, but now I think it'd feel strange to me. Even if the quality isn't the best, I like drawing my characters ^.^. More on this in a few moments though o_o.
"(covers mouth with hand) Um, the mouse scene ... how can I say this ... nevermind, you probably don't want to know what I'm thinking. But my first impression was ... not pure. Forgive me ..."
Oh god, it's not just me ?! XDDD... You know, this kept me laughing to myself for my whole bus trip back home ^^;...
Nex : "Wow Katania, so... you really love mice... *that* way ô_o..."
Amy : "My plushie ! ;o;"
XDDD. I'll *really* have to change this ^^;... But I'm not sure how to remove the unpure effect @_@.. I thought of a more realistic animation (this one is simplified) but...... it's even worse! XDD... oh dear...
Well... overall, I'm glad you enjoyed it ^.^. Makes me feel bad for not having the english version ready right now ^^;...
Btw, don't start with :
"Oops, I guess that's the end of my long-winded and entirely subjective review, please don't take anything too personally ...."
when you're planning to be positive about something XD... I expected total bashing ^^;...
Omeegod eeee~! <3.. You make her look so... fluffy.. and cute
... and... mm o_ô... bustier <3. I'm so keeping this ! *saves*
(it's the first time someone draws one of my characters ;3; *snirfls* thank you!).
... and... mm o_ô... bustier <3. I'm so keeping this ! *saves*
