Ethereal Gates 0.7 => The next project

[Neolem]

Yeah I agree. My nintendo ds doesn't have sound anymore, and every time I play Phoenix Wright it's so boring now without music.
Looking forward to "Star maiden Rio", it will be longer than the first chapter of Ethereal Gates I hope?

By the way, against the catgirl Burst strike and Meteor cannon miss so much. But when Nanaka comes, her Thunder Blade always hit ;p

This is the design of the new protagonist, Rio, whose ability is to "Alter" hew clothes into the magical battle costumes. When she changes her costumes, also her battle skills can be changed.

I'm planning to draw 5~6 costumes. The total number of the monsters will be at least 12.

[Neolem]

Sounds cool, does the monsters have weaknesses too?
For example monster x is weak against fire, so using the costume with fire skills is better.

[nyaatrap]

Solid, Electric, Burning, Toxic, Ether are the idea, but should be more simple.

The first weakest costume nearly done. Buruma, Sukumizu, Alice maid, Nekomimi witch, Sailor onepiece are planned :3

Looks good, I wish I knew how to color it like that. My own characters are all still in black and white :p
Rio will be the only character?
I liked the talking part in Ethereal gates, although I cannot read Japanese

Oh thank you. this may show how I'm coloring images (the linked mage is nude as always lol). Make a rough shadowing on the monochrome first, then proceed into details. It's not the best way, but can be done painting pretty fast.

Btw, the color pallet were just taken from the Yuzu-soft games ^^

I also wanted to write it, but I noticed it's one of the most difficult thing with my current skill. So I decided to make a one-player game first. Though, it'll have many humorous talking in occasion for sure.

[Neolem]

Thanks, it helped me a lot xD
By the way, do you mind if I use some of exploration system from page 1? ^__^

[nyaatrap]

Sure, I don't mind
I'm using the python class but the list should work either

Implementing the transformation system

[PyTom]

Shouldn't her armor have gone up with that transformation? I think that's the way the chainmail bikini principle works - the less skin coverage, the higher the amount of damage it protects you from.

[nyaatrap]

That's right
It's a flying form so its armor is weak. The defense form transformed from a swimsuit is http://i.imgur.com/UWfh4.png (the link is a bit questionable lol)

A rival mahou shoujo XD
