God Walk - New Front View

[SSH]

I must say that I prefer the old one. I'm not too hot on the blush and blonde hair of the new one.

But then, maybe it should look like Alanis Morisette (if you don't understand, see the movie Dogma)

[rookworm3.0]

I agree that the first version is better. It would blend in with the backgrounds more, though, if the lines were sharpened, and the form/ colours were made more definate, especially in the bach and butt areas.

[Neole]

Argh! Somehow I find the first version (God 1) very dull and uninspiring, as Dorcan said, no personality. And I tend to agree with Igor on the rough pencilled look being more interesting than the smoothened outlines. Plus the closed eyes, but everyone else wants them opened.

Anyway, this is the main sprite so I'm sure I'll be changing it again before the game is done (along with Lucy the Devil, if y'all remember him).

Rookworm - which God number dyu mean by the first version?

Vel, who is Dionissius ??

SSH - I'll have Dorcan try and script both Gods in the game itself so you can have a look. I think God3 looks way better than God1 in the game itself. Also I will now draw the inventory items and objects and other characters (non aimated for now) so Dorcan can finish scripting Day 1. I have the comprehensive list you made. Dorcan what else dyu need besides these to finish the scripting for Day 1? You will have to use the non-animated Lucy for now.

Wow, with Neole's art and Dorcan's scripting, this game should be excellent, hope the story holds up, and no doubt you've found a good musician too.

[Neole]

Ah you havent seen the test demo Dorcan scripted. Fantabulous stuff! The other members of the team are rather excellent as well.

[SLaMgRInDeR]

sorry evryone, but i much prefer the first one, or rather Dorcans newest modification of the first one, btw, this game looks like fun!

God3 with fixed hair would be my favorite.  Fixed meaning all white.

[Neole]

Alrighty then. The first God (God3) with the hair whitened seems to be good for mostly everyone. I'll do some work on the elbow and start on the front and back views.

[Neole]

OT - Dorcan, are you getting my emails?

[Neole]

Front and Back view added. Their outlines are different from the sketchy side walk ones so I'll have to change that later. What do you think of them?

[Barcik]

They both lack frames.

[Igor]

Looking really good! However my suggestion would be to stick to the type of walk you used on the side animation- only up and down animation (no leaning). It's good to keep animation consistence, otherwise it may look a bit strange in game.

[Neole]

Barcik, yeah I guess I should add some other movements too.

Igor, gotcha! I never thought of that.

[SSH]

The side-to-side does kind of make God look like a weeble (Weebles wobble but they dont fall down!)

[Neole]

Yer right. I'll have to reduce the side bob a lot. Added a new animation with the reduced side bob (just deleted the extreme side frames).

[Vel]

Neole, it boobs like a bottle of wine.

[Vel]

Neole, it bobs like a bottle of wine.

[Synthetique]

i like the new ones... you need to change some colours to make him blend in on the backgrounds..

maybe you could make him move more when walking..
i was inspired, so i made an example... this is too much movement tho, and far to skecthy.. ;P



i hope you didnt notice that his eyebrows disappears...

[SSH]

Like the anim, Synth. It kinda points out the problems with the one Neole did:

1. The robe should obey gravity even when the body underneath moves around
2. The arms should wave a bit

[Neole]

That looks very cool Synth! How did you do that, paper drawn or mouse or tablet?

SSH - gotcha! Will change those. What I did was draw a front view and shake it a bit instead of really animating it..

I was debating on wether to add footwear or not but decided against it, thining it wold give a more roman feel than godly. Wha dyu say?
