Love the slimes.

 

[Goldschuss]

I voted vicious monsters, because when you make them, they look so awesome (looking at the elemental dragon and the petsuchos)


also voted aerial monsters, we definitly need more birds, crows and (shadow)hawks


We enough cute critters I think and the rest sounds rather meh


also rest well. I catched a cold several times this year, but I was able to fend them off every time. shower hot and then cold also eat spicy food.

 

[Solis]

Love your polls! Anyway, you could do like top 3 so we can have variations muahahah. Love you regardless  

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

We're, barely even the first week into this poll and the results couldn't be more different

There are no variations this week, instead I have started experimentation into a new style for Overworld characters, here is the first.

Like this new style? Vote Yay or Nay (or don't care)!

[Fudge]

Yay! You say yes and no the same way a family member of mine does!

 

[Mickychi]

The style is cute that's for sure but the black outline comes across a little thick. Also where did you get those tiles used in the image - especially the water on cliff bit, if you don't mind telling me?

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

@Mickychi Thanks for the feedback, I'll consider changing the outlines from black should I do more.

Here, I ordered it. And no worries, I can handle those claws.

No seriously, very good work! Fierce, dangerous and an oversized tail - thats how I love my scorpions! and I will make damn good use of them


Oh and besides, here's a little recolour: the blackhaired holy weaver.

Looks nice, shows how a small change such as hair colour can go a long way

 

[Izeck]

I really like the new overworld characters. I would love them even more if you made them in parts for the generator or at the very least, just parts so we can put them together in an image editor.

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

@Izeck Interesting idea, I'll keep it in mind (the latter is more likely), I still have a few kinks to work out but the way I'm making them its not too hard to create the separate parts.

 

[Solis]

LOve it

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

I've been struggling to come up with good ideas for variations lately so for the time being I'll be releasing statics during these mid-week updates reserving the end of week update for animated battlers!


Nothing like a sweet innocence crossed with a beast, just got to love those hugs; those deadly hugs!

 

[Goldschuss]

You're lacking ideas for variations?


Do you mean recolours and so on?


Or just new monsters?


I kinda want to see an iceberg cloudian with an axe and a viking helmet  BD

 

[ShadowHawkDragon]

@Goldschuss Usually I try to add a little extra something to my variations to make them stand out as more than just a recolour (the slime blob things for one) and its that extra something I'm struggling to find.


For this week and the next I'll continue with this alternate release scheme to see if I can shake this rut.


I'll be adding that idea to my (rather small) list of variation ideas

This is a very good design philosophy you have there and I agree with you there.


My input on this is, try some sort of mutation, if you want something new.


Take one of your normal monsters and then add crazy wings to it. Suddenly this previously normal monster can fly, giving it access to aerial attacks.


A monster that is defensivly weak gets some spikes and thus a weak spot is now strong.


The goombas from mario games are a good examples. Usually weak but with wings or spikes they get much different roles


I hope this helped you somehow.

Polls are closing next Friday, vote now or forever hold your... votes...


What's that up in the sky? Is is a bird? is it a plane? Wait, nevermind its just a bird, a large fiery bird but a bird nonetheless. 


Sky Rider

Ride the skies with large wings, these Majestic birds are spoken of in innumerous legends throughout the world.

Used as mystical charms one too many times, to bring out the sun, to ward away evil during All Hallows' Eve, to scare crows... Abused one too many times they now walk!


 Scarecrow

Once simple constructs designed to ward evil, now cursed, they wander the fields in search of that something they lack.

Edit.. new variation to your devil-sheep, peasant sheep.  Wearing peasant or farmer trousers and a pitchfork without the devil gear.  Something like here are the farmers that feed the occultists.
