Skill Animations

[Ascension]

What kind of skill animations do you think is better.

A particle graphic?, pixelated graphics? or maybe painted graphics?

I don't really mind any of those... as long as they fit the other graphics in your battle just fine... though I'd probably vote for painted... what's particle graphics anyway? can't you do it on both pixel and painted?

Particle graphics are like explosions of particles (particle effects), like such http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/flint.png

Well my battlers are pixel, but my ui is painted, so I'm thinking of what I should be using here.

Depends if the animations match the graphics style really (to me at least).  Other then that, not much other then if the animation looks powerful.

so like the default explosions of Ace, but done in individual particles instead of 1 huge image? that would be nice, but I think depending on how ur doing that, it's either huge work on your side or on the engine's side...

Hmm true

Yeah, I'm not looking for anything too flashy but good point on the engine

if it's too many, it might cause FPS drop... the engine is known for not handling this stuff so well (because they say it uses the CPU for all, unlike newer things that utilize GPU for all graphic related things, which is what they do best)
