Hey Serpexnessie,

Great job! I created a page for Komodraw on the wiki: https://wiki.tuxemon.org/index.php?title=Komodraw

It just needs a face sprite animation (two face sprites at 24 pixels each, to make a simple two-frame animation) and it can be included in the game.

In terms of feedback, I like it - the front sprite in particular is very strong. My personal preference is for monsters that aren't wielding weapons or wearing items, but that's not official policy or anything - and for this particular concept, I don't think it could do without its gun or hat!

Thanks!

I don't have any time today, but I'll get some face sprites up tomorrow in another comment up in this thread.
And yeah, I agree that weapons are a bit unorthodox, But I could probably make something up about how the gun is made out of wood or something. Who knows?

Alright, I made the Komodraw face/menu sprites. I didn't have anything special planned, so I just moved it up 1 pixel.

I have some other ideas too, I'll make their front sprites, and move onto their menu and backsprites once I get the "good-to-go"
( also thanks for the feedback d-(^.^)z, I was thinking for Komodraw to be a sort of fast glass cannon, with garbage-tier melee stats )

Thanks ! I've inputted some stats I think would make sense (Garbage attack/armor, high ranged)

Also, I made some new front sprites for an Anglerfish family (not sure if it's been done yet)

-----

Fluoresfin     (Fluorescent + Fin)
- Element: Water

Blurb: When threatened, it huddles together with other Fluoresfin to create a large blinding light to disorientate predators.

-----

Incandesfin     (Incandescent + Fin)
- Element: Water

Blurb: Its entire body has massively grown in size. However, its light is still the exact same.

-----
Lightmare     (Light + Nightmare)
- Element: Water

Blurb: It lurks in the depths of the ocean, luring any unsuspecting prey using its light right into its large, gaping mouth.

One last question, are there any generic cave bats made yet?

Also, i have a plan for a literal vampire bat. Could be the game's Zubat if we spam it everywhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow, great stuff Serpexnessie.

I'll write a longer reply later, but I just wanted to jump in and say we actually have a couple of generic bats: Pipis and Noctula

https://wiki.tuxemon.org/index.php?title=Pipis
https://wiki.tuxemon.org/index.php?title=Noctula

We could always use more, or we could take one of those out (neither was designed specifically for this project, so there'll be no hurt feelings), but just thought I should let you know if you wanted to work on something else instead.

Thanks Sanglorian! I missed these

You are correct ... that's the first power socket snake I've ever seen.

Very speedy turnaround, thank you Serpexnessie!

Split evolutions for Pythwire!

Sockeserp     (Socket + Serpent)

The Power Socket Snake Tuxemon

Type: Metal

Evolves from Pythwire

Honestly, this one isn't that good. It reuses Pythwire's head and it may be over the color limit. Aside from being a bigger Pythwire, it's also got cable ties attached to it.

-----

Ouroboutlet     (Ouroboros + Outlet)

The Infinite Energy Tuxemon

Type: Metal / Fire

Evolves from Pythwire

This one isn't that good either, but the concept is a bit better. It's based off Ouroboros, the dragon eating its own tail. Except, for this, It's a power socket with a plug on the end, and it's connected to itself.

Finally, Species Names for The Anglerfish family, Pythwire, and Komodraw!

Komodraw: Quickdraw Tuxemon
Fluoresfin: Light Fin Tuxemon
Incandesfin: Light Fin Tuxemon
Lightmare: Nightmare Fuel Tuxemon
Pythwire: Power Socket Snake Tuxemon

Actually, that's a pretty good idea. I'll try to make it when I have the time.

Alright, I finished the backsprites of the Power Socket Snakes, along with an Ouroboutlet redesign.

Pythwire

Sockeserp (This turned out way better than the front sprite.)

Ouroboutlet + New Frontsprite

This one's a doozy. I've made SIX new frontsprites of new creatures! (Though, 4 of them are very similar.)

Seirein - the Spirit Fire Tuxemon
~ Type: Fire

Chromeye - the Mixed Emotion Tuxemon   (Chrome + Eye)
~ Type: Metal
Evolves into: Everything listed below here

Neutrito - the Calm Emotion Tuxemon
~ Type: Metal / Wood
Evolves from: Chromeye

Happito - the Ecstatic Emotion Tuxemon
~ Type: Metal / Earth
Evolves from: Chromeye

Angrito - the Enraged Emotion Tuxemon
~ Type: Metal / Fire
Evolves from: Chromeye

Sadito - the Lamenting Emotion Tuxemon

And they've almost got built in face sprites!

You're right, it'll be really easy to make face sprites for them

Last edited by Serpexnessie (15 Jan 2017 02:15)

One other option, instead of having four evolution options for Chromeye, would be to have one evolution that could take on different forms. For example, maybe Neutrito becomes Angrito when struck with a critical hit, or Sadito when it knocks out the opponent, or Happito when it's given an item. That would add an interesting tactical element.

Well, that is definitely better than anything I can come up with. If we do go with the multiple forms idea, maybe it could be so that it changes emotion based off the type of move it uses (Sorta like Protean Greninja). In that case, I can quickly come up with a Metal-variant (Fearito, maybe?) For now, I think I'll keep it as eeveelution-eque and see where that goes.

Honestly, anything's better than my crappy thought of making it gender-based evolutions. (happito/sadito for female, neutrito and angrito for male)

Backsprites of Seirein, Emotion bots and Chromeye!

And two new monsters!

-----

Urcheedle The Spiked Tuxemon     (Urchin + Needle)
- Type: Water

Blurb: It can't move or attack, so it sits still and prays that the opponent damages itself on its many needles.

Cohldrabi The Frozen Produce Tuxemon     (Cold + Kohlrabi)
- Type: Wood / Water

Blurb: It is born underground in cold, snowy areas, and learns how to fly within a few weeks.
