Dune Pincher looks awesome! I love the arabic flavor to it! I'll add this new monster as soon as I can

The Rockitten overworld sprite looks great! Player/NPC sprites can actually be at a maximum of 16 x 32 pixels in size, but less than 20 pixels high is good for most overworld sprites. Since Rockitten is a small monster, I think this is a good size.

I haven't been requiring overworld sprites for all monsters at the moment, but if we want to have monsters follow the player around we would definitely need them. It's possible we could just support the starters unless sprite sheets are made for every monster.

Hi,
made a few changes on the overworld rockitten. Since my original overworld rockitten looked more like a slightly fluffy kitten I tried add some lines to show the rock edges. Not sure if it worked to be honest. Take a look:

- is back after a few days of work - ..what happened in my thread? o.O

ill quickly summarize my thoughts about the fusion: Since I'm not that much in the coding process (actually not even a bit) I don't care how you do the fusion.. but if you need more sprites (more head/body sizes etc) then I will update my sprites. I like the idea of fusing your tuxemon... there is so much potential and power in it! I hope we will be able to get it into the game

oh and, im alive btw. hi.

a quick update to my current situation: my university (which obviously always wants to be called "university of applied sciences") started and i will have exams soon.. also all my other work is still going on so I have lots of todo there. never the less (dunno how to write that) im working on a youtube channel (not mine of course, that one is still dead) and revived my deviantart account.. getting back to the internet and stuff

I will need some time to get back to tuxemon completely.. I will check the forum every few days though, im still here dont worry

------

i would be happy if you could continue this conversation about the fusion in a new thread so maybe  a few more people might join. I didnt expect to see that much discussion about fusion when it says "tamashis contribs" somewhere above xD
maybe, if you do something like the "we need seperate parts with different sizes" people will see it early on and can contribute sprites that way and you might try it out... or if you say "we need a few sizes people have to use", that future submissions might match very soon..

Oh and btw: should I make a few test sprites to test the different approaches?

I've started to make a sumobug prevolution based on leo's scribble..
Current state:

oh and yeah I didnt use his scribble, I like doing stuff from scratch

Awesome sprite!

Thank you very much!

As Leo mentioned in a separate thread, it does seem a little large. Creatures that take up the full 64x64 size should be considered "big" creatures. It's ok to make them smaller than the 64x64 limit if they're small creatures. I'm not sure if you were originally envisioning this creature being "big" or "small" (or "medium").

Actually I just made that sprite without even thinking.. haha ^^' didn't notice how huge the txmn is... I'm gonna fix that later
I wanted the caterpillar to be a rather small txmn... so yeah, this definitely needs a touch.

If you want to, you can add some changes on this sprite and it can be some different txmn... maybe remove the mask and put a different face, change the colors and the legs a little and you have a new txmn; the fixed caterpillar will look differently than this one I guess ^^

(wow, I really need a 'what I need to fix' list..)

bla big update bla bla im back bla bla spriting bla fixes bla. bla bla look here bla.

sumobug (design update as suggested by leo)

face menu

sumobug prevolution (fixed size.. look at him! he's so cute!!)

wind attack (fixed roughness)

cat girl trainer (fixed colors)

What a great update! The wind attack looks very professional.

I like that you've incorporated some of Leo's design, but kept Sumobug looking very insect-like - which is one thing I thought was at risk of being lost in the illustration.

I had a play around with the larvae sprite and stuck the head from the old one on the body of the new one. I think we can get away with quite big heads on unevolved tuxemon, and I think this looks pretty cute. What do you think?

thank you very much!

you are right, the big head/face looks pretty cute
Hmm.. since we have different colored tuxemon sometimes.. could we also have tuxemon with different body proportions? we could have both of them then; of course with a little color change and stuff...

if I had to choose though, i think would choose the big headed one. it just looks too cute ;A; good work on that!

Sweet - now all it needs is a name!

question: should we avoid semi-transparent sprites?

so far I didnt do any sprites for tuxemon using the alpha channel but for some battle animation it might look cool... but less retro

A few more sprites done. not that happy with the coloring; if anybody feels like correcting this, feel free to edit the sprites ^_^
(again: design by leo, but sprites are done from scratch)

@ShadowApex
Transparencies are fine? Might be useful for some animations. Maybe....
I don't know how complicated that is but do you think something like different blend modes could be useful for the game? altough that's not necessary at all, its only a little fancy... xD

Hi guys,

I'm stil alive. But ill. Good thing about beeing ill for a week or so: You've got time to do hobbies (when feeling well enough). So yeah... here's a sprite I did today. I even did a livestream of this on twitch, but a laggy one since my pc is still dead and Im using some old laptop...
Enough of my bla bla. Behold, the masknake!

without lightail:
with lightail:

edit: the light on the could be transparent... it wouldn't look like a blue ball then. but it's up to you if you a) like the light and b) if you want it transparent and c) if the tailtip sould also be blue because of the light....

Here comes a new Tuxemon!

Idea for the third evolution:
When evolving from stage 2 to stage 3, the egg hatches and disappears (so the third stage is only a bird)
with the hatched egg, another tuxemon appears in your inventory (or tuxemon storage); maybe different bird, maybe something else...

Edit:

Very cool sprite. Thanks tamashi! Hope you feel better!

Oops forgot to reply.
Thank you, yeah I feel better now
