[Project]Hexen II Monsters

[Vegeta(dw)]

What do you think of this?

[oODemonologistOo]

IIRC, the book was on the right hand... Should I also say it needs edits?

[Ghastly]

The tome isn't all that necessary, and would only look really good when held under the arm (and even then, it'd probably need a new attack animation).

I appreciate the effort, though.

[printz]

Heh, I wasn't serious about the tome But I remember the skull wizards would drop tomes of power at occasion, just like Disciples, so why not.

[Ghastly]

While on the subject of the Skull and Shadow Wizards, what do you all think of the first test recolor?

[Dreadopp]

That looks pretty good to me. I like that color combo.

Is Praevus planned? I have some ideas for the sprites. The problem is that I think it's going to need ACS for his attacks.

Edit: Nevermind, I started with Eidolon. He is more fun to edit and most likely he will have a part also in my mod.

[printz]

Eidolon could just be a recoloured satyr or bruiser demon with satyr face. Good luck with the werejaguars and scorpions. The crystal golem is a boss initially invincible. What about crossbows? Or the four horsemen? Or the snake?

[neoworm]

Eidolon definitely needs completely original sprite. Not some Satyr variation. Cleaned up model rip would be enough but not bruiser mod.

[Vegeta(dw)]

Personally I dislike to use things from DOOM on Hexen, so no. So far I'm doing the design but it's looking good, yet the cleaned model rip would be the ideal option, still is over what I can do.

[ShadesMaster]

Can't wait so see! The Medusa and Skull Wizard were excellent recreations and Eidolon I can picture to be sweet as well!

[Ghastly]

@Vegeta: As soon as I get a hold of, and play through, Portal of Praevus, I'll add it's monsters to the list. Can't wait to see that Eidolon sprite.

Printz: The four horsemen will be amazingly hard to sprite and to code (I can't make them walk in a predetermined path without using the Death Wyvern's behaviour, but that would make it only able to attack things in front if it), so I can stand leaving them out of this pack. I think we can leave the mid-boss stone snake from the Egyptian-themed hub, as well, because it seems more of a map fixture than a boss. The Crystal Golem invincibility, by the way, will be a modder's choice (since if someone just placed it on a map, they could never kill it).

[Vegeta(dw)]

The problem with the Horsmen could be fixed using Korax or Dark Bishop walking actions (they attack the target no matter if they can't see it). War sprites are basically already done (Daggerfall armored axe horman), yet the others would be hard to edit. Still not that hard, Daggerfall also has a skeleton riding a horse (base for Famine and Death), I don't know if there's a base for the big boar for Pestilence (the sprites of him could be edited from the Archer Knight, D'sParil, and Daedelon).

Not Hexen related, but what do you think of this? (sorry it isn't worth to start a thread for it)

I have the rotations for the head already. Perhaps a big floating head would be better (it wouldn't loose quality as the original sprites are way bigger)

[Ghastly]

Wow, looks like a mini Icon Of Sin. I always wanted to see a boss like that.
