Hey guys, I haven't followed the whole thread but I just wanted to ask if Episode 3 is already finished?

But seriously, what the crap just happened to this thread?

With my deductive skills I guess that means Eriance wants Torm to post screenshots of Stronghold. Why? Because of the file name:

Code: Select all

nouturn
no u turn
no, u turn
no, your turn

So... Do I get a cookie or something?

But seriously, what the crap just happened to this thread?

One word: 'Impatience'.

[Amuscaria]

You couldn't be more wrong. The No U-Turn sign is a graphical representation of the "No U!" meme from 4chan. It's used to end all stupidity. I said this jokingly to Torm's comment or any future comments regarding DE-EP3 Previews/Betas/etc.

[Marisa the Magician]

Sorry, I'm not good at memes. I'm still learning...

New sprites the starting pistol-level weapons for EP2. Renamed to the "Hellfire Gem". Pretty simple sprite, but significantly better than the old plasticky gargoyle thing.

[Project Shadowcat]

Quite nice. Don't see anything wrong this time, except that the dark sprite is.... dark.

[ProjectAngel]

Huh. The new wand reminds me of another weapon from somewhere... Hmmm...

[XutaWoo]

I have to ask; why replace the gargoyle wand with a generic one?

Still nice.

The design is based on the new Soul Leech. It's also two bony hands grasping a gem.

[Vader]

Very nice work, I really like the firing frames

I guess that's just the template without any shading!

Actually, I liked the mace weapon. There are some sprites you havn't used yet. Also, why didn't you use the 8 slot?

A mace weapon? That was the original 6th weapon for Episode 2, it was just taken from Heretic. It was replaced with the "Hellforge Cannon" pretty early within the project. I'm pretty sure i removed the Heretic Firemace sprites long-long ago. O_o If you still have that, your beta is REALLY outdated. probably by 4 years.

And yes, the blank frame is just the template, i leave it there so I can easily select the different areas on the sprite should i want to edit the thing later. It's also useful for recoloring.

The Hellstaff will be replaced by a "Fury Staff", basically the same weapon with new sprites. Afterwards, I think I will finally replace all the Episode 1 weapon sprites with much better ones. As my design and coloring skills increase, episode 1 stuff look more and more ugly each time i look at it. O_o

How many times have you redone that pistol?
