He doesn't have NEARLY enough hair on his arms.

= P

Anyway, they're fraternal twins.
They don't look alike.

Oh, that's my problem to get around to.
Don't worry, it will definitely happen eventually.

This week I'm on vacation, and soon after that I'm headed back to school.

But when I do get back to spriting, I will take a look at humans and elves. And kobolds.


...
And yeah, we don't get any real information from the game. Sorry.

We could totally do something like that if we wanted to.

I think trees need to be great big things with gaps in the leaves
so you can see the dwarves resting in their shade, or whatever.
But yeah, we could definitely have them cast shadows over things.

Lovely ballista. And from what I've heard, that should be easy.

Aaaahahahaha!

I totally want to play lemming fortress now.

Oh, and by the way, WormSlayer.

Those first two dwarfs in the the tileset are used for dead dwarves,
but the one farther down is not. It's just used for the adventurer on the map.
When you sent me the ones where they're on their sides I kinda liked it, so I just copied it over,
but for future reference that guy is never used for a dead dwarf so it's kinda silly for him to be lying down.

Just fyi.

I'll fix it for the next release.
I don't think it's a huge deal for now.

Oh, also, we got about a thousand downloads between the packaged game and the upgrade pack for this last one!

Phoebus still makes more than twice that easy, but we're gaining! A thousand downloads is a LOT!

Excellent!
I'm looking forward to drawing this dragon!

And I'm still trying to decide exactly how I'm going to do so.
The mock-ups we've been discussing so far suggest a top-down view,
but upon mentally visualizing it, it does not seem to fit with the perspective
that I have been utilizing for my dwarves and creatures up until this point.

So I think I may just go with a great big dragon tile, sort of like I said I wanted
to do at the beginning of this whole project, that just extends a little bit from his tile.
And by a little bit, I mean I'm gonna paint, like, a 50 pixel dragon. Mwahahahahaa!  = D

I still might do something with his wings, though. And I'll definitely play around with his tail.

I'm looking forward to making megabeasts now. They are gonna be AWESOME!

Good call!

Except vanilla dragons don't fly.

And I'm gonna kinda avoid animations to start off
(other than maybe some flickering glows for magma and furnaces).

But yeah, if I'm drawing the wings and stuff on transparencies, that'll be fine!
I can even put them over floors or trees or water or whatever's nearby.
