Oh, by the way, the other thing I did today was patch together my dwarf and critter graphics .txt files.
So when Toady merges, I should be able to turn around and give you guys a working test version right away.

For dwarves, I patched in all the placeholders. For animals, they'll just keep their letters until I finish the sprites.

Eh, keep your pants on.

That's, like, a COMPLETELY DONE deadline.
And chances are I'll get faster at spriting.

And maybe I'll learn animal anatomy.
I tell you what, every critter I make looks like a llama.
I had to re-do that cat like three times before it looked feline.

I'll get faster.
And anyway, how often do you see, for example, a skeletal cyclops?
I'll get the important sprites done first, so it'll seem a lot more done than it is.

...November.

Yeah, I'd been meaning to ask about that.
More specifically, what the crap?

Is there a story behind that?

It is very crisp, isn't it.

Also, my dwarves already have sharp edges,
so it'll be easier to make them match up with those.

Chrome does.
I'm watching your avatar animate right now.

Haha, quick responses.
This is fun. I have fans.

Personally, I'm not so much in favor of the fifth one...
simply because you'll get a sharp square with the surrounding tiles:



rather than a nice, self-contained glow like this:



And while I'm at it, here it is outlined:



I think I might be liking the non-outlined one now.
Without the outline, you get more blue, so you can see what's going on.

I think I'll leave it for a couple days and see what other people's opinions are.
I'm liking those two now, though. I think it's gonna be one of those, more or less.

Hey, cool. Opinions.

Okay, so I'm feeling the love on these faded backgrounds.

Now the question becomes... how much?



I think I like the dark ones.

You guys?

Hey, you can't post without telling me your preference of cats.

Which transparency map do you like best?

Yeah, me too.

Remember that that's not how he'll look in-game.
Usually he'll be on black, and those two will be nearly identical.

What we need to decide is how we want status effects to look.

So here's a couple examples of different transparency maps:



How do people like their falling cats?
Personally, I'm kinda liking the second-to-last one.
The last one is pretty nice too, I think. That's what Phoebus does.

You're right, though. The outlined ones look the best.

I made a nice bag.
I mean cat.



lined:



The kitten is a WIP.
But you get the idea.

Anyway, I'm still deciding how I want to outline them.
I'm thinking I might do something like Phoebus does,
with the outline being the transparency/status color.

Except mine will be antialiased.

Plus, the underground stuff is just so much fun that you can't not check it out.

That's impossible to guess.

Sometimes I go days without making any;
sometimes I crank out half a dozen in 20 minutes.

One thing you can be sure of is that the ~800 critter sprites will take a while.
And that the first release will be very very far from complete.
