I've made and placed some new enemies, made a couple of interiors, tested a bit, some design changes... Just doing some finishing touches on areas. After a half year hiatus.
This guy to the left just gave me some sunglasses, now Nargad is all cool! (That's in Super Mario Sunshine? Coincidence I think not!)
I'm sure you guys will love this area. It's a colorful swamp! The toxic gas damages you when you walk through it. And for the music I picked Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles, but I edited the track to sound really, really hypnotizing and dim. This may be my personal favorite area.
The flowery guys are one of the new enemies. They are really fast, shoot (weak) magic and have low health, but their speed still makes them dangerous. The sprite is from the Mac et Blue tileset.
The second new enemy visible is a ghast (the enemy in the center of the screen). It flies around dealing quite some damage, being only vulnerable to fire, so practically it's invincible till you get the candle. It was inspired by ghasts from RuneScape.
Nearby Hydrill Swamp lies the war outpost of King Gergely, the ruler of the Molten Spire. It was quickly built to repel Rebonite attacks and to distract them from the Molten Spire, which is under siege. When you come back later, the guard will be nicer and let you in.
Nargad's Trail: Crystal Crusades is like this many times. Past level 1 you can almost go anywhere on the map, past level 5 you can explore the entire overworld already. Exploration is a key factor and gets rewarded with more money, more experiences and best of all: Heart Container Pieces!!! Luckily the quest will be about 8 full overworld maps(excluding), which I finished 6 of already.
I suppose my post got a little out of hand.
