Yay! Such an awesome sprite for my guy. But shouldn't the mask be just one mask instead of 2 separate masks covering his eyes?

I'm not sure what you mean.
(Here it is again for those of us that only view 15 posts per page.)
If you look closely, he only has a dark blue mask on. The red and gold(ish) colors are for the shoulder parts of his armor.

Bartz's face is so small in the overworld to begin with; all I could do to make it so his face wasn't all blue was to use the dark blue to outline his eyes.

[Haylee]

I suppose that makes sense.

[peteandwally]

that looks so good! thanks for the pending cameo

[Nightmeres]

could i be in this game,

name: Nightmeres
sprite, cloud from ff but can you give him dark blue(blue being dominent and silver(less dominate but still noticable hair and girihim's eyes
also where he is maybe a weapans upgrade sailsmen

I want him to say:

"the Power Of Twilight can be used for great evil or good depending on who has it, please by some weapon upgrades because I need to pay for drivers ed."

i gues its too late for me to be a cameo?

Dude, it's not too late! Sorry, I've been busy test-playing my 2-week quest.

I started work on your sprite last night. Are you saying blue & silver hair, or keep the yellow hair and have armor that's mostly blue but partly silver? Or are you saying silver hair with dark blue armor? (The way you worded it was ambiguous. Sorry for the confusion.)

Make a character "I Dont Know" or "IDK". This character is sort of mysterious. And the irony of him is that he actually knows a lot and gives helpful hints. BUT... When you first talk to him, all that appears is "???". But you can collect some type of treasure (like the same idea as Skulltula Tokens) and when you gather enough, you can give them to him in return for valuable information.

As for appearance, he should be like a shadow or a silhouette of a character. You encounter him throughout the quest. The later you see him, the more valuable the info but also at a greater cost (more of said treasure)

Hey, it's cool. Hakuna matata, my friend!

Wowie zowie, I can just imagine such a character... limiting it to 16x16 pixels will be a challenge. But hey, I love a challenge! (First I just hafta' pick the best CSet it should go with; that's a challenge in and of itself!)

@idontknow8: Man, those are some cool ideas! However, (not sure if you had a chance to read the rest of the thread since it's kinda' long) I have to break it to ya', I'm a bit late in the quest to implement all of those ideas.
Just to bring you up to speed, I have 2 overworld maps completed and I just finished creating level 8. I still have to create a few areas on the overworld (as seen in my signature) and after that I'll be working full-fledged on the Underworld (which will house a lot more than just level 9, BTW). Most of the cameo characters are going to be placed in my Underworld, though I've found a couple nooks and crannies on the land above for some of them. Anyway, most of the cameo characters will reside in Lost Traveler Town, a large town set in the Underworld. However, I have been considering a second town in the Underworld, one inhabited with monsters (like moblins and stuff). I have the majority of the underworld mapped out but need more details, so it's likely I'll put in an underworld forest somewhere.

Anyway, not saying I can't do it at all, just need to tone down the scale. I was already planning on having my own cameo character (since it's my quest and all) appear to give secrets. I can still plan on IDK giving away some of those secrets. (IDK works best for me; just like I'm naming Twilight Knight's character "TK".) If you really want, I could have IDK appear a few times in the Underworld. Rather than using "???", I'll just refrain from introducing his name the first time Link meets him. (I don't have names for every person in the quest; I only introduce special characters' names with "<" and ">" around their name in the first string they say.)
Oh, and I do have an idea of what to do for the sprite. Haven't started it yet, but I should have both IDK's and Nightmeres' sprites done early next week. I take Sunday off, so probably early Monday.
Edit: Nevermind, I just couldn't wait! Here are the updated sprites with Nightmeres and IDK at the bottom right:

(I had to use blue instead of green for Nightmeres' background because that green was used in the sprite.)
@Nightmeres: I've never seen a 16x16 sprite of Cloud before, so I used a base sprite from a character from FF5.
@idontknow8: I used the same sprite for your guy as I did for a hologram seen in level 8 (but recolored it) that blocks Link from entering. That way, when Link sees your character for the first time, he'll think you're the real version of that hologram!

Well, whaddaya guys think?

Better version of my sprite (courtesy of Twilight_Knight).

[idontknow8]

cool

[Nightmeres]

thats ok it looks great

Sweet!
I went ahead and updated it. However, TK's version has the hand forward above the leg that's forward. That's not correct. I went ahead and fixed it so that the hand that's forward is opposite the leg that's forward. I fixed the link in the above post, but here it is again:

(Note that I'm using a different CSet because CSet 1 was the only CSet that had room for an extra shade of gray.)

If it's not too late, I'd like to get my ass in there.

My character's name is Spike. He's a fox furry (shut up,) sorta reddish-brown in color, and I guess wearing whatever is appropriate for the era/location. Nothing too fancy though. Oh yea, and smoking a cigarette, because that's how he rolls.

If you want to do a small role, that's cool. If you want him to have any real screen time, he's a sarcastic bastard. Just remember that.

Groovy.

[Lightwulf]

Okay. And by the way, the only reason I know what a "furry" is is because I know Orin XD's character Hal is one. Other than that, I don't know any significance; I won't hassle you 'bout it!

Anyway, here's what I got for you:


I took the FF5 werewolf sprite, and basically gave it a haircut to look more like a fox. I think CSet 3 works for the reddish-brown you wanted.
At first I was thinking of giving him a black top hat and cape, but since you said nothing fancy, I just went with regular clothes. Probably better this way.

... Smoking? Well, I don't have time to edit it now (I forgot about that 'til just now), but I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Heck, I gave Nolornbon's character a cigar, so it's not impossible.

I'm thinking that when Link first meets Spike, he'll start out like in one of your previous avatar captions: "... Seriously? You think I'll tell you anything helpful??"
