This is a Weak Halloween Avatar

Remember River? Yeah, the chick in blue. She's in a witch costume. It's just a recolor. Yay.

I felt weird not having SOMEthing Halloween-related (poor Rez), so here's like the only thing I could come up with. A recolor. Yay.

It's blurred. Not quite what I wanted. But I'm only going to keep it for a couple days anyway. Yay.

Here is what I originally had. Yay.

I think it was better. Suggest. For the few days we have.

While we're talking about witches, I might as well present another character, whose drawing I did only a couple days after River's, but forgot to show you guys.

This is Karemi. Her head looks weird, I know. But she is an herb witch. She hates River's guts but at the same time likes her. They're buddies but they're not. There's a word for that relationship, but I don't really remember what it's called. But it describes them. (yay)

But yeah, Karemi's your run-of-the-mill brewing-and-cursing witch. She also makes the best tea for miles, so good ol' River here likes to come over uninvited and request some. Karemi doesn't like it of course (to an extent), and she's pretty well known for spiking peoples' drinks and cursing their bodies.

There's a little story behind it. Yes, I'm still working hard on Terminys. Hard enough that I have a screenshot.

Even now, there is a slight element of a shoot-em-up. Wait, I mean….

EVEN NOW, YOUR LOVED ONES SUFFER!

This is River's first boss battle, a sylph like herself with an ethereal crow form. They dated (or whatever the sylph equivalent is to dating) two or three years back. Yes, River dated a crow. She also ate humans.

Feel free to criticize my stuff. I'll even make excuses for you.

But really, by criticism, I mean something helpful. Like what people did last time I showed a sketch. That was all useful stuff.

Don't, however, tell me how bad the HUD is, or how simple the spritework is, or how the crow boss's portrait is a flower. I will swat you.

(yay)

I've decided I didn't want a blurry holiday avatar. Back to the other one.

PUMPKIN REMILIA.

I like both avatars really.

Here's the old one, for people who didn't see its terror (maybe it would be good for Halloween after all. Ugliest avatars).

AT LEAST IT'S PNG.

I've been told this avatar is cooler. BLUR IT IS.

So far so good. Would like to see a demo though, but I can't always have my cake and eat it.

Castypher 13 years, 11 months ago

Well Mazi, I can get a demo going soon. Nearly done with the boss fight and also:

Skippable cutscenes. THANK GOD.

Just one thing. Prefer hard or easy?

mazimadu 13 years, 11 months ago

If there is a way to do it, BOTH.

But from what I played from your last demo, easy

Castypher 13 years, 11 months ago

Heh, the last one was pretty tough. I cut it down a lot in difficulty. I might have to do some damage cuts here too but overall I think it's pretty easy. But whenever a developer says that, he's always wrong.

EDIT: Oh wait, which demo? The one where you play as the same girl or the little kid and his sister?
