Behold! Monica's Battle Character Sprite Sheet

Characters in typical RPG Maker MVs come in three forms, really. The first is the walking animation sprite for overworlds and dungeons. The second is a face for portrait images in the game menu and in dialogue. The third and final is in battle sprites. Not all characters need all three, some can even be spared to just one if necessary. However, for a party member in a game like Legends of Adrigal, Monica needs a combination of all three.

I'm pleased to present Monica's battle character sprite sheet, edited from a RPG Maker MV base character in the program's character generator. All the poses remain the same among all characters, but I do think I might change up some for special characters in the future. Regardless, this was all done in GIMP 2.0, which I found very helpful in editing the sprites, copying bits and pieces from frames I already did, and pasting parts to new frames. As I said in the article headline, behold!

This sprite sheet based off an RPG Maker MV custom creator sprite was worked on in the wee small hours of early this morning and finished this afternoon. What do you think?

The Enemies of Legends of Adrigal - Part Two

After some major victories, such as me FINALLY graduating college and walking across the aisle (more on that later), Legends of Adrigal is back in development! Between real life and working on SuperPhillip Central, my time was limited. Regardless, I'm back with another batch of enemies from Legends of Adrigal to talk about. Get ready, hunker down, and relax, because we have some foes to read up on!

If you're interested in part one, look no further than this link!

Note: Don't mind any imperfections in the enemy art: The enemies are much smaller in-game, making things like imperfect lines impossible to see unless you zoom in to crazy amounts!

BUSHYTAIL 

Many enemies in Legends of Adrigal are based off real world animals. As you can probably tell by both the design and the name of this enemy, Bushytail is based off a squirrel. These foes are quite mischievous, always causing trouble, ruining crops, and just resulting in hijinks for the people of Adrigal. They're not the strongest of enemies in the game, appearing early on, but as the adage goes, don't judge a squirrel by its tail. Or something like that.

GIGANT

Another enemy based off a real world animal, this time an insect, Gigant is a portmanteau of "giant" and "ant." Wait. It's a GIANT FREAKING ANT!!! Gigants appear early on in Legends of Adrigal just like Bushytails, and they come in various varieties. Some are Fire Gigants, analogous to the fire ants in our world, but even more dangerous and painful! Their bites are quite harsh to feel, so steer clear of their mandibles! Then again, in a turn-based RPG, you can't really dodge unless you're lucky with the RNG, so just take your pain and try to just survive the battle!

BATTY

Not just the name of the enemy, but it's also what this wing-flapping creature will drive you-- Batty! But let's first focus on its cuteness. Look at those eyes. Look at those teeth. Look at that adorable, little bow-tie it wears! Swoon... But wait. What is it doing? Why is it biting me?!! GODDD, someone help me!!! Yes, Batty might appear cute at first, but like any monster that gets bugged (or batted in this case), it will turn on its enemy quite quickly. They're relatively weak, but they fly in packs.

RATFINK

These little cheese-eaters scamper about within the Dorter Mine. They don't usually cause too much of a problem for the workers and miners there-- maybe occasionally chewing on wires and such-- but lately they've gotten more rabid and vicious. Does the recent cave-in at the mine have something to do with that? While they won't try to eat their enemies, they will bite them like teeth tearing through cheese. Uh... the holes are supposed to be in the wedges of cheese, not Casey and his party! Watch out!

HOLEY MOLEY

Hiding in their holes and then popping up to cause travelers trouble, Holey Moleys aren't as mischievous as Bushytails, but they can be one pain in the you-know-what. It wouldn't be so bad if they weren't cowards who play a trick and attack passersby, but instead they play a trick, attack passersby, and then hide in their holes. You little scamps! Holey Moley's design is based off of a non-RPG enemy this time around, the Monty Mole from Super Mario World. 

BULLUBUBUNNY

An enemy with a name as fun to say as the creature is to look at! Bullububunnies are normally docile and sweet creatures, but for some mysterious reason, some in the Adrigal Kingdom have grown hostile, just many other ordinarily harmless animals. Bullbubunnies are as big as normal human beings, and their curved ears can help with wind resistance. Plus, they're just so darned cute!

SLITHA

"I think I can, I think I can! I know I can do it!" That's what small Slithas say to themselves as they slither around the Dakhar Desert. They might not be the biggest or most dangerous snakes in the desert, but Slithas are able to survive in the harsh climate and sandstorms Dakhar delivers onto its inhabitants, snakes and humans alike. Slithas usually attack merely because of being afraid, and many have partners to go scouting with. Be a pal and don't bully these little guys and gals!

TANKTUSK

Tanktusks are enemies that can also be found in the Dakhar Desert, but these are way more of a challenge and a threat than Slithas. Armed with twin titan cannons and hardcore shelling, this mammoth-inspired monster is quite the enemy. Still, all a Tanktusk would rather do is march slowly across the desert. It will leave you alone as long as you leave it alone in turn. Though that may be hard to do if the rumors of the rare drops that defeated Tanktusks give victorious warriors are true...

Thanks for coming along with me on this second look at more enemies from Legends of Adrigal. I gotta keep working hard to create even more enemies while keeping a good variety of types and designs! I hope you enjoyed these enemies and will continue to be interested in the progress of my game!
