I made something again and maybe we should start making "Clestine" GubiD and Minkoff battler templates!

 

[The Data Mage]

To my knowledge, Clest's small template works perfectly for GubiD's battle system because as it stands its a 1 square = 1 unit type battle system that used a normal character sprite set. Though there are bigger versions for his animated type of system which im planning on utilising as soon as i figure out how to template his oversized sprite sheet.

This is Hatsuya's secret admirer in "The Brilliant Green Wave", Kanazawa Hatsumi! She's kinda like Lara Croft but often gets hurt, but sometimes bloody yet it doesn't stop her from fighting!

I based her costume in an MMO called "Secret of Solstice"

 

[The Data Mage]

I still find it funny, people make English games, readable in English, with no referrence to Japan or their Language / Culture... yet still use Japanese/Japanese Imitation names as if they were all common place... X_X

 

[___]

Crazy Japanese names that you can't remember and don't mean anything to you are so fun to try to pronounce :D

 

[The Data Mage]

Its kinda funny that most people that dont understand them dont realise that characters in the name have  meanings... So by making up a Japanese sounding name for their hero could mean that the hero is actually called "Flappingbird Sweatdancer" XP and dont ask where that name came from... just as random as Miyugi Yukazirin...

 

[rikuken]

I wonder, can these be used in VX.

 

[___]

I stick to names I know when picking them for foreign characters personally

 

[The Data Mage]

Or at least something with some research done into it... Like, knowing that calling a character Yuki would be calling it Snow or Sakura - cherryblossom etc.

Anyways, enough slating of Dungs names XP.

*cough* great templates clest, now get online so i can get in contact for some expert feed back on the tileset im basing off of yours XP

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Excuse me, their names are not final and they're just their temporary names. In the game "The Brilliant Green Wave" I'm making, they'll be either bringing their Filipino, American, Japanese, Chinese and Korean names and still researching what to name them.

You know english names have meaning too... ever looked up in one of those big books of baby names and they have about as much important in north america as they do in japan. =\ I mean there are people in japan who pick the names cause of kanji just as there are people all over the world who pick names cause of there meanings but it's probably not as much as you think.

Naming a girl Sakura in japan is the the equivalent  to naming an english girl Jade.

Just make sure you get the right sex for the name and you should be fine.

And back on topic. I love your Hatsumi! I think her sprite is super cute.

 

[The Data Mage]

I know... My name either means strong willed ... or tree (real name not screen name)... but what we actually meant was the random throwing together of syllables to imitate another language name :p

Anyways... CLEST GET ONLINE!!!! XP

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

XP Oh noes and oh yes, now two RMXP guys were in loved with my characters...

Clest loved & liked Mikage and Hatsuyashi

and now...

cactus likes & loves Hatsumi-chan! Meeeh!!!

Hatsumi by the way is a glasses-girl (Megane) yet loved to wear something weirdly cute such as the beginner's clothes in an MMO called Secret of Solstice (that ripped-off Ragnarok Online!?)

BTW:
Hatsuya means "first arrow". Hatsu - first; Ya- arrow
Hatsumi means "first beauty". Hatsu - first; Mi- beauty
Hatsuyashi implies "first arrow/way of death. Hatsu- first; Ya- arrow (also implied as way or direction); Shi- four*

*FROM TVTROPES.ORG:"Four" and "Death", despite being written differently, sound exactly the same in Japanese (shi). As a cultural trope, it's often treated like the number 13 in the west, to the point building floors and apartments are (mis)numbered accordingly, and some prefer to say "yon" (another word for four) instead of "shi". (This superstition is present in other Asian countries, as well - in Chinese, the two are near-homophones, differing only in tone, which is enough to cause the same stigma.)

Villainous groups of four are often given the name of Shitennou, a reference to the Four Heavenly Kings, Buddhist guardian gods of the four cardinal directions.

A major example is how many villains' organizations in anime have four major characters, while you're more likely to see heroes in groups of three or five.

Hatoru is just a made-up 'cuz I kinda made it cute to my green-haired character.

Dung Beetle anyone? I picked that name 'cuz of a certain character in Bokurano (the cute white evil plushie guy)

NexS: I well adding lots of dirt and weathing on a sprite is a killer to animate as much as cammouflage, which is why most sprites which require a lot of animation in games doesn´t get this treatment. But maybe making the overall colors stronger and reducing the shiniest colors brightness give a good feel too.

Hatsu: Clestine? I just hope ppl doesn´t think I am a girl more than ppl do with this... >.< (Really, Clest has bought me a lot of trouble with guys trying to hit on me via internet >.>)
But I would love to see my templates being spread, I made then as they are because I liked their proportions, so seeing ppl use then to make nice charsets will be great.

Btw, love the girl too, really cute :3
The guy with two guns looks great as well

Alicix: Forgot to tell you, but I hardly come online on weekneds, specially on msn, mainly cause I tend to only acess internet via lan houses by then. See you soon though :P

 

[Eriol Clowphengire]

Okay, I think it deserves the following names, I mean species:

Clestian
Clestine (this sounds girly :P)
Artalions (from your game Artal?)
Hoshi-Hikarijin (Star Light People?)

EDIT: @Clest, do you have child templates, big guy templates or anything that this Hoshi-Hikarijin template of yours doesn't have (I'm thinking of following suit to Half Kaizers... [they had fat guys, bigguns, oldies and I think we need some lolitas too.]

 

[Clest]

Artal is mostly lkeft aside, it became the bvasis for my actual project Star Light Romance

And nham, nope, no child or other so variations, I may make child at least for my small template, but the bigger one I am not working, though anyone willing to work on it is welcome

 

[BunnyKinx]

well clest if you are working on this template for me you are more then welcome to publish for the whole community to use :D and then you will have a complete set :D

 

[Clest]

Nice, thanks Bunny
It will benefit us in the end when we get to play games with characters based on thoise templates
