NEW! TL:Community Template - The Elemental Wars - By Clest

[BunnyKinx]

TL:Community Template v1
Code Name : NEO
By : Clest
Request By : Bunnykinx

The Concept
As im sure your all aware there are already to many templates littering the RMXP community. Out of the masses of templates only a small few have been accepted, HK and the cute Breeze being two of the main ones. What im also sure most of you have noticed there is a great lack of 8 direction higer frame count templates. We and the rest of the team hope to fill that gap. TL:C Template v1 will come complete with a script to make it run smooth and simply with many options and sprite sheets to choose from. there will be 5 OFFICIAL releases of the template. Male, Female, Child, Fat and Old. Also with the problems around Tilesets we thought it would be best to make them fit well with the HK tilesets. Thats the reason behind the template. now lets see it.

WIP
here are the WIPs for the directions we have so far.

Thanks people more updates to come

 

[Bestone]

wow, this is way superior to the hk template in my opinon, not tryin to knock hk here, But i personally am of the opinion if your gonna make it that size it should look realistic.

This looks very good, im impressed

 

[coyotecraft]

I agree! It looks great. But the last 2 frames with the back diagonal view have no neck. It looks like the base of the skull fused with the shoulders.
I'd totally use this template. Mainly for the Diagonal views.

 

[BunnyKinx]

Ahhhh did not notice that on the neck.. thanks That will be fixed before the next update

 

[kenpokis]

I really like this template. I don't really see anything wrong besides the neck. Do you think I could use it once completed? Clest is the best.
:smile:

 

[BunnyKinx]

I have to agree that Clest is amazing. and would always be my first choice.

I see no problem with you using it when finished. Infact we are hoping to get as many people using it as possible. I think it could be a good edition to the the HKCPe as it is the same size. we will also release the scripts required to run it + a anti lag script.

If you feel up to it I would love to see what you could come up with by spriting on that first frame

 

[kenpokis]

I am trying it out right now. I can surely say this is the most fun i've ever had spriting on a template. :smile:

 

[BunnyKinx]

cool im really glad you feel that way.
its a great start to this templates life.

 

[Clest]

Hey, thank you guys for all the nice compliments =^.^=

And yes, the back diagonal needs work, not just on the neck but on the arms too, just saw it now, then will work on the walking animations

Hope to see nice things made with it from you people

 

[mawk]

This looks really, really nice. With all the great WIP templates here, you guys are making it really tough to make my decision. : P

Really, very nice work. Now, am I understanding everything correctly when I think the end result is going to be publicly released? I speak only with my own selfish interests in mind. : P

 

[Clest]

Yep, the end result will be released openly

Glad you are interested in it, I will try to correct and finish it soon =^.^=

 

[BunnyKinx]

Yea public release is the aim. The game we are making with it is going to (hopefully) be none commercial. but as im paying out for alot of the resources and I cannot get someone to help make tilesets for free then im afraid it may need to be a commercial game. but the template will remain free as its part of the agreement i have with Clest.

we will have 100s of sprites made for it when the games finished. I was thinking about maybe doing something like the HKCP and making something to allow you to make sprites very easy.

If anyone would like to help us sprite onto this project then please feel free.

Why isn't Clest able to post his own work for critique?

 

[BunnyKinx]

I dont know... just this is how me and him have always done things. I make a list of everything that needs doing and he does the work... I suppose it helps by putting a barrier up so that he dont have to deal with everything.

and cause im paying him for it. i suppose its between me and him when it comes down to it how we want it...

but good question. never thought about it. The first time i did it was cause he was busy and I do it each time now lol.

but anyway forget the politics and tell me what you think about the template :D lol

 

[Despain]

Critique would feel more useful if I were actually talking to the creator in person. Hell, you said it yourself.

it helps by putting a barrier up so that he dont have to deal with everything.

I mean, your own comment makes me not want to waste my time giving a critique that would be ignored. I think it seems more like you're just trying to show off these sprites, rather than looking for actual criticism. Because if that was the case, most artists would prefer first-hand interaction.

 

[Clest]

Let me explain it better: When I work on a comissioned piece I just hand the piece to the client in particular, and leave it as theirs, after all they pay for it.

So showing or releasing it to public is their decision not mine, even if I want to post something online to self promotion I ask my clients if they agree.

Now despite the fact that Xcomu opened the topic, I post here and read all comments in person and reply to then directly, so if you want to make comments or discuss something with me, just post it directed to me and I will reply

However, I am working for Xcomu and my main concern is that he is happy with the result, though I believe that he is as open as I am to changing things so no problem taking criticism or ideas posted here, after all this is the topic´s objactive.

 

[BunnyKinx]

lol much better said that what i could have done.

but clest is more then welcome to post his own thread instead. also the thing is I use this thread to show loads of team made examples and also little bits of jokes... look for the TLE template v1 for more instances (also made by clest)

I currently have 2 people playing with the template and good reports so far.

 

[kenpokis]

I really enjoy spriting on it. Here is what I came up with. It's still not all the way done; I just thought I would show what I did with it. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s300 ... e_test.png[/img] The only thing I thought could maybe be improved was to make it a little bigger for more detail.

 

[BunnyKinx]

we will know for sure when we see what clest sprites on it

 

[Clest]

Awesome Kempokis, I like the way the cloth seems rippled
Keep up the good work

As for making it bigger, you gotta remember that it will kill you when animating and the extra details may not exactly be seen or noticied in game. With even smaller sprites commercial companies make really outstanding sprites. It is all matter of finding the best way to work with each size =^.^=
