Battle Gem Ponies DevLog #149 (Stuck on Alicorns)
(Art by Jowybean)
An example of epic looking MLP alicorns in action.
Progress has been stalled this week as the final few pony designs are being turned into pixel art. The sprites just didn't seem to fit the idea of "The Epic Legendary Alicorns" in a way that made me picture players saying "I want that one!" so I keep drafting new ways to make these ponies look a little cooler than the other ones.
For the love of me I just can't figure it out. Spent way too much time staring at the sprites and starting over. Not to mention their alternate forms related to their special capture mechanics. Those have to look feeble in comparison, yet still cool and capable of combat.
This is tricky, and it may take another couple days to get everything all cleaned up, but I want the placeholders and base sprites done in time to start programming after devlog #150. But for the time being, get DevLog #149 below...
