Press F to pay respects to the fallen heroes. They won't be hard to redraw, but i'm going to do it tomorrow, too angry and bummed out today. The good news is that I have saved one set in time. Shrine maiden set, in thin, normal and thicc variants, together with that swingy paper exorcism stick thing I forgot the name of. Could be a weapon for healer class, probably for foxes, they're usually cast as japanese stand-in. For this set I have included upper and lower parts separately so they would fit on different upper body/lower body combinations.
I also completed something else, on sheer rage alone. Meet the imp race. These little tricksters come from the hell/heck/shadow realm and are ready to make the world above their playground! Would there be a hero to put an end to their plans? Probably no, as this game has no heroes yet, but a big enough army should do the trick.
A bit on imp customization options and sprite differences, since I kinda went overboard there.
Eyes: There are several different types, some of them quite bizarre. I had plenty of fun drawing them, but sadly one of my favorite designs (just a huge maw for the entire face) is a big headache to iron out quirks of. I'll post it later in separate post and let Aurilika be the judge of whether it would work.
Breasts: Since shortstacks should be, well, stacked, I decided to omit the flat version. If you guys want it, i could add ones more authenic to a certain character i am ripping off without shame. A note that bigger breasts best should go into the layer above the belly but otherwise is fine too.
Hair: since imps have smaller head size standard hair and imp hair aren't compatible without tweaking. Nothing to say otherwise, it's pretty standard stuff.
Body pigmentation: no, it's not clothing layer, i'm adding clothing later when i'm done being angry. Body pigmentation is just a way to have two-toned bodies in the game (and it could fit other races too especially if there'll be a way to make races more furry), it goes on a layer above skin but below large breasts/clothing. This also is why imp skin tones should be lighter, for contrast between the unpigmented and pigmented body.
Weapons: since imps are smaller, they use their own sprites for weapons.
Belly: since imps are smaller, they only have 12 grades for bellies, as 13-16 look absurd and comical on them. 12 is already pushing "bowling ball with arms and legs" territory.
So, that's it. There are probably some alignment hiccups somewhere, but, eh, later. Now that my race is completed i can go back to making armor sets. Oh, right, if you guys want some costume/armor in the game, feel free to PM me the picture and i'll add them to my "to-do" list.
That is quite unfortunate about losing that progress. I know how that is. I almost lost some of my progress on the map editor because I was testing it and a button didn't work, I go to look and I had somehow deleted like 80 lines of code last night without causing any compile errors. I was trying to undo to check something but apparently my brain failed in the middle and didn't re-do. Thankfully I was saved by source control though. I like the shrine maiden outfits too, though now I need to find an excuse to use them.
The imps look well polished, I'm looking forward to getting them into the game. You've put my compound bow sprite to shame though.
As I've said before I'm definitely on board with more furriness. Body pigmentation should be simple, code wise.

Also, did you see my opinion on the proposed weight gain? On how keeping it contained to individual battles would be pointless?
Yeah, I've got a temporary system up where it's just for the life of the character, every time they absorb someone, they go up a leg size and breast size.

I also included the tree as being brown but now that I look at it I kinda think it'd be best to keep it the same color as the team color.
Looks good, I'm in the middle of implementing them and would probably have forgotten about the sprite until I made a game with them and had messed up icons.
