Haha, it's alright.

But we should really consider a showcasing site for the finished sheets.

If you read my last post I said I could make one for you guys

Peardian seems to be the most organized here, and I think he has some website-knowledge. Let's see what is said.

@Luigi: Yeah, but until that happens, it's still a WIP. :P
@Lakigeist: Well, he hardly has any animations that a normal Lakitu doesn't have, which is rather weird considering he's a boss. He should at least have some kind of dramatic "ARGH I'M DYING" animation of some kind. Also, I'm not sure how his second form ties in, but they look very different from each other with no animation to switch between them... You could also sprite his lighting strike and whatever he may use. (Bony Beetle egg maybe?)

@website: Isn't there already some kind of website dedicated to the progress of the project? We could use that.

@my web skills: I know how to do HTML and CSS, but I know nothing about maintaining a website or anything like that. I could design it, but I'd have no idea how to keep it up to date unless it was a blog. :(



Edit: oh, guess that site is gone now. :(

I can update the website but Peardian did you read my pm 2days ago and did you like it?

I noticed a lack of Spiny's (for there being Lakitus). I may one soon. I was planning to do a Bumpty or Bandit next.

Peardian, if you can design the site and such, I can try to keep it up to date, as can others.

Well, Flamedragon made a forum, but that isn't really what I had in mind.
Peardian, where are you?

Sure, I can design a site, but we should make another topic to discuss it. ;D


And sure, Armada, go ahead. Just make sure it goes well with Lakitu. ;D




Oh, and MR21, I have a question regarding the style. What does the style say about objects of a solid color? Like Kamikaze's Bob-omb for example.

I guess just lighter shades of the solid black to make it look 3D. And I'll start a topic if you haven't already.

DO not edit without my permission.


Also MR21, thats what the pulling animation was for.

Goomba should be done by sunday.

LUIGI THINK'S HE'S AN AIRPLANE

XD

@Irock, lol

And... update on Lakigeist!

Lakigeist: Boss of some sort of haunted world?


Mario will fight Lakigeist on an arena made of bricks, some which will explode and some that will release items. Lakigeist throws either bony beetles or bombs, which explode immediately instead of Spinys. Lakigeist is surrounded by four Lakitus who throw speedy Spinys at Mario. Once Lakigeist is jumped on, he'll go into his shell and a large spike will appear from his shell. Mario must dodge the spike three times before Lakigeist will return to normal. In Form Two, Lakigeist hides behind his cloud, which is basically a Vampire-esque creature that does most of the fighting. You cannot jump on the Vampire-like cloud, for Lakigeist's spiky shell protects him. Lakigeist Form Two will shoot lighting and try to bite you. The only way to stop Lakigeist's second form is to wait for a lightning strike to hit one of the bricks (some will hold items, others will break when hit) and get an item, such as a bomb, a shell, etc, to throw at the cloud. Once each form is hit three times, Lakigesit's cloud will shrink then get larger a few times, and then he'll die in a cloud of smoke and the player will get (treasure, a piece of the talisman, something along those lines?) a reward and the battle will conclude.

Lakitu update: I made a cool version of Lakitu for interchangability. It's uh, kinda like the SMW Lakitu. I like it, but I don't know if you guys will.

Try to make the shell spikes more noticable to aware the player cannot jump on it.

Maybe a quick cutscene when he changes forms could show Mario try to jump on him and then holding his foot?
That'd be awesome IMO.

A cutscene in the middle of a battle might confuse the player.

It would be better to have the spikes come out exaggerated with a slick metallic sound and retract back to normal size, just to establish their presence and make them more menacing.

Point taken.

But the game makers can add the shiny metallic sound and the spikes coming out. :O

Anyway, any more moves Mario should have?
