  1. Only one thing's bothering me, it's the pacing of the shots and general camera movement: it's like I'm watching the video at 0.75 speed. Fight scenes are supposed to be snappy, but I'm not sure if I'm looking at a showcase or an dynamic animation sequence. I guess what I'm saying boils down to "I'm whining because I wanted it to be more fast-paced".

     

    The SFX are really good, how'd you make them? Same goes with the lighting to some extent. The models' key poses are fun, showy and easy to read, and it shows in the animation. Try to give some extra attention to your in-betweens, because it's especially hard to translate weight and momentum in 3D animation. 

     

     I'm guessing you took the base models from a site similar to vg-resources, then remodeled, added some geometry and redid the textures? If you're willing to explain your workflow, that be cool.

    I wonder where to check my current relation points? I played two runs with over 200h each but I don't know where I could look them up 😄 And it's too long ago to remember all small details

    Easiest way is to download SWM modular modpack ( https://www.rebornevo.com/forums/topic/24930-swm-modular-modpack-e1840/ ). Backup your saves when using mods, of course, but "SWM - PredictRelationshipValues" allows you to use Psychic out of battle to display your relationships points. Or you could also use RPG Maker if you got it.

    Sorry it was a bit long, I went into progressively more detail as I went along. Anyway have fun!

    I plan on having fun tinkering with team setups, that's for sure. That's really a comprehensive overview, thanks for taking some of your time: all those are neat things to know. I'm curious though, why Stunfisk?

    And as someone who also played through Reborn with a Rainbow team using Rain and Sun, I'd like to give some suggestions if you don't mind.

    So it's called a rainbow team? Noice. And thanks for the feedback, it's cool. (If I didn't want to know what other people think, I might as well not post.)

    I really like that team tho. Infernape is really good, and Mantine and Steelix are a great combo since they cover each other's weaknesses very well.

     

    [Happy newb noises] 

     

    For Magnezone I knew the setup wouldn't work, and I'm thinking of adding Torkoal like you said, I really like the lil guy. I kinda want to keep Magnezone though, he can really help in a pinch... Also I'm really liking Sonic boom thanks for that.

     

    I could set up Wiggly to praise the sun really hard, but its not the most efficient. The reason why I added Wiggly was that, out of memory, I'm leaving myself open to psychic/fairy/dragon if Infernape or Mantine faints. Wiggly's supposed to be a backup support for that, but its not too crucial.

    For Infernape, since the Swords Dance TM doesn't exist yet, it would be interesting to use a special or mixed set, with Nasty Plot/Work Up and Fire Pledge (Fire Pledge gets boosted by 1.5x on Rainbow field, additionally to the sun boost, so it's Infernape's best Fire move when Rainbow field is active).  Would be nice if Vacuum Wave was possible to get for a special set

    I did think Infernape was a good mixed attacker. Depending on the foe it might even deal mor damage. Goes to show that min-maxing isn't always the best. Thanks for another great suggestion. Should I keep Iron Fist? Don't think so, especially since Sun Wukong over there isn't necessarily to tanky.

     

    Also U-Turn's and Sword Dance aren't available in-game? (My disappointment is immesurable and my day is ruined) Not gonna cheat for that, so I'll work with. 

  5. This whole premise began because I wanted to build a quaint competitive team for a reborn playthrough. There's this saying in french, "Après la pluie, le beau temps" or "After the rain, [comes] nice weather", and I wanted to make a team around that. There's a lot to fix, I feel like EV repartission and some teammates could use some work for starters.

    Modest/Calm Nature
    - Hydropump
    - Hurricane 
    - Ice Beam

    One of the MVPs, way too biased on that one. Named him Waver because I'm watching too much FATE lately.

     

    Magnezone

    Spoiler

    EVs: 56 HP / 252 Spa / 200 Spe

    Steelix

    Adamant Nature
    - Stealth Rock

    Just meant to be his annoying chonky self. Steel Roller effectively ends the weather cycle and hurts like a truck. 

     

    Infernape

    Spoiler

    Naive/Jolly Nature
    - Fire Punch
    - U-Turn
    - Mach Punch
    - Sword Dance

    Gets a boost from Mags' Sunny Day. Usually sent first or last. Trying to play with his moveset, it works but its a bit bland.

     

    Wigglypuff

    Spoiler

    Wigglypuff @ Life Orb
    Ability: Competitive
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Spa / 4 Spe
    Modest Nature
    - Dazzling Gleam
    - Hyper Beam 
    - Heal Bell
    - Copycat

    The empty slot, so to speak. Not the best, but he covers a lot of weak points. Must susceptible to change. 

  6. Just another tidbit for people still reading, if you want a good free software that's very similar to photoshop, I personally use KRITA. ( https://krita.org/fr/ )

     

    Just a warning, it's not the best for sprite art, like PiskelApp or heck even paint.net, but all of those are good.

    It really just comes down to working with a tool that you feel comfortable with both in terms of learning curve and features. 

  7. I'm thinking a lot of things right now:

     

    Spoiler

    1. Trans Fern is the headcanon I didn't know I had and I thank you for it

    2. Your avatar is staring at me like it wants a very steamy tête-à-tête in an alleyway behind McDonalds and I don't like it

    3. Honestly fuck Bennet and his equally asinine hair , that's 100% valid

    4. Please come back one day, that's quality content right there

    I really love Dolsidian, the idea of an underground whale is so cool. The colors go really well together and the overall design is nice to look at.

    I got an idea if you'd like: colored patterns on the glass armor. 😁

     

    Spoiler

    1. Snowflake obsidian 2. Glass%2BButtes%2BDouble%2BFlow%2Bobsidian.png

    1. Snowflake Obsidian

    2. Patterns on impure obsidian

     

    Iron and other contaminants can give obsidian a yellow to red color. Or when clustered crystals form into the dark glass, it makes patterns that looks like snow, or bubbles.

    I decided to make some seasonal pokemon sprites today, and was originally planning to make only torterra, but you guys seem to like it so I made 2 more.

    ps: if you couldnt tell, mightyena is also winter, but i dont know if the doggo will have an easy time with the snow :C he try

    Leafeon must have been hell to shade, it's really pretty. Torterra is good; it could have used a duller brown for the legs along with more "weight" or "puffiness" to make the snow look a lil' less flat. Mightyena's adorable, they really look like a gnarly husky. 😁

    Additionally, it would be fun to join Team Meteor with the mission of infiltrating and destroying from within-but to have to do so without getting caught or noticed.

    Whether from an unnerving/tragic position of disempowerment (like Evi Crystal said) or in tenseful scenario of undercover espionnage, I feel like working under Meteor would have been a huge opportunity to see its inner workings and explore the repercussions of its hierachy and morality on the characters. 

     

    Imagine being forced to work under Lin, watching you like an hawk knowing full well you're not a grunt after the PULSE Abra fight, and reaching a fickle mutual understanding with Sirius as not to die lol.Or, given his respect for MC's strength, how about being given an offer to join by Solaris, sprinkled in with a good ol' "you remind me of my younger self" bullcrap after a fight with him? Both scenarios could potentially throw the player in this very gray area of moral choices, while also allowing you to discuss & work with previously established antagonists, (and maybe even get attached to a few endearing grunts) before cutting ties for good.

    i've only seen the trailer, but it looks kinda interesting.

     

    Can you give me a rundown of who it's about and what they're trying to accomplish, without going into spoiler territory? Sell it to me.

    Did you finally get around watching it? Just in case, here is my impecable summary for those who may follow:

    "Local simp boy follows Onee-san to a dumb baby Battle Royale to avoid another decade of pure isolation and crippling depression. Also chonky Agumon is there, it's great."

     

  12. Hi, name's Promethe, I have no idea what I'm doing.

     

    It's not cleaned yet, I want get a good grasp of the shapes first, but I got into a big ol' mess this week. I started mashing gen4 battle sprites together at the speed of mach 4 to make a base for my reborn oc-do-not-steal.™ Naturally, when given the chance I draw a non-binary twunk.

     

    Gardenia's arm looks fine with gloves, but I need to change the shading else it'll look weird as only skin (see pic#2).  The other thing is Byron's forearm. Not that smacking people with a shovel isn't a respectable sport but my character's an ex-ranger, nor a miner. I guess it'd look cool with a staff or sword but  1. why and 2. I'm not that edgy (I think huuh).  I guess I could just put a briefcase or a medical kit so the silhouette's still readable??

  13. I know it's been a year but the thread's still open soooooo... let me at it, if you still want some back and forth. It's a pretty emotionally complex character already, so bravo. Just like you said, the challenge will be to make him feel human. Keep track of their characterization, make it consistent in a way you're confortable with. It can be a character sheet, sporadic notes, pretty much anything. 

     

    For me, the best way is to "study" real people. Ask folks you know (if they are open to it) on their experiences,  visit forums, read documentation. How do people in similar positions to Officer K. A Snide live? What is it like to live with (approximations of) those experiences, emotional baggage, trauma or illnesses all pertaining to your character?

    Uhh...the truth is I don't have that much. I deleted the three chapters I did have, because I wasn't happy with them. So now all I have is the prologue, which I'm unsure if I should even post yet.

     

    But, thank you. I'm still a bit worried, but what you said is reassuring. ^-^

    If I were you, I would keep the drafts.

    It's alright if you don't want to, mine physically hurt when I reread them,   Why not come back to it weeks, or months later? It's a good opportunity to analyse why the chapter(s) didn't sit right with you. Was it the wording, the pacing, the structure, the story, something else?

     

    It's fine to scrap writing, heck sometimes it's needed to continue on the right track, but you can always recycle & learn from your past attempts and that itself is pretty reassuring. It's good to keep the ✨HOLY TRINITY✨ of Goals, Obstacles and Stakes in mind, too.

    Pretty neat art style, it's cute. It's hard to mix soft and cell shading, but it looks neat & professional. Kudos dude.

  16. Ye, Haxorus & Gyarados are nice (Absol too, I'd take that alt form) but for some reason I really like Ho-Oh. It's got the classic colors but it looks like it's actually made of light, and if I had to guess it's because of the transparency/harsh shadows effect. Pretty cool, must've took some time.
