Oh, yeah, the blue is a tattoo, or actually more temporary so more like warpaint. I think it would make more sense if you looked at the other skins, since they're different (changing the armor should change scars, although the best armor for my pirate is missing an ear, heh. I got annoyed trying to position it so I just took it off and gave him a big old scar there ).

Haha very nice work there "This is Bishopia!"

Mind if I maybe use some of them in the Game Manual?

Ooh, that's a good use for pictures.
This is making me wish I could show you guys my pictures. I should be able to; I'll work on that. It may take a while though...

Go ahead Zefs. Though they aren't really colored......

@Purple, I get it. I really like his design and everything. Mind telling me more about this class? Like special abilities and such?

[PurpleSquerkle]

Yeah, it occurs to me that I haven't really explained it since his first release a while ago.
I think I may post wiki pages for all the classes and add the ones I've finished / the ones I'm working on and I know are going to be finished (Druid and Pirate... although I haven't ruled out bus accidents yet, like I said earlier. Maybe I should make that a "probably.").
In other words, I don't have time right now.

Ah, speaking of artwork. You could make a new splash screen for Egoboo. It should have black fading borders like the ones we use now. We could even make randomly pictures appear in the background, each time you enter the menu.

[PurpleSquerkle]

That would be cool.
I may work on one (it probably won't be around until at the very least the version after next, because I have to figure out this scanner or something).

OK, I have time to explain the Hobgoblin now.
As a race-
The hobgoblins are generally sort of cruel and nasty. They have highly advanced technology (generally they're sort of a "science fiction" or perhaps "science fantasy" race) that channels latent magical/mental energy they naturally possess (and as such anyone else is completely baffled by their technology and can't operate it properly as it has no source of energy). They used to live in a city in the sky (Mycorf is making this city), but were banished because the other residents (mostly mechanical) grew tired of their violent nature. They settled on land in a smaller and slightly less advanced city. Their government is a Republic of sorts, but their counsel and dictator are severely corrupt most of the time, and government position is usually obtained by propaganda and assassination. The hobgoblins generally despise all other races, especially humans, and almost never allow them into their city (so there probably will never be one made for them).
As a class-
When the hobgoblins received word of the king's capture, the dictator passed a law declaring any who went off to rescue him was an enemy of their race and should be hunted down and killed. The counsel established groups of hunters to seek out those who wished to help the humans, but some escaped nonetheless. The hobgoblin class is sort of an anti-hero. Their motivations are unclear, but they do seem to wish to save the king, so they are accepted but generally not trusted. They're pretty violent and suchlike, but not quite as cruel as the rest of their race.
Their max. EXP special ability is levitation, and their skill is the ability to manipulate their magic technology such as the Azureflame spewer (small cannonlike device that shoots blue fireballs that have heavy splash damage), the Tazer Tranch (A tranch-shaped claw that electrocutes enemies), and the Bubbleblaster (A time-triggered mine that launches sticky bubbles that attach to enemies and harm them).
I'm going to revise the current weapons (this is probably like the third revision, but oh well) and add a couple more (So they're going to have like five, that's more than the G'nome's three , but this isn't until after I've finished the Someone should make some more G'nome things, actually, like a flamethrower...), but that's not until after I've finished the Pirate and Druid.

Since we seem to be incorporating SDL_image, the borders could be anything you want. I can take them and convert the image to be transparent at the edge so it would blend into WHATEVER color background we want to use.

[Zefz]

Aye, that is correct. It should make things more easy. We have to fix that transparency bug somehow, its quite ugly. The source also messed up water textures, have you noticed anything about this?

Oh, what's wrong with the transparency?

Just something source code related. There are happening a lot of changes. Changes and new features always introdouce new bugs too (And in this case, fixin one, creates another new bug).

I did notice some oddity in the water at the Abyss...... I thought it was normal, but it did look odd. I encountered another bug where the game froze , but I'm not sure what triggered it......

@ Purple. Nice description there. So they are an alien-like in the world of Egoboo..... Very interesting indeed. I like the concept behind their background and everything. I would try making a starter image for it after I play the actual starter.... You know... Just to get the feel from it.... XD

[PurpleSquerkle]

Yeah, it's probably better to not do a picture before there's even a starter.
