Necromancer means magic associated with dead things.

A typical goal of a necro would be animating an army of undead... Or becoming a Lich, if he is lucky. Laughing

The current models for the necro, the lich, warlock, etc. all look very similar with the hooded cloak.

Yes, that's what I meant. The Grim Reaper is simply supposed to kill, while the Necromancer animates stuff!

Just a fancy word for a "ghost", really.

Revenant sounds pretty good, Fancy words are always nice Very Happy

Revenant - a corpse that returns from the grave

Maybe "Harvey the Harvester"? JK

Agent of Dread · Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:23 pm Post subject:

Or Revenant from Soulcalibur III?
But, back to the actual development, I have finished the scythe's model except for the skin! Mad

How do you skin on Golem?

Here is a quick code I tought up with

PurpleSquerkle · Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2007 8:58 pm Post subject:

Ooh, nice. I'll put that in there, then, when I'm ready. I think I should be able to do the eat anim, that's simple enough for me as I can just make him crouch down and, um, look like he's eating. (I'm assuming that's what the argument in the second-to-last line is for, but I could be wrong.)

Yep.. Just make him crouch and maybe bob his head or something... Lot of blood and gurgly sounds Twisted Evil

We will turn this sweet little game into a grotesque monstrosity!

Um, grotesque monstrosity may be going a bit too far, but...

I think it was originally my idea. Embarassed

Magic words- Cartoon violence.
Because, you know, cartoons are pretty violent. Like Tom and Jerry. Seriously, when's the last time you saw that? It was probably not recent enough. Things get sliced to pieces, but it's funny because they aren't human.
Most foes in Egoboo are not human.
Still. Eating monster corpses is pretty evil.

...But I wouldn't be surprised if I saw it in a cartoon Very Happy

I'm wondering what in the world you're talking about. Besides, it would be a better idea, for the script, to simply have the creature have a really big mouth or something and eat the body in one bite...but that's if the creature is HUGE.

We're talking about a Vampyre Very Happy

Which, by the way, is lookin' pretty nice, if I do say so myself.
All four textures are done (although the last one is a "Horror Film Costume" that's just the first armor only in greyscale, which doesn't make much of a difference with the pale-skinned, black-garbed vampyre, but still. I'd say it's at least noticeable). Yay! Scripting time.
