[Fleeting Frames]

An errant thought strikes my head: Adventure mode has visible view cones when sneaking.

1) Testing should probably include these; I recall some tilesets didn't handle the colorswap well.
2) Creatures could change facing depending on which way they face.

1) +1
2) I believe 4 sprites for each creature would be too much, but a right/left flip depending on the most recent of the two directions might be nice, as long as the flipped shading doesn’t look all too strange.

[Fleeting Frames]

Depending on sprites, shapes and tilemask, the shading could be not swapped, i.e. containing shading for both directions and a tilemask that ensures only one of those is displayed.

Alternatively, shading could be desribed in the raws and calculated on save load.

Facing would only work if we use topdown sprites or add unique sprites for it. Considering the 3000-ish creature sprites, that's a tall order. Around 9000 extra sprites.

Testing will of course include adv mode.

Boy I’m eager to see some news !
Whenever you can, feed us mike and meph, with some delicious sprites

I really want to see some different human sprites with different hairs and beards etc...

[Mike Mayday]

Oh, um, sorry guys.
Here's a summary of most creatures I've done (Meph has done hundreds more

[tpssurvivor]

I just love the shading of the sprites! Makes it so unique! Keep up the good work lads!

[Meph]

And here's some current WIPs of civs.

Hit me in my face! This is AWESOME!

[Superdorf]

Your kobold strikes a nice balance between "creepy Toady crayon drawings" and "cutebold".

[Mike Mayday]

That is precisely what I was aiming for so I'm glad

I love these. Both the civs sprites and your animal sprites, Mayday. Comparing them to their earlier versions you can really see a lot of polish went into them. I don’t quite recognize all of them though.

At the end of the first section (normal-sized creatures), I see:
Alligator, Lion, One-humpted Camel, Gerbil (?), Foul Blendec, Crundle,
Fire Imp (?), Sasquatch, maybe a Draltha or a Manticore but the latter don’t exist and it doesn’t have a stinger so Draltha, Giant Tick (?), Gorlak, Green Devourer.

The very last ”giant” creatures confuse me as well. After the GSC we have a Giant Cave Toad? Or maybe just a normal Giant Toad, as Cave Toads are grey. Then, a hornless unicorn? And a very very large duck of a species I feel like I recognize but can’t quite determine. That one is the most confusing to me.

[Mike Mayday]

-That's a Chinchilla, not a gerbil
-fire imp, sasquatch, Drunian
-GSC, giant toad, Draltha, giant cave swallow

You can see my first attempt at a draltha here. I decided it needs to be a bit more graceful, even if now it looks smaller.

That's really good. Like, really. I hope this will go to the end and i will eventually play DF with these
