Lien Neville - Prelude to Final Version

Nio, Thedge and myself will use this thread as a developer's blog kind of thing, since Spriter's Academy is down  often (I'm looking at you server, you're busting my balls). Latest public beta isn't up for download anywhere, but please don't request it here. Comments are welcome as long as they're not disruptive for the thread.

Here's some of the latest stuff, by me.


Edit: Thedge, look at what I found in my flash drive =P
<- none of these portraits is final

[Great Leader Kevin Rudd]

May I ask who the base was for the spriting?

[Nero D.]

I see some Leona and some Betty.

[walt]

Leona, Shermie, Elisabeth, Mai, from scratch in MANY cases ... Amount of detail into every sprite is UGH but worth it:
- bicep yellow band
- forearm yellow band
- legs have 6 straps total + buckles
- no existing 2D base for feet.

[Jesuszilla]

About damn time this set is getting fixed up.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

well contributing to the thread...

most recent stuff


added her belly line on the suit, also a lot of animations changed, mostly her basic attacks...

laser animation finished...
I think we are getting closer to the final version (we need to finish 6 animations)
and after that, we will be just touching up details and adding extra sprites to have more fluid animations

this are moves that need to be finish (a few of their sprites are already finished now)

Leona, Shermie, Elisabeth, Mai, Jenet, Yuri, Ai, Sonia (mk) & from scratch in MANY cases ...

fixed

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

of course any help is good!!
specially from you since I think you are very talented...

so, yeah for the portrait...

we have the image, but it's really diferent to our design
(we will need to change +600 sprites to make it look that way)

there's differences about MI and MI2 outfits...

I would like to see fixes on the char made by you, specially those animations that would look badass with 1 or 2 sprites added...

send me a PM if you need the sprites or the char to work...
(just chamat, since we already know him and trust him)

[walt]

Querido Chamat.

1. En Guild se habla ingles solamente, por favor trata de poner por lo menos un corto resumen de lo que dijiste en ingles, para que el 99.97% de la poblacion entienda. ENGLISH PLEASE

2. I'll tackle the Stance soon, but I'll ask for your help once we have a stable base to work from. So far the original sprite lacks detail, your sprite has EXTRA detail, and somehow the proportions are off (head is too big)

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

well, I will send the .sff file to him, or the char if needed (but iirc chamat doesn't use mugen)...

mostly, he could help use with the "shermie" roll, and adding extra sprites to the animations... the intention is (and always have been) to kick ass with this char, and if Chamat team up, we could reach that goal...

[mAdLaX]

I wonder if how many Lien Neville's exist in mugen now... But it's good to have another version of her to play... Nice sprites... GOOD LUCK on your work...

[Nero D.]

This is the same version, made by the same people. If there's another Lien, not made by these three people, let me know cause I'm not hip then.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

I wonder if how many Lien Neville's exist in mugen now... But it's good to have another version of her to play... Nice sprites... GOOD LUCK on your work...

so far just 2...

Lien Neville by Gran Enigma (mmhhh not kof sprites, not kof gameplay)

Lien Neville by MI team (riccochet, thedge, nio & walt)
plus some colaborators as anhell, kalumon, chamat...

btw Lien will have an exclusive stage made by Cosumo!!
here's a preview

[Nero D.]

Ahhh. I don't know if I remember, if ever heard, of that other version of Lien. That stage looks pretty tight. Tell me it's gonna be animated.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

yeah, I believe, we are planning to put some kameos there (like Hyena from KOFMI)

[Jesuszilla]

Those walk anims look physically impossible.

[NiO ErZeBeTh]

Those walk anims look physically impossible.

going to be fixed by Walt
it's suppose that she is breathing and you can obviously see that
but I'm curious oto see the fixes of walt

[Thedge]

We are about to fix everything, most of those anims were done two or more years ago when we knew less about spriting than we know now.
I'm going back to some plain sprites to reshade them entirely, since its harder to fix some, than making them all over again.

I'll be working on the google intro today, I may upload something later.

[walt]

Those walk anims look physically impossible.

hoho dunno if the word is impossible, since it was retraced over MK Sonya, you know, a real person.

[walt]

It's not being redone from scratch, you know, it's an overhaul. Color sepparation, remaking the ugly, completing the unfinished.

Like Thedge said, years have passed since the WIP was started, and there have been many side-projects from everyone involved, plus many people (sup, myself included) have shown much interest in having this character finished. So, we'll seize this momentum to create a positive work environment, and see it through until it's completely finished.

[Shaggy]

Awesome to see this character is still alive.  I was just playing around w/ the beta you guys released over a year ago.  Good luck fellas
