Oh really?

[kyn]

You're *so* busted moi

[shig]

Yeah, you're probably right about that, reverted it back to white/grey

Still looking weird to me.
His clothes aren't supposed to be shiny like that.

[moi]

Oh really?

That was supposed to be a secret 

[William Broom]

I agree.

Also, does anyone have a good picture of the face mask? I can't for the life of me remember how it's supposed to look.

[Zaratustra]

Like a spandex sock pulled over someone's face.

[Gainsworthy]

I think it only covers his face - leaves hair and etc out. He removes it right at the start of 5 Days, right?

Though, really, just ask Yahtzee. He seems happy to help. Maybe he'll give a few other pointers on locations, moves or Cabbadath whilst he's at it.

Oh: And the mask is black. No big deal, though. Just saying.

More importantly: Rory, noticed you haven't played Art of Theft. Rectify that. It's quite good.

[William Broom]

For some reason I was sure the mask was white, but I checked, and you're right, Gainsworthy. Now I realise that, I feel like he might be better without the mask. When he wears it in 5DaS he looks like some kind of villain out of a Japanese horror movie. I think having a face would convey much more of his character, especially to people who don't know his original games.

And yeah, Rory, give Art of Theft a go. You don't need to get very far to see all the moves, except Flit which you have to buy.

Man, first time I saw him, I freaked out just a little. Instinctive response, I suppose. Wonder if that was intentional on Yahtzee's part?

except Flit which you have to buy.

It's useful, though. Also, by buy, he means in-game. Not with real hard earned money.

Umm... this may be extra work, but why not have the mask choosable. I think the mask is badass.

[Soulliard]

Because, like you said, it's extra work. If, after we've completed a few milestones, we decide to give each character multiple costumes, we can add something like that.

[shig]

I had this idea after thinking about what is the difference between Trilby's flit and Nikujin's after slash:

Flit should be really fast, have a pretty long range do minimal damage and no knockback. If he misses, he would be left wide open due to a huge end lag. If he hits, though, he would be able to cancel the end lag with any other attack (except another flit). Meaning that he would be able to flit PAST the opponent, and then hit him from behind while they are still stunned from the last hit.

[Oracle]

Chutup, could you get me in touch with Yathzee?
Seeing as he is the only "outside" dev, that has shown a fair ammount of interest, i think its only fair that we show the same ammount of care.
Ill take it upon myself to properly adapt Trilby, both trying to please the original creator, and the good peeps of Tigersource  (on a reasonable level tho).

So...ill work on Trilby on whatever time i get free, i doubt it should take too long with dedicated time.

Hence, id like to talk to him, get a few pointers, maybe he can wip out a more "detailed" concept art to work with, etc.

[William Broom]

His email is [email protected]. He's already seen your sprite, so it should be cool if you just introduce yourself and tell him you're working on Indie Brawl. Is that OK?

[Gainsworthy]

Good initiative Oracle! Working with the developer, rather than apart. Rather Genteel of you. 

On Flit: seems to me as though Flit should be defensive, whereas Ninkujin's Slash offensive. In game, Flit was all about getting out of a fix damned quickly - Trilby should play far more defensively than the other characters, using speed and deception to get the upper hand. Ninkujin, on the other hand, is all about hounding his opponent, keeping a combo running. I think Flit hitting should be an added bonus, not a necessity - the real point of it should be evading an attack or getting behind a foe.

Whaddya all say?
