Having fun doing some dot art based of KOF13 Sprites, Elisabeth's idle sprite strongly fits Sabina so I worked of it... took me about an hour and a half... My first one of Len took me maybe 2-3 hours I figured out a good method in developing them and creating smoother shapes so the process optimized.

when we begin working on more smaller and experimental projects most will be 8-bit but I'm hoping some can reach this kind of detail so I wanted to practice.

Music Monday - War Themes, Appended

Music Monday - War Themes, Appended

We've been listening to a lot of war themes at Revolver Games lately, as evidenced by Dice's extensive look at some of her favourite tracks. It could have something to do with the work we've been doing on our own tactical RPG, Bijoux Red. Whatever the reason, I just had to call some attention to these personal favourites.



Advance Wars: Dual Strike (NDS)
Sasha's Theme
Is this even a war theme? There's a certain 'get-up-and-go' hopefulness that drives this song while still maintaining the charm of Sasha's character. This is the kind of war theme that I love listening to!



Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (NDS)
For Liberty
Another hopeful theme for the troops to rally around. The epic war tunes are great, but I've got a soft spots for the ones that kind of have that 'things are looking up' quality.



Ogre Battle : The March of The Black Queen
Revolt
The theme is called Revolt and, from the sound of things, the revolt is going well. What is that optimistic quality that draws me to these tunes? You really feel successful when you ride out and crush your enemies to a song like this (which helps me plenty, as I'm not all that great at strategy games!).


I'm looking forward to sharing some of our own war themes shortly. The setting may be quite different from these fantasy strategy games, or from the contemporary war setting of the Advance Wars series, but our goal of empowering the player's army with an exciting tune is all the same!

Today is all about the visuals as we look at the new background and UI styles that we're fitting into Bijoux Red! The UI elements in the below screen shots were whipped together in Photoshop, but the backgrounds are all animated and completely included into our current Combat Prototype build.

Channeled through Ander, the power of the Sun is used to deliver an array of condensed solar rays in the form of an attack. The Level 3 Technique 'Solar Spear' can be used to wear down enemy defenses but is best used on unsuspecting foes who leave their guard down.

The harsh environment and the blazing sun aren't the only things to worry about in Freegrove. Along with other dangers, the feral inhabitants of Freegrove will keep Ander on his toes as he makes his way through the barren landscape.

You can click here to see the original post at the Bijoux Red blog.



Feral Dogs are the most common danger in Freegrove.


Although cowardly on their own, their attacks become more brazen in groups.


Scavengers and carrion seekers, Crows gather around the sites of old battles


Crows will viciously defend their prey if necessary

Music of Bijoux Red - Freegrove Theme

Music of Bijoux Red - Freegrove Theme

Over the course of the game, players will explore a large urban landscape that includes scenes such as an abandoned subway system, a congested chinatown street and more. Despite the modern theme however, the player will also be exploring locations such as seaside caves, a thick dark forest and a dry hot field of tall grass and dead trees.

That last description applies to the first area players will explore in Bijoux Red; the vast and merciless expanse of Freegrove.
