those new xeno sprites...

[Pigeon]

From hunter name day. I was amazed when rav got the rework, and the drones and lurker(hunter) when that happen. The cloak to lurker(hunter) was amazing improved. I could stand still while 12 marines walk passed me. Took me a while to get to know from the old old sprite (hunter) to lurker, but in the end i loved all the sprite work. Now This, this topic. Have you seen a lurker cloaked now? As soon light hit it, no matter where it is. OH A LURKER! No from me. I DO LIKE THE NEW DESIGN... somewhat... Defender shell on the back is a no, its like a ninja turtle dna mad research on alamayer have gone totally wrong. Queen is tiny. Rav actually have a beer stomach now. And we have eyes... Why? why on earth do we have green eyes? Isn't this a Alien lore from the movies? Dont alien use senses? Xeno looks like bugs now. The ones who made from the old hunter sprite to the new lurker sprite, Rav sprite, spitter sprite etc. hands down. They look more scarier, deffently the rav. But this... I have no words. my mouth is on the floor and wondering what happend. If CM is going away from the alien movie alike, i will understand. But if not. Huge -1 from me. And how dare you taking the breathing animation from larvas when they rest! *scream

The sprites are incase we need to leave the alien lore yesterday we can do that, it a back up plan.

Some feedback on the sprites

Hivelord, best sprite

They look a tad too similar alot of the sprites

Tier 3s arent large enough for my taste same with queen

Runner line can use a scary factor upgrade, runner itself should be upgraded from shrimp to a runner

Warrior needs better way to tell agility stance

Lurker too visible

When I first saw these I thought they were a joke.

I don't know who made these but please, please, please -- if we have to leave the old sprites behind because of copyright reasons or something, for God's sake pay a professional spriter to make a new set or something. It's not like CM is short on money -- or if it somehow is, people have been chomping at the bit for reopened donations ever since I got here more than two years ago.

Please do not saddle us with these things. They look like placeholders.

Who doesn't like a bunch of walking turd aliens

exactly without aliens lore holding us back we can just remove or add anything that makes the game more fun without someone crying about lore.

Imagine coming to a BYOND based game for muh pvp gameplay

I've seen those MUDs, I doubt most people want to bother investing tons of time to go back to those clunky old things.

Thanks but I think "make your own adventure" books already exist.

Some people say an RP is made out of MUD's
A poor RP's made out of muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

You RP sixteen hours, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Feweh don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

I was awaken one nigh' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my Shotgun and I walked to the mine
I RP sixteen hours of RP high as temperature of burning coal
And the ShakeEZ said "Well, a-bless my soul"

I like the sprites, but I can I see how some wouldn't. I dunno, personally I find them charming. Remind me of Alien Storm kinda or some weirdo xeno-blasting RTYPE shooter. Hell, I'd like to draw them when I can finally get a good moment free of anxiety and horror.

Honestly, I'm damn impressed. Sprite art is hard and free art aint free.

CABAL, do you require medical attention?

Sing a song confessional
For the heart, mind and spirit
For the medical professional
Who isn't here to hear it
Who is not here to hear it
I was at the funeral
Eighth or ninth in the procession
Now it ain't all that unusual
To lose a month or two to depression
In desperate need of some medical attention
In desperate need of some medical attention
In desperate need of some medical attention



Sprites are fine after phase of immediate laugh from their first look silliness.
