I'm pretty sure the story that inspired this game doesn't include most of us new NTWFers, so we'll be expecting more of the veterans! I'd like to beta-test once the game's out

Wow, looks awesome. And the graphics are so pretty. I'd be thrilled to beta test this. ^_^

Oooh, interesting concept. I'm sooo gonna test this out when alpha/beta comes available. BTW, I just thinking about one of the plotpoint, maybe having a certain group of villians who somehow knew of Ikkin's bit of memories... maybe familiar villianous faces we might recognize by reading these. Oh yeah, and maybe add in Fluffies, maybe in the later harder stages... What's Ikkin's story like without these little poisonous fire-breathing lizards? Especially when you can cook up a plot as of how some of them remain in this dimension. I actually am considering that. If I do draw that monster for the game, i'll need to give it an official name, since Fluffy is only the name of Rider's baby lizard-monster. xD Anyway, more screenshots coming soon. =3 I'm also in the process of drawing some more NTWFers in the style of the game. Even if I don't use them, I could post their sprite sheets in case anyone wants to use them for sprite comics and what-not. ^_~

You know, kinda like a Toad named Toad and a Yoshi named Yoshi. It's logic I'm telling ya!

XD I wasn't even thinking of it as existing as a specific species, just something that the Underdeep could cook up in its less creative phase. ...Though it could be Fluffy if people wanted it to be.

Well, the majority of the monsters in the game have pretty basic names, so I could think of something simple. Anyway, more screenshots! Bombs are handy to have. Not only do they allow you to kill monsters that are a lot tougher than you, but they can also blast holes in some areas, leading to secret caves with lots of treasure and goodies. =3 There will be a lot of secret areas in the game. Some contain cool items, while others are really good hunting grounds for gaining experience. They can be found in a variety of ways, such as slashing bushes, killing every monster in a single area, pounding the ground with your sword, and more. Ebil plantsies of doom. :3 Some monsters from Jade Phoenix will make a comeback in this game (although they may be recolored to add variety, like these carnivorous plants). Likewise, some monsters from IA will also make their way into JP. I like recycling. ^_^

[glow=red,2,300]There are monsters like my baby Fluffy?
Dude, I am so there. ^_^
Fluffy should be an NPC. XD The world's cutest![/glow]

*cue Zelda 'you found a secret!' fanfare* At any rate, looks awesome.

XD The world's cutest![/glow] That would be interesting, to say the least. x3 Say, i'm having a bit of animation trouble. ^^; I'm trying to draw an animation for Ikkin's spin attack in which she swings her sword in a complete circle (like Link does in most Zelda games). Does anyone know where I can find a tutorial on how to do this, or an animation I can use for reference?

Oh, and I found the sprite sheet here, if anyone's wondering.

Ooh, BTW, I made a tune that you can maybe do something with, assuming you're putting music in this game. It's a song I made for the GW movie, for when Ikkin is being emo or whatever, but I think it could be used in other stuff, too. www.freewebs.com/thelegendaryfemale/NTWF/Ikkin.mp3If it doesn't work (and it probably won't ), copy-paste the URL into the navigation bar. Oh, and sorry if it's a bit loud. Also, feel free to remix it until it sounds good for the game.

@leo - Excellent! What i'm having the most trouble with is the position of Ikkin's body parts as she spins around, so this sprite sheet will be a helpful guide. Thanks. ^^ @pfa - Ooh, nice! =D That tune inspired me into making a remix: www.freewebs.com/cyberfreak/Ikkin_Remix.mp3The remixed version of your melody begins at around 1:08 when the trumpets start playing. Keep in mind that this is a work-in-progress, so i'll definitely fine-tune the edgy parts and make it longer. ^_^

*listens to both original and remix of the song* Nice! Now two forumer-made NTWF based media things will have a connection by music. Cool! I think it would be even cooler if we started doing more of those.
