Jesus....


you are a true talent


God Bless You.

Ha thanks, trying to stay modest here, but can't say I don't like all the high praise!  

Here's the current batch last posted to the sprite critique thread.  There are some areas to touch up, but it's a good WIP.



It takes a lot of time for me to hit this level of detail and quality.  3+ hours for the Vixen.  There tends to be a lot of exploration in paint where I'm painting areas over and over to feel out what I'm looking for and then shading & highlighting comes in.  Pixel art is cool, but tedious!

[Ishman]

Well, not to polish your ego some more - but those look amazing AND they've got their own distinct style. Love the look.

[Lopunny Zen]

now this is what i was talking about

[Cycerin]

Absolutely amazing work, love the balance between detailing/texture and areas of smoothly shaded surface.

[Vinya]

Love the new sprites.

Any chance you'd want any animations done for decorative/built-in weapons? This has been my favorite mod since I've gotten Starsector and I'd love to help out.

That shade of blue on the Vixen do wonders! Keep it up!

[theSONY]

I'll say, i didn't like the first refreshed ships especially DAKOTA ( to much stuff on it ) but VIXEN looks great & as Helmut wrote, the "Blue" shade is great

[HELMUT]

It's true that the Dakota looks more cluttered than the others. Also darker. But with weapons put on it, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. The sprite is still gorgeous anyway, so to me it can be excused.

Are you working on v0.6.2a compatability?

[Piemanlives]

As it stands the author himself isn't working on it while the game is still in it's current state, however the faction is included in the Uomoz compliation here http://fractalsoftworks.com/forum/index.php?topic=1799.0

[dgibso29]

Liking the retouched ships, Keptin. Keep it up!

[LostInTheWired]

Are you working on v0.6.2a compatability?

Are there any particular breakages?  I know Kazi updated it for 0.6.1.  0.6.2 didn't seem like a huge change.  I'll have to give it a run and see what I can find.

[Vinch]

Well actually i use a IFed version 1.26 i'd modified to work with exelerin back in 0.6.1a and it work without problem in 0.6.2a!

So far, the only compatability issue i had is valkyrian's Heron using the same ID as vanilla Heron, but that was easily fixed

This faction seems to be really terrible for Exerelin.
It expands SO VERY SLOWLY, it takes like a year just to make a boarding fleet - even defense fleets take their sweet time to come out of the orbital station, and this is even when I capture orbital stations near asteroid and gas rich zones. On the other hand, factions which seem to be in desolate and resource-poor areas seem to flourish and spit out massive murder fleets every 5 minutes.
This only happens with IF, from my experience with several Exerelin-compatible factions.
