Stick People!!!

Post by Zigg »

The main thing that stops people making Factions is Art. But not for these Guys. Another is Balance. BORING!!!. Code. I found a Base, Woohoo. Then making it a Faction. Take and mess around with some examples in AE. Ideas. I've got them ready so... I shall unleash the STICK PEOPLE!!!

Factions

The Humans
Medium Height, Medium Thickness, like Guns.

Newbie Swordman--Scarred Blademan--Veteran Frontliner (High HP and Decent MP. Melee 9-4 Sword, Ranged 5-2 Rifle for L1)

Decent Fighter--Fierce Warrior--Great Hero (Medium-High HP and MP. Melee 4-4 Sword, Ranged 1-16 Machine Gun for L1)

Young Mage--Serious Spellweaver--Wise Archmage (Low HP and Decent MP. Melee 10-1 Staff, Ranged 5-4 Magic Magical for L1)

Crazy Gunner--Lunatic Gunner (Low-Medium HP and Decent MP. Melee 11-1 Sword, Ranged 1-21 Assault Rifle, Ranged 7-3 Assault Rifle for L1)

Poor Rider--Demanding Outrider (Low HP and High MP. Melee 5-2 Melee Spear, 5-2 Ranged Pistol for L1)


The Dwarves
Short Height, High Thickness, Like Bazookas.

Exited Launcher--Obsessed Rocketeer--Connected Blower (Medium HP and Low MP. Melee 7-2 Axe, Ranged 21-1 Bazooka for L1)
Tank

Your statement that a faction could be successfully made with poor art and poor balance.

Stick Figures are used in loads of Games. Balance. BORING! Was a joke.

I think it would be very funny to have a stick figure faction. Look forward to seeing your art!

Fair enough. I am just curious to see the artwork for this.

I just hope it won't be too dark, knowing that internet stickmen are usually black. But maybe that can be a minor fixable trouble (you can always put somekind of team-colored halo around the sticks).
Anyway, if the work goes ahead you can talk about this in the Art Development section. Here we discuss factions ;)

The funny thing about saying a stickmen faction would be good without any skill level in art is that even stick people have a quota on the amount artistic skill you need.

Everyones stick people are different, some are better than others.

Agreed. I've seen some nice "stick people" flash videos out there on the Internet that simply couldn't be done by bad artists.

I've done some days ago a trial stick unit while fooling around with Inkscape.
The result ain't too bad, though... What do you think?
Here's the converted rendered png file.

Thanks! If the project goes ahead, maybe I'll do another ones (once I'll finish my campaign XD).

I like it. It has a nice style to it. Maybe make the "body" (not the arms/legs though) a little bit thicker.
