Wose Faction

Leaves don't fall that fast. They're gonna need more frames to waver around. Also...it needs a proper shadow.

[Luroch_Delkar]

I was thinking the fallen leaves would cover the shadow of the still falling ones, but I guess I will darken the lower leaves.
How many more frames do you think it should take the leaves to fall?

[Phyreprooph]

maybe double at the least. the more the better. Leaves generally take a while to hit the ground due to air resistance and what not.

This is an attack animation for the shrub wose. It's supposed to be a headbutt and it seems to look okay for all directions of attack. Next port of call...Tall Cactose, and then time to start animating the tangle and strangler.

there is a lot of info in this thread scattered all over it so another update plz? I cant understand all of this scattered info

[Phyreprooph]

Sure...I'll get round to it as soon as possible. I'll post a new...post as an update stating everything we have done and where we're at. I'll also update the first post with the unit tree.

I saw at the start the idea for the water wose. Since i didn t read the whole thing im not sure if there were previous ideas on the topic. I would think they woul be either sort of a type of mangrove tree or sorta moldy and rotting with seaweed around it as if it was a normal tree the fell in the ocean. Also a cyprus would be good.

[Phyreprooph]

For now I think we'll stick with the kelp idea. The problem with the is that you could just throw any of your woses into the water and call it a water wose. If that makes sense. We need a wose that looks distinctly different to the others, on land and sea.

[wopsie123]

I was inspired to make a water wose so i threw a basic lv1 or so together. Add a few leaves and it should be good. Hope it helps.

[Phyreprooph]

Could it be smaller? Little bit big for a level 1. Also try to make it get gradually pointier as they get longer.

I've got some cactose images! Like em? (Probably not)

This is one I accidentally created.

EDIT: How about a boxing cactose?

Boxing gloves not included.

Hey - good job!
I could probably use all of the types except the cactose line due to the lack of desert terrain in my campaign TEG. I could maybe also do some animation coding if I have images for it.

[wopsie123]

I shrunk it and added a shadow. For the team color part i was thinking it could be a colorful fish swimming around it in the water and weakly flopping when on land.

Or sorta like this?

The 'crystal' is an eye. Also on land the kelp could dry out and shrivel.
