Allusion 398 Posted December 31, 2014 @Tsar: Oh my gooooosh, that foryer is so pretty! Waaaah-haaaa I love it! \QAQ/ *tears of happiness* @Spec: OoO! Villains? In Sweet land? Never! Lol, they look awesome though! I love how Basil just casually has a few sprinkles thrown on his shoulders. And he still makes it look cool. =w= Anise is adorable, too~ She looks so huggable! But then...that's probably part of her trap, isn't it? @-@ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 829 Posted December 31, 2014 Anise miiight hug you to death. XD Aww, thanks though, hun~! Tsar boo and I are still working on the lil' nuances in the project that make up the storyline, and since we've got quite a bit fleshed out with the main characters, I thought we'd branch out to the villains instead. Well, sorta villains anyway. More like anti-heroes. I really like how Anise turned out in particular, though. Has a regal look combined with epic cuteness. I wanna squish her cheeks. Her.. um, face cheeks. Not ass cheeks. That'd be weird. She's a kid. Basil, on the other hand, just reeks of swag. Anyways, keep checking back. Next up, Sherry and Almond! (oh, and these are the previews. In-game busts will be modified quite a bit) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted December 31, 2014 Kekekeke ^-^ I'm so happy with this project. I just keep squealing for no particular reason. XD Thought I'd drop this here like a ninja.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted January 1, 2015 I'm itching to do some mapping. Like, seriously. XD But my break is wrapping up....(NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO) and that means it's time to buckle down and get some homework done before I return to school. XD If I'm lucky, I'll get some stuff up (and maybe some pretty headers for this topic--I mean, sheesh, self. You're slacking.), possibly a pretty new map for you guys....? Would you like that? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your project seems to be going along way more nicely. (although I have to say it's pretty damn pink). Really happy to help Tsar out on this; I'm really quite interested in seeing the direction of the project. Guilty as charged for introducing a few darker elements into candyland, though.

raymi100 291 Posted January 2, 2015 Heya y'all~ Spec here, Tsar's partner in crime. Little update: Not much is happening. Rest assured though, the both of us should be freed up by the New Year's. And in the spirit of festivities, here's my gift to everyone: some previews for the busts used for two of the 'antagonists': Basil and Anise: Kekekeke ^-^ I'm so happy with this project.

When you said darker elements, for some reason, i instantly thought about the purple... ___ you mentioned in the "What weapon would you be?" thread. : p Lawl Sherry looks really pretty! You did a great job with her face. Her eyes are very nice and pretty cute-looking. ^__^ ..Actually, i like all her facial features in general, lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Knighterius 502 Posted January 3, 2015 o:....Oh wow...that place is amazing!! This game is going to be flipping radical!! o: I feel it's going to be an art trip the whole way through~ hehe I am in love with this game o.o like I can't quite put my finger on it but I think I just love how alternative and strange it feels...o.o ugh Dx I wanna play it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre 829 Posted January 3, 2015 Needs a bit more salt, boo. But I like the steampunky bits all over the place XD I kind of imagined Salato as a literal desert city, but this... actually works pretty well, too. Anyways if you've got something in mind for the city drop me a PM; I'll try to do a more detailed storyline for eventing's sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I caught you, words! Take that!* Knighty you're so supportive all the time! I'm so glad that I have your approval and your support means so much to me <3 I put in a lot of effort into making my maps pretty so I'm glad that you like them!~ Unfortunately...it will probably be a long time until a demo comes out....XD Those screenies just make me even more excited for this game!!! They're wonderful, Tsar~ :3 Thankyous!!~ >///< (so much blushing today!) Been trying to get them all nice and bug-free...which I doubt....but hey I'm working :3 Thanks so much for your support <3 Needs a bit more salt, boo. But I like the steampunky bits all over the place XD I kind of imagined Salato as a literal desert city, but this... actually works pretty well, too. Anyways if you've got something in mind for the city drop me a PM; I'll try to do a more detailed storyline for eventing's sake. Hehehe. I made it like that because it's the Salato Turnpike--transition from the Dolce Sector to the Salato Sector! So it's not quite salty and not quite sweet ^-^ I guess that must make it a really bland place to be! XD Okie. I'll keep this all in mind and see if I have any ideas for the cities. ^^ --- Also, updated/revamped the OP with some nice new headers like these~ (Support Sugar Sweet! Whoop whoop!) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ LadyMinerva 998 Posted January 3, 2015 @Tsarmina My eyes hurt.... from pure awesomeness!! xD Seriously that mapping is exquisite. You should consider yourself as a mapping queen too! lol :3 I guess we both inspire each other huh...? Well now I know where I got my inspiration from haha. Keep it up and I look forward to the demo! Take your time like mine. Candy polish everything for the good of your players and whatnot. Projects are like cream. Good ones rise to the top! @Spectre Flattery eh? Then you have seen nothing yet. :3 But anyway. you can't have something sweet without the bitterness, that is how many RPGs progress~ I too like to see where this project will head. Not all projects come out of the blue like this, so that's a little step on the totem pole to you sir! xD Well what can I say, the purple theme I'm going is from Tsarmina to be honest... I have a design screenie that shows what happens when you inspire someone~ ^-^ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted January 3, 2015 Hehe. All those puns in your post XD Wow! I really appreciate it (and I'm sure Spec does too, right, Spec?) and that's true. I feel like we really do inspire each other XD You especially inspired me with your menu interfaces and such. I really wanna have such pretty things in my game >w< Well what can I say, the purple theme I'm going is from Tsarmina to be honest... I have a design screenie that shows what happens when you inspire someone~ ^-^ W-what? Really? *blush* What did I do? o.o 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsarmina 2,612 Posted January 5, 2015 Puns *faints* Was browsing random manga pictures today and found two that I just couldn't resist using for references XD They were really pretty...soooo....NPC sketching. owo Minthe. Or Rosemary? I've been trying to stick with foodie-related names hehe~ Seems kinda like a cleric-y kind of NPC. I thought maybe she could be like the Nurse Joy of the Sugar Realm. O_o (Imagine that) Lady Finnghers. Play on words o_~ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raymi100 291 Posted January 5, 2015 Omg~ I love both of your art so much >w< it fills me with joy~ I can't wait for this game I'm so excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ LadyMinerva 998 Posted January 5, 2015 Indeed, your artwork is really exquisite for both of you~ Minthe is nice since there are mint sweeties if you're going for uhhh... Sweet theme I suppose? lol Well what can I say, the purple theme I'm going is from Tsarmina to be honest... I have a design screenie that shows what happens when you inspire someone~ ^-^ W-what? Really? *blush* What did I do? o.o Just you wait, once I release my demo, you'll see what you did heh heh... @Spectre Ooh, is that something for the battle system that Tsarmina was hinting about? If not, oh well but looking great so far~ :3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 829 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) @Lady Min ♡: Absolutely. Meet the Sprites 2.0; my hand-drawn "sprites" that feature fluid animations and lots of craziness. I'll be debuting the 2.0s in Sugar Sweet, so keep your candy eyes peeled for some eye candy. :3 @Tsar ♡: Aww boo. I know you love puns. Minthe looks really pretty though (yes, Minthe please!), and I love how the face and body proportions look way more balanced. You're getting a lot better at this, hehe~ Anyway, teaser #2: Yes, Dingbats will also be part of the game. Edited January 5, 2015 by Spectre 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted January 5, 2015 I'm not sure if that picture should make me excited for this "tour" or...uhhh...fearful. Let's just say dingbats make everything better Awwww they so cayuuuuute~ uwaaa. Some sprite and tilework I did for Lady Finnghers yesterday. Our of curiosity, has anyone used ladyfingers in tiramisu or something? I've never tried them before. o.o 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsarmina 2,612 Posted January 6, 2015 Back to drop a couple more screenies of a new map I did today. It has a lot of bugs... But I'll set about fixing it. Sometime. Features both Lady Finnghers and my new grape trellis tile, which I showcased in the Lab today ^-^ Also featuring some...err...unusual colorings for the trees. (Lady Finnghers likes her stuff exotic I suppose~) And yes, this place is....half interior! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
