WIP Making an NPC Mod

Coolio, I think we can get down with that -- it will be easier if we minimize the amount of tilesheets usedby incorporating them together.

 

Yeah, and I can def help with organizing tile sheets. I've worked out just how the 16x16 grid works with tIDE now. I managed to align it with the grid that photoshop can make for you too so no more just guessing if I'm putting things in the right spot for me. d:

 

Lol right my thoughts are the same at the bathhouse unlock the cool npcs that have been blocked off from everyone in town due to the boulder.

 

Yeah, the bathhouse is a SUPER useful thing to have (which I negated by putting a bath in my house, but nevermind that) but it's so cold and abandoned. I feel creepy getting naked in the place and soaking in the water that is obviously not getting maintained by anybody.

 

lol ghostes can keep company train station area pretty creepy too.

 

Such an ambitious project! Really looking forward to it! And that pink-haired bachelor is gorgeous, I'm afraid I'd have to ditch my current husband if you ever get around to finishing him. (-:

 

Did you marry Elliot? If so I have some good news for you.

They can keep you company!

 

Pink haired bachelor now has a character sprite. That's supposed to be a trenchcoat, but I need to work on it a little more.

He also needs a name. So far my idea for him is that he blows into town on certain days much like the traveling merchant does. He'll then stand around with his mixed bag of items, all of which would be custom items that aren't baking themed. Like more hats or special weapons.

 

numnum bubble gum hair heuheuh he is handsome

 

Aw, thanks. I'm actually thinking about trading places with the two characters. Having Rose be the traveling salesman and pink haired bachelor being the in game baker. Hmmm.

 

If she isnt always at the town she could be with her mom if she was traveling ?

 

He looks like a 'Joel'. Dunno why, though.

So, no

Chef hats

? My complete lack of spriting skills The game REALLY needs one instead of that silly Archer's cap.

 

I like Joel. Or Raphael.
He's very handsome!

 

I decided to make the switch with pink haired bachelor being the one that runs the shop and Rose being the one who's the traveling merchant. Because of that I redesigned the inside of the Sweet Shop. I'm going to hold off on redoing the exterior of the building until I know for sure if it'll be a stand alone thing or going into the NPC shop mod that Tainted told me about. d:


Some of the things on the map are animated, but you can't see that with the stills. The fan for one, and the kitty is sleeping.

This is his cat which I'll either be naming Trixie or Taiyaki. Depending on how Japanese (or weebish) pink haired bachelor turns out to be. Funny how I can think of two names for the cat and none for pink haired bachelor. I have been referring to him as "potionsella" in file names though.

So right now potential names for him are Joel and Raphael. I'm also toying with the idea of making him Japanese so feel free to pitch me some Japanese names.

 

omgh omgh he is a cat person must have him xD saw the kitty picture was like cute then eyeballs saw the cat


HIDEO Japanese name meaning "splendid man."
MASAHIKO Japanese name meaning "just prince."
TAKUMI Japanese name meaning 1) "adroit," 2) "artisan," or 3) "skilful."
HOSHI is a Japanese name meaning star.
MIZUKI The name's meaning is 'beautiful moon'.

 

Ha ha, yeah, he has a big ol' photo of his cat on the beach. I'd love to edit the cat more, maybe give it a pink ribbon or bow. Make it look fluffier, but alas, my skills don't quite extend that far and it'd look a bit janky.

 

Antoine sounds like a name for a dude with pink hair

 

Digging that shop layout.

Why not just call him "Bishi"?

 

Pffff. Bish Ounen. Ha!

I'm liking Antoine the more I hear it. Antoine Sakura perhaps? Sakura can be a last name in Japan and he could be Ferngill Republic Japanese (or whatever Japan is in the game's context since CA is using fictional countries).

Of course, him having a last name seems unnecessary? I don't think anyone in the game has a last name. Even Harvey is Dr. Harvey.

Also AAAAAAHHHH I just learned that the forest is called Cindersap Forest! That's just the best!

 

Aaaaw yeeeah Antoine now has a full sprite sheet.

​

There he is, handsome guy. He's on a psd so the apron there is on a layer. When I'm sorting the sprite sheet for use in the mod I'll probably have two different walk cycles so he can wander around town without the apron on.
