Special thanks to Dragonith for the amazing Sprites. Voltoids - Voltoids are mysterious beings made out of electricity. They speak a language of weird cracks and scratches. No one knows where Voltoids come from, or how they were made. They can go through objects that can handle electrical currents. This is their main way of transportation. Male and female Voltoids. History - Voltoids started off without any technology. They used simple hunting tactics and weapons. A lot of times spears that were electrically charged. Those who were powerful enough would just zap enemies with a powerful electrical charge. Very later on what is believed to be the Apex gave them technology. They were taught how to use and make it. Now, they use many electrical based weapons, and special guns. Though there spaceships may not look that amazing, they can fire high voltage electrical bolts at any attackers. Relationships - Also working on this. Lifestyle - Voltoids use metals because they would fry up anything else. They use wires as quick transportation. Voltoids usually live in large-ish cities that have buildings usually 2-3 stories high. Again, they would use wires to travel from floor to floor. Voltoids love electrical based things. If a weapon requires electricity to be used, they would use it. If a weapon doesn't require electricity, but it shoots it out, they use it. They love electricity. Biology- A new Voltoid is made when 2 Voltoids reach a voltage so high, the excess voltage forms a new being. New Voltoids are generally very small. Over the years, their voltage increases and they grow. When they are an adult, their voltage wont increase anymore. As they become very old, their voltage decreases. Before they lose all of their voltage, a family member will take the remaining voltage and put it into a 'battery'. These batteries are essentially the Voltoid's graves. Melee Weapons - Static - Tier 1 Sword. Same damage as all tier 1 swords. Zapper- Tier 2 Sword. Same damage as all tier 2 swords. Shocker - Tier 3 Sword. Same damage.... You see what I'm getting at here. Storm - Tier 4 Sword. Thunder - Tier 5 Sword. Lightning - Tier 6 Sword Thunder Storm - Tier 7 Sword. Static XL - Tier 8 Sword. Zapper XL - Tier 9 Sword. Zeus - Tier 10 Sword. Ranged Weapons - Modified Lightning Coil - A modified lightning coil given to the Voltoids by the Apex. Slower firing speed. More damage. Something - A pistol that shoots electrical bullets. Fast firing speed. Low damage. Lightning Launcher - A rocket launcher that shoots out rockets. But not just any rockets, these ones don't blow up land but instead create a large ball of electricity where they hit. This ball stays there for 5 seconds and damages anything in it. Armor- Yeah, sorry if you think this looks crappy, I'm not the best with sprites. Food - Electric Eggplant - Its like an eggplant, but electrified! Have any suggestions? Feel free to tell me them!
Someday, I hope they'll have unique items named after deities of lightning like Zeus, Susanoo, Hadad, Brontes, and even Mamaragan
Susanoo weapon may involve a certain Hylotl who'll teach them about their ideologies, and later they'll have to buy a weapon from them to reverse engineer or such.
I think that you should go over the body sprites with some little edits, maybe add some definitive neck-lines with a bit darker yellow as it looks a bit like an undefined blob of yellow (no offense meant). I guess that I can try, but I truly suck at anything artsy.
I would never be able to do that lol. I suck at making sprites unless its a gun, and I suck at shading.
This is a really cool idea! I like the concept and the sprites are good (the armor could use some work through). The only problem I have with this is the "traveling through electricity" thingy, more specifically how it would work in game. I'm actually interested in seeing you make the sprites for the guns you described if possible
Well, it might take me a while. It took me like an hour to make a gun for the Weekly Pixel-off. At least I will probably be able to just edit some already existing sprites, that might make it easier. Also anyone have any better ideas for armor, because the ones I have right now look horrible.
Well I have a lot of free time so I might try creating a basic sprite for how I imagined the armor to be like (I'm not too good with describing it with words)
