Our graphic artist (www.twitter.com/UncleBladey) recently completed the Zombie enemy art (as well as several variations for later, stronger versions). The Zombie will be encountered as part of the first major quest of Last Dream II after the party forms. The cut-up and animation for the Zombie still remains to be done, but that will be done down the road once we’ve completed all the work on the prologues.

At this point, we nearly have all of the ...

The Black Hawk is an enemy that you’ll encounter during the Hunter’s Prologue. This particular enemy is found in the Northern Dryades Forest which is the second and final dungeon of the Hunter’s Prologue. The other enemies you’ll encounter are the Wild Boar and Dragonfly which we’ll showing in future posts.

In the Northern Dryades Forest, the Hunter (Atalanta) will be joined but another party member, but we don’t want to ruin the surprise!

In the second dungeon of the Hunter’s prologue – the Northern Dryades Forest – you’ll encounter three new enemies including the Dragonfly (shown above). We haven’t performed the decomposition of the individual elements of the Dragonfly in order to animate it, but will be working our way through that task soon.

Currently, we’re gaining a bit of inspiration from playing some older RPGs. We recently selected the RPG for our next tournament “speed running” event – Tales of Phantasia on Playstation. ...

In most of our previous posts related to Enemy Battlers, we’ve only shown the final product. In this post, I wanted to show the initial draft created by our talented graphic artist. In this case, we’re creating a new “Gremlin” enemy and the new and old show the 2nd and 1st drafts, respectively with a small right turn of the enemy.

Each enemy in Last Dream II goes through this draft process and is then carefully painted ...

Another member of our team has been hard at work over the last few weeks to create unique pixel art for all of the various equipment throughout Last Dream II. A small subset of that equipment, specifically a few selected swords, is shown in the image. The swords include the Cursed Sword, Demonic Sword, and Dragon Sword (from left to right).

This art will be used to show the weapon and shield currently equipped by the player. You may have noticed ...

Another item on the to-do list for the Hunter’s prologue is creating the Hunter’s battle sprite. This includes the idle animation that plays while the Hunter is waiting to act. The completed Hunter’s idle animation is shown above. We still have to create special animations for the Hunter’s skills as well as a completely new animation for her attack with a bow since the normal “swinging” animation used by other characters who use a sword/axe won’t work.

We’re moving closer to ...

This is video post this time so that we can adequately capture the Hornet idle animation – another enemy from the Hunter Prologue’s first dungeon – the Southern Dryades Forest. The hornet is composed of 25 separate individual pieces that can rotate around relative to the body or the joint that they connect to. There are 4 wings, 6 legs (each composed of 3 segments), as well as the head, body, and stinger.

One of the promises of the Last Dream ...

This post is a bit different than others. My wife has crocheted small figurines/dolls  (~4 inches tall) of each Last Dream II character class and I wanted to take this opportunity to show them off. The above screenshot shows the White Mage (Elizabeth), the Berserker (Lief), the Summoner (Freya), and the Engineer (Copernicus). At this point, all character classes except the Knight (Tiberius) have been completed.

Currently, these are very limited edition (only one doll exists per character class) but we’ve ...
