Rui's Character Sheet WIP

I started working on Rui's character sheet, since drawing her is usually the easiest. It's taking a lot longer than I expected orz. Art style shifted. I also tried a new coloring technique since I thought it would be faster. It's not.
_{Hence, posting this in case I don't finish for a while.}

Starting this finally

Actually, I had planned to do Pie's first. This was not successful.

So I plan to eventually fill this out for all the characters. Maybe. No.

_{Rui's expression mirrors mine while facing horror movies/spiders/exams.}

Pie's Expressions WIP

Practicing some of Pie's facial expressions.

Bannanna Sprite

Simple sprite of Bannanna

Three consecutive posts 8D; There's nothing quite like midterms to motivate me in art.
I shall be using this in all the awkward convos on msn d(@u@d)

Why did I

make these orz Future stickers maybe.

Anyways, tried a different chibi style. It's rather simple and quick, but I'm undecided about how much I like this style though.

On the bright side, the designs for these four are more or less set. Hopefully.

Pie Character Sheet WIP

I feel my artblock returning, so I'm posting this WIP in case there's a long interval before I actually finish. At first, I drew him with a slight frown, but I think I've done that with all of my pictures of Pie. So I drew him smiling, but then it looked kind of girly. Then, Skits suggested an "evil smile." So yeah.

B> more tablet sketching prowess
I'll go do that 20 expressions meme sometime orz.

2011Oct22 Edit: starting to think this is his normal smiling face now orzorzorz

Pie Preview

So I finally settled on a design I think I'm satisfied with.
_{I do not like armor (╯°□°)╯ ┻━┻}
Of course, I had a lot of help from Aurv and Pie on this, so thanks to the both of you, should either of you read this ;_; Well, hopefully I can finish a formal character sheet before I feel the urge to redesign again XD. Currently, I'm not too sure about the color scheme; maybe brown-red-gold? Alternatively, I could go with the green-brown-tree theme hum. As always, feedback/suggestions are welcome~

New Yoyo Design

Because I am preoccupied with LoL midterms at the moment and haven't updated in awhile, I shall post some oddly angled, low quality photos of Yoyo's new design.

Bannanna~~

Title: Bannanna
Bonus effect: +2 SPD, +5 EVA, +1% CRIT Enable use of Level 1 'Banana Trap'.

Banana Trap (Active)
Max Level: 1
Target: Ground
Effect: Throws a banana peel on the ground. Enemies who steps on the trap takes 50 damage and are immobilized for a brief moment. Consumes 1 Banana. Does not work on monkeys. Chance to inflict special status effect: awkward situation on certain targets when attacking.

Funny what pron leads to.

New PatC pairing!

Hi, I am trolling. Though in PatC, most pairings are viable. Bannanna is now a title for Anna; details to follow.

There's a two person vote for PatC to become R-rated. In contrast, Pie has disaffiliated from project as a result. It's okay though. Since he is the titular character, he will still be included in the prons 8')

Stats Development

Today I will be talking about how stats work in the game, at least what is currently decided on at this stage.

There are four primary stats;
- Strength (STR)
- Intelligence (INT)
- Concentration (CON)
- Speed (SPD)

and there are twelve secondary stats;

- Hit Point (HP)

- Mana Point (MP)

- Physical Attack (P.Atk)

- Physical Defence (P.Def)

- Magical Attack (M.Atk)

- Magical Defence (M.Def)

- Hit Rate (Hit)

- Evasion (Eva)

- Attack Speed (A.Spd)

- Critical Chance (Crit)

- Cast Time (CT)

- Cool Down Time (CDT)

Each of the secondary stats is associated with a primary stat, as follows;

- STR affects HP, P.Atk and P.Def

- INT affects MP, M.Atk and M.Def

- CON affects Hit, Crit and CT

- SPD affects Eva, A.Spd and CDT

All the characters in PatC starts with a certain set of base STR, INT, CON and SPD, and they have a different growth rate in each of these stats as they level up. To further customize the character and provide uniqueness between players, each level will also provide the players 2 additional stat points in which they can insert into any of the four primary stats as they wish. This allows players to experiment different builds or to make unusual builds possible (eg, a mage Zalryas, or a battle-mage Aoyaran).

The contribution of primary stats on the secondary stats will also differ between characters in the game in order to balance between the characters so that no characters will be overpowered or underpowered. At least that is what I am hoping for.

Currently, only the stats for the four main characters have been decided. And even then, they are all in beta phrase as it is quite hard to test how strong the character will be without the items and skills (and monsters as well) all finalized as well. But I think I am quite happy at the current stage of development!

Pron and the Cakes

Sketch of Anna
This was mainly a Sai practice since it's been awhile. Ignore the blatantly disproportionate parts.

Pie (hair down) and Aoy
My friend flashed me with yaoi pron the other day, and this is what resulted ): Oh well, I guess this compensates for when I complained that most of the RO 3rd class females had bikinis. Though Aoy suggested I draw equally undressed girls, too. Thus, hereafter, PatC is now Pron and the Cakes ); On the bright side, at least I managed to apply that anatomy class I took.

Zalryas Schirrer Skills

This post will be my first post here on PatC blog site, so I guess I'll put a brief introduction.

While Rui is in charge of the storyline and artworks, I have been working on the game mechanism for it, mainly the stats and the skills for each character in the game. Later on, I will also be hoping to develop the items (weapons, armors) as well as the monsters in the game.

Anyway, on to the main point of this post;

Zalryas is the main character in this game, being your typical swordsman or in this case, spearman. He is able to dish out good amount of damages while being able to take quite a few hit himself as well. His skills mainly branches off in two directions depending on the player desire on the character and the team selection.

The Halberd path moves toward aggressive play. Dealing huge damage in quick succession while neglecting defence, resolving around high risk-high reward game play and take out enemies before they take you out.

On the other hand, the Lance path focuses in protecting the party members from harm by staying in the front line and tanking all the damage. While this build has less damage than the halberd build, his sustainability is greatly increased with the advantage of being able to use a shield along with the lance.

Zalryas Skill Tree:

Note that since the game is still in very early stage development, so everything is subjected to change.

Setting for PatC

After much procrastination, the PatC blog is finally up! Check back to see the latest news about the game development~

Background setting for PatC:

Long, long ago, Heaven and Hell collided in a spectacular event. What resulted was a bridge between the two worlds, henceforth named [thishereplanet], for its supernatural origins. The residents of Heaven had pure white wings and equally unblemished hearts, while the residents of Hell had wings black as night and equally sinister motives. Initially, the two very different races tolerated each other, some even producing hybrids, known as humans, that lacked wings altogether. However, this strained peace would inevitably shatter. Hungry for power and envious of the euphoria in Heaven, Hell unleashed countless Demons across [thishereplanet] to conquer Heaven. Heaven’s Angels retaliated with admirable perseverance. Eight hundred years of constant dissension has turned [thishereplanet] into a world of chaos. In recent ages (some 200 yr), the war has cooled. Some speculate the Demons have merely given up, while others wait fearfully for what they suspect may be the most massive assault yet.

Suggestions for planet name anyone?
