    I even have a plot. The PC is a kama wielding ninja.

    "Having served as a gardener of the temple for many years, you now have a thorough familiarity with the trimmer. After some evil dinosaur force wiped out everybody in temple when you were shopping, you decided it was time for revenge: thus the dual wielder trimmer ninja was born."

    @Nimran You forgot the Gazebo ninja clan and the half-gazebo race...

    You mean we can dual-class a Ninja/Gazebo? :heart:
  • Balrog99Balrog99 Member Posts: 7,367
    Would that be a Ninjebo or a Gazinja?

    Sure!

    Actually in the ultra secret alpha version we are testing they are called Ganinjas... it may change before final release, of course...

    It must be Ninjabo. Gazinja is a southern US colloquial, as "The fox gazing henhouse and etja chickens!"

    Careful now. You might get sued by either Lego or Nintendo with those name choices.

    That's why it's a working name that may change before release, actually :)

    @redline Don't worry. Any official information will be posted in a new thread and will probably be a sticky post in the first page of the forum.

    Is that an offshoot of the Blood War?

    Soon in stores: Cretaceous' Gate III



    Now with playable dinosaur Bhaalspawns.
    I would unironically enjoy that.

    Just mod saurial as a playable race.

    Special shields were used by crossbowmen solely to provide cover, not unlike strapping a tower shield to your back. Also, castle defenses were engineered heavily to provide good cover for the defender while offering no protection to the attackers.

    I assure you, cover was a thing before firearms!

    Cover "being a thing" and cover being the only way to survive any battle are very different things.

    DOS2 has cover. In that it uses it's three dimensions and ranged attacks have arcs. But it doesn't stick shield icons behind furniture and packing cases (which is what Beamdog game appears to do). Because cowering behind a table is stupid when someone can run up behind you and stick you with a sword.

    Which implies that the enemies you will be fighting in Beamdog's new game will not be using swords, axes, clubs, teeth or claws as their main weapons. Which makes any standard D&D setting, including Ravenloft, seem unlikely.

    I would put Axis&Allies Vs Demons 1943 as much more likely, given the little we have seen.
    sounds to me like you didn't play xcom 2. the cover "icon" looks EXACTLY the same, it is also turn based and square tiled, it has both guns (ranged weapons) and swords, and guess what - cover doesn't work against swords! works only against guns! gasp!

    Sadly, there is no "just" about it. Sprites and paperdolls aren't simple to do (especially the sprites).
  • ButtercheeseButtercheese Member Posts: 3,766
    Well, as far as sprites are concerned, there are kobolds, lizardmen and trichas that could be repurposed.

    You forgot Histachi. And Though Lizard Men.
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    And dragons and wyverns!
  • semiticgoddesssemiticgoddess Member Posts: 14,903
    @Redrake: What is that last one? Is it from PST?
  • lroumenlroumen Member Posts: 2,508
    Fallout perhaps.

    Why is that trident lizard poking the Kobold up the ass?
