Gambler Job Discussion Thread (Update on First Post!)

[Asmo X]

Why not do it now so that if it sucks you don't waste time finishing stank.

reading comprehension goes a long way LD. I thought from my request it was pretty clear I wasn't and couldn't make a quality judgment yet

[LastingDawn]

Hmm... maybe it was just the word "stank" that rubbed me the wrong way, I think if the word was just plain"it", I wouldn't have said anything, but then again I had just woken up... so... yeah...

[Asmo X]

The only thing I can really say about it right now is that the white is a little strong. I have a feeling that some areas might be a bit flat but it's kind of hard to say at the moment. The actual design seems pretty solid. I'm a fan of adapting other sprites and its simple so it avoids that trap of trying to convert intricate details into a few pixels which we're seeing a lot of lately.

The sprite is look pretty great, well done Mike. The white's gonna look strong regardless, since it's borrowing from the eye color and it's quite a bit brighter than everything around it. Though I have a feeling it'll look fine in-game...

[Asmo X]

I'm sure there would be enough room in the palette for a light gray or something.

[Archael]

The sprite is look pretty great

agreed, I really like it

[LastingDawn]

Hah! You needn't edit when you Finish a sprite! Haha! It is a grand celebration that deserves a full new post! Regardless fantastic work! The Gambler Males, now have their own sprite! There's still quite some work to be done, but this is a great start, to getting these new jobs appropriated!

[MiKeMiTchi]

Haha. Should I make a full new thread??
Yes, agreed.. There's a lot of work to be done.

LD, do you know the code to access the 7th and 8th palette in the 'palette' slot in FFTpatcher?

[LastingDawn]

Ah, that's with an ASM hack of Zodiac's which allows that. (Which will require a Hex Editor to place correctly)

[MiKeMiTchi]

^ NVM Sir LD..
I've got it to work. Thanks to sir Zodiac.

[SplashWoman]

I enjoy the magic and enterprise of Indiana Jones Gambler.

He has a twinkle in his eye that hints at a boyish spirit of adventure none of the others posses.

[mav]

Good job. Now all you gotta do is complete the Female Gambler.

...by the way, did I ever post the 16 color version of her portrait?

[MiKeMiTchi]

I don't think so, the one I have has 29 colors.

Yes, the female gambler is easy to make.
I just need to change colors and erase parts.
The arms are finished.

[Asmo X]

Jackets are all looking way better

[MiKeMiTchi]

Kudos to you, Asmo X.

[mav]

I don't think so, the one I have has 29 colors.

My mistake, see attachment for a 16 color version...

[SplashWoman]

LD asked me to cross-post this in the Gambler thread... so that is what I am doing.

Female Gambler.

[winshmo]

[mav]

Very nice, SplashWoman, but what's up with her legs?
