On the other hand, Darberus has a red spear, too (and is probably easier to get your hands on.) Up to you which one you think would look better for your cosplay.

[Serra Britt]

Mmm, no preview for Spirit of the Tribe from what I can find >< I'm not sure which would be easier, it was last months RDI, and Darberus was an event item. I'm not really sure either way.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'd hazard a guess that Darberus would be easier, as it isn't a rune item. I'm sure if you quest for it and keep an eye out in the Merchant Square you'll be able to get one.

I'm still tempted to make a weaponless Etna cosplay. The really funny part is that I might have to use a male base at first to get the flat chest look xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'm sure she'd appreciate the irony.

Also, out of curiosity, which hair would you use for her?

[Serra Britt]

Ugh, I didn't think about that >> I just took a look at the common hair and there's nothing that quite matches, I might have to look into MI's again ><

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I'm not sure there are many rare hairs. Good luck coming up with something.

Maybe drop a request in the item request thread?

[Serra Britt]

Yea that's a good idea, people already want more hair choices so maybe a particular suggestion will help some :3

Random question (game related).

What's your (anyone who cares to answer) tolerance for cutscene length? And is it any higher for multiple cutscenes in a row than it is for one long one?

That's what I'm working on in my RPG at the moment. I had this horrifically long scene where one of the characters relates a ton of backstory with the party just sitting around the table for pages and pages of dialogue.

Now, I'm re-telling it in flashbacks that cut back to the conversation periodically, so there's at least something going on on-screen. I'm planning to make one section playable (and it'll feature high level guest characters) so that should break it up a bit, I hope.

[Serra Britt]

The only times I have a problem with long cutscenes is when they happen right before a boss fight with no room to save, thus making you read it all again if you happen to die... I have a very long tolerance otherwise.

I'm looking more at the Etna reference I have and thinking about all the stuff I'll have to find to pull off a close one, even with no weapon -.- We certainly don't have skull earrings from what I can tell and I'm not sure about chokers, as it was one of the suggestions of "more of" on the Item Suggestion thread. But we DO have the perfect boots and gloves, and the elven ears will work almost perfectly for her ears anyways :p I think the challenge of finding just the right items is half the fun of the cosplay xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Ah, yes. I usually give a save before bosses for that exact reason, though... anyone playing my game should know to use a different file, as some of those bosses are damned tough and grinding can help, though it'll only get you so far.

And, yeah, I had more fun putting Hiro together than I did having her as my avatar. Hence me ditching her after two days. :p I saved a pic, though, in case I want to show her off again. Rebuilt all my old ones, too, and saved them for posterity.

[Serra Britt]

I can't think of any girl characters that I want to cosplay as being any that I wouldn't mind staying on until my next one, but if I do any of the boy cosplays I'm thinking of I might not stay there long :p

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I've been thinking of maybe cosplaying some of my original characters, but I haven't put that much thought into it yet. Plus, Trsiphee has a distinct lack of "eyes blazing with power" that a lot of my characters possess. :p

[Serra Britt]

Yea we just have those bleeding eyes...maybe it's time for you to head on over to the Item Suggestion thread? xD

-pushes Suzerain over there-

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Suggestion made. :)

Also, forgot to mention, by far my favorite part of designing my game is being able to import music. I have so many instrumental songs that really bring the scenes to life, in my opinion. They're a damned sight (sound?) better than the tracks that come with the editor. :p

[Serra Britt]

Why oh why do you tell me this stuff when I won't get to even play it until this weekend probably? xD
