Making playable characters saints could work? Saint cults through the middle ages were basically people lowkey carrying on with polytheism while flying under church's radar.

Also, representing the Orthodox sect would be a nice change of pace from how mainstream media usually portrays Christianity.

That could work... I was thinking like... Gabriel or something.

Speaking of Pokemon Snap, I remember the old Blockbuster stores had that booth or whatever that allowed people to print Pokemon Snap pictures. Now that there is a New Pokemon Snap, I would love to see it again. Since Blockbuster is no more, basically, maybe Best Buy would be the place for that?

They're actually releasing a printer thing for the switch for games like Pokemon Snap.

Joe posted about it. It looks pretty cool.

I'd rather just share my pics on Twitter.

Now that is even better! I wouldn't mind going to a store like in the old days of the first Pokemon Snap, though.

100%'d Crash 2 on my first playthrough.

It was really fun, I liked it a lot more than Crash 1. It got kinda hard near the end, but it felt like a natural curve of difficulty instead of fighting against the game itself in Crash 1.

Yeah, I'm so used to MegaTen angels that I have a hard time visualizing them in other styles.

After they fix their Celtic gods lineup, where the hell is Brigid and the Dagda?

OK. I'm trying to design a roster for a mythology themed fighting game inspired by but not directly tied to Smite. So for Celtic Mythology, who would you suggest I include? Like... who are the four essentials?

 

[TheMightyP]

Also, Crash never got the battery for Coco.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

I honestly don't even know what to say to this one: Someone's Made A Smash Ultimate Mod That Removes Everything Fire Emblem-Related

Really can't let it go, huh.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

I don't think I will ever understand why I need to pay to open .rar files. My WinZIP trial expired so I'm kinda just screwed there.

Use winrar instead.

It says it gives you a free- 40 day trial, but in relality, they don't care if you don't pay the fee, they still let you use it

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Well, do you prefer the updated look with the tentacles ears?


...that's a sentence I wasn't expecting to write today....

Probably with the tentacle ears.

The Dagda, The Morrigan, Lugh, and Brigid.

Btw, are you planning to include any modern mythologies aside from Christianity and Hinduism?

 

[SnakeFighter64]

The Dagda, The Morrigan, Lugh, and Brigid.

Right now the pantheons I have represented (in varying ammounts) are Greek, Norse, Egyptian, Yoruba, Babylonian, Chinese, Japanese, Maya, Hindu, Polynesian, Celtic, Christian, the Great Old Ones, and at least one native american pantheon/spiritual tradition that I haven't picked yet.

Thanks to the power of my indecisive mind, I decided to tweak/changes a few stuff and this is what I got.

What do you think? Likes are nice, but I prefer some feedback if possible.

Guh-Huzzah! , @Dyllybirdy , @AndreaAC , @KarneraMythos , Noipoi , Wademan94 , @Knight Dude , @Bakugan2556

(Btw, I been working on lots of others characters atm, but I don't have anything I can show yet, so no worry)

I think I prefer the ears on the first one but the outfit on the newest version looks nicer.

 

[TheMightyP]

I say they should patch Smash so that some character is removed from the roster for the remainer of the patch, and see how long until people notice.

The roster is the only thing Smash fans care about the game, so I give it two seconds at most.

I wouldn't say rightfully criticizing a multi-billion corporate has anything morally objectionable.

you know you make a damn valid point osby

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Watching Ice Age tonight. Haven't watched that film in years. Such a classic.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Probably with the tentacle ears.

gotta save that line for out of context content

Really tho, thanks for the answer.

Yeah, I'm myself a bit torn with the ears, but the great thing with a shapeshifting character like her is that you can bring old design element if you find a good excuse for it.

Tho just letting you two know, everything on her is part of her body, so it's really a outfit....per say.....?

You know the trope on TvTrope already. That aside, thanks for answerin', it's great.

 

[Kirby Dragons]

When are they gonna add Kratos to Smite?

After they add Arceus, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, of course.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Listening to Why Can't We Be Friends. Hobbs & Shaw version.

Funny two versions of that song is in that movie and Ice Age (2002) in the latters case one of the trailers.

It was impossible for me to respond too fast to this! I always did like physical manuals, and in fact, I would often find it (oddly enough) more fun to read the new manual (if it had enough depth) than to play the new game!

Who the hell even has Digital Guides or manuals?

I don't see either of them even anymore.

3DS and Wii U had them. I don't think the Switch does.

I hate that i actually snorted from that.

Let’s say you were working a concept where the main characters are all the same type of creature. And there’s a large group of them.

How would you avoid the Smurfs/Care Bears effect? Where they’re all functionally identical except for their one defining trait.

I’d like to hear more tips for this so I don’t make the spirits of the same elements in my series all alike.

But yeah, aside from the body types and faces tip, if you have like their personalities and backstories figured out, have their appearances reflect their upbringings and culture.
