[Neikun]

Ahaha.
I'm humbled to be so loved.
Do you think I should add fire to the particle system?
Scratch the fire, never looks right.
How about this:

Note: This was just a quick look at what the texture I used for the Arcane Ogre would look like when merged with the ice lizard texture.

Okay so in trying to make the Arcane Lizard, I accidentally made this:

What do? D:

After a producing a couple alternates that would be cool to develop further, I finally have a candidate for the final product!
Have a gander.

SpoilerShow

A contender appears!

Hmm.. First was better

[Ciccipicci]

Great work for the upcoming packs! Anyway, I've wrote a comment on nexus reguarding missing files in the pack

[Neikun]

Thanks for the bug find. You can tell organization is not something native to me lol.
I work on too much at once and occasionally forget if I've already done something. Or in this case, haven't done something yet.
The updated file is up on the Nexus, but if you don't feel like downloading it, just delete the cube_diseased material definition.

Final draft of the Arcane Lizard:

I like that green/yellow lizard (accidental), keep that one please & pack it up.

[Neikun]

Sure, I'll do that now.
I plan to make a pack out of it, but I'll pack it up now and pm it to you.

Is that ogre supposed to be spell-caster? Really looks like one. I was thinking about spell-casting ogre (with range brain) at some point and the one you've created seems natural for that role.
Plus I like such gentle surprises, like when player expecting a charge is struck by a lighting bolt

[JohnWordsworth]

Ogre Spellcaster eh? I smell an Ogre Magi in the works! Haha

Love the arcane lizard - cool effect and spot on with the skin texture. Just wish I had the time to make enough mods to make good use of all of your assets! Lol

Hey, I'm only in charge of the visuals at the moment.
I've really taken a back seat on the scripting side of Grimrock and have just been pouring all my creative talents into visual effects.
Every modding community needs specialists. haha.
The theme behind the upcoming Arcane Monsters pack is that the monsters included seem to be just a little bit too heavily influenced by magic. Whether they are just pretty looking, or have special magical powers--well, I'll leave that up to you guys. Although, you make me really really want to switch his hammer for a shaman staff...
-mental note: Understand Blender.

EDIT: Extra note on the charge mechanic; he does the pre-charge animation and roar, but as he roars, he belches a lightning bolt! o:
I think that would be awesome.

@John, if figure if every modder in the community makes a mod using at least one of my assets, there should still be 37 assets left over.. haha
I did my best to match the skin colour to the particle colours :3 These colours are animated

Send me the Ogre mage? I actually have an Ogre Mage LEVEL in HH, They are just ogres that talk and teleport at opportune moments , But now they can be PRETTY ogres that talk and teleport at opportune moments!
