Ideas

jonboy88 · #1 08-25-2001, 10:42 PM

I have some ideas for graal. Please tell me what you think.

1.Since bomys always complain about not making money there should be different colored pearls, each worth a different ammount.
2.Stefan should finish the crafting house and mining spot in the underground lake.

Thats all I could think of I had more though.

Or you could do size variations mixed in with that idea.
Small, medium, large, for each color to add a little bit of variety to it. After all, aren't pearls rated on their size?

Brad0629 · #12 08-25-2001, 11:39 PM

or liek some pearls are monsters who liek come and bite you and take your pearls

they have one different characteristic then real ones but t always changes so you gotta look :O

Naaah, they should all look the same at first, but it gives you like a 0.5 second lead time when it starts to change, then you have that ammount of time to RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!
And instead of pearls doing that, how about we have the clams do that and if they bite you, you get stuck for as long as it has you clamped down, and you lose 0.5 hearts =)

Thats a bit freaky, but I was thinking that the clam would turn a little bit darker, grow into a SLIGHTLY different shape, then attack the player. And during it's transformation, that would be the time for the player to RUN away from it.

A max of 6 pearls would fall out each time you were hit or whatever, then there would always be 1 bad explosive pearl in the bunch as the seventh pearl which would of course, blow up in your face the milisecond you touched it

I really hope Stefan is reading this topic, because we could go on for hours on the little details of this idea.

YAY

I tried to make an octopus baddie like that in my sunken ship levelset, heh...
It's a good idea, accept I do not think clams have toungs, so if you can think of something that would use a tenticle, or have a toung that is a sea creature, then let us know

Remember that the graphics have to be _GRAAL-LIKE_.
Consider the movements of the clam, then make the graphic.

If I was as talented as some other graphics people in Graal...I would make a graphic RIGHT NOW to show you what I mean.
But the clam should be shut, opening, opened all the way.
There should be 3 shades of those for when it turns into a baddie.
When it becomes a baddie, it will have 4 directions, it will be the darkest of the shades, I suppose it could have eyes somewhere, and it would have to have some more sprites for stupid stuff.

hmm yes...and if you kill it...which could be ALMOST impossible...like he will have 20 hearts

should you be able to get maybe a 30g gold perl?

tuff enemy, cept it wont be for that much, instead it will be a random prize as most baddies have.
It's a CLAM, with a HARD shell. If you hit it's shell, it wont do ANY damage, although you have to deal damage to it by hitting the insides of the clam while it's open

As for the health for the clam...lets see...i think a good 8 hearts would be enough for a monster like that. It will certainly keep the bomys on their toes

I made it. If you look closely, you'll notice the skin color is different, thats because when I was making the image, it wouldn't accept the normal Graalian skin color with the program I was using for some reason.

wetferret1 · #36 08-26-2001, 12:53 AM

Could ya make me one? (perty please mistor)

Im glad you like my idea.
And my other idea is in the underground lake there should be player houses and maybe new minerals(emerald-sapphire-ruby)
plus there really is a crafting place that needs to be finished.
