Okay, I have a bunch of very old and unfinished sprites here on my computer, and I thought I'd share them with the team. Don't get me wrong, this is kind of just a random, fancy post, like a little treat or something; they're definitely scrapped and I definitely don't want to delay the release by losing time finishing them...apart from the last sprite below.
Cedric's Ark - This was meant to be the box in which Cedric keeps the Frozen Flame (as in the very first plot outline) and is obviously based on the
Ark of the Covenant. The corresponding chapter is good enough as is and adding this would require some annoying coding (like moving soldiers to the right coordinates so that they appear to carry the ark, etc.).
Henchman - That's a human enemy made from the Hench sprite (so it's a Henchman...get it?
). I tried to make that human enemy because there's a lack of them. Only the face has to be modified, so I could whip up the complete spriteset in less than one day if needed, but the problem is that the Hench is a nice Mystic enemy to have and I don't know if we should replace him. So I only ever made one frame as a test.
N-Bulb - A bigger version of the Neo-N-Bulb from CC, for the Porre Lab. Lol this one looks really bad...
Ozzie - Modified to look like his CC design. I only ever completed one frame, since he's not a truely important NPC in this game. Redesigning him would mean we'd have to redesign Flea too (and Slash, but he's the same except for a black ponytail), so we're definitely leaving this one out.
Reptite Child - I thought it would be nice for Prehistory and the Reptite timeline, but it's not worth the effort and wasting a sprite slot.
King Zeal - That would be the final boss; King Zeal mutating into a Lavos. I wanted to show that sprite only when it's done, but as you know I got sidetracked by real life last year and never actually finished it (the top spike, the belly and the hole that shouldn't be a hole are really rough). As a tileset rather than a real sprite, it would have no animation apart from the flames.
Out of all these sprites, the first five sprites are definitely scrapped; the only one I will try to finish is the King Zeal one, after the polishing phase when all that will be remaining is beta-testing.
