Ari
I just want to thank PinkCrown and iamallama for stepping in and doing the Dev Blog for me last week when I couldn't do it myself. I also want to thank all of you for your support and for the kind messages I received. It really meant alot to me. A special thankyou to dakradha and Roxas4522 for keeping me distracted so I could still function somewhat and not sit at home moping around the house. You are the best friends I could ask for <3.
The Story
The storyline is coming along nicely. There are still lots of ideas being thrown around but I am pretty sure that we have the main story line picked out. I'm pretty excited to try it out!
The main theme is decided!
We've been throwing around a bunch of ideas, but we have now settled on one, and can start to drill down into all of the fancy little story bits and the hows and whys and llamas of it all.
We also have a number of main story elements decided on (including some super awesome cultural atmosphere stuff by Bamboozle), so the framework is really starting to build up.
As ever, it's possible it might change, but I feel like it's flexible enough to stay as the main story regardless of other decisions we make.
We might even have enough to start thinking about a real name
The Art
The sprites are coming along nicely from what I have seen. They look different from what we are used to with FO. There is more detail and not all sprites will be men which makes me happy
*purple hair and pigtails for mine pl0x* (jk kinda)
So a couple of things will be different in this new game, compared to FO. At least thats our current goal.
As you can see the sprites are about 1,5 times bigger. I'm currently still working on the animations. The animation will have 6 frames per direction, 3 frames for the idle animation and probably 3-6 frames for fighting animations. And obviously as you can see there will be a female and male character to chose from.
Zoom x 3:
Zoom x 2 (most likely pick for in-game size):
(FO body x 2 for scale)These are still drafts and will probably under go some change but I'd like to get some feedback. What do you think about the sprites, colours, style, size, etc. Hard to judge without seeing the whole sprite and animation, but first impressions will do
thanks! Hopefully soon I will be able to show the animations too. ~LT

What I did in FO -
I used to update the first version of the FO-wiki until V.2 came with the super neat auto update function. I was a UL in Relentless for one and a half year and then became the leader of those freaky peeps. Got promoted to mini-mod sometime in early summer.. Most of the time I stood around in lower level areas and tried my best to teach the magic of FO.
What I do/will be doing/would like to do for Llamaquest -
This will be probably something similar- helping people as good as I can and do weird stuff to find all the bugs llama is going to hide from us.
What I do in real life -
I'm still going to school, will be done in a few months. After that I plan to do a year of Travel and Work in New Zealand.
Favourite Game -
The first four generations of Pokémon entertained me a lot, beside that I enjoyed playing Monster Hunter on the Wii (I'm getting into Monster Hunter Freedom Unite at the moment!). I'm more of a casual gamer- always looking for nice indie titles on steam.

What I did in FO -
Joined with kongreblades and worked my way up to being semi not poor. After meeting a lot of interesting people and being the only person to lose their ignore list in the sweep I battled in the crab arena and became a mod. I dealt with mostly watching the chat and testing drops in the latest area. I made a bunch of food ssc items for myself but I take things seriously.
What I do/will be doing/would like to do for Llamaquest -
i don't know what to put here. Stuff that needs done within my capabilities.
What I do in real life -
Design websites and edit/redesign wordpress sites for a living, babysit at various times and volunteer coaching, and an avid video game player.
Favorite Game -
No More Heroes 1/2 - Wii

What I did in FO -
Had fun hanging around in Relentless and later in mod chat. Done some numbers stuff, some bugs stuf and a lot of spamming.
What I do/will be doing/would like to do for Llamaquest -
For now I'm just posting just whatever I can think of. A whole bunch of suggestions and 'yeah thats okay's
What I do in real life -
mash at keyboard. then mash at keyboard some more until a beautiful website is made.
