They coulda chosen the Ice Owl, the Hammerhead, or the Spring Bomb guy, but NOPE, let's go with the ball with a green face drawn by a small child. The drawing's not bad, but it just seems like they always choose some of the worst, most bland designs or names in these contests because "Awwww they're kids, they're so cute, we can't let them all lose!"

Speaking of creating characters...
Not sure if this was mentioned before, as I've only skimmed though the last few pages, but some of the character artists from V.V. will be attending GDC to show off a live demonstration of how they design Skylanders. Just a heads-up for anyone interested, although this isn't happening until March...
http://schedule.gdconf.com/ses...-for-skylanders
If you're impatient like me, however, I'd suggest just watching Mr. Phillips do his Twitch streams. How I found out this was even going to be a thing, really. Pretty much shows his creative process.

If Guha Bala attends we won't hear anything of interest,just how they really brought this X to the world of skylands and it's new and interesting.

Oh, whoops, had the actual description blocked. Wonder if this character will be for 7, but either way that they archive that so people can get something out of it. They're good artists, even if sometimes really skip some essentials, but usually you have to take even the best artist around's conference with a grain of salt and listen to the good side. But no PR speak from what it seems so maybe it'll be as nice as I-Wei's presentation of Food Fight,Chopper,Kaos and Krypt King back when TT was revealed.

Wow, a great opportunity for all the fans of skylanders which are into characters design or just want to take a deeper look at the process. A pity is at the other side of the world for me.

Just saw the early plans TFB showed off for Spyro's Adventure last night and it seems as if GDC typically uploads footage from their demos. I hope that continues.
(the whole hatching-dragon-egg idea would've been really cool, imo)

It seems someone has leaked Nintendo 3ds lineup for 2016. PLease, take this with a grain of salt, according to IGN moderators the person who leak this is in position to know so but that doesn't mean is true. Any guess of any of those titles might be related to skylanders?:

http://www.ign.com/boards/thre...dget.454713072/

I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to other forums. Please forgive my mistake if we can't do that.

Basically the rumoured line up is :

Spring-Early Summer

Mario and Sonic Rio 2016
Nintendo Selects Wave 1
Hyrule Warriors Legends
Disney Art Academy
Bravely Second
Code Name: “Caviar F” (all ages smaller budget game)
Metroid Prime: Federation Force

Summer

Code name: “Torte City” big budget unannounced game for all gamers core/all ages
Dragon Quest VII
Code name: “Cadillac” (all ages smaller budget game late summer)

Fall-Holiday

3DS Hardware Price Cut
Code name: “N-Stars” big budget game for all ages
Nintendo Selects Wave 2
Code name: “DMW2” possibly Disney Magical World 2
Dragon Quest VIII
Pokémon 20th Anniversary game “Niji” (remember code names mean nothing, forget about the Rainbow, your gold is not there)

Yeah, they don't use codenames like that, iirc looking at concept art and prototypes they just call the games by series number. No need to worry about link posts either.

Now, something I'm actually hesitant in posting, what the heck is this...uh....child unfriendly SFX and who had the bright idea of putting it on Trigger Happy? I don't remember this from the other games.
(please let's not try to push limits on the dicussion like the valentines video, keep the jokes SFW)

Also taking this moment to note that VV butchers the characters they're so in love with. Trigger Happy can speak coherent sentences in pretty much any other work - in fact,it's his thing to be incredibly over the top with his wording. His Quest dialogue seems to treat him like an overexcited animal.

Honestly, I figured that Triggs' lines were shorted than expected because the voice was a pain for the actor to do, so they gave him short lines to say. David likely wrote the dialogue for all the characters and (If I am right) made sure Triggs' lines weren't too much.

Lol I clicked the link and thought another contest was the Skylanders one. I was like "Sprinkles is cute! She'd make a good Skylander" and then I saw this and went back. I know they're just kids but man... The other contests have much better submissions (I'm putting it nicely).

Might be because this went without much noise so only kids who dropped by the store noticed and rushed a drawing as soon as they could. Only noticed because of a random kid on youtube that had it on the description, and with research only found the GAME twitters and official page. Had someone made some articles and blog posts we'd definately see higher quality since there wasn't an age limit.

Ok, so there is this guy who has beaten me with incredible ease at SSC online racing. 6 times in a row with times gap which ranged from 5 to 9 seconds.

I was using instant hot streak equipped with all the gear that maximizes speed and knight light as the driver, while he was using thump truck with smash hit on the seat.

I'm quite experienced at SSC racing, I win often tbh, but this dude was waaaaay to fast. No matter how many speed boosts I was awarded during the party I never catch him up.

Can anyone with thump truck and smash hit, confirm this team is the fastest? Or is it that this user had an incredible arsenal of boosts?

True, there are some with a crazy boost, however I have noticed those are not awarded when you are going in the first place, and this user was like 90% of the race in the first place.

Unfortunately he was always too ahead of me to have a clear sight of his mods, and since he was the owner of the party he was behind me at the start of the race. All I could see was that he have this "ignition" painting effect ( i don't remember the exact name) which changes in dfferent orange colours. However I tried mod in my own hot streak and didn't notice any change.

It might have something to do with the Magic Item Stars. It does show in the game that they are extra stars, so it is only logical to assume that they would bump up the percentage.

Beenox's usual. I know they also have internal QA but it doesn't seem to have changed much.

I noticed there were plenty of character that lost a lot with me on gameplay this time and not just design. Someone that likes to assume would say 'running out of ideas', but it actually feels like very little frame adjustment was made and this brings several skylanders' gameplay down. Thrillipede and everyone with stupid amounts of hitstop(including Nightfall, but thank Eon for Dread Head giving her another option) especially.

Huh, there's a Birthday page on the official site, with a zip full of free printable party things. Mich better than buying it off of Ebay, I'm sure.

Oh goodie, they're back to 9 minutes, was getting worried they'd just skim through from now on.

"Dev guys". I know you're speaking to kids but they know what a job is. But "level design guy" at least knows what levels were already done and what to explore new in Skylands.
You can see glimpses of new Land of the Undead watercolors that Dave didn't post in his blog yet.

I noticed they held back on saying that Spell Punk Library would go between the ruined school and the past working one, even if Dave straight up said it in the blog. Probably thinking they can pull off Tower of Time in a main game again.

Guha Bala at the end proceeds to literally repeat what the level designer said word by word. What's with this guy and repeating things?

Those guys should be proud of themselves.
Visual and design wise SuperChargers is truly a blast and the level-gimmicks are all unique and interesting.
They truly put true passion and dedication.

I'm just sad this was all taken and placed after vehicles instead of before or at least along them; seriously, did you really needed vehicles to introduce underwater and flying mechanics or open areas...?
What's there is great but is definitely not enough.


I agree it's a pity they didn't talk much about Spell Punk Library's original concept but if that means having a similar level in the future, I'm all for it! smilie

Man drawing Nightfall is suffering. A great figure for sure, but she beats everyone by how horribly innacurate her artwork and figure are to ingame model.
You think her jacket is green and black? Nope, all green with purple stripes and gold accents and the black sleeves are completely wrong. Think her trousers are black and so are her shoes? Nope, purple with gold accents,almost pink with strong light. Gloves are purple, and with spheres over the knuckles you wouldn't even see from afar.
Her breathing mask is just the weird spheres and diamond shaped metal? She has a really strange structure under it, but good luck finding screenshots with her head lifted in good quality because the figure doesn't have it!

Trail Blazer is nothing comparer to this. >w>

Aww yeah I love when a 11 euro figure gets import tax like it's some eletronic or above 50 dollars. Bat Spin managed to give me more hell than Nightfall at this point, which means it's probably my last purchase until the latter half of the year for me.

On those Cynder puns, there's probably some lore about the Lords of Cinder from Dark Souls that could be funny out of context.
