If Tumblr had been around when I first decided to make this comic, I might not have went with the compromise I eventually did.Īnyway, about the comic, the first panel is the screenshot of the army units. Tumblr, though, allows for a variable format when it comes to panels. The obvious solution did not hit me until dozens of comics later. For the longest time, I mixed and matched when necessary, trying to keep “out of battle” comics separate from the screencap and “in battle” comics when I could. So I presented it as is with the 256 x 222 dimensions.Īs you can tell, not being able to have a fixed panel size became an issue I struggled with during the comic, as using whole screenshots from was going to be necessary for me to tell the comic. Unlike the previous two screencaps, there was no way of cropping the screenshot to make it the necessary size. Up until then, all of the panels were 240 x 160 due to these being the dimensions of the screens in Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis. As you’ve noticed the first panel is a direct screencap of Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen. Novemwas when this comic was first published.

Still Angel will be the only male angel I have in this comic.įinally, if you notice, the background is completely off.
TACTICS OGRE SPRITES PSP
It was only in the prequel, Tactics Ogre: the Knight of Lodis that we saw male angelic classes and given that the story featured a fallen male angel as the ultimate antagonist, I can see the gods being jerks and saying “no guy angels allowed.” Then the remake of Tactics Ogre for the PSP allowed for male Divine Knights and ruined this plotline. In Ogre Battle, Ogre Battle 64, and even the first Tactics Ogre, Angels and Angel Knights were a female-only class. She could have remained a Princess and joined the unit, but then it would mean that she’d have been instantly promoted to leader and thus interfered with the development of this world.īy the way, Angel’s explanation may be suspect, but it does contain several elements of truth. Of course, Princess didn’t have join in with the donning of the armor.
More likely, though, she utilized the game mechanics to downgrade her own class. Maybe she borrowed a disguise pen from a certain magical girl. It’s funny how Princess can’t control her own power and yet is able to fashion Amazonian armor for her and Angel. However, this twist opens up new storytelling opportunities. The secondary reason is while it’s funny that Angel and Princess are also members of their respective eponymous classes by default, both would be completely too powerful to remain as they were (at this point in the game, no one except possibly the Opinion Leader would have access to damaging White magic attacks), and it would stretch credibility for both to be on the sidelines.
TACTICS OGRE SPRITES FULL
The main reason for this plot twist is the need to Angel and Princess integrated for a little while longer without making full sprite sheets for them. Princess’s is actually just the Amazon sprite with my edits and a slightly edited portrait, while Angel’s portrait was harder to make. Hey, I may be in a constant state of despair, but this one was a little deeper than most.įinally, I had to make the new sprites and portraits for Angel and Princess. Another factor was that I had started to despair again. Then after I got trained, I was moved to the evening shift and had to work weekends, too. Why? Well, it’s because I got another job, a job that was much, much more complicated than my previous job. Then I left the comic sitting idle for over three months. I actually made a proto-comic version of this one and posted it on July 2 of the same year.
