Since FurAffinity is back up(ish) I can now show the fanart of Princess Rescue that was recently made. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60727434/ This fanart made me want to go back and kick that drone game over level into high gear, and sure enough I'm doing just that. I've started quick sprite work for it which includes changeling sprites. Now as for OC sprites, that's not feasible. If I have to make sprites of every single OC that gets captured in the drone level, I'm probably going to eat a big bag of nails and used condoms. No, I'll just do what Bitshift does with Cruel Serenade episode 2 and have every oc's sprite be one uniform one. The CGs for capturing the characters will be very different though, I promise. Though to save myself the headache, I may have to do them in basic color. (Full color takes a marginally longer time, s'why I charge more for it.) I'd like to emphasize that yes, including your OC in this level is free BUT if they appear here, they cannot appear in the future levels (because they're in the last bastion of free ponies.) So give it some thought.
Changelings:
While I am working on the drone playable game over (Hitherto referred to as the Bad Finale,) and sprites, I started a new sprite sheet especially for changelings. Say hello to the Slimer. In the changeling level, he uses that big old slime sprayer (that he totally did NOT steal from the Ghostbusters HQ in new york) so slime your enemies and make them easy prey. Mechanics wise, the slimer is simple: he sees you, he sprays you unless you get the drop on him and show him the goo tanks on his back will NOT protect his ass from your hoof, or fight through the slime and 1v3 him.
I'm thinking the changeling level can be a neat little grab bag of different enemies capable of many other abilities, but I'm sort of drawing a blank. All I really have is the "Smokebomb and Replace" changelings who, upon spotting the enemy, will bumrush them, deploy a smokebomb, and have a chance at replacing a character with disguised changeling. Let me know what kind of enemies I could impliment mechanics wise. Let me know in the description what idea you have for a changeling enemy, what they'd look like, and how they'd fight mechanically wise.
And speaking of sprites, here is a latex pone I accidentally made while trying to make the "other npc" sprite. Might have use for her somewhere down the road, idk.
