My parents are thinking Vale, only because they've always wanted to ski there.  We have a ticket thing where we can go to any of like 5 different resorts w/ that one ticket so if we don't like it there, we can always go somewhere else.

Ah, yes, then by all means, go to vail (not like I really have any say in the matter anyways, but oh well).  I believe the ticket also is valid at Brekenridge, I encourage you to try there as well (no, I don't work for them).

Sorry to post again, is the game a bird's eye or side view? Also, fume, clay spire, tundra, supercool, any more explaination?

EDIT: Ok, my work space so far... The fire is for flare, the ball thingy is the fireball, those little things are for when the fireball explodes (don't know if your going that deep with the animation...), the big wave thing is the mudslide (not very good), and the other two things are the plasma stuff.  The two plasma thing look good when they animate.

Battle animations aren't my thing (which is really slowing me down in Aura), talk to necro.

Necro should make sprite for money

and how did the chosen one topic went to skiing in colorado discussion for half a page? O_O

But you have to admit, skiing in Colorado is a good topic, we could have changed to marine biology in Wyoming, which there isn't alot of consideriding there's not alot of water there.  Anyways...I wouldn't pay money, unless I was selling the game that the sprites were for for money, in which case it would make alot of sense to get good sprites, particularly from Necro.

Mmm, yes, but I was very tired last night, which is why that post looks like it does.

Yea, but there's no way I could do that, so I'm sticking w/ all 2D.  As for the 2nd game, I'm 3/4 of the way beating it for the second time.  I rebeat the first game and am now doing this one to give me more ideas to include in the game.  I may be modeling some of my temples to the ones in the real game, but I'll make sure this game doesn't turn out to be close to a port of the game.
