Insane Difficulty: Alternate Sprite Patches - Insane Difficulty

29 December 2016 - 09:11 AM

So I have begun a project on making decent alt-graphics for all the playable characters. This all began when someone random on Discord suggested having redheaded Celes just because. In each spoiler tag I'll put each patch as I make them. In addition, each spoiler tag will have the graphics themselves if you want to import them.

Gi Nattack has been a big help in helping me figure out why the patches weren't working. These ones appear to not cause monsters to explode in graphical insanity.

Redheads (Celes, Sabin, Edgar, Leo)

Spoiler

The first one I made. Credit goes to Bauglir for making the portraits. Celes, Sabin, and Edgar's sprites are altered. Along with Opera Celes and "Chained up" Celes. In addition, a random tree that is used in the end credits is altered slightly since it uses the hair color.

There are NPCs that use this color palette. In my (admittedly short) testing I only saw 1 NPC (who you only see for a very short time) look weird with it.

Pink Haired Terra

Spoiler

Fantome Ghost suggested this on Discord and I rather liked it, so I decided to make it. Once again, credit to Bauglir for the portrait. A few other sprites were altered (as you can see below) to not look too bad.

Dog/NInja Swap

Spoiler

During a randomizer run Shadow's intro caused it to show Interceptor's sprite instead of "shadow's" I thought it was funny and made... this... It swaps the dogs with Shadow's sprite and Shadow's sprite with the dogs. Enemy sprites and interceptor's in-combat trigger are unaffected.

The only known issue is that the ninja sprite doesn't like something about being used as a dog sprite, so it looks a little weird.

The portrait for Dog Shadow was found here

Indiana Locke

Spoiler

For a while I was trying to make something more ambitious for myself, in having a more full sprite edit instead of recoloring and minor tweaks. I made Locke a cosplay outfit. I'm not actually all that happy with it, but It was the best I could manage to make and I feel it was good enough to post. This one doesn't come with a portrait.

Here. I made you some half-assed gifts!

Updating original post with patches that use the redheads (I slightly altered Leo's but his portrait isn't very important so who cares)

Pink Haired Terra! (Portrait made super quick by Bauglir again)



At the recommendation of Fantome Ghost on the Discord, I've decided to pinkify Terra's hair

A few sprites are modified to accommodate the palette change. The 'dancer' sprite, Daryl, and Katrin are all altered. I don't "think" anything else makes use of the 2 colors I changed.
