Only thing I can say: the animations of the killer pumpkins are some of the best I have seen in this game....ever (2D at least - don´t know bout EC).
I know this won´t satisfy anyone here but it certainly was a graphic highlight of UO for me (and I started in 98).

Wow! Thanks for that! I'm a fair animator, and I haven't animated a lot of characters for UO, just these pumpkins, last years Werewolf, and the Ancient Hellhounds. Thanks for the kind words, you made my day!!

:bowdown: I always wonder who is behind various unique animations in UO. So it's great to learn you are behind the creation of such a great animation. Hello Grimm! I too applaud the incredibly creative animation of your Killer Pumpkin! Such fun to watch .. if it doesn't kill me while I study how it behaves. So funny when you bump into it or get close or have it chase after your character.

-- when I cast invis on self to get Killer Pumpkin out of its attack mode, it stops, crouches and sits there for a bit, before getting up and wandering off in display of smoke and fire all lit up. So interesting to watch. Moody thing! Yes you deserve applause for this character!

Thanks, again, very much appreciated. I would like to point out that as well as the animations turned out, our desigers made them work and behave properly in game. Thanks, guys!

Grimm, don't forget the Turkeys!

Again, nice job on Steven King Pumpkins.

Oh, I put those in, but I didn't do the actual animations. Those were done by a very talented animator who used to be on the team named Stuart.

Although you did make me remember that I did some of virtuebanes special animations, and animated his cape in all of them- with varying success.

Grimm . Great job on the animations. Toss us a bone and spruce up the graveyards with something real nasty and rewarding. Plllzzzzz

Well, my work for Halloween is done. Have to get back to work on higher resolution tasks. Not sure what else is in store for you guys, but whatever's coming, hope you all enjoy.

Can I point this out for those who seem to have missed it and are complaining about Halloween content - Grimm has noted here that what he personally did for Halloween is done and we are seeing that but that something else is coming that he didn't work on.

Thanks for pointing that out, Kayne!

Sorry I didn't word that better everyone, but I really know nothing about what, if anything, is coming other than the pumpkins. I simply don't know.

Glad you like them! They were a lot of fun for me to make. As for the other question, that's actually better suited for a designer to answer since that kind of stuff falls outside of my knowledge.

Cheers!
