/EpicFail: The funny side of Spiral Knights

I'm going to try to make a comic-like series of scenes about SK that I will update whenever I feel like it, I won't promise something like 'regular' updates cause that will set me up for future disaster, these differ from my usual Spiral Spy scenes in their format and extra editing. I may try to post them in a strip form sometimes or will just put them up as a series of individual images.

If you have a suggestion, an actual funny tale, you can post them here or mail me in game (IGN: Happyapathy) if you don't want to give away what happens. Any comments are also welcome, even a simple 'lol' will show that people are reading these :)

I would also like to say that the time I waste making these is time I could have wasted playing SK :P (as goes with every other Fan Art/Fiction creator), if you like my stuff I would greatly appreciate any in-game donations/bribes to support my work.

its a first go for this, i tried to think of a way to make it so it would flow smoothly in as few images as possible, this is the best I could do. Future ones will hopefully be better.

ROFL - I always imagined something like this to happen with the token drop. Kinda like: all partymembers except one are dead, that last knight manages to kill the boss with half a pip of health left, all cheer, knight runs towards the elevator... SPLATTER!

Yikes. I smiled.

That one funny, very hectic, creepy, and crazy scene. Reminds of the Borrowers. Rather unfortunate for that group though it could be worse (Devilites, Greavers, aaahhhh!). How many environments did you use? And how long did that take?

Happyapathy

I've thought about a series,

I've thought about a series, but that would take SO much work :s

Each of those pint-sized zombies are an individual model that I have to painstakingly place, however using a new technique I was able set up animations "en mass" so I could rapidly set a large number of them to be walking, attacking, or idle. This would probably make creating crowds in the future much easier.

It involves having to take the zombie model.dat file and make multiple copies of it, in this case 1z.dat, 2z.dat, 3z.dat, etc. I then set each one to be doing a different animation and just created each model in bulk, so every 1z.dat zombie would be walking, 2z.dat zombies would be attacking, 3z.dat zombies would be idle, etc.

If that sounds like a whole lot of gibberish I apologize, its not a very easy thing to explain.

@happyapathy

How did you do it? You made one in a pose, saved it, and then continued to keep loading it, and then placing it?
PS: You know that you can turn off the Compass and the Grid right?

Happyapathy

Yeah, I kinda went "Oh crap"

Yeah, I kinda went "Oh crap" after I took that picture and noticed the grid :/

Also the fog effect is new too :D

Best way to explain the whole model thing would be to make an example guide, too lazy to do it now but I will sometime in the future.

I like very much. Especially the tiny skeletons, and the idea of stepping in tiny slime cubes. I often think about the amount of goo stuck to the knights that come up out of the clockworks. Frankly its messy down there, especially after killing the Jelly King.

Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact I'm an unwavering gunner who probably hasn't touched a sword since I put my slime slasher down mid-way through reaching Tier 2, my Character is more liable to stab himself then the intended target, but that doesn't mean I can't try!
