Harpy-eagle gryphon, one of the Kickstarter monster-backer pledges. This little fella was sponsored by Vahilor. He was awesome to work on.

I’ve been asked how we’re doing the “animation” for Flight Rising’s baddies. These guys are not a true frame-by-frame animation.They’re generally made up of a single illustration that is cut, rotated, stretched, or squished.
These are the sprite sheets look like before they’re plugged into the coliseum engine. Once they’re in the engine the sheets tick off at a pre-established rate and the enemies gain further liveliness as they jump forward and pounce for attacks, rock back and flash when hit, or fade out into a cloud of swirling smoke as they are vanquished.

The time is finally here! The next stage of Flight Rising’s launch plans have now begun, and our Kickstarter Campaign is off and running! The fundraising campaign will be running until April 9th, 2013 11:00PM EST, so you have plenty of time to jump in and participate (and we hope you do!)
Flight Rising’s Kickstarter campaign will be helping fund an upgrade to our hosting server, as well as support the current and ongoing development of the site’s content.
We have tons of special goodies lined up for those who donate, so please check ‘em out! We appreciate any and all support you guys provide. Thank you!
Flight Rising is a browser-based game I’ve been working on for a couple of years with the talented Dana P, Darren H, and Brandon W. In Flight Rising you lead an elemental clan of dragons. You can raise, breed, battle, adventure, and watch your clan grow.
We’ve launched a kickstarter so that we can raise the fund for a dedicated server. This will enable us to reach our grand opening sooner, with a server capable of supporting hundreds of concurrent online users.
Excite!
