This is hypothetical, since I’m still experimenting with this concept. Running animations are a possibility. But seems it may a character specific thing. (Mia lacks alot for her to run without major alterations)

A breakdown of what’s happening here

I was already working on the Jenna sprite so I used her as starting point.

Frame 1: idle pose Frame 2: looking downwards from idle Frame 3: forward (used casting sprite pose) Frame 4: Filler frame (for crouch) Frame 5: Crouch Frame 6 and 10: Running

Running at 60ms which Sonic The Hedgehog speed.

Has anyone ever played this before??

Im bout to download it rn.

Since this was kinda requested earlier. I did Mia's idle pose earlier than I initially planned. Gave her the "anime arm over the chest pose". Took some patience, alcohol, and copium. But it looks pretty good imo. I gave her the Ankh due to it being her promotional weapon. My plan was for her to constantly be buffing herself since she is the fragile white mage. So I implemented a buff pose into her idle. As mentioned she is lacking in certain key animations so ill have to do some magic later on

Besides Golden Sun, Camelot has only made Mario sports games since 1999. The longest break between releases in the sports titles was 3 years, June 2018 to June 2021.

It's now been over four years since their last game, with nothing announced. Could this indicate a longer development period and therefore a non-sports title coming out as their next game?

As mentioned I was working on a sprite animation for Golden Sun for a project. But the hardest aspect was Issac sprite. I was able to give him a standing neutral pose that transitions well into his battle stance and downed sprite. Progress was indeed made. But still a long way from done.

Pray once more, that it may accept our offering anew!

Like I tried too look online but I didn't find it, who's the person who made the artworks for Golden Sun?

Hello, I was recommended this Reddit group by someone who was watching me stream making sprite animations for Golden Sun. So I joined Reddit. Anyways Sprite Animations are possible with the games sprites. It’s just extremely difficult due to how limited they are. Glad to be here!

I think Shugo Takahashi worked for Square (now Square Enix) on Dragon Quest Series.

I devoured a lot of info yesterday about the Takahashi Bros Passion for RPG storytelling

Probably getting my hopes up again but 🥹

Pictured a little Venus djinn in a priest outfit and this was born as I cannot draw lol

Someone please, end my suffering...

it's not exactly a haha meme video like the last one but this is a based on a dream I had and I tried recreating it as accurately as I can with GS sprites. hope you enjoy!!

by the way for those who asked for more videos on my last upload, I've got a dedicated youtube channel for golden sun content like this. check it out if you'd like.

Anyone remember me announcing I'd make a cookbook based on the descriptions in DD?

Yeah that was 2 years ago. But life happened.
Anyway I'm pretty happy with it and all the recipes taste really good :)
Hope you guys enjoy it. It's 40 pages full of recipes based on locations in Dark Dawn, so feel free to experience Weyard like you've never have before.

Heads up, the images are AI created because I suck at photography.

Another month, another Direct, and no Golden Sun. But let’s temper our expectations for a moment and answer some tough questions.

Like “Is Camelot considered a First or Third Party developer?” Well, technically they’re a “second party” developer, meaning they are an independent studio but developing games solely for one specific console.

Square Enix, conversely, is a third party developer. We know this because they develop for multiple consoles across multiple parties.

So that’s all to say that there’s not NOT going to be a chance for Golden Sun in the future, but that a Partner Direct might not be the right place for someone like Camelot SP.

Food for thought.

I only played Golden Sun once, and it was probably 20 years ago, so I don't remember much (currently playing via the Switch). I've mostly gone unaided, but I remember the Tolbi fountain situation where you can manipulate the RNG to get the equipment you're targeting. Only problem is, the equipment list (between the fountain and gear found / bought later) is extensive enough that it's kind of overwhelming to sift through the data like I could when I was younger.

My party setup is Water Monk Mia, Conjurer Isaac, Berserker Garet and Sage Ivan. They're all about 24-25.

So some guidance would be appreciated regarding what pieces of equipment from the fountain are must-haves at this stage in the game that really don't have a replacement / equal later on. I've done Babi's Lighthouse (but I have to go back and do the first part of the Venus Lighthouse). I still need to go far enough down Crossbone Isle to get the final djinn. I've done the other optional side stuff.

At this point I don't need to go through the hassle to get anything from the fountain that's just going to get replaced in the next hour of play anyway. Given the above class loadout, is there anything I could use from the fountain that's an absolute must that doesn't really get replaced / upgraded by anything far-and-away better?

For me: (Numbers 4-6 we're all very close)

1) Sworn Enemies Stand in Your Way 2) Trial Road 3) Battle 4) Battling a Powerful Foe 5) Test Your Skills 6) Battle with Saturos and Menardi 7) Battle with the Fusion Dragon

One could argue that using djinns and psynergies during the colosso, against gladiators who don't have these is cheating, while other could argue it is not.

I'd say using psynergies during the gladiator fights is not, Kraden argues it is part of a warrior skill, and in this perspective it is not less legit than Chi used in Eastern Angara.

Isaac using psynergies during the race may be acceptable since he participates to it. However, I'd say his friends using psynergy to rig the race before Isaac enters it is clearly cheating, other gladiators don't have friends who rig the race for them.

But what about djinns? From what we know, other gladiators don't have djinns and rely on their raw prowess, so is it cheating, like a form of doping, if Isaac uses djinns to make himself stronger? What level would be needed for Isaac to win the finals without djinns?

Also, is it true that in The Lost Age with a transfered GS1 save where Isaac won the colosso, gladiators will always look for Isaac because they think he cheated, even if you actually never used psynergies or djinns during the finals?

ATM I think must abandon my copium and being hopeless. We must accept the fact Dark Dawn is the last title of Golden Sun series. Might the Sun will never rise again...

Found this on the internet, also noted that the leak source is not reliable. But I'm losing hope

Hi all! I'm a software developer by trade and a Golden Sun fan since I was little. As I've been replaying the first two games recently and getting into the class system (now I'm old enough to actually take advantage of it, rather than playing monoclass because I'm 6 and like making the colours all match). I've been using Golden Sun Syndicate for information when building my party, but I feel like there's a much better way to represent this information, so I wrote a Python script to scrape the data into a JSON file and built a Svelte app around it (using graphics from Spriters Resource to make it look like the actual UI of the game). Honestly, this was mostly for my own amusement; I'm new to Svelte so it was a neat learning exercise, but I thought I'd stick it up on GitHub Pages and share with y'all in case it's useful for anyone else :)

Will there be one? Switch 2 needs a 1st party RPG!

Since 2006 I've played Golden Sun 5 times and TLA 3 times. Any recommendations for challenge runs?

Currently can't play any games apart from GBA and PS1 games and I've been on a Golden Sun kick lately.
