Hello everybody!

The Sheeperium Race is a highly inteligent race and they value technology and knowledge over anyithing else.
Their Mission is to Find their Creators the "Enlightened Ones" to unite the two long lost and hidden race to defend this section of the Universe from the Harvester Race, the Breih'Ka.The Sheeperium Race often use vurnerable and highly unstable Cores to power their mysteriously powerful weapons and shields in battle.

They often have grotesque looking ships and these ships are often 2x and even 3-4x bigger than an avarge ship!
They are scattered around the Northern universe caused by the Holy War on the North around 8000 years ago with the "Enlightened Ones" and many other races fighting for their place in the Universe.By the reports all ships except for the swarmer, can create swarmers.These Swarmers are deadly in pack and they don't have a pilot.The Breih'Ka also steals technology from the races they trample.

Thanks for reading and please rate ^^!

Nice ships, and you really nailed it on shading the first one. Well done.
Anyway you have some really nice glows......

[TheSoulKniTTer]

Uhh well...the shading is cause some parts are naturally darker than others lol...

But thanks for your opinion!:)

[Ristyo]

Are those thruster glows from the thruster module or did you made them manually?

[-Desert-]

To be honest... The ships themselves are actually good for first ships. I just don't like the glowing modules, their stock style just doesn't fit with the rest of your ship. Try setting their alpha to 0. You can't change their sprite, but you can always add a non-firing weapon on top of it with a custom sprite.

There are a few things that aren't completely perfect but it's no overstretched gunbrick spam :3


The first ship is the best in my opinion. It has depth and I like the antennas. But what is that star thing at the rear without any connection to the ship? It looks terrible. The glowball... It looks weird. As Ristyo said, you did well on those shades there

The second ship, the scout seems overpowered because of its teleport spam, unless it's shortrange or very inaccurate, and the railgun. I like it, except for the bits that stick out. I see what you're trying to do, but it doesn't flow together that well.

The large ship in your third picture has a problem with the center parts. They don't fit, it almost looks like a brick with some stuff slapped onto it (it's mainly the stock #22's that are doing this)

The small fighters are also very good, I'd love to see a download of those in particular.

Overall you've made something way better than the average new guy on this forum. Keep going, you've got enough talent

[TheSoulKniTTer]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys ^^
I actually tought that Anna will come here to shout me down xD

So to anserw a few stuff...

1. Yes those are Thrusters with custom sprites.Not selfmade but maybe I will make my own sections and effects since I have a bit of experience in pixel art

2. Well yeah the Sheeperium BattleCruiser is my first ship with custom sprites, so its the oldest too.Actually these are going to be my main 3 race probably.(Names not confirmed for now)The first race is probably going to be some enlihtened creatures with high inteligence and technology.Their usual ship style will be smooth and pointy with a glowing unstable core.

The second race will be some kind of harvesters.They are bug-like creatures with high teleport technology and with much bigger ships than usual.Usual ship style will be grotesque.

The third race will be probably very humanoid.Not sure about them for now

Yeah I will probably rework them a little soon.Since i discovered that there are a bit more sections than I tought I have lol.Also I wanted to include a download link but the folder is locked and im too lazy to spend a few minutes figuring it out how to unlock it.Maybe later I will unlock it somehow lol.
