an alternate floating island
Introduction
Welcome to another Floating Island Alternate I've made! It is heavily influenced by old school Final Fantasy and D&D. I definitely wanted to do more things with crystals and such, and while remaking the Fallen Isles alternate, I paralleled development on Sky Crystals. Hopefully it earns a cozy place in your heart. Of course there are some more storied things to the alternate, and it even has a few easter eggs for any of my avid alternate followers out there.
Please enjoy!
Nothing here yet!

Drakes are a scourge upon the sky. They are so dangerous and so plentiful, that it is not uncommon for adventurers to be paid for slaying them. They roost within the Sky Crystals and feed from Sky Lakes, attacking anything that gets in their way.
Drakes behave similar to Harpies. They will fly around the player while spitting fireballs. They have a 50% chance to inflict the player with On Fire!
Dragons and Drakes were once a part of normal life to denizens of the Sky Crystals. It was because of the appearance of Crystal Dragons that no one lives above the clouds any longer. They use the crystals that grow from their backs to channel the very essence of storms to fire deadly bolts of lightning.
Crystal Dragons fly slowly to approach the player. When they do attack, the Crystal Dragon must first charge. The bolt fired will target the player's position at the time of firing (hold still at your own peril). Their attacks inflict Electrified.

Shimmering Chest Weapons & Tools
Sprite | Name | DMG | Power | Velocity | Mana | KB | Use Time | Rarity | Ingredients | Crafted At
Dragon Slayer is a spear that carries the player in the direction that it is used (like a dash) and pierces all enemies in the path. The Dragon Slayer will carry the player far enough (when used directly upward) that the landing will cause fall damage. The weapon is strong, but unfortunately also slow.

Like this one more than the garden. I see shiny crystals, I want.
About the Skyfarer's Stirrups, does it prevent fall damage as well, or you take fall damage and deal fall damage to targets around you?

It's a take and deal. It does not prevent fall damage

Would it make sense for fishing in sky-lakes to give a 50% chance for either a sky crate or a sky crystal crate?

Nice, really like the aesthetics of this one, and that lance sounds fun to use. I imagine anything that negates fall damage, such as wings, also negates the damage of the stirrups/gear?

Yep. It makes fall damage something risky to play with

This looks pretty cool. Your alternates always look amazing.
I noticed a minor typo. You spelled 'Cowl' as 'Cowel'.

I like the concept of floating crystals...
Thinking of crystals that make Islands float.
Castle in the sky is a movie that has just that... Please look it up and be inspired.
I'm inspired enough to make my own suggestion!
Should I do that?
Example I can think of a minion, a magic weapon, accessory and a mount!
Minion, that robot with lasers.
The crystal would inspire both weapon and accessory
Of course they had flying ships in the movie. Can't forget those!
Real question.
Should I in fact go and make my own thread about castle in the sky?

Dreamtree, why not? If you think the idea's good enough and want to do it, then go for it.

This is a pretty good idea

I adore this idea! Really can't wait to see how it progresses. Do you intend to make player sprites for the accessories? I'd love to see how you picture them on a player, particularly the cowl. The music choice is good, and the sprites are great! My only criticism for them would be that you use pure black outlines far too often. I think the sprites could be improved massively if you made the outlines a different colour.

The outlines are black for forum readability.
Also, as it says in the disclaimer:
Izzabelle said:
I have no plans right now to show player sprites with the accessories. But if there were enough want for them I would consider it!

Super cool! Gives me kind of a "The Dark Crystal" vibe! Amazing!
