Saturday Update!
🕑 Added 2024-07-27 13:02:15 +0000 UTCHello again! It's the weekend and it's time for some more sprites!
Current Image Finalization: 352/743 - 47%
I think I got a relatively okay amount of work done last week. The heatwave finally ended mid week and I was finally able to sleep for more than an hour at a time π©π
I do think that my old quota of 30-35 might be a bit unreasonable now that I've moved on from sprite sets with a ton of of expressions though [ I got 25 done last week ]. I can pump out an expression in like 15-20mins, but fresh bases and pose changes take a lot longer. The rest of the art is a lot more varied in poses- stuff that's more to the cg/full screen art side of the spectrum.
Although honestly, that doesn't really change anything LMAO My approach has always been to just get what I can get done without pressuring myself too much. This project is too large to risk crunch and burnout. Better to just keep doing what I can do and say 'it'll be done when it's done'!
Anyway, let's get into it!
The first thing I worked on was my last 'major sprite set':
Starting off nice and cute because the other two poses I worked on are a little more aggressive LMAO
I also took some time to do a bit of coding for the rest of the sprites I worked on. I originally drew the placeholders with these sort of comic book style black bars for emphasis.
This effect was alright, but once I got to the art, I thought I could improve the effect a bit by coding in the black bar separately and animating them.
It's fairly subtle and might be hard to see in the gif, but I swear it looks a lot more polished on the full sized game with no watermarks LMAO
The other advantage to animating the bars is that I was able to make a cool transition to the last pose I worked on last week!
I feel like this sequence is a lot nicer with the changes! ^o^
I think next week I want to shake it up a little and do at least a few Ren sprites π€
I think that's about all I have for now though! A short and sweet update!
Thank you all so much for your support! π Please take care and have a great weekend!!

late acknowledgement, but i love animating the bars at the same time as the screen shake. it feels a lot more impactful and intentional!!

I gotta say, I didnβt know what I was expecting when I became a patron, and it definitely wasnβt insane progress on a dope new game with a FUCKIN COOL art style. So so glad to see youβre still rocking this. The work you do is amazing and Iβm glad to be able to support it! βπ€ keep up the wonderful work for all us weirdos. π
