New melee attack! + poll results
🕑 Added 2018-07-22 16:31:05 +0000 UTC Hey everyone! I meant to post this yesterday, since I'm going to aim for at-least-weekly updates here, but I ended up getting an absolutely killer headache basically all day and wasn't able to get much of anything done. Sorry about that, but I'm feeling much better today so here we go!As you can see from the above gif, Crisis Point has a new melee attack! You can see the animation in much higher quality at this link: https://gfycat.com/WarlikeCookedAndeancat
Out with the old, ugly kick, in with a new much fancier animation. I wanted to get this new melee animation in this update because of the new enemy stagger system we're adding - aside from rapid, heavy blaster hits, meleeing an enemy is also a great way to stagger them, as most enemies will immediately stagger to a melee attack. Staggers will also cancel whatever attack an enemy is doing, meaning there's much more reason to get up close and personal, if you want to risk it. The stagger system is currently not implemented, which is why I'm not showing that off, but it's one of the things we're planning for this update, so melee should hopefully feel like a much more useful tool in this next version!
Now, for the results of the Patron-only poll last week! As you'll know if you read the post, we're going to be trying to add some more sprite H-content in this next update (and hopefully in a steady stream again from here on out), starting with what you guys voted for.
In first place is "Reworked anatomy/animation for older scenes". This means we will first be looking at our old sprite H-scene animations and seeing which ones need updating - like the Warped Scientist BE, the Slime animations, the Tentacle animations, etc. I'll probably go over the list of animations we'll be updating with you guys at a later date, once I know exactly which ones we're doing.
In second place is the New Slime BE (solo and duo), and in third place is the Edovex (flying alien) Duo animation (oh yeah, I renamed the flying aliens to Edovex now, whoo). Now, these two are only one vote apart from each other, and they're both only a tiny bit behind the first place vote for Reworked animation/animation for older scenes, so I think what we'll be doing is reworking the most egregious animations first, then doing the Slime and Edovex animations so we'll have some more NEW content, then finishing the reworking before we move on.
Trailing way behind in 4th and 5th places are the New Tentacle BE and New Edovex BE animations, respectively. Those ones got only a little over half the votes of the other options, so we'll definitely save them for once we've finished everything else.
Alright, that's all I've got today everyone! Streams are still coming I promise, but with the headaches I've been getting lately I just haven't had a good day. I'm working on fixing that, so I think I'll be able to start them up really soon - sorry they keep getting delayed. Until next time!
