Mutagenesis - Process journal II
🕑 Added 2020-10-03 07:23:22 +0000 UTCMaking steady progress, though i keep getting sidetracked by experimenting on making stuff that won't appear in the final zine/booklet. but thats half the fun imo. here's a little update.
First off, some major changes to the Imago's design like i was considering in my last post. now it really has that "shmup spacefighter" look i wanted. i'm gonna stop myself from fiddling with it any more and call it complete... i also tested my rusty pixel art skills and made the sprite version of the Imago, as well as some really crunchy still frame tests. i also had a shot animating in CSP for the first time:
there are also some new characters: an android laboratory assistant with 4 arms; Io's former mentor/wing commander/maybe love interest.... now MIA and assumed killed by the Body after breaching its core; the "player 2" character, pilot of the Imago's sister ship and the youngest ace pilot in the force.
and to finish, a preview of a 3 page comic that will form an "intermission", and a written excerpt from the final section of the booklet.
things have been kinda constantly overwhelming on my end (as has been the case the entire year) but the more i work on this, the more exciting it becomes to me. i've been watching lots of longplays of various shmups from different points in time, and i've discovered a wealth of music and visuals i wouldnt otherwise have experienced. i've also been having lots of fun emulating a few games even tho i am definitely not the most skilled at shooters loL.
anyway, i hope you're all doing okay, thanks as always for looking <3
