Also, Hensen Hopper version 0.2.1 is up! This is a very small update to version 0.2, all that is different is the beetle's sheild now has a break animation and a sound effect going along with it.
I'm probably gonna tweak these in the near future and release a version 0.2.2 if I'm being completely honest.
As always, the release can be found both here and on Itch if you for whatever reason prefer Itch over Game Jolt (I do not but I always release my games in both places anyway)
AAAAAAA! The spider is coming along!!! I'm actually quite proud of the way this turned out! I'm planning to take a break for a bit but I am ALSO gonna add some more idle movements to the spider and then apply some drop shadows and it'll look a ton better.
Working on animating the spider! Like I did with Hensen and the other enemies, I'm doing it in layers, starting first with the web and now with the propeller thingy on the back.
THE SPIDER IS COMING
HIS HANDS ARE ANIMATED NOW!
Been working on the artwork for the spider enemy!!! This is a preview of what it'll look like in-game. I am gonna remove all of these drop shadows as I usually apply those to the spritesheets themselves once I've drawn the animations.
Okay so I've effectively phased out the profile selection menu, or, well, TECHNICALLY not. The profiles system is still there, it's just invisible now. There is only one profile that's either created or loaded on game start. No more profile choosing.
Last post for today! Been getting some work done on the art for the spider, so far I've drawn a colored concept art (I know I completely messed up the web) and got started on the actual sprite, well, at least the layer that will be the spider's web.
He has hands now!
Four hours in, and my autistic hyperfixation of the year has already spawned. I'm planning on DIY-ing a tensegrity dining table this year thanks to a video by Steve Mould where he showcased a small one. Oh yeah, also, Hensen Hopper, I'll work on that too.
Officially gotten started with the spider!!!!!!!!
