Hensen Hopper

I think today I'm going to work on the effect for when the beetle's shield breaks because that was the one thing I could not get to work on my last day off before I ran out of time that day and had to release v0.2.

Just published version 0.2.0 of Hensen Hopper! This version includes the beetle enemy I've been working on for the last, I'm not sure anymore, a while. A more detailed changelog can be found in the download.

I've more or less finished off the beetle enemy's animations now. Here's a short video showing the defeat animation as well as how it currently looks in-game. I still need to work on an effect for when the shield breaks, though.

FIRST ACTUAL EDIT USING DAVINCI RESOLVE!!! Also, FINALLY, here's that clip of the beetle's idle animation I promised a while ago.

I added the leaf shield to the beetle since the last time I posted to Game Jolt! I've also added a detail where it deteriorates over time as you strike it with bullets which I think is a nice touch! Yes, it's a separate sprite from the beetle himself lol.

You know what, I'll post the video of the animation itself tomorrow because I am currently in the process of switching editing softwares (which is why I haven't uploaded much to my YouTube channel lately) and I need to learn DaVinci Resolve first lol.

I DID end up making the body and elytra both 1 cycle/s and the wings 6 cycles/s. I'm working on a video of the animation itself playing in the Unity editor so you guys can see it properly. I think it turned out well!

I think I'm gonna do the same thing I did for Hensen's and the yellow jacket soldiers' idle animations and have the body be 1 cycle/s while the wings are 6 cycles/s. Not sure about the elytra yet but I think that should be either 1 or 2 cycles/s.

OKAY, here's it ACTUALLY finished! Quite happy with how this turned out, actually! I've drawn this sprite in 3 layers, the wings, the elytra, and the body, which will make animating this thing a lot easier when I get onto doing that.

Finally working on the sprite for the beetle enemy!!! I need to get off my computer and do some stuff right now but I thought the idea of posting a headless (I haven't done the head yet) beetle screenshot was hilarious so I'm doing that first lmao.
