(holy crap, the legacy version of the game is going to be 3 years old, and i haven't and i haven't told you about progress yet...)
hi. jacy again with another progress report thingy. remember that the progress stuff happens more than a couple of months and i'm sorry if i got busy for not telling you guys about the progress on this game. i'm trying my best trying to do everything for my (dead) team, and i kind of feed bad.
this report is also about me talking about random stuff on what i learned during development or just stuff in general. you can find out when you scroll down more and MORE.
BUT FIRST!
ok, so... happy memorial day everybody!
your loved ones will remember you despite them not being there. they will rest in power as long as you can imagine them...
yeah, that's all i have to say, sorry.
POINT TO THE BACK!
ok, so about the progress for this game, i think it's going well i suppose. i didn't do anything major yet, but i'm trying to be organized with the levels i create one by one. i think it's slower for development if you can tell. i'm the only person currently working on the game SOLE-ly, okay?
USELESS CHARACTER DON'T TALK TO BE ABOUT THEM
anyways, for what i'm doing currently, i redid the inside of a building 3 times. i'm also a PERFECTIONIST. i redid this 2 TIMES if i count right. it's just to get my or your eyes going "what the F#%#" and "woah, that's cool" kind of vibe.
the current one has more stock images than the previous 2.
the current version has more stock images than the previous two next to it. the usage of images is/was based on how homestuck does it.
speaking of homestuck, i actually 'red acts 1-3 plus the entire problem sleuth and jailbreak stories. i learned stuff from it and it's kind of complicated to explain to be honest. i recommend watching brad's big homestuck review series. it's pretty entertaining and such and it gives off a good listen.

TLELS HOMESTUCK SPRITE
JACY COMMENTARY: replicating that artstyle is hard to be honest. but i actually like how it looks with the tail animation combined. insert SBURB.EXE image right there. it's a fan adventure from the MSPFA site, maybe go check it out if you feel like it.
...are you going to click on the image? start at PAGE_1, dingus! don't go/read ahead!
.
PROGRAMMING SKILLS
so, about my coding skills (with the topic of homestuck). i think it's getting better the more i understand it. i made a recreation of this FLASH PAGE of homestuck, "[S] YOU THERE, BOY." as a test.
.
JOHN EGBERT WALKING WITH MY KEYBOARD
JACY COMMENTARY: there's also mouse controls.
.
even though it's not a great FULL recreation, i'm still impressed on how the coding process goes behind the curtains. by the way, you can play this yourself! it's just a test for john's moveset, that's all.
.
if you're a coding nerd, what's the difference between 'if' and 'while' next to 'place_meeting(x,y,obj_wall) {x += 1;}'? answer it if you like, i'm not forcing you.
.
oh wait, do you want gameplay of STPP? well, here you go.
a bug fix i did. no spoilers.
USAGE OF ADOBE FLASH.
remember this screen from SUNKY PART 3? well, looney told me that this and the super sunky winking animation are done in flash. don't believe me? well check this out. some animations have the adobe flash color palette and sometimes they don't.
i wanted to try replicating how he does it. plus, i kind of wanted to do traditional animation if i get into that. i'm kind of a big fan of paper animation and it made me inspired when watching a couple of classic cartoons like looney tunes or spongebob. i mean, they're cartoons. what else i can say?
.
KEYFRAMES OF BULLS@@#$.
JACY COMMENTARY: they're just keyframes in this 8-frame timeline! no spoilers, lords! ok, in all seriousness, it's just me starting off with a 2-frame animation of tlels trying to open a door, but he can't 'cause it's locked...
...

...you like to see the preview? ok, here.

THE RANDOMNESS SECTION.
you heard it right. this section is going to be me saying stuff. nothing interesting really. i just like typing this stuff out. it can be anything, i don't know.
.
firstly, let me answer this strawpage question:
ANSWER: not really. i just thought of the "guardians" being sunky's IMAGINITIVE FRIENDS, but i thought it's stupid. so, i would rather refer to them as sunky's THOUGHTS AS CHARACTERS.
.
A MESSAGE TO MARSHADOO.
hey marsh! i like to write this because i know your EVE oc since the "sunky fanclub" days. your character is interesting the more you improve your art style and art skills. i can actually see it really.
your character is still going after the deletion and it's kind of a good thing to heal from it. i hope things are going well and such. don't give yourself a hard time. focus on what does best for you.
EVE WATCHING SUNKY.MPEG DANCE
thank you.
UNSEEN (SCRAPPED) CONTENT
"YOU ARE FAT" - remember that?
this section will be me showing off random art pieces i did back then when this game is still in development.
.
MONEYBAGS SITTING IN FRONT OF HIS MONITOR IN DESPAIR
JACY COMMENTARY: i was going to make the story in a more serious tone with moneybags from the original MPEG story, but i thought it's stupid and that the game is just a parody that shouldn't be taken seriously.
.
SCRAPPED CONCEPT ART OF EEMIE
JACY COMMENTARY: since i made a decision that sunky the pc port is going to be based on the ORIGINAL 2021(?) SONIC PC PORT, i scrapped this design of eemie.
.
CONCLUSION
yeah, that's all that i have to say. no major stuff going on, just letting you know what i do. i may get into 3d modeling again on anim8or when i get a chance on doing it. i'm scared of using blender. i have eats using that program anyway.
sorry, there's not a lot to say in this section.
FAREWELL
alrighty boys. ima end this here.
cya!
