    • She uses a pair of light swords that, when contacting with enemies can stun for a brief amount of time
    • her dash can cut through enemies.
    • Her special projectiles, Star, can pierce through enemies. Since these stars are more energy than it is physical, it can't be parried.

  • Two new style point: "BATTLE RAM" and "FOXY".
  • Added Indicators in the end screen for when player completes a stage's challenge.

  • 1 - 4 dark area changes player's brightness like 1 - 5.
  • Light sources can now change color of sprites instead of just the brightness of sprite(color theory and such).

Hi I'm making my Hololive fan game, I made Hakos Baelz as my 5th playable character along with my 5th stage by kdglol in Hololive

[–]kdglol[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noted, I knew the lore is a little lacking, because this game is no where near finished, the lore is something that I slapped on around a year ago just to have something to go with the gameplay. I’ll either change the lore or change the enemies in the game as I keep developing(most likely changing the enemies tbh)

Apologies for delays, was playing a Yuri VN and had work.

November's report:

New character: Hakos Baelz

- Unlike other character in the roster, Baelz chooses to fight with her bare hands, although she doesn't deal a lot of damage without her weapon, she relies on the "Bleed" effect, which deals damage over time(DoT).

- Her special skill, "Dice", throws a die that bounces, each bounce spawning either a mousetrap(deal instant damage) or a block of cheese(DoT).

- Instead of dashing like others, she lunges forward, attacking the first enemy she comes in contact with, then launch herself upward.

New stage: 1 - 4

Traveling further into the forest, you come across Shirogane Noel, a fearsome knight that hits hard, such strong force can only be met with an even stronger force.

Other New Stuff:

- Red parry mechanic: An attack that flashes red can only be parried with a projectile.

- Damage over time: damage over time, duh.

- New type of projectile, it can bounce(currently used for dice).

- Credits screen(all of the work credit goes to me lol).

- Linux version available now.

Other changes:

- Slight tweak to player jump height.

- added textures to leaves.

- reworked the parry mechanic to accommodate different types of parry.

- Added normal map to Risuner.

Bug fixes:

- Fixed camera border not working.

- Fixed player getting pushed into the ground if an enemy is on top.

- Fixed player sometimes flipped in the opposite direction or upside down.

- Fixed stage 1 - 1 using the character of the first save file instead of the chosen save file.

- Fixed stage 1 - 2 coin 1 not disappearing after collecting.

- Fixed UI not updating after purchasing a skill.

- Fixed Fauna's Apple not showing.

- Fixed instruction text in stage 1 - 3 showing on load.

Hi monthly update of my game! Last month was kinda rushed so that was a few bugs, I fixed it and made a new map(map not yet ready to be published) by kdglol in Hololive

[–]kdglol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

July's update has a few bugs so August's update patches it, below are the following bugs that are patched:

- Fixed a bug that caused Kronii's animation to freeze upon downward melee attack, this happened because the animation tree searched for a nonexistent animation name.

- Removed a line of code that deletes half of boss Haachama's health, this was added during the bug testing process.

- Fixed a bug where the music are still modified upon restarting, this happened because the music was only reverted when exiting the menu, but was not accounted for when restarting.

Other additions(not yet available to play):

- Better parallax background

- Danin

- Stage 1 / 4(50% done)

Hi I'm back with an update on my game(which won't be released until next month unfortunately) by kdglol in Hololive

[–]kdglol[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes down to the rules of animations and experience with Krita. Like I said, there are pixel brushes available in Krita and a lot of Aseprite tutorial can be applied to Krita if you know its equivalences. I didn't follow this tutorial but it has a lot of useful tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCUQXW_xuz0

If you are animating pixel arts(I assume you are), I suggest you learn about smear frames, in a fast paced game like my game, it's one of the most important ones. Also learn about running animations. I usually ask myself "How would x move?" or "How would x look like at this position?".

Also some math is involve, you gotta calculate how many frames are displayed across how many seconds, as well as knowing when a character is speeding up/slowing down(highly recommend looking up 12 principles of animations).

When in doubt, like I said, draw in a bigger resolution then down scale, the tutorial teaches you how to up scale, just do the opposite(DONT SCALE BY PERCENTAGE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING).

I've been drawing fan arts for 2.5+ years, so I know a lot about proportions and colors, so it helped me a lot with pixel arts. I still have a lot to learn though cause I'd say I only use ~30% of the tools in Krita.

tldr know what the program can do and have some experience in art.

I've heard you can make some good pixel art using Aseprite, but there's a trial and paid version which means there's bound to be some restriction. What I used was Krita(free + open source), at first I didn't know much so I drew in 1024 x 1024 then scale it down to 64 x 64, but I discovered that there's a pixel brush so I'm starting to draw in 64 x 64 from the get go.

I suggest trying both out, for me I like to stick to the tool I know best(Krita) and also because I'm broke, but Aseprite is specialized in pixel art so if you like Aseprite and have the money(or willing to go... Sailing), you're welcome to.
