been trying to draw an auto-attack for sword guy's jab (5A), i was thinking BBCF Naoto's 5AA - but man i suck at drawing so bad, I can't even get the first frame down
so to make myself feel better (convenient excuse), I got the Groundwork of FLCL book reprint and Animation Key Frame Arts Of Yutaka Nakamura VOL.1 which I remember wanting to get back when I went to Japan last year all these artbooks and i still don't really draw, man
past few days haven't been so good - my car got into an accident which sucks, then i puked twice the next day, then i had to deal with some power tripping cop bullshit sorting out my car, and im not sure if my car insurance is gonna come through can't believe im having real life problems
watched the first 3 episodes of False Memory, episode 1 writing-wise didn't feel as deep but by episode 3 things are starting to get interesting ; though all around, wonderful animation throughout - total cut above what's coming out right now. i see alot of the creators' personal tastes - im charmed
just paid for a bilibili premium membership just so I could watch False Memory on 1080p and they don't have any subs - where they at
tip of my nose was itchy all night and couldn't figure out why turns out there was a giant nose hair rubbin it the whole time
found this chiptune album, Frosty Frolic by Robotprins, this morning and man this is so fire music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

wanted to look into doing the floor/wall bounce thing that Slave Zero X does - but just realized i haven't been implementing hitstun properly so gonna have to work on that ; no floating sword guy video today -_-
Was thinking on the car ride back home, I'm gonna try to stop describing games with the phrase "like [other game]" to people, felt it too reductive - even if I do feel that way
some footage of the game i made with my friend - you're a robot in a dying world ; go talk to some robots & walk around lozerd.itch.io/relicto #gmtk #gamedev
i think i've said best of zach 2 about 50 times today also, im doing GMTK with a friend rn so taking a break from sword guy this weekend we're just making a minit-like - i wanted to do a thing with made up languages but i think that's gone from our prototype, oh well
tweaked the slide since it was a bit off - so it lerps to a stop ; also made you slow down way more when you hit an enemy - also added a neat trick where you can drift to get extra hits or stop faster and the best thing, added a slide+jump cancel tech to get way more speed faster - i love tech!!!
not done with the jab - but the lunge and spin feels interesting-ish enough for me to make a vid needs more distinguishing sound effects
im in a dopamine deficit rn with my game - was working on adding steering to the sword, it looks really cool but it might be the buggiest thing ever and i got no idea why some of these bugs even happen when debugging
added dash, backdash, slide and divekick - state transitions and speeds are off but im hoping they'll be good tools to the kit sword attacks now only go into active frames when you release the sword attack button - so it's negative edge now and it slowly moves to target before release in auto mode
tried to time slow while dialling (the dialing is really non-obvious rn) but the sword misses alot more because the targetting is inaccurate during time slow also added an experimental behavior to hover over targets in AUTO - not sure if i want this to be the standard, i like sending it from player
very messy debug footage of me trying to implement a dialing system (which I took from Deadbeat) for the sword attacks (which doesn't work but i just wanted to see how it feels)
Got some feedback - I think they see the potential, I just need to double down on some design decisions
gonna go to a local indie event tmrw, planning to set up floating sword guy on my laptop - get some of that feedback!! also i started looking into gamepad controls and wow, idk if i made it so now keyboard is the best way to play but man gamepad sucks ; hitbox has potential tho, just need keybinds
I bought this for FSG action game research but I didn't expect this box to be awesome ; it's a pretty niche Disgaea game, never knew there was an action game spinoff until a few days ago
this song is freakin killer guys My eyes could not believe this track and album was from 2002 music.youtube.com/watch?v=qBdy...

I wish I could be ok with replying more often to posts that interest me on here instead of feeling and thinking I'm an affront to humanity every time and that whatever I say will just make things worse
managed to do 5 half-circle specials in a row on BBCF training mode, learning about SOCD for hitbox saved me 😭
bro went back and actually made the sword swing code work as he intended originally instead of whatever was actually happening in reality - so it basically looks like i made no progress T-T
thinking of updating my personal website soon - saw some kouhai from my old anime club update some things on theirs
