Devlog No.064 (Patreon)

Starting to think that thursdays will be devlogs from now on. Everytime I want to do a devlog I keep telling myself that I just want to finish one more thing.

Anyway, the bell priest animations are almost all done. Just need to do her blimping animation, then she'll be good for programming.

Here's one lil animation of her to tease. (Patrons can find most of her animations on the discord)

This would be her ghostie summoning animation. She'll start doing this for a little while and summon a few ghosties to chase you down.

I've also started on the next NPC that involves a filimuri and the night of falling stars. I've done a little work for the environment she'll be in. It'll be a little later in the game in one of the last underwater areas and involving icy waters. It's not much work though as it's mostly just recoloring and slight color adjustment for sandy/rocky segments. The newest element that will be added will be ice and some scenery, though I haven't gotten to that just yet. Once the area is set up I'll show it off.

Though I'm not going to focus too hard on it since that's going to be part of a later area, though anything I setup now just means less work down the line that's all. Mostly will just get it set up enough so that I can do the tf animation for the NPC.

Speaking of, this is how she looks currently:

She will likely end up named Foss. I'm still debating on her appearance and outfit. I wanted to go with a teal and reddish combo and then felt like some pumpkin orange makeup might look good with a little of the pale blue. Though I'm still debating those colors especially for the hair. Though I do want this lady to be a looker!

She is one of the meaner, manipulative filimuri. Something of a bully if you will. Lets hope she gets her comeuppance! (Well, no hope needed since that's the plan. I've settled on a shortstack tf for her ending with her in a bikini most likely. Still trying to decide if I should have her start off gorgeous looking evil sorta lady and end up with a cute nerdy look like she's being punished, or just keep her face the same just shrink and widen her.)

And for the recolored stuff so far:

Again, this didn't take much to do and still need some work and I need to spend time doing the ice (which will require actual effort). The NYI spaces are new. I threw them all over my spritesheet in smaller places so when I load stuff up I will know if I accidentally used those blank spaces in the game and can fix them easier.

As for stage progression, nothing to really report. Well, nothing important I'd say. It's just a steady march forward right now.
