Progress Log 12/15/21 - Animation and Sophie’s New Design! (Patreon)

We’ve been busy working on some vital stuff for Project Cappuccino 2. A good chunk of it has consisted of animating the dialogue sprites for characters, as well as the time skip designs of the original cast.

New Cast Animations

A lot of these sprites have a few quirks to them that we’re hoping will stick with players. Many of the characters have expression effects for things such as laughing.

You can really feel her making fun of you with some of these faces.

Mana will puff out shapes in her smoking animation.

There are 5 shapes that can appear, with a rare chance of a whetstone gnome popping up. Keep an eye out for it!

Yani on the other hand is really bouncy and all over the place. She’s got some physics going on with her tongue, as well as drool particles.

We’re kind of happy with how she came out since it gets her gremlin nature across pretty well.

Last but not least, Charlotte.

She’s proven to be a bit more work intensive since she has the split personality. Some of her expressions are very refined and elegant, while her frenzied mode is jittery and anxious.

All we can say is that Charlotte will be chaotic.

Progress on Sophie’s Time Skip Design

This is rough but here’s how Sophie 2.0 is coming out.

The other characters also have some WIPs but we’ll likely be ready to show those in the next progress log.

Lastly, the art poll closed today and the winners were Sophie and Yani tied up like Christmas Presents! We'll be streaming this on Saturday, so stay tuned!

That’s all for now!
