Working on a sequel. I'm still handling all the art/animation, and Héctor Sobrevilla is working on the coding. Its shaping up nicely.

I'm polishing the old anim and adding fresh new ones. Also adding new enemies, new bosses and completely new environments.
The new combo system that Hector put together is amazing. Were planning on having multiple weapons that you unlock after defeating bosses.

Right now Killgore is almost too strong but were going to add a leveling system where you start off with just basic attacks and gain new fancy moves as you level up. As you get stronger we'll balance it out by giving enemies the ability to block and dodge attacks, as well as adding heavy enemies to back up the weaklings.

Cool!! :handclap:
I don't know if this is only a movie issue, but maybe you could add some frames to the animation of the tail.

Your talking about the tail movement during the jab punch right? I noticed it before but I was too lazy to fix it haha. I'll fix it now :P

I was talking about the bull's tail, generally during all the animations I saw it wasn't "fluid". The graphics is very nice, but I noticed only this detail that could be improved (ok, and the shadows, but maybe these are a planned feature that you're going to add).

;D

That must be the video quality cuz I've got a lot of frames on the tail except during the jab. When you say shadows do you mean shadows being cast on the environment or self-shadows?

I think a simpler technique: blob shadows; also this simple kind of shadows could add quality to your (already very nice) graphics.

I love the look of those graphics... Very fluid.

Being the lazy ass that I am could I possibly ask for a link to the first one?

Sure no problem http://www.kongregate.com/games/truendymion/killgore

@ yajo: OK I think I know what you mean by blob shadows. Also check out this updated HUD

Yes, now I've seen the game and not only the video: you're right, it's very fluid, and the graphics in movement is very nice.


Wow! Yes! With shadows it looks better!
And, yes, this HUD is more beatiful than the old one. Only a doubt about the grayed area: isn't it too large?
Now I've played the game and it's so fun... Maybe it could be a nice improvement to add the possibility to change the direction of the jump while the bull is "flying".

Change the direction of the jump is one of many improvements/additions for this sequel. ;)

Working on cut-scenes now...

New video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ePKWNOznTk

Is it normal that 'shadows' are set 'on' and the video doesn't show shadows? Another question; are you going to polish backgrounds? Because the previous ones were graphically better than the actual ones. However, the gameplay looks great!

The videos are made out of the debug version, most elements will be removed/replaced on the final version.

- The real HUB is the one showed on the image above.
- The shadow option refers to the shadow effect for the enrage mode (showed on the first video).
- Shadows for objects and characters haven’t been added.
- The background graphics are provisional; I (the programmer) made them for testing purposes.

I updated the original post with some new stuff.
