The insignia on the UI and the floating robot head thing at the top of the most recent screenshot look a lot like stuff from Portal. Coincidence?

The pixel work is gorgeous.

[John Sandoval]

thank you

and yes portal is the best game

[John Sandoval]

some enemy concepts

yes spikes are your enemies

[Majestic]

Looks pretty good John, keep up the good work. Let me know if you audio work.

The tracks currently in the game the few that I got to ya? If they are - you want me to polish them a bit more and get some more in the same vein for you?

yes!

some more enemy ideas

also i implemented support for moving platforms and finished the code for the basic 3 hit combo

[John Sandoval]

implemented the mana system

Alas, long friendless days spent writing creative fiction have HARDLY prepared you for the rough and tumble of close quarters combat...

Attacking with your 3 hit combo, or using your other offensive abilities will drain 1 Mana with every hit. And when you run out of Mana, you're effectively as useful as your English degree.

Lucky for you, mana will regenerate at a constant rate. Unlike the time you wasted in college...

(THATS GONE FOREVER)

the point of the mana system is to prevent the player from spamming attacks all day, and encouraging them to utilize alina's psychokinetic abilities to spatially manage enemies while her mana is low.

time will tell if the system is fun or not...

Sounds like the only way to be sure is a play test.... :D

Soon... soon...

I just want to get the basic combat laid out, and have 1 vaguely legitimate enemy before I show you what I have... at the moment its mostly bare bones that you cant really see all in one piece without using the various hotkeys/commands I've set up for myself.

After helping Armageddon with his grappling hook/ledge grabbing problems for his Batman fangame, I've decided to implement the code I wrote for him back into my project. Of course, it's a bit more tricky to deal with since I have moving objects, but it shouldn't be too difficult. That's right folks, you heard it here first. Erhardt will have ledge grabbing. Exciting, exciting stuff.

Now to deal with the animations... 

Don't get me wrong, I love doing them, but it always takes me a really long time before the individual frames start to form some semblance of cohesive movement.

[John Sandoval]

did some work on the logo

here are a few iterations



i like the Rs on the last one so im probably gonna stick with that one (or something like it)



Also I'm wrapping up the last of Alina's animations.

Done with the first frame of her throwing animation.



Now I've just got to finish this one, as well as her climbing and forward jumping animations (as opposed to her purely vertical jump).
