Still working on Steambot, also did some unrelated pixel art animation work yesterday on ustream, going to do that again tonight at around 8 PM EST (so about 1:15 from now). Working some more on steambot until then.

Done a couple hours on steambot. Made it work with steam pressure, and added the forward rushing attack. Theres a glitch with it though, it doesnt seem to do any damage to bosses. Going to have to look into that. It was all liiiiive! Thanks for everyone who pitched in.

[Edit]: just fixed that glitch! Took a bit of testing, but found it. Its a long boring story though.

Lurdiak: BLEH!!

Im almost done with steambot now, just have to give him proper subweapons. Also, both him and Electroz dont have a heads up display yet, im starting to sketch those.

Tonight im going to live stream again, this time ill be working on the last of the robots that ill talk about here, Pyroporous

Hes not going to need much work, being the only alt robot that was already a lot of fun to use before I started this topic. Hes got a flamethrower as a main weapon.  Its very powerful, slow and short range, satisfying to use. Im just going to change how it works a little bit, being a constant stream instead of a single bursts thing. Hes going to have some cool subweapons too.

The next robot after that is gonna stay s e c r e t. Hes a pretty weird one.

This game is awesome.

More or less finished the flamethrower robot during the stream, then I started drawing some monsters for one of the game modes. All thats left for the alt robots now is, two of em have their subweapons missing, and I need to finish some of the HUDs still. Then theres the secret 7th character, and I can move on to something else, probably the whole awards/unlocking system. After that, I'll probably be finishing up the game's ending cinematics/animations, which I obviously wont stream or talk about in too much detail...

The character/ game mode unlocking used to be way too complicated; lots of achievement-like trophies that were displayed in a trophy room, some of them unlocking content, other content being unlocked by reaching an arbitrary trophy count. I decided to go for a much simpler system that gives you medals for clearing challenges, integrated in the level and character select screens. Raising your medal count is how you unlock all the characters, and you unlock most game modes by just beating the game at higher difficulty levels. Most of the work is going to be testing the game to find the high score and best time targets for all the characters and all the play modes of course. But for now I need to set up the system itself.

I fixed some minor bugs yesterday and improved the power-up and health bar codes to be simpler and behave more like the original mega man games, I also tweaked pit deaths. Wanted to do more but the sniffles made it difficult to work, gonna try to make up for lost time.

Now streaming again. This time ill be drawing heads up displays for various characters, and maybe drawing more monsters later on or implementing the HUDs into the game.
